I was working a new role at a brand new site for a company. Working really hard, putting in a lot of effort, really trying to prove myself. I had 5 years of experience in the role, and wanted to move up in the company. Then my supervisor got one of her friends hired in the same role as me, he had zero experience, never done this before… and they were paying him $10k per year more than me.

I decided right then and there, I was never, ever, going to give a shit about work there again. I got a pay raise to match what he was making, but it took like a year, and my yearly raises since then have been far under inflation. I do not give a shit. I wormed my way like a parasite into the easiest position there, doing as little as possible, entirely remotely. and I still feel like a give too much of a shit. If the job wasn’t so easy, and the job market so horrible, I’d probably have left by now but, eh. I’m making more than most, while doing almost nothing. I can’t really complain.

but oh boy was I fucking pissed.

Don’t you see? if he has enough money then Grimes will love him again! It’s not pathetic, you’re pathetic!

Israeli forces detained Bani Mufleh, from the town of Beita in Nablus, in June 2025 without charge under Israel’s administrative detention policy and released him in January 2026.

“Bani Mufleh suffered a severe brain hemorrhage just two days after his release and he was transferred to a hospital in critical condition,” it said.

6 fucking months. A journalist held without charge for 6 fucking months. They tortured him. There is no way to go from picture A to picture B without EXTREME mistreatment, EXTREME undernourishment. And for him to hemorrhage from his brain just days after release? REEKS of physical abuse. They are truly evil.

Thought of something fun the other day. While putting away groceries in the fridge, I realized that having a nubbin or something on the bottom of the refrigerator door would be massively helpful, allowing me to manipulate the door with my foot while I have full arms/hands.

So I went to reddit ‘showerthoughts’, which I thought was an appropriate venue for the idea, posted aaaaaaand immediately deleted. Mod said “read the rules,” and -no joke- it was like 5 pages of bullshit, wrapped in bullshit with bullshit bullet points. And despite reading it carefully, nowhere did I find the supposed rule I violated which was “to reply to your own post in the comments.”

Bro, fuck your website, fuck your rules, and fuck you.

I just back from vacation, stayed at a hotel that had free breakfast from 6-9. I was in that hotel for a full week, didn’t make it to breakfast once. Felt like a waste of money, waking up at noon and walking to a breakfast place nearby, but I’d rather pay for a meal than wake up early so 🤷‍♂️

Ah don’t worry about it. I’ve been working out since I was a kid and have fucked up so much it’s ludicrous. When nobody tells you how to work out, you end up doing shit wrong. It’s OK though, because just like life, it’s one long slow learning process.

Like, I want to compete in a body building competition, and so I diligently went about my training regimen with renewed focus and determination. Started posing practice after each workout. Couple weeks before the show, I’m at 6% bodyfat, lookin good, feeling good. Then I think “wait a tick, in all my posing, I’ve never actually seen what my back pose looks like.” So I went and set up a tripod and camera and took some shots and… woof. My back is underdeveloped as shit. Look like a body builder from the front, and a lil’ twink stick figure from the back.

So now I incorporate 3 more back exercises.

Also, I only ever started doing a regular Leg Day like 6 months ago (Just bicycled and ran before).

So, yeah. Now I’ve got a competition circled that’s further out so I can focus on back, and hopefully by then I’ll be ready. If not, oh well, just circle the next show on the ol’ calendar.

PROGRESS

Ya know that’s the problem with the indiscriminate murder of men women and children. Some of them may be from the superpower that funds your entire government.

Course, it’s not like magats or pro-zionist democrats will give even half a shit… but if someone competent was in the white house… ah who am I kidding. I have no idea why isreal gets treated like the favorite child that can do no wrong whilst being an absolute shit-stain.

Hey, some good news! huzzah!
