A Grasshopper frolicked while an Ant stored food for the winter. Then the Ant and their hivemates decided to put a horrible parasitic Wasp in charge, and the Wasp destroyed all the food, antagonized the hive's neighbors, and disappeared any Ant who dared speak out against the Wasp.

The Grasshopper looked on in horror as the ant hive collapsed, then shrugged and went back to frolicking with their friends because grasshoppers know how to fucking party.

If I've blocked you and you're wondering why, I just want you to know that it wasn't because I thought there was no possibility of meaningful dialogue between me and you, or that I wanted to save both of us time wasted on pointless bickering, or that I felt unsafe, or anything like that.

It was because you're a terrible human being and a genuine waste of a life, and I hope that deep down you know that's true.

I love it when the dog is dreaming and her legs are going like she's running. It's both wild and wonderful that animals dream. What a shame it'd be if our kind were the only ones who did.

Sweet dreams, little one.

Yarn shop owners booked my wife to teach them some of her dyeing techniques, then left early and stiffed her for $600 because they were "not getting what they wanted" out of the training.

That's fucked up. I know my wife is a phenomenal teacher; I've helped her teach her workshops. This is no way to treat a professional instructor.

I read the whole new thing by Ed Zitron, and it aligns with what I'm seeing. Remember: Displacement, Boom, Euphoria, Profit-taking, Panic, the five stages of a bubble.

We're in Euphoria. Next is Profit-taking, when investors try to exit their positions. That creates the Panic.

That's why there are increasingly hysterical men telling you to start using A.I. tools OR ELSE!
