tbf how is this actually supposed to hurt them?  It already runs at a loss, it's not like they're losing big money.  For two days.

Then again it's online activism so it's already a joke that can't actually do anything.

They'll never acknowledge the effect of the public outcry, but don't take that to mean the demonstration did nothing.
Here we are, talking about it.
Who's to say how it affects the zeitgeist?

Don't be defeatist.

Someone reassure me that we don't communicate with other people who are themselves dreaming in our dreams.

I'm sure the next time you're dreaming someone'll let you know that, just to be reassuring :V

Oh... Well it aint all bad. Can we dim it a little, I fear the light.

Somehow I found a movie or a movie found me? Robot Circus 1987, just wow, can be found conveniently at yt"""Am8grbyTxTw. At the very midpoint, "the silly fun bit" I thought my heart might burst it hit hard after this nights dream, and the thing after that oof i was super afraid the movie might not be over because sticking the landing after that...What conceivable landing? But then they start playing with notion of end and it just gets funnier for each end, and thatīs how they dont send you home with a knot in the stomach, but rather quite satiated. Itīs extremly well paced to invoke emotions precisely when they want to, what a rollercoaster (heh), how do you plan such a thing in animation, itīs like they QA tested it with lsd. I donīt think there would have been a more relevant day for me to stumble on it, which given the movies inscrutablity is something to say.... So I guess I used up all my luck and will gladly take shelter in the white space, if thats what it takes to get some rest.

(or maybe I show up and the place isnt bright af and just plastered with breaking bad memes... that might be preferable)

Listening to the Starbound soundtrack. Such a lovely, sombre OST.

Makes me sad that the game turned out so... meh. It's not even bad, it's just meh.

I remember back when I first got starbound that it looked really cool and had so much potential, but then with each update it got more and more linear and that took the fun out of it for me.

I remember it was even very popular for a while and then people kinda abandoned it.

Internet's shit and has been shit for a few days now. An engineer was supposed to come out to fix it today, but it's 20:20 and the internet's still shit so I'm not convinced that happened.

It's an excellent opportunity to ditch the electronics and go back to monke for a while. Climb a tree. Eat a banana. Fling some shit at passers by.

Badly jammed my toe in the mat at Jitsu. Pretty sure it's not broken, but it's sore in an aching-burning manner that's on-and-off and fairly nasty when I put weight on it.

Been dealing with a nonstop week of shit rolling downhill and shit rolling up pipes. Caught in a dispute between two nursing managers and a director after one of the managers just binned a fuck ton of active study equipment with the director trying to pin this on me for not stopping them instead of the manager not asking before binning. They're trying to minimise the fallout caused by having to explain to pharmaceutical giants why we need new kits without looking like unprofessional clowns, unfortunately we are currently unprofessional clowns. I don't have any liability in any sense, but careers will be bricked, and everyone involved were colleagues I supported and they supported me so these burned bridges will basically flatline our careers here. And after four catastrophic pipe blockages, two of which resulted in site closures, the ultra overlord boss paid for some specialists to investigate with an endoscope and the conclusion they've come to is that it was a deliberate act of sabotage using a compacted ball of hand dry towels. This surprises me; in surveys the majority of staff are thinking of leaving but to go after the pipes is a shit move. Luckily I already booked a month of annual leave off so in a short while I won't have to deal with this anymore. Yet I had gone from one week of constant success where it was looking like I would be able to gun for a leadership position to one week of constant shit where the studies I was going to lead shut down, my name got dragged into a war I had nothing to do with against people I supported in the last round of job cuts, and there is something rotten in the state of the pipes as a sussy saboteur lurks amongst us
