Yes Firefox please do just stop rendering the tab I’m working on and fuck up half an hours worth of work for reasons and without even an error. I do appreciate this
It goes without saying that a Trump presidency is going to be real fucking bad for a lot of people. But for us outside of the US, it’ll be that thing that probably ends up killing neo-liberalism similar to how Brexit made a lot of fashos stop talking about leaving the EU
I’ve been checking in on the cats, so far their routine is watch the door for me around mid afternoon and the rest of the time spread out on the bed enjoying the fact I’m not in it. Mixed messages
My phone does this helpful thing where it will display the local time while remaining in Paris time but my watch will display the what the phone is still living in, so anyways this is why I’m struggling to figure out what time it actually is
“See it. Say it. Sort it.” Turns out they’re not too happy when you report the robbery of rail user’s money since privatisation counts as “suspicious activity”, the price of my ticket here would disagree
Thank god Greater Anglia’s terrible ticket app let me add it in to Google Wallet which is also terrible but less terrible than GA so there is that going in my favour today
I’m so glad I just got a hundred SMS from TfL with security codes, finally added my account but my ancient Oystercard is registered to me but from god knows when so I can’t do shit.
I forgot this train journey is extra long, like oh its nearly 8h should be there in 90 minutes but then the reality of the time goes back and its two hours from now set in. Reason travaux, of course, I picked this journey well
Status update : #TfL is a shitshow already this morning and obviously why mention a bunch of work days in advance when I could have adjusted my connecting train for less than an absolute fortune 🤷♂️
RATP is a lot of things but at least their app doesn’t demand you create an account (after you got cyber attacked) and lock you into “it’s for your safety” while absolutely not sending any codes

Canary Mail needs to calm the fuck down, I was conversing by email on my phone for once and every time I tried to reply it forced this fucking LeT aI rEsPoNd FoR yOu. No X button, no fuck right off forever, just in my fucking face. No. I do not want your fucking AI.

I just looked at the state of my bank account and I’m like where did it all go. Well electric and everything else I was overdue on. Didn’t have to choose what got paid and still have enough left over to actually live
I like to confuse my neighbours by watching Radio Canada. I overheard one talking about me not long ago, they have no idea what language this house speaks - sometimes English, sometimes French, sometimes weird French, sometimes who knows. Keep ‘em guessing 🤣
Google is some real clown ass shit, can’t connect to my own account as absolutely none of the security login options are available in my region. Didn’t realise the EU was that strict really 🤷

Dealing with Jarod screaming about something today, weather not right, too wet on the floor, can’t just eat other people’s food, preparing a huge dump from gorging earlier. Who knows really
My phone has been giving me an error about not working without 5G WiFi which is interesting as my phone isn’t new enough to have 5G WiFi. Turns out Google is now just activating shit in Android, like Android Auto which you can’t uninstall
In an effort to respect “work time is work time, weekend is me time” I’ve dropped the ball on getting my project online. I have so much to do, dépôt de marque, write shit on the website, start publishing blog posts, fix my malt page, etc etc
Hilariously though this gives me some ideas, I could do Ghost like a normal person but hear me out. Dreamwidth is using a fork of Live journal code which is OS if I remember. Is it far too much for one blogger, yes, am I going to do it, probably
Matt Mullenweng is absolutely just going to act like a clown and make me have to figure out how I move from Wordpress now. Rich people just can’t stay in their lane
I’m seeing a lot of headlines from newsbots about all these UN / Red Cross / Journalists / people in general getting hurt mysteriously in Lebanon. If only we had some idea of who was responsible 🤔
British rail is some next level bullshit, vague times, vague prices, find the shitty app from the shitty franchise and hope it’s not lying to you. Pay with Google Pay, they take your money and are like “fuck if I know it got booked lol” maybe it shows up in the app, maybe you just got robbed
Waking up and turning on the news is depressing - G7 concerned about Israel’s attacks on everything but not concerned enough to stop arming them. Front Macronal temporary taxes on a very specific set of rich people that seems almost calculated to not be a problem for the majority of rich people
Don’t even get me started on the amount of TVA I’m collecting right now (and paying) on top of all this other money they’re taking, yet some how my local hospital is barely hanging on. WHERE’S THE MONEY MACRON, IN SWITZERLAND IN BRUNO LE MAIRE’S LUGGAGE PERHAPS 🤔
Also keep in mind I paid my current tax bill at my chômage level back in February but still just been donating 2% of that since May on top for reasons I guess. This is just the most overly complicated mess of a system and peak French bureaucracy
My other option is running it through the actual process and have my tax rate just explode right now, then have to wait another year while they get around to repaying the excess back interest free because I’m basically just guessing right now anyways
Me : I’d like a simple way to run a couple figures through a simulator to see how much my tax rate will go up based on vague information I have now to adjust my %
Les impôts : fuck you just guess and find out you’re super fucking wrong in April 😘
I did the manif today, it was pretty short and seems the CRS are being less in everybody’s face recently. Maybe Macron finally figured out disfiguring protesters and journalists was a bad look 🤷

Jarod just layed himself across my chest for he is withered having not ate a single part of my meal. Starving from not having ate in such a long long time, so long that it can be counted in single digit minutes
Every horror film is some capitalist doing capitalist shit, then Hollywood is like “the real horror here was the ghost”. Nah it’s the asshole who drywalled up a corpse to make a few bux instead of losing a month of rent taking by getting in a priest
Which is primarily why I’m thinking of just vibing with video again, I was never excellent at it but I was good and I enjoyed it. I don’t want to be technically great, just have a decent video camera and go for it like I did back in the day. I committed to it as well with Studio MMN

I think this weekend has been a relief on many fronts, contract is go until the end of 2025, my pay starts at the end of October so only one month of poverty realness left, two quotes in the air, and taking a weekend to block out the world’s many problems to refocus on myself
Accidentally got taken down the rabbit hole of indie film making and honestly I want to try my hand at some jank shorts that I used to create before capitalism destroyed my creativity. They’ll be terrible but at least they’ll be something I did
Tumblr : wha wha wha you’re using an ad blocker
Also Tumblr : I guess we’ll just ignore that spam report and throw that shit back in your feed every other post ✌️
Ah the mask of the JO falls down all the time. Those announcements to give the impression that L10 was modern are all gone, along with the stickers making everything look new 😆
I put Samy up in his special place on top of the Freebox and on a shelf that is completely inaccessible without my help. Anyways got to remember to check on him because he makes no sounds
That freelancer moment when you look at a quote you’ve lovingly put together, did the maths on, threw in a couple rebates to better adapt to the client, and still be like “how am I so expensive ?”
I should mention in October, so really I just got to freestyle it for another 40ish days until that sweet pay drops and I need to get my current client contract extended. Which reminds me, I have to write the new contract to give to them
After two long ass years, I’m one step closer to getting back to normal (as one can be in late stage capitalism). My CDI starts with the cooperative and my first three months of salary is impressive, then back down to a more normal amount in 2025. I can actually have a social life AND pay bills
Just as a reminder this whole thing cost 5 million plus whatever policing this thing is racking up. Kind of expected a bit more than reruns on the arc de triomphe for that price
I’m not entirely sure where this broadcast is going, it seems like a cacophony of ideas thrown together at the last second. Could have really just been a Fort Boyard special instead
My logo posts hit Threads and now I’m swimming in offers. 1) don’t try and sell me shit in my DMs 2) when I get a graphic designer it’s going to be somebody from my coop who’s going to be paid a liveable wage for the work they perform and not pennies for poverty rates
Also, listen if anybody at france.tv is reading this, just pick up the phone and call the BBC. Honestly, I don’t know how you people can’t do live broadcasts right
Who the fuck is this guy, a fucking VO, my dude, you have a 20% approval rate probably less now. We only got you because the other option was Le Pen. Man just is not in the same timezone as the rest of us
