    Personal Problems...

    I didn't want to share this when it happened, for a lot of reasons. Some of the reasons are related to divorcing my online persona from the real-world me. A somewhat larger part would be what you;d call tough-guy bullshit

    I had the Widowmaker heart attack more-or-less two years ago.

    Remember the Silly Idea with Earthside Horses Becoming Intelligent?

    So, I had a silly idea involving a First Contact where Fluttershy talked Twilight into casting a spell to make our equines sapient. Someone else apparently remembered an old-school SF story about a London tailor commissioned to create proper dress for an equinoid alien, and had fun with it...

    Engineering vs. Management (or, "The Balloon Story")

    A fellow rented a hot air balloon for the morning. He's having a wonderful time, drifting around, enjoying the beautiful scenery and the gentle spring weather, when the wind dies down, and he realizes that he's lost. He sees a guy walking across a field below, so he eases down into a hover and calls out to him.

    From the Silly Ideas Bin (but only barely gelled)

    So, we know that Sunset Shimmer, in canon, jumped through the mirror into the Equestrian Girls universe, set herself up as Queen Bee in Canterlot High's social hierarchy, et cetera, et cetera... And fandom gets rather lurid about how she got there (let's NOT go through the recitations of blackmail, extortion, and sexual favors surrounding that, mmmkay?)

    A Tall Tale, Half-Remembered

    Apparently, I've reached the age where one starts indulging in nostalgia. This particular reminiscence was sparked by Pineta's short, "This Is How a Unicorn Talks", wherein Izzy, Sunny, Zipp, and Hitch must defend a high-energy particle accelerator project. (BTW,

Inarticulate · 7:39am Jun 3rd, 2020

Current events leave me at a loss on how to express myself.

For starters, my hatred and contempt for badge-heavy assholes goes back to my rookie year, when I had the displeasure of cleaning up after one of them screwed up a situation. (And, be it admitted, it's terrifying to look back and see how easily I could have been corrupted into a badge-heavy asshole if I hadn't had that object lesson.)

At the same time, I'm infuriated by the turds-with-a-cause that are infiltrating the righteous protests and striking the match. You know that trick - when the first brick gets thrown, it's no longer a peaceful protest, but an unlawful assembly, and everyone there is bought 'n' paid for, so some turd plays "Let's you and them fight" and throws a brick. I can't think of a phrase obscene enough to describe the turds who bought pallets of bricks and conveniently left them for the other turds to pick up and throw.

I'm also bitterly disappointed by the morons who broke the DBAFI rule, then try to blame anyone else for it but themselves. Dudes, if you didn't cause it, and you couldn't stop it, it's not your responsibility. But, what YOU choose to do? That IS your responsibility, so suck it up and take the consequences like an adult.

I've given up on the stupidity coming from political offices at ALL levels, no matter the party affiliation. It's like the one side is represented by a damnfool jackass, and the other side thinks that if they put up an even MORE foolish and asinine damned fool jackass, they'll win this November....

Query: am I that guy who outwardly appears normal, but is unconsciously insane? I look around and everyone - damn near everyone - looks like they're two tacos short of a combination plate, but is it what I'm seeing, or is it just that "It isn't everyone else that's gone nuts, bro..."? I can't tell if I'm seeing it for what it is, or if I'm delusional, or if I'm getting gaslighted by both the PTB and the Opposition at the same time.

I don't quite know how to say what's truly on my mind. Some folks aren't going to like it when I do....
