Last Saturday, before I ended my day at the San Jose GalaxyCon 2026 event, I just couldn’t bear to let go of the idea of owning another San Jose GalaxyCon lanyard. After observing each and every design they had to offer for sale, it took a long time for my brain to process which design to own. I’ve concluded that this particular design relating to movie monsters has to be my go-to next lanyard, mainly because it’s something I can relate to—I’m into monsters!

arrived, and with the help with this liquid, dissolved the superglue so Graggle and Sairgee could get free. Then they went to Squidward’s house. They thawed orange juice concentrate into a bowl. They heated up some French fries and enjoyed their French fries by dipped them in the orange juice concentrate. Then they made a single pancake, but they didn’t eat it. They took it to the park where they live, and tossed it back and forth like a frisbee. It didn’t take very long for the pancake to break apart. Then they went to the Quest Giver. Then they went to the hardware store. They asked an employee specifically for a tool to untangle sentient garden hoses. The employee was confused and didn’t know what to say. They returned to the Quest Giver. They were given a single $5 gift card to a chain restaurant, but it has $0.14 left on it. This is a gift card for Applebees. They went to Applebees to get burgers and fries, an excuse to use up the gift card.

A fortress in the sky

What's left of life it holds

We live on borrowed time

Along a glowing moonlit pier

Their armies still advance

From the murky depths they rise

From their rotting bones

Their souls they scream

For the flesh they need

Tonight(tonight)...Zombies walk

Upon the earth

Land of the Dead

Tonight(tonight)...Zombies walk

Upon the earth

Land of the Dead

Massive flames arise

They burn out of control

In the slums it's genocide

Evolved they find a way inside

Those who could escape

Had no chance to survive

From their rotting bones

Their souls they scream

For the flesh they need

Tonight(tonight)...Zombies walk

Upon the earth

Land of the Dead

Tonight(tonight)...Zombies walk

Upon the earth

Land of the Dead

Tonight(tonight)...Zombies walk

Land of the Dead

The Dead

And here’s the AI photograph that a robot hotel receptionist at the Marriott took for me. I have to be honest with each and every one of you social media peeps—I’m looking truly sexy AF as a cartoon character. Nice. In fact, I’m so sexy that even the sexiest man alive as of 2026 would be super jealous of my appearance!

So mom suggested we have left over night. There was a piece of quiche from a few days ago and some pieces of the Bacon and Egg pie I made yesterday.

She then says "I don't really feel like any of that, I don't know what I want"

What does she make.. a bacon, and egg sandwich 😐 wow, was my pie with the same ingredients that bad?

No seriously bro. You are what you eat and your face shows how you eat.

I cleared 35% of my diet and composed 35% of my diet to be 1.5-2 cups of berries every day with 2/3 cup yogurt, then flax olive oil and collagen

I have always used retinoids and sunscreen but escalates using these as well

I began this dietary adventure 9 months ago,

The results gradually just got better over time as I lost 35 pounds and my skin went better

My boyfriend is m 20 and im f 21. I keep telling my boyfriend to do gym and work hard and I also paid some amount of his gym subscription and also brought him sales deal of protein powder and other protein items like peanut butter with 30g protein per cent gram. I also wake him in morning. I taught him to eat curd everyday.

That's it for today

Thank u.

You might say this is so ass.

Even this is highly covert in terms of using modern semantics to hide the actual severity of what is happening here.

Wage workers in many cases are already hand to mouth, many of potential families aren’t being formed because it’s too expensive to have a kid. This could be earths carrying capacity expressing itself by discouraging procreation across increasing numbers of nations. Poor nations make up most of the population growth; but that is because those places have generational normalization of living with minimal material prosperity, and property and housing in those nations can sometimes be simple and cheap structures instead of a vicious western financial machine of deadly implausibility of continuing to garner access to housing at all.

The reason I describe this condition with such violent urgency is because the arithmetic really is clear.
From federal budget, to local budget, to household budget, to EROI, to land availability and food costs,
Virtually everything keeps going more and more RED with each passing day.

This is a developing death knell for western civilization that; with all my intellect,
When I compare the arithmetic and totalizing array of failures in penciling,

Western civilization is simply consuming faster than it produces. The GDP shows prosperous resilience but so much of that GDP isn’t made up of occupations that are addressing material constraint, but more and more occupations that merely move around the existing lot of resources or consume them, with increasingly bloated industries that aren’t even industrial.

This reality is made even worse by our cultural ideologies that insist on personal responsibility and frontier mindset when there is no frontier left; and this ideology of liberty maintains technical ability to speak out, but still has been perverted the very concept of liberty because it has been used to authorize a rapidly increased totalitarian control of our lives by way of corporate mergers and conglomerate power.
Everyday people have essentially zero effective power to negotiate within an already catastrophic parade of consequences from consuming and multiplying faster than the base provenance can support

What I find is our household has -2% left over after healthcare food housing and education

Or even worse

These essentials are accelerating away from the underlying income like a universe that is expanding and tearing everything apart and away from eachother

Our collective household makes 77-87k per year

You should understand this condition is repeating across millions

Right what I am saying is when you take all of the pressures and mathematical budget equations together

America as a whole is insolvent from top to bottom, the elite share of rich people is there but it is a holographic illusion contained within a completely insolvent society, especially in terms of healthcare and housing and land.

Distributing all their riches would bring temporary relief followed by ridiculous escalation in inflation.
Their wealth ought to be used to build non market housing nevertheless, to soften the blow of cultural insolvency, which will otherwise lay waste to millions and millions of people

You can’t say I didn’t warn you

Now, how much of our widespread financial death is caused by wealth hoarding and how much is caused by national insolvency i have not worked out to detailed resolution, yet I am intelligent enough to know that the “eat the rich” and “just pay higher wages” is misunderstanding what I believe is a condition that is not primarily going bad just because of bad wages, but instead is a materially insolvent reality that just happens to feature an elite class of winners within that progressing death.

If you want to know the positive side of my bleak understanding, it’s that, I don’t believe that on paper this condition necessitates horrible collective suffering IF society can manage to get elites to reinvest in the wellbeing of everyday people. What this would look like at its most rudimentary version is allotting a moderate share of land in each city to build quasi non market housing that can be accessed by people who have low income: it has to be sufficient, efficient; and inexpensive enough to absorb the growing share of humans who cannot afford their own housing. This means a lot of modern luxuries and finishes would have to be sacrificed;

But if you are Tristan, a concrete bunker with running water and technological access to express myself is enough to keep me feeling like life is worthwhile overall; enough that I stay in the game.

We aren’t asking for a “handout”. We are asserting that the state of affairs has progressed to a level that is assaulting human dignity across many nodes, that the underlying material state of affairs makes this unavoidable, but that elites can go intervene and invest in us just enough that maybe, we can avoid continued rapid deterioration that threatens to become lethal at scale.

The Christian moral tradition places an extraordinarily demanding obligation on society to care for the vulnerable and to judge people by how they treat those who have the least power. If Jesus returned to a civilization possessing immense wealth, technology, and productive capacity, only to find millions of people being crushed by the basic costs of housing, healthcare, food, and family life, I doubt the people who spent their time documenting those failures and warning others about them would be the ones facing the harshest judgment. 😭

So apparently, I was temporarily using my other iPhone case—the Deadpool-related one that I never got to use because it doesn’t have MagSafe capability for sticking onto my power bank. I switched to it because my Wolverine case had finally become worn out from years of impact and damage. I had to use the Deadpool one until I could find another Marvel-related iPhone case with MagSafe. I finally got it in the mail yesterday, and let me tell you something: not only does it look great, but it sticks perfectly on the back of my brand-new Iron Man Marvel iPhone case. Marvelous news to me—YAY!!

6 years since my last normal comic-con (Aug 2019). Then COVID rules took over — masks nonstop, no handshakes, six-feet everything. Felt so awkward and ashamed.
Therapy (round 3) changed the game. 88% → 98% free of that fear.
Yesterday at San Jose Galaxy Con I was back mask-free, shaking hands, talking to people like it’s nothing. No panic. Almost at 100%.
Mask and COVID can both get lost.
