one of the main reasons i hopped on the #fediverse was because of the mass amount of #existentialdread that i was feeling. i’ve been pretty disconnected from #socialmedia for a few years besides work, and i didn’t realize how #radical both sides had become. i think there’s a lot of real issues that we can’t deal with, but at least if the world ends tomorrow, i’ll have a #selfhosted instance of #mastodon and the other fediverse apps for me and my pals!

Oh look, a German loaf of bread with existential dread has been on TV for 25 years—because, clearly, what the world needed was a gluten-infused therapist with a side of sauerkraut. Forget self-help books; just tune into a perpetually miserable carb for life advice.

Ah yes, because nothing screams existential dread louder than turning your life into a #spreadsheet of little boxes. Just in case you weren’t already aware that your life is finite, here’s a handy tool to turn "YOLO" into "YAWN."

Why are no media outlets talking about this executive order that makes Trump king?

Crap, where did I leave my existential dread?

#SelfHelpTip - When you are worried or anxious about work or other problems, remember this and it might give you some perspective:

"A cataclysmic [random] quantum fluctuation could wipe out the Universe at any moment."

Another Day

Today is Wednesday and it is my third consecutive day in the office. The traffic was bad. I want to go home. It’s not even 9:00am yet and I already want to go home. I am going to have a super busy, super stressful work day today. I just don’t feel up to it. Ugh.

As I walked in this morning the guy who sits next to me said good morning. I said good morning in return, but the thought that went through my head was something like good morning apart from the usual soul crushing existential dread. Another day, another walk through the shadow of the valley of emotional wreckage. You know how it is. Of course I exaggerate a little, and I also… ya know… edited my thoughts… like you do.

That lead to another thought. A lyric from a Triumph song. “Another day, another dollar, another pretty face. Another chance to lose yourself in this endless race.” That’s from the song Hold On from the album Just a Game. It’s a good record.

I think I am feeling gloomy for a physical reason. Let me tell you all about it.

When I was a high school brat I had a period where I dealt with some pretty bad acne. Not as bad as some of my classmates, but for a little window of time there it was bad. Bad enough that we asked a doctor about it. They put me on some Retin A (or whatever it was called) and it helped a little. Mostly, just getting through puberty is what resolved the issue. Fast forward to yesterday and I felt like something was in my eye. Weird. My right eye kept getting watery and that would blur my vision just a tiny bit. I thought maybe it was the start of a little conjunctivitis. Yippee for me. This morning I discovered the truth. It’s not pink eye or anything like that. It’s a pimple… on my lower eye lid. No, let me rephrase… it’s a great big muther of a zit and it’s on my lower eye lid. What the hell?

A zit on my eye that is big enough to cause my eye to water a little and I can just about almost see it. Again I ask, what the hell?

So if you’re wondering why I am in a weird funky mood today, that is probably it. Chalk it up to teenage acne coming back for another round of fun in my 50’s and punching me right in the freakin’ eye. Stupid zit. Stupid, stupid zit.

Reposting this shot of a California Bighorn Sheep taken near Pyramid Lake, for no particular reason other than PICK UP THE WINTER ISSUE OF NEVADA MAGAZINE, lol. I might not have placed this year, but I’m still 2 for 2 at getting printed in the annual state photo contest. Focusing on the positives to keep my mind centered today….it was good timing. #nevada #WildlifePhotography #stressposting #ExistentialDread #sweetsweetdistraction

Come see a sketch I wrote about existential dread in pumpkin spice season, some jokes I wrote and more in This Week This Week tonight in LA. It's like the news but funny. Cast and details in last image.

Tix at the door.

How did Edvard Munch create his self-proclaimed “soul painting,” "The Scream?" Kelly Scanlon writes for Far Out magazine about the origin of the artwork, and its place in the symbolic art movement.

Chairs that spark existential dread?!
Got any theories about the game’s lore? Let us know! https://youtube.com/shorts/s8qY-Z88xzc

Do you ever worry that we’ll glass our planet so badly, the only trace of us that will be left is what we’ve already sent into space?

Me too.

I would love to spend my days where my biggest worry is if my Blender render is good enough.
