Started Retatrutide on Thursday evening, and I've hardly eaten anything since, so I guess I can see how this stuff works. Had a few bites of Larb Gai on Friday, and I've been regretting it since.

Just heard "The Middle" by Jimmy Eats World for the first time in a while, and actually listened to the lyrics, and it kind of touched me emotionally. Funny how many times I've heard that song but never really listened to it.

Thinking about the average age of Millennials and realizing that there's definitely at least one person who once drew pics of their sparkledog fursona with Linkin Park lyrics leading a corporate board room right now.

Discussion: If "Western Civilization" can be said to exist, does it really begin with Ancient Greece, or is it the descendant of older Near-Eastern civilizations, and include Islamic, Persian, etc cultural lineages?

A scribble for fun - I wanted to use their exact shades of grey to find colours! I feel like Steve might stick with the mysterious dark greys aside from his accessories, but for the sake of this I wanted to not choose greys, haha. #SteveBandel #JackPepper #MOUSEPIForHire

Just started Das Kapital, and Marx's conjectures on the inability of Aristotle to reconcile human labor as interchangeable due to Ancient Greece's economic dependency on slavery made me think of how non-human labor, itself a form of slavery, is similarly discounted from calculations of labor value.

How do you square the labor-value of a draft horse with the use-value of wheat from a field it plowed? This question was once similarly puzzling concerning the use-value of cotton picked by enslaved men, women, and children.
