[EDIT September 25, 2026: I changed this from a micro post to just a post, and I also edited typos since I did this my phone.] I don’t know who this grody person is, what they’re referring to, or whether they’re right or wrong because I do not care. This post isn’t a post of support or some moral call out. Dude sounds like an idiot. All I care about is the second post. ”Why do people like this think that these super villain speeches make them look…
When I was around 8 or 9 years old my best friend’s name was Tyler. Tyler would sometimes go on about how when two men fight, they have to fight “honorably.” At least, that’s what he called it, and I knew it came from his dad, Bill, because he told me that’s what his father would tell him. I would just shake my head and, frankly, balk at the whole idea, calling it “stupid,” which, you can imagine, didn’t really sit well with Tyler, but hey, that’s how…
One of the biggest problems towards justice is that very few people these days, if ever, are willing to let the world be fair. And of those individuals, the reason for doing so must always be argued. It’s an extra proposition, something someone must accept outside of themselves, it’s always a reason that ultimately has nothing to do with them. Without the proposal, there’s nothing. And that’s where you find me. I make no case, I float no argument outside of yourself, I appeal to very little in…

I quote from My BlueSky Archive: Ya could’a just asked. But you can’t. And now I have thousands of records of evidence.
Author: Asher Wolfstein Published under the auspices of the University of Neo-Transylvania Experimental Research This is Part 4 of hopefully 18 of a series titled Failed Abstractions: Interfaces Gone Wild. Parsing is usually introduced as a tidy recognition solution: given an input and a grammar, the parser must decide whether the input belongs to the language described by the grammar. Simple enough. And if it does, the parser builds a syntactic structure that the rest of the system ‘downstream’ employs. That summary is semi-useful. It serves as a…
I’ve been moving blocks around in the WordPress Block Editor List View panel, and it sucks fucking hardcore. I don’t know who decided that the list needed to scroll based on how far the pointer was from the placement of the block, but dragging my mouse up and then down (or vice-versa), trying to nail the ‘smooth and intuitive’ (I’m sure) feature got to me so bad I finally developed a Must-Use plugin that fixes it.
Using this (drop the files as shown in the filenames into your WordPress installation’s mu-plugins directory) the List View panel in the (Gutenberg) Block Editor will behave like any other list view on your computer (hopefully) and only scroll near the top and bottom of the list.
NOTE: Some images are currently missing, but not gone. And that endangerment is what I meant when I said that Liana’s over-the-top certainty over who I am, what I do, and why, are hurting me. They’re not hurting my precious feelings, they are hurting my credibility and placing me in further imminent danger as the person I believe is behind all of those messages is closing in during all the triangulated chaos that’s now ensued. My Safety I wanted my last post to be my last post, but…
Welcome to Asher’s near-daily ramble. Today, we’re not making any mistakes about my philosophy or its rigor. Neither sudden course alterations, changes of heart, nor hateful obsessions have colored my moral vision. It has been the same for 30 years, only further refined. And this is what it has always sounded like, to the chagrin of many: The victimization stance and refusal to take responsibility are neither indications of depth nor indications of suffering, but they are certainly a form of avoidance. Justice is looking at reality for…
This is an Asher ramble. It is rambling. I type weird sentences, often Germanically arranged (in the inverse), because in posts like these, I type how I talk. This is how I talk. Ask Maus! This is me just, typing, off the top of my head. That’s why I can write it so freakin’ fast (everything posted today was freshly written by me today). I wrote earlier that I can type as fast as I can talk (or put words together), and it shows. Moving Forward I just…
