If you're like me and like to just hit your PC power button and logon to a nice, clean, unbusy desktop like the good ol' days, then this tutorial is for you. Over time, some software developers (this is Windows. I will never call them "apps") got it into their heads that they wanted to take the "personal" out of our personal computers, and make everyone have their obnoxious program glaring in our faces from the start. Spotify is one of them, but follow these steps and it will no more. First, download and install Spotify. Next, open Spotify, click your profile pic on the top right > Settings > Startup and window behavior Beside "Open Spotify automatically after you log into the computer" it should be already set to "Minimized. If so, leave it there. If not, then change it to it. Beside "Close button should minimize the Spotify window", toggle it to "on" Close Spotify using the "X" button on the top right Next, open Notepad (or whatever text editor you use) and copy and paste in the below code: @echo offpowershell -Command "Get-Process spotify | Where-Object {$_.MainWindowTitle -ne ''} | ForEach-Object { $_.CloseMainWindow() }" Click File, Save As, and click the the "Save as type" box at the bottom of the window and select "All Files (.) In the File name box, type in CloseSpotify.bat and click Save. Sidenote: Be sure you save the file somewhere you won't accidentally delete it Next, open Windows Task Scheduler by pressing Windows+R and in the field type in taskschd.msc Press Enter or click OK Windows Task Scheduler will open On the far right side, under Actions, click "Create Basic Task" In the Name field, type in "Close Spotify". You can leave Description blank. Click Next For "When you do want the task to start", select "When I log on". Click Next For "What action do you want the task to perform?", select "Start a program". Click Next For "Program/script", click the Browse button and navigate to wheverever you saved the CloseSpotify.bat file. Select it and click Open. Click Next On the Summary page, click the box beside "Open the Properties dialog for this task when I click Finish" If you did everything correctly, you'll be presented wit ha Summary screen that looks something like this: Click Finish and you'll get a new screen. Click the box beside "Run with highest privileges" to enable it Next, click the Triggers tab Click Edit at the bottom Put a check beside "Delay task for" and select "30 seconds". Click OK. Click OK again on the next screen.Sidenote: I chose "Any user" as a personal preference. You don't have to. Your batch file should be all set and you can close the Task Scheduler. Now, everytime you log on to Windows, Spotify will open in the system tray only and not minimized. Restart your computer to make sure it all works. Enjoy! 🦉 Read the full article

NY ComicCon

Today I enjoyed my first ComicCon at the Javits Center in Manhattan. The cosplayers were amazing, but my favorite was seeing all the art because it was very nostalgic. I hadn't thought of many of the characters since I was a kid, so when I saw Mrs. Frisby & the Rats of NIMH, I got a bit teary-eyed. I've got a ton of pictures and video, but it's late so I'll work on posting them tomorrow. But for now, here's a few, starting with artwork from Mrs. Frisby & the Rats of NIMH (picture of the mouse with the owl on the top center). The illustrator is below it. Read the full article

People Eaters

I've never watched YouTube much, but for the last few weeks I have, and learned there are people who eat people. Not eating in the sense of a cannibal, but there are people who practice the occult and eat other peoples' souls and sadly, a lot of those kinds of people are our own (Black) people. Sean Combs (Diddy) being one of them. I am not into conspiracy theories, but I try to keep an open mind. And as I watched YouTube, I came to the revelation that our society is much darker than one can fathom and that all of it is intentional. The majority of us live in a bubble, where we are safe from the darker ills of the earth, but without protection or someone having our backs, your chances of falling into the Dark increases where one could find themselves being trafficked, pimped, or fall into a life of addiction or even gangs. Once those situations become your reality, then you can't escape. "They" won't allow you to escape. If you don't have someone to protect you, then you become the prey. Living in the New York, I am sitting in the belly of the beast, so I know first hand how people prey on others and nobody does anything; they just keep walking because they don't want to make your problem, their problem which is understandable. And I'm not talking about preying on others like taking their things, I mean preying as in kidnapping or some way to own that person's body. And the thing here is no one will save you, not even the police. My friend once reported a woman who he believed was trafficking children, and the cops did nothing. It was at that moment that I realized that we are all on our own, vulernable, and there's no one to really protect us, not even the children, because the adults don't want to be bothered. The people eater could be a relative, a spouse, aunt or uncle who lives right in the house with you just standing by to do their worst when no one is looking. It's also celebrities and those wo work with them creating secret societies where they disappear people so they can eat them. No one seems to be making a big fuss about the occult statue that has been making its rounds across the United States. While I'm not afraid of a block of stone, the problem lies in what it represents and how people begin to act around it. The most disturbing thing about it however, are the children at its feet where one is clearly a Black little boy. I believe there are secret societies that kidnap and traffick children and for the rest of us, they put satanic imagery in the music and videos for the basic people in society, who stupidly mimic it. I guess I said all that to say, the agenda to promote homosexuality and hypersexuality in general, may seem innocent now, but I believe there's an agenda to make the United States just a hedonistic society. It's not about being homosexual or bi-sexual, and definitely not about love, but is about just having sex with anyone and anything. The erosion of a moral center. I mean look at American society now with so many people sad about everything and complaining. the cynicism of American socieoty is growing, so one could argue the move toward selfish pleasuers in anything, is what people may easily fall back on, and not strive to do anything. We're fucked. Literally. Read the full article

Dr. Seuss

I was today years old when I learned what Dr. Seuss looked like. I read a lot of his books as a kid, but it never crossed my mind to find out what he looked like. It's just not a thing a 7 year old thinks about. When you're a kid with a wild imagination, and lost between the pages of a book, you don't even know a person wrote it. Read the full article

Jumpers

A woman was decapitated as she jumped from her balcony. This is the 2nd jumper in 24 hours. When people start jumping, it could be a sign that well-off people are going broke or becoming depressed. nypost.com/2024/10/12/us-news/elderly-woman-decapitated-as-she-plunged-to-her-death-in-nyc/ Read the full article

Boring Day

Nothing of interest happened today. I ran to Micro Center to get a new router and then the boyfriend came home with some Funko Pops. My new ones are Winnie the Pooh and Grogu. My all time favorite though he got me months ago is Elliot Alderson from Mr. Robot (bottom right not in the box). My second favorites are Harley Quinn and The Joker in the red boxes.

The Hardest Thing About Being An Introvert

The hardest thing about being an introvert is the difficulty with helping people emotionally. Because of our disdain for being around people, we try to learn everything we can, so we don't have to ask anyone for help. This also gives the illusion that we are intelligent, because we seem to be able to do everything, but trust me, not all of us are smart! Naturally, as a result, this leads to us becoming extremely independent and this self-sovereignty not only affects physical situations, but also emotional ones. We become very good at just doing what needs to be done with no complaining, "sucking it up" and "pulling ourselves up by the bootstraps" because we don't want other peoples' company. It's not that we don't like you, it's just that we feel most comfortable recharging our mental battery alone, which for me entails, watching a horror movie, playing video games, browsing the internet, listening to classical music with a mug of hot cocoa, or just sitting in silence. One of the unfortunate sides of being hyper-independent is that being that people see you as smart (which may or may not be true and is irrelevant really), you become a magnet as the voice of reason. People will come to you for advice because they presume you are level-headed and will give them good advice. However, we have become so independent, that things that others would perceive as difficult, becomes relatively easy for us. People coming to cry on our shoulder generates a feeling of annoyance because we can't relate to how the person can't figure it out themselves and that all this emotional fanfare isn't necessary. Yes, it does sound cold, but we are actually also very empathetic to peoples' feelings and want to help, it's just that the process is very emotionally draining to us. We don't see ourselves as exceptional, in fact, many of us think we're really mediocre and boring, but we think of ourselves being like anyone else. We have already figured out the many ways we would resolve the issue, so it bewilders us why the person can't figure it out themselves, despite having a capable brain just like us. So instead, you might get a seeming direct, cold and steely answer which could be perceived as off-putting and we can't do any better in that moment because acting soft is out of our character and one thing we are not is disingenuous, especially to ourselves. But no worries. We are very thoughtful people who are aware of your perceptions, so then we spend the next 2 days, ruminating about how we could've sounded more nicer to you and will do better next time. 🦉 Read the full article

Gorgeous In the Bronx Today

Today was really nice out in the Bronx. It was officially cool (lower 60s), but there wasn't a cloud in the sky. I had only went to Checkers to grab a burger and felt like staying out, but everyone must've had the same idea, because the Hub was crowded. Actually saw a couple people even wearing bubble coats, but it was cool enough for a light jacket or hoodie. This summer stayed in the 90s with matching humidity, so I didn't get a chance to enjoy it at all. I was over it, but it's supposed to drop into the 40s tonight and I'm all ready for it.

Absolutely Nothing Happened

If nothing were a day, today was it. Besides watching the world blow up (literally), my new set of #Vooglam #glasses arriving today was the height of my day. I got 8 pair for only $270 and yes they’re prescription. My favorite pair are definitely the pink ones hands down. #journal
