Having most of the year off for festivals and holy days
I’m just this guy, you know. Except on Lemmy.

We also do it to ourselves. Everyone has someone in their life they’d rather mute. But they’re forced to coexist with them. Online is so appealing because you can find communities of like minded individuals. Then forget all about those other opinions you don’t like.
Groups with just things we agree with wouldn’t explain it. What happens is we go into groups of people we agree with and then post memes about the other side that everyone agrees with. We get a caricature of the opposition that is reinforced.
As evidence, just look how much news about Trump gets posted to liberal places. If you don’t want to hear about him that’s the last place you should go.
For nostalgia’s sake I watched a YouTube video of [adult swim] complete with original commercials and bumpers. Even though I specifically requested commercials they were pretty terrible and I ended up skipping them anyway.
To paraphrase Scott Manley; they got the rocket science down but need to work on their bolt science

They aren’t as efficient at generating rent due to their maintenance and upkeep costs, so real estate holdings firms are hell bent on liquidating them, subdividing them, and redeveloping the land piecemeal in ways that better optimize for fine access control and not having to take care of any “dead” non-money-making spaces such as the concourses between the stores. Instead: just parking lots between store fronts.
This is what happened near me. The malls got turned inside out, so it’s just big boxes around a giant parking lot.
I’ve given up on anything happening in the books ever again.
Join city council meetings
That sounds terrible.
The good news: We have some small modicum of control.
The bad news: Control involves pain, disappointment, frustration, anger, and a whole bunch of mental anguish that people who don’t pay attention to politics don’t have to deal with.
I’d show the fundies a plucked chicken and assert its personhood but I don’t think they’d get the joke.
Prigozhin’s was pretty terrible
Found John Oliver’s fediverse account
If my kid spiked their hair and started living in a collective and spending their days doing direct action and mutual aid I’d be so fucking proud.
Oh man a version of Wolverines set in a city where punks fight the Russians would be awesome
In my head it’s Dr. Frank-N-Furter
There are designs for a giant glass cone put in the middle of the desert. Air under the cone gets warmed and it rises up through a couple turbines on its way out of the device.
Meanwhile in Georgia (USA) they completed a new nuclear power plant and they have to raise rates because it went 100% over its $14 billion budget.
One must be always drunk, that’s all that matters.
But what with?
With wine, with poetry, or with virtue, as you choose.
But get drunk.
Never buy the brand new model of anything. Computer, car, dishwasher, blender; they all have teething problems that are solved in later versions. Hell, in enterprise IT it’s common to be several major versions back and to pay for security patches rather than keep up with the latest and greatest.
One of my favorite pastries is a maple-bacon long john. It’s a long donut with maple icing and a slice of candied bacon on top.
Don’t threaten me with a good time
