dhuartson: Don't let anyone talk you out of spending $15 on a new hobby. That $50 will be the best $400 you ever spent.
This is not wrong.
So, aye, just found out that my mother died today.
Maybe my entire outlook on life these days: more people needed to have gotten more feedback more often, and short that, they need more feedback now
Aye. It's lodged in my head now, too.
Oh, man. That hadn't even occurred to me.
I wonder who did the "what if the real mushroom was capitalism the whole time" thing first me, Andrew F. Sullivan or someone older?
This why person is an absolute cunt.
We enjoyed reading your manuscript for the first modern novel. Unfortunately there are too many inconsistencies regarding Sancho Panza and his donkey, and we have reluctantly decided not to publish it at this time. We hope to consider more of your work in the future.
"Hobbling out from the rickety door of the shack, little dog tottering next to her, Anna looked up at the spire. Clouds wandered above." Backed From Wilmore (1834).
I see uncritical support for the IOC's one time only, all or nothing, SRY gene test 'to identify men' platformed today. Fun fact about that. It's entirely possible to test positive after being pregnant with a boy. Fetal DNA can cross the placenta and linger in the maternal bloodstream for decades.
I never cease to be amused by how this app has a community that hates the staff and a staff that hates the community and both sides are completely open about it
this isn’t a retirement home it’s a Waffle House

"The stirrups were there the whole time, looking as they did from behind the curtain. Zach had to imagine something else as he scribbled his name." Often Out of Kinkijous (1995).
So who is going to step up and somehow create a new thing for artists, authors, makers, single traders, indie musicians, all the creatives who lost their platforms? We have an audience, we just got cut off when the social networks went useless. Publisher etc still expect us to do marketing. HOW?!
“A dark, transgressive fairy tale that weaponises feminine rage, Hex House is a stunning, unforgettable debut about what women become when the world offers no safe harbour.”

It will never stop being odd to me how many 'libertarians' support involuntary work, and even with technology capable of automating work, they still insist on keeping work involuntary because otherwise people would have the LIBERTY to choose to toil less… IN A SOCIETY WITH LESS NEED FOR HUMAN TOIL."

I'm really glad that Palantir's mask off evil is finally getting wider play, but I sigh when folks start saying "THEY'RE ALL OVER THE NHS!'
Because my cousin and his colleagues have been trying to warn both the public & Westminster for OVER a decade about these bastards. Have a 🧵
It's the one where he reviews all of series two of The Beast Games.
I love the thumbnail for the unlisted companion video to this.
“He’s furious with the state? Well, bad luck,” one ex-colleague of Starmer’s said. “You are in fact in charge of the state.”
Damning stuff. A failure on multiple fronts. A fish, of course, rots from the head down.

Every day I feel more vindicated for nuking my Facebook account, and have nothing to do with any Meta products.
