I have two really good issues of Swords Broken in the works. One is essay-length hemming and hawing on extremely complex garbage created by a legendary asshole who's currently dying, and the other is just a tiny but impressive sword move idea from an underwhelming film about chess from 63 years ago.

Absolutely unconscionable that my blog has had post about a 2016 Austin Butler elf tv show sitting at the top of the main page for over four months

Shellig hits a certain Rutabaga Stories note for me. Like after the first couple pages of Shellig I'm somehow proud of him.

push notifications give me heartburn anyway, but now you have a really good reason to turn that shit off. for all your apps!!!

Basically you have to understand that you’re here as a sort of parasite on someone else’s grift where they make vcs pay for their hobby. You’re black mold in the wall of an adult daycare. Embrace it but know it is transient.

This is so, so well-articulated.

🚨 Remember the horrible law I posted about last week, to require age verification to use smart phones, or Linux? The Illinois legislature rescheduled hearings, & added more. We all now need to fill out 4 forms as "Opposed", all over. Please do so ASAP, by Thursday. Instructions below. Pass this on.

I believe you submit the slip and then separately submit written testimony as a PDF in an email to the relevant committee, in this case the civil Judiciary committee, per the instructions linked in the reddit post above.

Attention to people living in Illinois, Chicago: you have until Thursday to register a formal message to the state legislature that requiring age verification to install Linux is a horrible idea. This doesn't require writing anything, just filling out a form. Click through this quoted post:

"The march is now over, please disperse and go home"

In movements like this, which have no need for authority or even leadership, I would be extremely wary of anyone who calls themselves a leader and then ends the movement.
