"Some people just need killin.'"

Overheard today from a *devout christian* colleague discussing the #WarCriminal #Venezuela "drug boat" killings.

#JesusWept ...

He'll hear my opinion on the matter as soon as a maximum embarrassment opportunity raises it's head.

I know why I missed this; I was wholly focused on my imminent face rearrangement in July and had zero cycles to keep track of the news,

but WHAT THE UNHOLY FUCK

Good news! It’s systemd!

Quitting #Netflix and #Spotify this month and finding #qobuz has helped me realize there are choices out there. You dont have to settle for the enshittification, you can find good options. Now if I can find a good alternative for Netflix.

I quit Spotify in October. I wanted to go with Qobuz but had to go with Tidal in the end, due to the costs. I know Qubuz had some better bits here and there, but the difference in payment was just a bit too much, unfortunately.
Maybe, some day, I can switch to it as well... But for now, I'm just glad to be free from Spotify... 😊

Summer and I were watching the Detroit Lions game we missed last Thursday because we don't have an Amazon Prime membership anymore. At least I thought we were watching the game together until I heard her light snoring.
She can keep me warm while I multitask. Folding a mountain of clean clothes while I watch the Lions win. She will be sad that she missed this game.

just read a news outlet titling itself independent journalism and or maybe because it's not using a.i., and now I think maybe that becomes a flavour of future information streams, h.i. (*only) (*or classic)

Capitalists have gone from profit-seekers to rent-seekers, largely or completely divorced from material production using the levers of politcal power to extract such rents

Here's an idea: Any Democrat who wants to be taken seriously as a presidential candidate in 2028 must pledge to rip this cabal of anti-democracy tech fascists out of our government. Anyone who won't make that pledge is for the billionaires, not the people. This must be a deal-breaking litmus test.

The 1903 painting Echo and Narcissus by John William Waterhouse. It depicts the two characters in the pre-Raphaelite style sitting on either side of a central winding stream while surrounded by grassy meadows and woodlands. To the left is Echo, looking longingly and despairing over at Narcissus on the other side of the pool. She is seated beneath a tree wearing a pink robe and a red poppy in her hair, and yellow flag irises grow at her feet. To the right Narcissus is lying sprawled on the ground looking down enraptured at his own reflection in the water while completely ignoring Echo. He is wearing a red robe and a laurel crown while small white daffodils sprout at his feet. Between them in the water there are yellow water lilies growing.

Europa moet grote stappen zetten als het een dam wil opwerpen tegen de oorlogsdreiging van Rusland en niet vermalen wil worden tussen de Verenigde Staten en China.

Europa is verdeeld in alles, dat is jammer. Wat het ene land bewerkstelligd breekt het andere land weer af.

Je suis extrêmement inquiète pour le Liban (Mais je suis inquiète de nature). Quand je vivais au Liban (de 2015 à 2020), il y a avait toutes les deux semaines des annonces d'une probable prochaine guerre. Il n'y en a pas eu pendant 5 ans. Fallait s'accrocher pour ne pas partir en courant du pays, toutes les deux semaines (pour quelqu'un.e comme moi.). Même si j'aurai peut être dû partir. (Vu comment ça s'est terminé pour moi). Bref. Je vous raconte ma vie.
