This is something out of Idiocracy.
Someone recently observed that it went from "Internet Superhighway" to "Road Closed. Please pay toll ahead." And yeah. The fun is gone and we all have to pay for its loss.
Maybe leave the childish fantasies out of national security policy. We can all come up with dumb What Ifs.
Some Tech CEO every day: "You don't get to own things now. I own your refrigerator. If you say mean things about me I will turn off your fridge and spoil all your dairy and eggs and meat. If you don't like it you go to jail."
People in my mentions: "Lmao are you REALLY a luddite? smh"
Dang. I have to work tonight :/
How has this jackass not been censured?
The enemy is inside the gates.
Universities employed this man in a position with authority over students.
And they are still employing others just like him.
It was in the 80s yesterday. Today we had snow. It was first too hot for flannel, and now too cold for Hawaiian shirts. My wardrobe is perplexed.

Eleven years since you crossed the black sands. I wish I could say that the world is better than you left it (although it will always be better for having had you in it) but at least there is a new Young Sam to help carry on the Pratchett name and ethos. Love you always ❤️
His passing affected more than almost anyone else has in my life. A humble titan of philosophy who related his concepts with so much human compassion you never knew your world was growing larger and better and kinder with his every word, all with humor, wit, and whimsy to boot.

Like the OG Psalmist himself and my namesake.
See... this works. The world is better for it. Now ask me what happens when you dump all your points into Wisdom: the power to see it all coming, but with no other skill to survive it. Cassandra had it easy.
I hope yas have a blast!
After Mom is what I call my best friend's parents or "the mom I got to choose."
Some younger folks may have the troubles understanding this.
As though I didn't need a reason to hate this fartweasel even more. Antithetical to the *concept* of education. Truly despicable.
I think I'm fully in my old man era because outside of a Boston Creme or a cruller, I'd much rather have an Old Fashioned than any other kind of donut. Just a little subtle nutmeg to go with my coffee, not too heavy, not too sweet.
I can't say that I'll be boycotting Chili's as it has been years since I've been in one, and you can't really boycott a restaurant you already don't go to. That said, I'll be happy not to change my habits, transphobia leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
-Robert Frost (1923)
Man.
The world fucking is on fire.
So go be as corny and cringe as you wanna be without hurting people.
Live whats left of your only life.
If you can’t be free in your body at least go be free in your mind and soul.
Fuck the haters.
Rest easy. Be well and enjoy life and this weather!
This resonates. I am finding it harder to pull things out of myself as the world gets darker and worse. There's a reflexive curl inward that takes effort to relax and even then, I'm finding I don't *want* to be introspective. It feels too vulnerable a practice, as though I am not safe to do it.
It's giving me Reinhardt vibes. He has a rocket-powered hammer too.
Tried watching @ricksteves.bsky.social Iran episode and only made it 30 seconds before getting choked up at the sight of darling Iranian school girls.
If only everyone could see their humanity. ❤️🩹 A must watch.

I'm getting tinnitus from all the history that keeps echoing.

Yo, it's ya boi Li/O DV here. Been kicking around this sketch of a girl named Lisa I knew from way back. Wish I still had her number, just something about her. Anyway, tired of seeing it on my wall wondering if anyone would like it. Make me an offer I can't refuse (do people still do that?)
In case anyone was curious, no, you cannot dissociate yourself through the horrors going on around you. Them fuckers are there waiting for you when you come back out. Rude.
