That seems like a more reasonable number, I made the mistake of trying to do it by volume and fucked up a conversion somewhere.

Can someone check my maths on this cause I knew this was stupid, but would it really take something like 1.6 million trucks to offload a Suezmax tanker? Did I skip a decimal?

As stupid as this is I think it's a pretty good way for a lay person to look at the challenges of logistics at scale.

Oh that's rad as fuck!

Lazy dog feared drowned.

Say it again: Smut, porn and sex workers are the canaries down the coal mine of censorship and you need to stand up for them now.

However you feel about pornography the people who make it are artists and deserve to be able to express themselves in their medium the same as the rest of us.

A little too colourful for me.

There's a multidimensional sickness which feeds on dramatic tension called protagonitis. Symptoms include allies following you for no fucking reason, nemesis accretion and in terminal cases; dramatic sacrifice.

Here's a hero's journey, follow the instructions and call me if you survive til morning.

Out of sorts and sleeping poorly, and the temperature has dipped so it's time to sit in bed with my laptop and see if I can't do some writing... Maybe.

A scene from the Titanic where the boat sinks and the orchestra keeps playing. Over the sinking ship, it says "fascism" and over the band it says "smut artists"

FYI to you purist cunts: It won't stop with smut.

It is, but not in the circles we travel in which, to be fair, has a large number of trans lesbians.

The sky above the port was blue.

Most accurate portrait of modern culture currently available

Rolling up to the new Evangelion show as English VA casting director and insisting on Jeffrey Combs as Rei Ayanami for the bit.

Maybe, not a bad idea.

I dunno, I give trial coverage can leave me feeling a little angry; depending on the case.

At a bit of a loss with what to do now.

Brain is too frazzled for writing, no games are really appealing and if I watch another episode of Star Trek Discovery I might keel over.

That's great to hear, well done

Watching an episode of Star Trek Discovery to see a dedication to someone with the same name as me, who died the year I almost did, is just a coincidence.

But I still feel really weird about it.

I watched a Noodle video on Marathon and Bungie make excellent feeling, mechanically deep, aesthetically distinctive shooters with good music. I'm not surprised this is good.

I have to keep reminding myself the issues with the game are to do with Bungie itself and that's why I'm not playing it.

Really had fun with this.

Text from a Rascal article by Chase Carter on 'Into the Oddish' by W.F. Smith which quotes Smith saying: “The law isn’t some objective system of rules that unerringly moves in favor of the party with the best claim,” Smith said. “The reality is that I am a hobbyist making a book for fun (and to communicate my message/commentary on the properties involved) and if a major, litigious corporation, be it Nintendo or WotC (or Chris McDowall [Into the Odd’s author]), want to duke it out, the side with the army of lawyers (i.e., not me) will win the day. So, you can ask lawyers whether my fair-use claim is meritorious, but in the end the answer is irrelevant to the realities of power, which is the only thing the law actually enacts and protects, at the end of the day.”

W.F. Smith talking with Rascal about Into the Oddish and concept of free use is entirely correct.

Today I am supposed to be going for a walk, which I am not entirely sure I am up for.

I am also trying to break the back of this bloody Garvel storym which involves hacking it down to the bare essentials and redrafting it.
