That drummer! She’s amazing.

An adversary could cripple the entire US economy and most of the world economy by bombing 10 datacenters in various places in the United States.

Talk about concentrated risk.

What exactly is the lib obsession with stuffing us all in pods and getting us all to eat bugs? That’s a bit odd, yeah?

I hate the Covidians but I also feel incredibly sad for them. They are trapped in a time loop of their own creation, like the people who reminisce constantly about the 1950s. Many like one Twitter user I read and formerly liked will never or rarely leave their homes again.

Covid infected a lot of people mentally even if they never actually caught the virus. It has been such a strange thing to witness.

given the time, honestly, the few female characters that do appear in Tolkien are done pretty well?

— Faine Greenwood (@faineg) December 3, 2022

Agreed. One of the main reasons I wish there were more female characters in LOTR was because Tolkien wrote women very well indeed, and understood the bind in which they were caught in a patriarchal society. Éowyn is by far his best-written character, with the most comprehensible motivations.

No, I won’t eat bugs, I won’t store my photos in your fucking cloud, I won’t put my documents there either, I won’t scan my face to unlock my goddamn phone and I for sure won’t live in your fucking pod.

If it’s not already abundantly clear, what all the bug-eating crapola is about is preserving access to meat for wealthy people. It’s nothing more than that.

They and their sycophants figure if they can shovel us that slop it’ll at least keep us alive and well enough to serve them.

The new Marie Antoinette: “Let them eat bugs.”

How to convince people to eat insects.

Never gonna happen. Never. No amount of wishful thinking and food company propaganda will even make this 10% more common than it is now in Western society.

I wish The Sundays had made 30 albums, not three albums. That’s the one band I truly miss from the 90s.

As it is true that people who use bad monitors must hate their own eyes, people who don’t use mechanical keyboards must hate their fingers and hands.

something my old manager taught me that is critical for remote work

say everything in slack. literally everything you're doing. if you spot something interesting, put it on slack. if you're starting work on something, announce it on slack. talk talk talk

Oh hell no, please please please don’t do this. My Slack is already chock full of absolute garbage I have no need of knowing, don’t have time to sort through, and is fundamentally worthless.

Just keep that shit to yourself, people. Less talk is always better. Spamming Slack channels is an enormous distraction and just makes you look like a fucking idiot.

It’s people like this who make Slack terrible.
