    (Ahem... )

    When your friends write books, buy them. Read them. Write reviews. Buy copies for other people. The publishing industry is a hellscape and the people who are still trying to create something good in it need you.

    21 USC §333 & 21 CFR §145.170(a)(2)(iii)(e) make it a federal crime to sell "sliced" canned peaches unless the peaches are cut into wedge-shaped sectors, but 21 CFR §145.170(a)(4)(ii) allows "slices" to be used interchangeably with "sliced."

    New variants from unvaccinated areas that force us to get boosters is literally the business model of big pharma. I wrote this back in May.

    Nikka Taketsuru. Quite nice. Smooth, just a bit of smoke, with a sort of vanilla (as in the flavor itself not as in 'plain') after.

    My annual has begun.I fired the first salvo today by putting up pagan evergreen branches and singing godless carols. I then undermined my right wing Christian overlords by wishing them “Happy Holidays.”For those of you on the frontlines gods bless you in our work.

    We did it. We gentrified a torture site. 🇺🇸

    With 6,000 residents, a McDonald’s drive-through, bars and ball fields, the Guantánamo Bay Navy base is more than one big prison. It has the trappings of small-town America and the amenities of a college campus.

    I once worked in a clothing store that was robbed of a bunch of items. The manager went out to the parking lot to reason with the people to give the stuff back in exchange for not calling the police; they ran him over with their car. Near-minimum wage job, lifetime injuries.

    There’s a really bizarre tendency to downplay these flash mob robberies as non-violent crimes against faceless corporations, but it’s pretty clear they’re only non-violent as long as nobody gets in the way.

    Seriously. I like a drink or two (or three or more sometimes) but it's *definitely* not for everyone. Respect those who know it's not a good choice for them.

    Can we normalize letting people say no to an alcoholic drink without 1. asking multiple times and 2. demanding a good reason? Some people just don’t drink. Accept it and move along.

    so this gif has been making the rounds, with the unhelpful title of "data cable on a computer from 1945". but what computer? what sort of data? let's find out.🧵

    Ah, looks like they went with "omicron" instead. Maybe for just this reason.

    "web 1.0" was actually pretty decentralized; the cryptobro vision of a future internet is more like if the borg cube had been designed by loan sharks

    So we couldn't skip the letter "nu", and have to Laurel and Hardy this? "Hey, you hear about this new covid variant?" "You mean the nu variant?" "That's what I said, the new variant."

    Same energy as those who want welfare benefits only for those who pass some test of "morals".

    There was a six year old in the 13th century whose drawings were preserved. They’re wild battle scenes and spelling practice, and one even says “I am a wild beast.” Sometimes I forget that kids in the olden days were still kids

    Covid is here to stay, it will keep mutating, we need to improve building ventilation & develop antivirals, vax is useful but has been oversold, from now on the world will include people dying of covid & we have to live our best lives with that constraint.
