This year has not been kind to musicians, rock/metal ones especially. Limp Bizkit's instrumental lineup is unironically overlooked, dude was a phenomenal bassist. Rest in Peace.

I cannot recommend you enough to install the Wikipedia app on your devices and use it like you would any search engine. Nowadays they even have tabs so you can open many articles at once.

And, if you can, please donate to the foundation. It has survived the internet enshittification that way.

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

this shit has been circulating for a while now.

if you sit down during a protest, you are going to get

- tear gassed
- pepper balled
- trampled

your feet are your most important resource if shit gets wavy on the ground. use them.

Erin Biba @erinbiba.bsky.social · 1d

Wait.

WAIT.

People are advising that if things get violent during the No Kings protest you should sit down and show the police you’re not a threat?

Are you trying to get trampled or impede other people’s ability to safely remove themselves from the situation?! Cause that’s what you’re doing!

like 99% of "men and women are soooo different!!" comedy is literally just describing the experience of not understanding other people. like it's not that women never say what they mean talking to other people is just like that. it can be hard to understand what other people are thinking. bioessentialism really rots the brain

genderkoolaid
"women will say I'm fine and then not mean it" yeah that's something literally everybody does. is this your first time interacting with another human being my guy

not only does Gary Larson still have the juice, it seems to have only gotten stronger

a man is buried in the same up to his neck, being devoured by ants. A family of ants are in the foreground taking a touristy photo of it.

i understand that linguistic drift is an inevitability, bit itll always frustrate my 2000s otaku heart to see Filler go from "anime-only content created to fill time so the manga can pull ahead again" to "any part of any fictional story that does not readoly advance the plot"

Early concept art for the Super Mario Bros. Super Show suggesting the cartoon was planned to have animated public service announcements. While Captain Lou Albano did a similar PSA wearing a Mario hat ("if you do drugs, you go to Hell before you die"), that one was live-action.

In December 1961. the British fascist, Oswald Mosley, sent Bertrand Russell two of his books. Mosley wrote of 'the two root differences between us' in international politics, and subsequently invited Russell to lunch. On 22 January 1962, Russell declined the invitation in these terms.

Dear Sir Oswald,

Thank you for your letter and for your enclosures. I have given some thought to our recent correspondence. It is always difficult to decide on how to respond to people whose ethos is so alien and, in fact, repellent to one's own. It is not that I take exception to the general points made by you but that every ounce of my energy has been devoted to an active opposition to cruel bigotry, compulsive violence, and the sadistic persecution which has characterised the philosophy and practice of fascism.

I feel obliged to say that the emotional universes we inhabit are so distinct, and in deepest ways opposed, that nothing fruitful or sincere could ever emerge from association between us.

I should like you to understand the intensity of this conviction on my part. It is not out of any attempt to be rude that I say this but because of all that I value in human experience and human achievement.

Yours sincerely,

Bertrand Russell

Update: Most remaining BDs and some DVDs consolidated with the rest in one binder, now almost full. I've got a few stragglers to find still, but otherwise I'll move on to remaining DVDs and CDs in the second binder (I bought two, 400-disc capacity each)

Neo-Gendersus Emmagelion @emmagelion.bsky.social · 3d

To increase shelf space, I finally finished moving most of my Blu-ray collection into disc-sleeve binders and boxed up the keep cases, excluding collector's/limited-edition sets and Criterions. I do miss seeing the spines lined up in the open, but it's freed up nearly a whole bookcase already.
