Hi there! I'm KB or Alex. I play a lot of video games (mostly FFXIV for the last three years, but also some other stuff). I read a good deal, mostly fantasy and sci-fi. My music tastes are eclectic and mostly instrumental. I'm Irish/Greek, was raised in Africa, and currently live in Dublin.
Ooo, food thermometer. Those are pretty useful.

“Oh, well I just told you about it, so now like all of the rest of us who pay attention to what’s going on, you know all about it. You just heard it, from me, and you know. You’re all caught up. So to repeat: does this concern you?”
RAJU: Last week you were very critical of Biden's use of the autopen. But Trump admitted on 60 Minutes to not knowing he pardoned a crypto billionaire who pleaded guilty to money laundering. Does that also concern you?

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know anything about that. I didn't see it. I'm not sure.

Extraordinary how many establishment Democrats really wish they didn't have a talented rising new star who connects to people by talking to them and understanding what their interests are, then speaking to those interests. Like a job where the new guy makes everyone look bad simply by doing the job.

Underground, Overground

My hunt to find locations where you can see Underground trains traveling over Overground trains (or vice versa) continues.

This vantage point near East Putney station has views of tube trains traveling over the railway. I waited 30 mins to get this shot.

Kyatapi Land is a permanent PvP Enabled Zone. Everybody in this manga is aggro 100% of the time for no reason. It's awesome.

definitely recommend it if you like Pop Team Epic.

One of the most meaningful moments I recall when I was desperate for literally anything to cling to during Trump 1.0 was the emergence of Teen Vogue as a destination for anti-fascist coverage. It was so surprising that it became a popular joke, indeed an in-joke, that TV was such a destination.
It’s disheartening to see Teen Vogue dissolved into Vogue and its political team let go. For years, it was one of the few mainstream spaces that made room for honest, radical commentary on justice, inequality & the world we actually live in. I’m grateful it gave me a home for so many of my op-eds

“‘Who’s that actor?’ And Pablo [Hidalgo] at Lucasfilm was like, ‘I think it’s just a stunt dude in a Stormtrooper thing,’ and I go, ‘No—that’s a real actor, just from the way they walked across the stage.'”

The way they walked across the stage:

- resurrect Herodotus
- Herodotus rushes to Wikipedia and messes up the articles you fixed
Can someone find the tomb of Herodotus and resurrect him for me?

I need to ask him what he meant when he said it was Darius I, ie the Achaemenid king of kings whom he claimed the Scythians defeated, who provoked the Scythians into attacking the Thracian Chersonese

They fired every Black woman at Teen Vogue and every trans staffer.

It is astonishing watching the American media ecosystem just falling like dominoes, bowing its knees to fascism.
thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.

now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

If anyone lost a bag of books from LRB Bookshop on the Metropolitan Line between Baker St- Watford, I handed it to a cleaner when the train terminated at Watford tube station. And if you have far more followers than me, please share this status. LRB bookshop is not cheap!

Protest peacefully and be demonised.
Threaten the safety of the Táinaiste's home and family, attempt to burn innocent people to death, and be placated and offered a seat at the table and asked what your concerns are.
This seems to be the choice.

People are now saying, oh gosh go fix your Grokipedia entries. NO, don't. In fact that might have been musk's intent: use Ai to produce a slop-grade encyclopedia and force the internet to fix it. Nope. Don't fall for it, no matter what it may say about you or yours.

So imagine David Beckham pretended to have cancer and shoved a phone charger cable up his nose posing for a fake hospital photo.

That's just happened in Ireland with DJ Carey, one of the most famous hurlers of all time.
