This perfectly encapsulates how I feel living in the US. The republican party is an insane death cult, the democratic party is 3 corporations in a trench coat, and the "socialists" are just the completely normal left-wing capitalists you'd find in any of 2 dozen European nations.
Europeans recognize Zohran Mamdani’s supposedly radical policies as ‘normal’
Critics of New York City’s mayor-elect have said his pledges of free bus service and universal childcare are unrealistic, but in Europe it’s a given

Which is to say, if you do worker-owned stuff or want to do that stuff, you should talk to me/us! I like helping, I'm a sicko who loves meetings, and I think the co-op space's emphasis on helping each other is one of the most valuable challenges it can mount to the current system

A while back I was trying to find how to make rope physics WITHOUT a physics engine.
Was surprisingly difficult to find at the time.
So for anyone searching for the same in future:
You're after "Verlet integration" or "Verlet Rope" ❤️
Great tutorial: toqoz.fyi/game-rope.html

As a biologist, It really is a great analogy. Also trees. It's like saying, "There are trees and grass, you have to be one or the other." Ok... where is the line that defines "is a tree?" what about bush-like grasses? Palm trees? NON-tree palms? What about horsetails and their tree-like ancestors?

Boris Artzybasheff, a Ukrainian illustrator who immigrated to the US in 1919, was known for florid, grotesque explorations of surrealistic anthropomorphism, combining human and machine into fearsome, laboring hulks of metal & flesh.
These illustrations are from “Machinalia.”
