absolutely gutted that Britain didn't go home with a medal in the mixed doubles curling. Bruce and Jenn were amazing all week and it just didn't come together at the end. it's been a real theme for team GB so far though

that Israel hasn't been banned from the Olympics kinda highlights the west's ongoing complicity in Palestine's genocide

the Trotskyist position that America under Trump is not fascist has not stood the test of time

in the states, it's frequently said that having a car, being able to go wherever you want whenever you want, is like the essence of freedom.

after being car free for 2 years, I can confidently say nothing is as freeing as being able to go places without a car.

question to the void: is grading in british master's programmes just extra harsh? because I'm getting whiplash from a comment on a course's final paper of "all in all very good" but then marked as a 71% with no written demerits

listening to an old KJB episode about The People's Joker and hearing the collective shared recognition of not having personhood absolutely one-shot me. still feeling that way in 2025 ahhhh

Discourse surrounding Pokemon Legends Z-A has been pretty unhealthy. Let's make it worse. Here's a video from an unbiased source about how playing this game is at least way more fun than going to France in real life

with this new push from Microsoft to shove AI garbage and spyware into every aspect of Windows, is time to move to Linux. I finished installing Pop!_OS with no hassle and immediately went about playing Hades II also with no issue. Make the move today!
