'It matters which side we choose. Even if there will never be more light than darkness. Even if there can be no more joy in the galaxy than there is pain.

For every action we undertake, for every word we speak, for every life we touch - it matters.'

but the transmitter has no idea if you are on a wired connection or not, so clearly the correct decision is to assume that any unicast traffic will be transmitted via wifi at some point during transmission 🤣

it doesn't matter the superbreak has had absolutely no love since fugue when fugue was the last piece you needed for your superbreak team to be Fucking Insane

greg (scary) @gregdotexe.sufficientlyinteresting.com · 3h

I've seen a lot of star rail youtubers mention that super break sucks recently. I was a bit confused, but then I remembered that my firefly is e2 because I'm a god damn simp so naturally my superbreak team is stronger than most

You always find something in the last place you look. Unfortuantely, the average hard disk has about 20,000 places.

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

Mondoweiss @mondoweiss.net · 17h

NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.

Because it feels relevant as we continue to evaluate the media and our representatives’ statements, my favorite way to identify the active vs. passive voice.

A post by Rebecca Johnson:
“I finally learned how to teach my guys to ID the passive voice. If you can insert "by zombies" after the verb, you have passive voice.”

A tumblr respond from mightymur:
“The final, brilliant word on passive voice.
"She was killed [by zombies.]"<--passive
"Zombies killed [by zombies] her." <-- active”
