I think, this game can look like a tipping point. I’m not sure, we have someting to feel positive. Sobo, Hugo and Flo won’t save us from this miserable season.

Not bad first half for Liverpool FC. But those two are brilliant! 1:0 (Flo, but Hugo made this goal possible).

My WRC champions’ collection was updated today with Timo Salonen’s Peugeot 206 Turbo. He won the season 1985 with this car.

Good and bold piece. Next time you quote the "brilliant leader and buisnessman" Musk and others, think about it. I hope this year we’ll see desacralization of that old school tech “leaders” that all fucked us up. And there will be new leaders in tech.

Not bad second half from Liverpool. But no forward — no goals. And still have no idea, WHY THE FUCK GAKPO IS BETTER THAN Fede or Rio!?

This year Grammy Song of the year nominations.
Why we need now a dozen of people to write 100% boring generic songs filled with samples?
Hope Billie Eilish or Chappell Roan will get this award. They are the best.

I’ve stopped to see logic in the game, subs etc from Arne Slot in April 2025. I don’t like how we play football since then. We get points ONLY because of individuals, not tactics, plan, strategy. I don’t get the point of the football Liverpool plays
It is the most borring LFC team since Roy Hodgson

100% true. Boring AF.
Liverpool seem to have lost everything that made them so entertaining to watch under Klopp.

Because they don’t need to. Most people believe them anyway. Critical thinking is the thing we’re losing fastest. Peope are too lazy to question and verify. They’ve happily delegated these processes to someone and something else.

I don’t think Rio should be in starting 11 today.
My choice: Alison, Bradley, Konate, Virgil, Robo, Gravenberch, Sobo, Jones, Frimpong, Ekitike, Gakpo.
Subs: Flo for Gakpo, Kerkez for Robo, Rio for Jones, Maca for Grav.
But as some people say: our poroblem this season in tactics, not in squad.

Just may be? I think this is 100% true in general. First — social media started to eroding this, now — all those chats. The reason is obvious: usage simplicity. So we can just forget how to think, this feature may become rudimental in a future for majority of general users.

Short vacation helped me finally move forward with my sci-fi project.
What I have:
— detailed plot;
— worldbuilding is done (the coolest part so far as it’s where all my insane ideas live);
— chapter plan is ready.
It took about six months to figure all of this out, but now it is well structured

Oooo know what other great 1987 song there was? "Heart and Soul" by T'Pau, which HAS THE LINE "upside down" IN IT. One of my favorite songs. Also, they're named after a Star Trek Vulcan. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwrY...

I do love many things about Stranger Things. But the finale felt too carefully engineered to please everyone. It was overly calculated, overly explained. Every storyline wrapped up, every mystery spelled out. But it made me feel a bit dumb — like the show didn’t trust the audience.

Very interesting interview of @aptshadow.bsky.social . As an amateur want-to-be sci-fi author, I’ve found so many great insights about writting good sci-fi. Concept of One Big Lie is a very useful thing, for example.

I do believe that countries are rudimental (like nations as well). The most convenient way to live is a city with very technical role of mayor and those autonomous projects as a government.
I'm inclined to say we should drop ALL nationalist views, volkish and otherwise.
But of course I also believe that the ideal government is a network of coordinated but ultimately autonomous decentralized mutual aid projects, so.
Baby steps I guess

Another good practice for the New Year would be for all the non-fascists in America who want to opine about politics to really begin believing that urban America is Real America & that its denizens are The Authentic People. Get some self-respect & drop the volkish nationalist view that they're not

@briancasel.com hey Brian! Thanks for Design OS, it is absolutely great!
I have a project already made, but want to refactor the whole interface to be consistent and… well… good. So is it possible to create frontend with Design OS and than just connect it with my backend? Looks like it is, right?
