These days when society trends toward hate and bigotry, I rebel and practice radical kindness. You're all beautiful, awesome people and the world is 1000% better that you're in it. Carl Sagan said "The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself."
So. Much. Wiz. ... Still wit, of course.

Don't give anything an Emmy until it's as good as this.

Quite possibly the most substantial scientific breakthrough of my lifetime, developed in my country, and the government is deliberately throttling it in the cradle in an effort to curry favor with the dumbest people alive

Really?! Oh no! Okay, to be fair, I eat sliced jalapenos raw. So peppers don't really affect me, so much these didn't even register. So if I ever say something is too spicy, you need to definitely stay away. 😅

Bag 16 - Herr's Kettle Spinach & Artichoke Dip - Another kettle. I have to get away from these kettles, as they're notoriously weak. These are also weak, but on the better side. Maybe just a better kettle chip. These were also okay, too, but a higher B than pepperoncini.

Bag 15 - Kettle Brand Pepperoncini - I was expecting a sweet zing like you get from the OG salad, but no, no zing. Maybe a light freshness, but almost nonexistent. Disappointing, but still a low B.

I swear, this cat. The same cat who, during my streams, will perch on top of my chair and wildly chase her tail. She knows how to push my buttons to no end, but just look at her. The portrait of innocence. I can't.

The thing is my wife hates beards. And, well, I do rather like her and try to make her happy. So, you know, there is that to consider.

Oof. I've let my beard grow a bit this past week and it's already hit that point where I'm questioning just letting it grow more as shaving it all now is going to be a bit of a project.

The snow that fell over 2 weeks ago is finally attempting to melt, but it has nowhere to go as everything is still covered in sheets of ice.

Yeah, it's all super confusing. But the end-effect is the same. Decentralization. Was just directed to another called Stoat.

Someone just suggested element.io/en to me. It's decentralized, encrypted, and federated like Bluesky and Mastodon. I'm still checking it out and may wait to see what other people do, but it looks promising.
