Bad news on many fronts, but I'm not going to let that ruin our Christmas cheer. I'm making Lussekatter (Scandinavian saffron buns) for tomorrow. Today is St Lucia Day, but we're missing one at a friend's house, so we'll have them tomorrow for Advent. However you believe, find your joy this winter!🌲

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

I believe strongly anymore that it is the responsibility of every denizen of the Internet to keep it cool, human, and to make it weird wherever possible. The past days of the computer being cool might be behind us, but that doesn't mean that we can't carve out cool niches today, imo
