Ok, but hear me out, ham radio porn has a lot of upsides.

Like, I just had a brilliant goof about how a millennial saves for their retirement plan, and I need to tell a group of people secure in the confidence nobody will worry I'm depressed or something.

I need a safe space where I can express the darkest of black humor that sits in my brain, not because I think it's offensive as much as insensitive and bleak.

This is funny, but also a scathing commentary on the lack of third spaces in our culture.

Everybody working in tech at this point either grew up worshipping the tech industry or was at least convinced by propaganda that the future was dependent on it.

Their god has been revealed to not merely be a living one, but a dying one as well.

Reposting this because I’m right;

I am increasingly convinced that the key to understanding the ongoing blueskymod crashout is that they are having a kind of crisis of faith over the reputational collapse of the tech industry.

Boston's Favorite Son: 15 Seconds of Fame (2003, GBA)

The amount of support I've been seeing on LibSky for a military coup in the United States is truly breathtaking. As if I needed further proof that I live in the dumbest country on the planet. Were it not for our relative geographical isolation and our capacity for violence, we'd have died long ago.

About to get up on the stream and back into CloverPit. Digging the vibe, need to get some more charm unlocks before things really start to open up, but it's a good time. Come hang out!

Based on the coverage I'm reading, it seems Secretary Hegseth has pulled the ultimate "this could have been an email" move on the US military's top brass. Incredible.

This is a man who spent his career manipulating the media, producing television, and claiming what you see on the news isn't real, lest you think he's suddenly having a revelation or demented. He's just fucking with you.

I have been haunted by this statement all day www.kgw.com/article/news...

Local News
Trump seems to back off Portland military plan: 'Am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening?'

Also a good reminder to all the doomers out there.

"I’m Ta-Nehisi Coates, I’m the writer, I’m the individual, right? But I am part of something larger, and I’ve always felt myself as part of something larger. I have a tradition, I have ancestry, I have heritage. What that means is that I do whatever I do within the time that I have in my life, whatever time I’m gifted with, and much of what I do is built on what other people did before them.

Then, after that, I leave the struggle where I leave it, and hopefully, it’s in a better place. Oftentimes it’s not. That’s the history in fact. And then my progeny, they pick it up, and they keep it going.

I am descended from people who, in their lifetime, fought with all their might for the destruction of chattel slavery in this country. And they never saw it. They never saw it. In my personal belief system, they died in defeat, in darkness.

So I guess the privilege that I draw out of this, the honor that I draw out of this, is not that things will necessarily be better in my lifetime, but that I will make the contribution that I am supposed to make."
