When I look up at Mars, shining brightly in the night sky, I find myself filled with hope that one day I will be able to point and say "See? That's where all the billionaires died."

god damn this looks much like one of my best friends growing up, right down to the slight slouch.

this is why I have straight given up trying to record acoustic guitar though. trying to get my windows laptop fans to shut the fuck up for one take? keep my furnace from randomly interrupting? I was close to throwing all my guitars in a wood chipper

surprised they didn't just tell you you have fibromyalgia, the fallback diagnosis of all pain conditions

sitting in one place for long enough to get a single clean take: the absolute bane of my existence as a chronic back pain enjoyer

I cannot imagine trying to do it while also wrestling gear

this reminds me about how brits living in canada don't call themselves immigrants, they call themselves "expats". I'm sure there's a class of person who believe they aren't an immigrant... because of certain reasons you may easily guess.

I have been obsessed with these this year:

analogicalforce.bandcamp.com/album/af060l...

mitchmurder.bandcamp.com/album/hurric...

it will never not be wild to me that this is literally one of The Cure's best tracks, and it was only used on a movie soundtrack.

Public official removes Flock Safety camera that the city unilaterally agreed to remove, gets arrested.

This is what it looks like when a data broker startup has more power than your justice system.

Matthew Guariglia @mguariglia.bsky.social · 1d

A county commissioner tried to take down a License Plate Reader in his jurisdiction where elected officials had ended their contract w/ Flock. Police arrested him.

Who really runs these counties? Politicians gave blank checks to police and are now learning the genie is out of the bottle.

I COULD NOT HELP MYSELF

yeah but it's nice to see the pendulum swinging back around I guess.

the real conspiracy theory hat would be so that they can test their ability to deny people access to the platform at all, even if they are on other servers.

let’s all take out our frustrations at [gestures vaguely at everything] by bullying a spineless legislator into doing his stupid little job

Californians, let’s call (916) 445-2841 to tell Newsom’s office to sign the following pro LGBTQ+ rights bills before the deadline:

AB 82/SB 497
AB 1084/SB 59
SB 418
AB 554
AB 728
AB 678
SB 590
SB 450

He hasn't signed the other bills yet, but he still has days to do so
This headline is misleading for not mentioning that.

The gender education veto is bad, but far from the most important trans rights bill on his desk.

There's still time to contact Newsom for the rest!

the result of which was that I had to scramble to find *anything* that would arrive at my sister's place for xmas.

king ned blood 🇨🇦 @grumble.social · 1d

my favorite version of this was last xmas when I was ordering gifts for my nieces and nephews, and one thing I ordered was explicitly listed as being back in stock on a particular day, and so the estimated delivery was good.

one week after that day passed they told me they had no ETA.

kinda crazy how every single “just give people enough money to afford some basic stuff” experiments yield the exact same positive results that everyone benefits from every time, huh

Anyway, back to toiling

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."
