So we've gone from "he never said anything Nazi" to "well he might have said something Nazi but not in a hurtful way" to "well okay he probably did say something Nazi in a hurtful way, but didn't we all?"

Ava Gardner at sixteen in the summer of 1939 for a portrait by Larry Tarr, the husband of Ava’s sister Bappie and a professional photographer. The pics were submitted to MGM and Ava was given a screen test. Said Louis Mayer, “She can’t act, she can’t talk, but she’s terrific!”

If actually wanting to own the media you consume makes you a hipster, slap a handlebar mustache on my face.
Continuously paying a subscription fee for things you’ll never be able to retain ownership of is a total scam.

Prophylactic blocking on our own and other pages is a public health activity. Quarantine asshole contagion before it spreads to unmanageable levels. Only you can prevent future Elon Musks
I cannot stress enough that is some rando responds to something you reposted trying to draw you into a “but have you considered” discussion of it, they are not acting in good faith, and you just block. Please, embrace the blue sky way. block. block. block.

36 years ago today, 14 women, most of whom were studying engineering, were killed by an anti-feminist gun man at École Polytechnique in Montreal. I was a young graduate student studying physics at the time and I will never forget. #MontrealMassacre #NeverForget 🧪 👩🔬 ⚛️ 🎢 #AcademicSky 🇨🇦

In two hours I will finally be on my way to the thermal spa again!
I still need to pay for two sauna visits for my colleague because I lost a bet - then we’ll be even.
(She’s paying for food and drink, though, so it’s not too bad for me.)

Am I just too dense to set up a Speed Dial page as my Firefox homepage, like Safari and Vivaldi do, or is it actually impossible?
(I'm familiar with the bookmark menus, and also with the strange setting where Firefox arbitrarily displays and arranges bookmarks on the homepage.)

My favourite Italian restaurant has finally reopened after it suddenly closed in April - allegedly for structural reasons.
We went in yesterday, the owner is still the same, everything was wonderful, and life is beautiful.
