I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Rotary phones ringing in the dark. Bevelled buttons set in a <frame>. The quick switch circuit boards hidden by the snap lid of a Quadra 600. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
Time to start again.
And no lessons learned.

För mig illustrerar detta utbyte i ett kommentarsfält precis var sprickan i svensk politik går: på ena sidan den som står för empati och omtanke, och en annan som anser att människor är objekt som kan sorteras i logiska fack och därefter värderas efter vilket fack de hamnade i. 🧵, 1/4 ->

These creeping bellflowers are beautiful but weed, and quite invasive. We’re keeping them for now, for the pollinators, but eventually they’ll have to go.

I asked Le Chat how it had been instructed to answer questions. Talk about a non-answer designed to fool anyone trained not to think critically.

If it’s fixable with duct tape it isn’t broken. Train 534 enroute to Stockholm.
(The train set is in line for total refurbishment, and, well: whatever works, works.)
