This.. for his own sadist amusement only.
In a world where humans have disappeared,
Nature's beauty is finally revered,
Forests reclaim the land,
Life flourishes and expands,
A peaceful landscape is revered.

Took our kids to see Dogman, and that was two hours I would have much rather spent doing anything else. I think sitting in a car doomscrolling would have been more entertaining.
The movie wasn’t bad, it just had nothing. Not funny, not clever, not even mildly suspenseful. It was just boring. Best I can say is it was well animated with a good adaptation of the art style from the books.

Geheimdienstgefängnisse in Syrien - Ein Land sucht seine Kinder

"The library where I worked at the time did not successfully fulfill a single Patriot Act request.
Not that this is relevant to the current situation. I assure you this is a random memory that popped into my head with zero prompting. "

This is all cool and dandy but you've never met Nazis willing to burn down the library.
These stories were cool to deal with something that resembled a government.
That world is gone, the US as a democratic state with a stable system of governance is dead.
The US is being managed by Nazis now.
If the library doesn't comply, the Nazis will burn it down, this is the new reality.
Wake up.

This post argues that we should classify incidents by complexity (number of responders), rather than severity (impact):
"Complexity-based classification has a key advantage over that based on impact. Namely: by the time you’ve thought enough to know how complex a response you need, you already have the beginning of a plan. In other words, whereas the impact-based Fujita system is suited to analysis, the complexity-based ICS types are suited to action."

"I have a weird relationship with the Democratic Party. I don't believe in a two-party system, but I also understand the Democratic Party is a coalition and if we want the party to change, the balance of the coalition has to change. But right now, you open the hood on the Democratic Party, what you have is, I think, a bit of a power struggle over the last couple of years."

Canceling conferences and meetings in the US makes sense, as being in the US is now not safe for:
- LGBTQ+ (especially trans)
- women (especially pregnant)
- people with non-pale skin
- anyone with a food allergy (FDA is shut down)
- anyone with a compromised immune system (CDC is shut down; important health info is being suppressed)
- non-US-citizens
- anyone flying (as the result of the FAA firings; there have been multiple aircraft crashes since)

I was five or six when the picture tube blew on our black and white tv. It only got three channels, and westerns were going off the air, so my father never replaced it. And that's how I grew up without tv.
"Picture tube blew" was definitely the phrase we used, but yes, I assume something in the CRT stopped working. It might have made a loud snapping noise when it happened, but I could be misremembering. Regardless, the only real option was to get a new tv.
What timing! Early TV was stuck with westerns and not a whole lot else - your tube blew just as things were getting interesting! The three channel VHF thing was pretty common into the 80s when cable took off. The TVs I grew up with also had UHF tuners with a few more channels, but the reception (little loop antenna) was so bad, few bothered with it.
