Intently trying not to be That Linux/Open-Source Guy in other peoples mentions is hard. Know that if I slip up and become That Guy in your mentions, it was from a lifetime enduring enshittification and learning hundreds of neat little ways to avoid getting trapped by it.

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

Nancy Pelosi secretly being queen of the stock market and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez vocally opposing elected officials profiting off the stock market feel like intrinsically connected facts that quietly explain their instant bad blood the minute they became House colleagues
There’s a cottage industry of investors who monitor former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s disclosed stock trades, match her every move, and usually make a profit along the way.
That trend will now end in 2027.

I've been watching Timekeepers of Eternity (a recut of the old TV miniseries The Langoliers) a little at a time, and apparently the ol' algorithm thinks what I'm trying to get from my YouTube experience is 200% more Bronson Pinchot.

If nothing else, #over/under has been an incredible (and terrifying) lesson in how easy it is to spread misinformation, and how quickly you lose control of your messaging once you actually get someone to bite on your lies

I have found it's an extremely common thing to be on #over/under and be like "Who is playing this asshole character that I hate" only to find I have one of the player's books on my shelf or in my digital library.

Today I had to take the train and bus home from work. A young couple sat behind me, playing hangman to pass the time. After trying a bunch of letters the guy told his girl "I'm just gonna try a bunch at once and you fill 'em in: I-L-O-V-E-Y-O-U."
I hope you two had an awesome night. The bus rules.

A few years into my 4th decade of life, I am only just now beginning to understand how much of the (primarily US) pop culture experience you miss out on as a person who doesn't really vibe with anime that much.

Kat Abugazeh’s campaign has crossed a threshold where the risk she’s taking is significant enough and the actions admirable enough I sorta am past caring if it’s a publicity stunt/brand building exercise or not, it’s still brave and worthy of respect.
