every adult should know how to craft something. i use that loosely: cook a meal, do a bit of DIY, sew a button, grow a plant.
if there is nothing in this world that you can make yourself... why. what are you doing

On reflection, all those 'fixed it for you' headline rewrites you all did were correct

Just casually throwing back to December when the (democratically-elected) president of SK justified martial law by claiming there were NK infiltrators in the opposition party, & it lasted like 6 hours, & he got impeached & arrested, & military heads that had refused his orders got medals
The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality.
I don't know how to yell any louder.

The South Korean Ministry of Defense has awarded medals of merit to 11 officers for disobeying direct orders of superiors during the martial law fiasco, orders that they deemed to be contrary to the constitution and endangerment to democracy.

Just casually remembering when I was in Seoul on the night the president declared martial law at like 10pm, and thousands of Koreans immediately headed out to the National Assembly to shut that shit down by morning

I heard this thing a while back, that your musical taste generally stops evolving in your early 30s, which is part of the reason older people complain that “there’s no truly great music any more”
K-pop destroyed that. Big overlap between 80s/90s/00s punk/goth/industrial + K-pop fans. Love it

Apropos of nothing, a pet peeve I had with Twitter and now have with bsky, is people that complain they don’t get anybody interacting with their posts, & when you check their replies tab, they also don’t interact with anybody

Hot take probably but parasocial tendencies can be good and you shouldn't feel bad about caring about people even if they're not close to you. The key is to be aware if your relationship isn't a close one (or doesn't exist) but you can still wish that someone is doing all right.
