1/4 The Capcom Yashichi Origin
Japan's longest running TV drama was Mito Kōmon / 水戸黄門 (1969-2011). It was like an Edo period version of The A-Team where the travelling good guys would help the locals from corrupt officials and criminals. One of the main characters was Kazaguruma no Yashichi / 風車の弥七

Windows has become the Idiocracy meme where a guy watches TV but there's ads around the video.
Paint has sign-in and ai.
Notepad has sign-in and ai.
Start menu is just a big ad space.
It auto-installs sponsored apps like Linkedin
This system costs $199. You paid for it, even if it came with the PC

Just to let yall know. Chicago's union prez said there'd be a bloodbath of resignations and crime spikes if Brandon Johnson was elected and none of those things happened. Violent crime dropped, cops still getting paid overtime to sit in their car and send abusive texts to their spouses.

My favorite moment from Chicago #standupforscience:
Person: I wish these people were my neighbors!
Me: We *are* your neighbors
🥲🥰

I felt like I really had to go to #standupforscience because I assumed I'd be the only person with a sign about trans rights
I can't tell you how happy I am that I was wrong
The reaction to my sign was overwhelmingly warm and my soul feels recharged. We do have allies out there

I get really tired of powerscalers who treat whether or not a character could win in a fight as a measure of whether or not they're interesting. I just saw someone say the Doctor from Dr. Who is a bad character because he can be threatened by zombies "and other b-tier trash."

I find it fascinating that stalemates in chess-like games have been:
* A draw (e.g. modern chess)
* A win for the player delivering stalemate (e.g. shogi)
* A win for the stalemated player (various/historic incl India and England)
* Illegal (various again)
* Forced passed turns (janggi)
* A draw (e.g. modern chess)
* A win for the player delivering stalemate (e.g. shogi)
* A win for the stalemated player (various/historic incl India and England)
* Illegal (various again)
* Forced passed turns (janggi)

Can't say that I'm doing *well* but things seem to be leveling off and I'm still functional, so that's a bit of a relief. Still stressed as all hell, though.
