Looking for recommendations: who here has one of Kobo's color models? How dimmable is it for reading at night w/ sensitive eyes? (I typically set my b&w kindle to barely-lit-at-all). Would you recommend one model over another? I want to replace my Kindle because y'know... Amazon. #booksky

I take on average 10,000 stills and a half hour of video every week. Most I'll never think about again. This I'll hold onto until I grow old. 4 hours ago.
Zero edits. No recoloring. No cropping. Nothing. Just straight up reality. 🦑

I just wrote a song:
🎶 The Cold That Never Ends 🎶
This is the cold that never ends,
It just goes on and on, my friends.
One day you think you're over it 'cause you're feelin' fine,
But when you wake again you find that your hopes were benign!
This is the cold that never ends....

Hrm. While I don't think we should outright dismiss apologies & attempts to change, it's going to take a lot more evidence of *actual* behavioral changes over time before we come anywhere close to trusting that she's being genuine though. She could start by apologizing directly to David Hogg.
BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.

HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!
Medical Republic: 'Fibromyalgia finally gets a genetic fingerprint'
'Additionally, certain risk loci overlapped with long covid (BPTF) and ME/CFS (OLFM4, RABGAP1L/GPR52), two poorly characterised disorders, albeit with different lead variants.'

the problem is that shitty people keep thinking the cataclysmic social divide happening right now is between educated/uneducated or pastoral/cosmopolitan when in fact it is between cruel/kind, abuser/decent - and being surprised by which side of that line they fall on

Wow, ok, I don't know what happened, but I posted this 2 days ago, got a few likes and reposts, then suddenly, sometime during the night last night, it BLEW UP. So anyway, I just finished going through as many of the replies as I could, and I'd like to clarify a few things...
"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.

this country will not be healed until genuinely rich and powerful people start experiencing genuinely severe consequences for their evil actions. these people will only respond to force.
And no, don’t tell me it’s somehow impossible - the U.S. is by no means exceptional in this regard, either.

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.”
It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”
