It's almost annoying how smart the idea is of taking over the Church of England. It's weak as fuck, but has institutional power and loads of assets. And what is the pushback really? Do loads of anti-racists atheists have to join to fight them off? Can they truly be arsed?

They know that if Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, were not there sniveling in the dark, the other one, the flute-player, could make no joyful music as the young riders line up in their beauty for the race in the sunlight of the first morning of summer.
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, lived happily ever after, playing the piano for his sister at the city concert hall, which is all she ever wanted.
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, still dreamed of cyberspace, hope fading nightly. All the speed he took, all the turns he'd taken and the corners he cut in Night City, and he'd still see the matrix in his dreams, bright lattices of logic unfolding across that colourless void...

Also, earlier today I was playing Minecraft with my daughter, who now has many massive secret lairs. she demanded I pick a pet for myself. I chose a chicken. She labeled it but missed the Z when typing and thus it was named:

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die with two double bourbons inside him, sat in the final departure lounge of Miami Airport and thought about life and death.
The snow in the mountains was melting and Tiny Tim had NOT been dead for several weeks before we came to understand the gravity of our situation.
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.

Heading to a Chabad lighting in Noe Valley later. I’ve known the rabbi for nearly twenty years, and they hosted a lovely event for my family’s celebration last Shabbat, and I’m trying not to think too much about the other thing.
Wishing a safe and happy Chanukah to all who celebrate. ❤️

Double aside: which trade would you align with if you didn't have a cushy tech job is a great question!
Electrician/networking is too obvious so I disallow that.
I'd either do drywall or framing.
Roofing is out. Not because of fall risk, but because it is so hot up there! Did once. Never again.🙅🏿♂️

Mark Zuckerberg believed in the Metaverse so much he changed his company's name to "Meta" in 2021 and spent over $70 billion on this fantastical virtual reality chat space that has less functionality than VR Chat.
Now, in 2025, he doesn't even mention it. And investors still give him money to burn

A brief history of why we have car fuel economy standards:
- In 1973-1974 we had the Arab Oil Embargo. Oil and gas prices tripled overnight, if you could get gas at all. Gas stations had lines around the block or "no gas"signs out front. American struggled to keep their V8 gas guzzlers fueled up.
