Counterpoint, you don't owe your family anything. If they suck, screw 'em. There are plenty of tables that aren't surrounded by humanity's buttholes. Life is too short to believe people are owed your time because of "blood" or whatever.

Law & Order: SVU would probably have to film another 50 seasons with 100% prosecutorial failures to undo the impression people have about the ease of filing a rape complaint and getting a conviction.

Cunard's Queen Mary 2 arriving in Liverpool.
Was quite lucky with the timing and my positioning to get it lined up with the sunset.

At work and my coworker insists on playing YouTube shorts (the ai narrated crap) at full volume in the dead time.
They're the video equivalent of scooping up random dogshit and cramming it into his brain.

Huge respect for Youth Demand, who disrupted Israel's performance at #Eurovision tonight. ✊🏽🇵🇸
During genocide it cannot be business as usual.
We NEED civil disobedience & resistance of the status quo en masse.
Marches alone aren't enough.
The aim is to disrupt.

My primary professional organization, which alternates annual meeting locations each year, has moved its 2027 conference out of the U.S. - where it was already booked - saying it will hold no more meetings during the current admin after this year in the U.S. This is unprecedented to my knowledge.

Nothing quite like a 230am wakeup of text messages, emails and a loud alert to tell me there's a tornado (and severe thunderstorm) warning 4400 miles away (in Georgia) where I've not lived for 18 months.
I'm gonna have to remember to unhook myself from the alerts in the morning

Went to my first robot combat event in a year yesterday (and only my second since COVID), felt good to be there, even as just the videographer (I did get to run one match).

We've already had run ins with several Seattle area NYT readers who confidently inform my first wife that "no the Medicaid cuts haven't started yet" because major outlets didn't think the axing of hospital reimbursements in january was worth covering

aside from the cuts they're pushing now, they ALREADY cut off medicaid reimbursements to hospitals starting in January, which caused my wife's nonprofit hospital here in Seattle to implode and fire her entire department two weeks ago

What a difference 18 months makes.
The one on the left is me now, compared to November 2023.
Sometimes you got to hit rock bottom and then you can come out stronger (although I nearly didn't leave said bottom).

So last summer, I got the chance to do something new - work on an #Opera. Finally got around to editing the video I recorded of it, so in case anyone needs cheering up, here's an English language version of Mozarts Marriage of Figaro, www.youtube.com/watch?v=7b_N...
