Tax payer this and tax payer that. It's not your money! It is technically all of our money. It's supposed to be used to help create a better society. But you only seem to complain about how it's spent when it's helping vulnerable people. And not those who are extremely wealthy.

Making sourdough for the last few months has honestly been super satisfying.
New favourite thing is to make butter + chives + garlic spread, slather on a slice, then broil for a few minutes

Hades was the first roguelite I fell in love with, playing till I literally rubbed off the top on one of the controller sticks. Felt fitting that I relearned to sew & spent the most time I ever had on a costume for Hades II.

Thinking about the teachers strike and the discourse around rights. A right may exist on paper, but if you have no power to defend/uphold that right, do you actually have it? IMO we only have rights if we are able to enforce them. That's why organizing and mass-action are so crucial. #ABLeg #ABPoli

I don’t have a positive mindset, but the extended description promises this game can (possibly) change that, which sounds like a great deal, and it also includes crab(s), so an even better deal.
See for yourself, maybe give it a little wishlist while you're there

Still confused why a family member who is VERY aware of my stance on “AI”-generated art thought I was the best person to go to for advice regarding which one they should use (“none” might’ve been accepted for an answer if they cared at all about my perspectives that aren’t to their benefit 😅)

Here is a common sequence of auroral beads evolving into curls. This could be when the ballooning-mode instability is overtaken by some appreciable amount by Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities. This can happen due to a magnetospheric driver in the nightside transition region.
