Didn't sleep for 26 1/2 hours, including a full and busy day at work. Only slept three hours so far tonight. WHY, BRAIN. I will kill you with substances if you keep this up.

"Silent Hill is terrifying" Silent Hill is only scary if you haven't done the inner work allowing yourself to sit comfortably with silence or if you are somehow afraid of being hunted by a man with a giant sword who also happens to have a pyramid for a head. Otherwise, it's not scary. It's regular.

I won't consider Starlink for the same reason I won't buy a Tesla and why I'm no longer on the former Twitter: I won't willingly give money to (or be an advertising base for) a Nazi salute-throwing fascist who actively tried to destroy our democracy

So make sure you file your claims.
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.
Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action

Don’t allow tech to turn you into an un-person. Refuse to let AI make things you could produce with your own brain. Develop your mental & creative faculties. Read constantly. They want you illiterate, and nothing threatens them more than a brain that is sharp and intact.

“The disabled people you let die to ‘return to normal’—it was for nothing. Because at the end of the day, [Democrats] are prepared to treat you the fucking same way.”

The incongruence. “You people want us unemployed, kicked out the street, want our family broken up and my newborn to starve. All because I disagree with you politically. What you try to do to us personally is far worse than any of our general political ideology.”

If you feel overwhelmed, remember that you can still make a difference doing little things. A compliment or word of encouragement, a tip to a favorite takeout place, a donation to a local charity, an email to your favorite author, time with a pet, a walk outside, or a phone call to a loved one.

Starting here, this whole thread about Gul Dukat is on point, and ends with the real kicker that is relevant for today: we don't hate fascists ENOUGH. We need to hate fascists MORE.
honestly for me the obligatory kick-O'Brien episode became tiresome quickly, while the Dukat-Kira arc is dramatically compelling, influenced positively by the actors themselves, tells a complete story before the end of the show, and reinforces Dukat's irredeemability.
