We should remember to pick our battles, and feeling furious about Mister Mouse’s actions indeed seems like a pointless waste of energy.
Honestly? He's not entirely wrong.
Like, I *could* get mad over the fact that they're making more movies in a series that got a proper conclusion 15 years ago,
or I could save our breath by just ignoring it, not seeing it, and moving on with my life.
And that latter option sounds more appealing.

Disney's decision to make a fifth Toy Story film has been defended by its director, who has said that fans of Pixar's original trilogy can simply "have that and never watch another if they don't want to." https://bit.ly/486MJxL

Ah, the look on Nixon’s face when he asks the Doctor ”will I be remembered?”
The worst part about contemporary times is there will be something objectively funny that happens regarding leadership and you're doused in the second hand embarrassment of future Generations laughing at you.

This. About artistic focus: ”the people I admire most just aren’t interested in things that take away from their ability to make stuff.”

”History has an echo. A ballroom over a bunker then and now, a symbol of power pretending it’s safety, and when the music starts, my friends, note this: we should listen not to the violins, but to the sound under the floor.”
Now we wait for the Führerbunker.

New: a $60 mod to Meta's Ray-Ban glasses disables the privacy LED light. This is supposed to light when people are filming with the glasses. We bought the mod, verified it works. Now you can never be sure whether someone wearing Meta Ray-Bans is filming you or not

Ah, fava beans. And wild greens. Made me think of Greece right away.
I did give subsistence farming a hard think after the kids and I went to see Grave of the Fireflies last month. If I had to, I think what I'd do is rip everything out and sow fava beans. Complete protein, multiple harvests per year + you can till the greens back in to keep the nitrogen cycle going.

after careful study, I believe only people born between 1975 and 1995 should be allowed to use the internet

I’m beginning to understand this lifetime isn’t enough for me to start enjoying running. I’m constantly trying to come up with something to replace it, last time I bought quad rollers. Tips are appreciated!
i started running every day a few years ago. while it started off awful & unenjoyable, i was determined to get into it. and let me tell you, after a lot of work, sacrifice, and perseverance, i can say with 100% sincerity that running is still absolutely the worst part of my day.
