I keep seeing friends who aren't thrilled that Word is newly enshittified. At the risk of sounding like one of Those Guys, there is a magnificent, full featured, entirely free alternative called Libre Office that works on all platforms. I've used it exclusively for over a decade.

Good work with the Emergency Naked Bike Ride. Now deploy the 3rd Pink Unicorn Brigade and hold the 101st Super Hero Cosplayers in reserve. Tell the DJ to play some sick beats.

Notice how Trump will do anything to avoid releasing the Epstein files … that were on their desks ready to be released on Day One? Then didn’t exist? Then Congress released some of them … even though they didn’t exist .. but they did on Day One?

Don't blame migrants for the housing crisis, blame the millionaires
While fascists scapegoat migrants, it’s the landlords and politicians hoarding wealth who are fuelling the housing crisis.

After over 25 years of using Photoshop, and even co-authoring a book on it, I'm moving to GIMP as Adobe have just doubled the price of the subscription. They join Netflix in the bin, with Microsoft 365 and Plex to go soon as well.

I’m so glad that Howard is still alive to see his life’s work dismantled piece by piece. His toxic politics have poisoned a generation, he will be forgotten. Live long Johnny, live long.
