99% of my time fucking around with emulators, front ends, and legacy games that require wrappers, emulators, and interpreters is setting them, making them look nice, making sure they're stable and work as soon as I hit play, then moving on to set up the next thing. it's a disease

Adorno & Horkheimer proven right again & again: Marx is constantly getting viciously re-philosophized (in this case as naive structuralist-ish social ontologist) by interpreters trying to save him from philosophy

What we are looking for is something within the system that could plausible make higher level interpretations. If such interpretations require external interpreters, then it's not what we are after.

The lack of leadership lies in always presenting "unavoidable" compromises as meritorious acts of "putting the greater good first." Working families need defenders, not interpreters.

Kevin Lowery was a member Baltimore Leather Association of the Deaf. He was an advocate for ASL interpreters and founded the Mid-Atlantic Deaf and Interpreter Fund for LGBT events. Lowery taught sign language classes at the Pride Center.
![[On November 10th the Mid-Atlantic Leather community lost Sir Kevin Lowery who worked to make sure that LGBT events were welcoming and accessible to the deaf community.
I have known Kevin for many years and would see him often. He was a member of the Leather club BLADeaf (Baltimore Leather Association of the Deaf) and for a short time wrote a Leather column for the Baltimore Gay Life newspaper under the name Sir K.
He taught sign language classes at the GLCCB (now the Pride Center of Maryland). He was also the sign language interpreter for countless LGBT events.]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:iyfco36opjofallgh4axztsd/bafkreibwqmcwzw7w2rhceexsxwmjs2ryzzalpvvx64f67ehmjbfmnkezru@jpeg)

We made a promise to the Afghan allies who served with our troops: if you have our back, we'll have yours.
