If there's a silver lining for me in *all this*, it's that people are finally talking about the profound damage caused by being obsessed with Armageddon, especially to those who grow up with it. There's a part of my brain which will never heal.

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs) Good tech. Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales) Bad tech.

I note with concern that my voice, which has been gone for about 8 weeks, has only just started to improve in the last week. 7 weeks of good behaviour, water and veggies. One week of hoovering up sugar and eating crap, and now it gets better. I think my body may have ODD (or just IS odd).

So, hypothetically, if you were to make a solo-cup-in-chain-link-fence message over an overpass, you’d be putting in the letters backwards. And, again hypothetically, you might want a template for that. Hypothetically.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

Ever since the announcement of the No Kings protests, I'd thought something along these lines would be a good placard to run with. I was thinking an image of Lebron in a crown, with the slogan 'America's only king'. This is good too. #NoKings
A picture of a placard which reads "There is only one king in this country & his name is Lebron".

Ok, I keep getting asked about how to complain about Kimmel.
The best way to complain that will have the biggest impact?
See if you have a Sinclair or nexstar station in your area.
2. Watch the local newscast tonight or some time this week.
3. Note the companies that bought tv adverts.
4. Call them and let them know you will boycott them until they quit supporting that media company.
Trust me. I worked in tv for 45 years.
Nothing you do will have greater impact.

I’m from Louisiana, and this has been spreading again on facebook because of the fire (if anyone is interested in a plantation that doesn’t do the wedding shit)
A post on facebook from Whitney Plantation from 2020 that says:

Why we Don’t Allow Weddings 
Over 350 people were enslaved at Whitney Plantation throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. Our tour has always focused on the brutal labor and stolen freedom of those that created vast economic wealth for the enslaving families. We do not glamorize the Big House or the grounds. In addition to our mission to educate visitors and the larger community about slavery and its legacies, our site is a place of memory and reverence. Our on-site memorials list the names of individuals who were enslaved at Whitney, individuals who were enslaved throughout Louisiana, children who died during enslavement, and a memorial for the revolutionaries of the largest US slave revolt. For these reasons, the Big House has never been nor ever will be a wedding venue.
Plantations are sites of immense cruelty and violence. We do not allow any event that would overshadow this reality and disrespect the memory of all those who suffered, labored, and died here.
