people will say "did you know the creator of ... has a weird fetish" as if anything other than a weird fetish could possibly compel you to suffer through the creative process

There were parts of being a news curator that I really liked, and this is it.

Wiping your tools down before storing them away for the day, 10/10 experience, strong recommend.

Today I learned how how balance a tire! And halfway to removing/mounting them, a much more terrifying process. Also close to being able to do an alignment on my own.

Cohost allowed us to become aware of the silent battles we would've never heard of otherwise.
Cohost user quackintosh plus writes, "like 5 or 6 years ago i noticed that my neighbors across the parking lot from my apartment had put a trans pride flag and a pansexual pride flag in their window for pride month, so i decided to signal back to them by hanging up my asexual pride flag and my genderqueer pride flag in the same places. the next day when i got home from work they had responded to my signal by adding a pup play flag and an age play flag and, to be honest, if this was a competition, i lost.

never heard that rumor and apparently it's based off something vague courtney love said, then grohl and frances said it wasn't true and love later retracted what she said? i'm tired of everything.

i hate digger and i love how much i hate digger. i am going to see the movie again in two days with more friends. it is climate change freddy got fingered
'Digger' review
The first 20 minutes of the film set up a brilliant comedy that skewers our modern lives today. And then it spends about 2 hours making us feel awful for thinking the first 20 minutes were good, on purpose, over and over again. It is a joyless, colorless film that poorly parodies Citizen Kane and Dr.
Strangelove intentionally, making a mockery of essentially all modern American liberal political commentary and comedy. And a parody of a parody is interesting but uncomfortable and challenging to watch.A parody of Donald Trump today is neither funny nor poignant and the movie knows that. By the film's conclusion, you're left wondering whether spending big budgets to make climate films at all makes any sense. It
would be reductive as well to say the film inspires you to take on the actual
catastrophe outside, because its so confident in its future of doom that really, you're only left with a wordless unease about the idea of apocalypse fiction itself. To watch "Digger" is to experience a deeply miserable punk rock waste of more than one hundred million dollars, à la Freddy Got Fingered - but you will not laugh, unless you're laughing at yourself for being in the theater at all.I enjoyed Digger, and then I hated Digger, and then I enjoyed hate-watching Digger, and then I felt weird because the movie flat out told me to feel disgusting for enjoying hate-watching Digger, and to like hating myself, and I didn't want to listen to that part, and that's the point. Andy Kaufman couldn't have done it better. The Wolf of Wall Street tried to pull this trick and failed. Vice and Don't Look Up both tried to pull this trick and failed. So many other meta-media films have tried to do this recently and they're boring because they are entertaining. Digger is so boring, and frustrating, and uncomfortable, and that's why it works, and I hate that, too, which I also love.Digger will be a massive commercial flop and then go to streaming where it'll be remembered as a cult classic forever. I will watch this movie again and again, and I will find new things to hate to love and love to hate. I couldn't recommend it more highly to anyone who wants to see a piece of ridiculous high-budget avant garde mistakenly promoted as a mass appeal "dark comedy" because it stars Tom Cruise. And yet even the inaccurate PR is part of the point of Digger, to reel you in with precisely the bait it wants to chide you for taking.

Something I didn't appreciate about the Maryland Renaissance Faire until today is that they've been running a 30+ year real time performance of the life and wives of Henry VIII. They started with 1509 and every year the Faire bumps up another year.
