So 2 things:
1. What the fuck?
2. Okay that’s pretty cute.

I was sunning by the pool when the boxes arrived.
And here in my hand is my life’s work: “The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and the War On Democracy.”
Coming 8/18. Pre-orders make a huge difference! Make a fascist sweat—pre-order today!

@eff The freshrss container is a life saver. I just dump all my RSS feeds into it, organize them, and check it from whatever machine I'm on.

Democracy is about respecting the right of people to choose their own future.
Scotland deserves better than another Prime Minister who believes Westminster alone gets to decide when democracy is acceptable.

This is becoming increasingly the default among indie authors. Use Amazon as an anchor while building following on other platforms.
It takes time and patience, but works.
@JessMahler @revengeday @nlupo
Yes the first step seems to be to not take Amazon’s Prime offer to only sell stuff on their site
Suddenly you have options and, even if it cuts your Amazon profits, it gives you freedom to sell other places and be more creative with your work
if there’s cooperative multithreading, then why not also deathmatch multithreading

Viewing the "developed world" from the "developing world" is surreal af sometimes. #dwebcamp looks awesome! But how can a week of camping (even with the poor person discount) cost more then 3 months of all my living expenses (rent, food, etc) combined? Am I that poor? Or are yall that rich?
@axolotl the whole ticket situation was awful and not clear how it worked upfront. It should have been explicit in how the money was actually distributed. they brought a lot of people in from far away and those people basically got to participate for free. A lot of people payed the volunteer tix price of 189€ which required sorta an insane amount of work still which also is about 100€ more then I think it should have been.
You know a staffer made sure to have a copy of today's WaPo in his hand, even if off down in the corner to make this a kind of proof of life photo that doesn't quite look like a hostage proof of life photo.

Once we know he's dead, it's not BREAK NEWS anymore. He's still dead. See SNL and #FranciscoFranco

It is too hot to do anything productive (but oh maaaan I need to do some writing anyway). Apparently the heat index is 41 currently.
However, my melting brain needs to share that this video is way better if you yell-sing "New grass parade!" to RATM's "Bulls on Parade"
The dissonance is fantastical, though RATM is definitely music goats would like... (and that's probably what I should listen to while angry-writing about satellite pollution...)

I work in a large UK charity and help various teams with recruitment. If anyone puts golf on their CV in the hobbies and interests section I find a reason to reject them. Nobody needs that energy in the workplace.
