Merry Hexmas everyone!

some days you’re the robot, some days you’re the dog,

and other times you just happen to be a raccoon with a surplus ghetto blaster

I liked it as well, go watch it

o_O

it’s real but it was hackers commandeering the projectors

edit: or maybe not, I bothered looking up a Berlin newspaper article talking about it, and apparently it’s a screengrab from a fake video. The two cop cars under the gate do look fishy / duplicated

Last of Us was good
Halo is generally pretty well received, though I felt it was sorta mid (but enjoyable enough, I guess)

this just reminded me, amazon is still doing that Disco Elysium show I believe

How dare you, dithering is the People’s Blur

I’m pretty happy with Podcini, it’s FOSS and does all I need
Also supports importing lists of podcasts, though I’m not sure it does patreon feeds at all, you’d have to check

I’m gonna miss them and I hope this wasn’t the last we’ve heard from them… Kyle already mentioned he may be on the other emancipation network shows on occasion and I’m looking forward to that. Hope for June the job’s worth it, sounds like a stressful gig but all the best with that too.

I really am gonna miss em tho

oh no, what’s this now…

are they really ending it, I gotta listen

I definitely wouldn’t recommend smoking in that case, but vaping you could try if you make sure the vape is not getting too hot. If you do vaping right it’s basically warm, spicy mist - still may make you cough, but could be manageable if you’re careful. The effect is a lot more immediate from vaping, is the only reason I’d at least consider it in your case. You can also try ingesting it orally for a slower uptake, though I’m not sure what a good dosage or way would be for you. Can’t really OD on CBD though, so don’t stress it too much. If you go that way just beware, there are a lot of snakeoil products out there with CBD. I’d try going for a basic oil extract from a reputable vendor that ideally also sells whole flower, that should give you a pure, reliable, versatile solution for oral ingestion. You could put it on food or even bake with it (I think), take it any way you would ingest oil. Alternatively, you can solve it in alcohol, but I don’t think that’s a great idea for your use case.

There’s probably also CBD in pill form some way or other, I’m sure

have you heard of medical marijuana

could probably unironically help you reduce your dosage but don’t expect miracles obviously. Try vaping some herb, maybe it helps. If you don’t wanna get high, try pure CBD strains.

lemons are great for this. You don’t need all of it, just the skin. press the lemon and enjoy the juice, put the skins on the glass rack and you’ll have a fresh lemon flavor when opening the door. needs replacing every other wash or so (they get hard and stop smelling)

in addition to just getting off earlier, you can also try to filter some of the blue light / glare from your screens towards the evening. The most popular sunset simulation redshift thingy is probably flux and I recommend giving it a shot. Might help you get tired more easily

It’s not a magic bullet or anything, but I find it relaxing for my eyes at least and it might help your sleep too

hoplophobia

talk about medicalizing/pathologizing your political enemies

In 1997, Cooper wrote that he coined the term hoplophobia in 1962 “in response to a perceived need for a word to describe a mental aberration consisting of an unreasoning terror of gadgetry, specifically, weapons.”

In 1991, Cooper wrote in Guns & Ammo magazine that “no more than five to ten people in a hundred who die by gunfire in Los Angeles are any loss to society. These people fight small wars amongst themselves. It would seem a valid social service to keep them well-supplied with ammunition.” In 1994, Cooper said “Los Angeles and Ho Chi Minh City have declared themselves sister cities. It makes sense: they are both Third World metropolises formerly occupied by Americans.”

This video has the tea on Indian fascism.

Hindutva is a sort of restoration project of the caste system (largely financed and steered by members of historically elite castes) and it has been going since Scientific Racism times

you just gotta take the whole lane bro, take space like a car

then abolish roosters as well

I was playing around with stable diffusion for like a day and tried to generate a surveillance cam overgrown with moss. It just wouldn’t do it, and I ended up with a bunch of pictures of trees overgrown with moss that have cams on them. The surveillance-machine-fed machine can’t imagine the surveillance machine being overgrown but it can readily imagine the surveillance machine growing on the overgrowth. I found it poetic how radically limited the creativity of the new, supposedly radical creativity machine turned out to be. Still looked kinda cool, so I rolled with it and now I’m used to it.
