It feels like if we're going to be abandoned by doctors and health insurance, chronic illness and pain people should have some kind of community resource other than mining Reddit for supplement advice and other suggestions.

I used to be skeptical about harmful starlink was to our night sky, but after spending this summer camping, I have to say that @sundogplanets has a point.

when you do dispersed camping in the middle of nowhere, you can see starlink satellites all over the place moving around with the naked eye.

it is actually kind of distressing. I don't know what to do about it.

what the fuck happened that resulted in this very badly-made movie

and how on earth is anyone afraid of this dumbass Nun???!!!!! THEY MADE MULTIPLE MOVIES ABOUT THE NUN?????!????

C1: some bad stuff happens, demon is real but tied to this specific land, Ed & Lorraine happen to be able to help, barely.

C2: a devil Nun SPECIFICALLY hates Lorraine enough to… entrap an old man’s ghost and use him to terrorize a family IN LONDON just to lure Lorraine and try to kill Ed???????

this week I watched The Conjuring (lots of cool ideas, pretty thoughtfully-made, bad that they blame it all on a witch but the rest was fun enough)

& The Conjuring 2 (the least ideas a movie has ever had, trash direction by the same guy, utterly embarrassing script and special effects)

wha happen

It’s HTML day! What will you make today?

If you’ve been putting off learning HTML, today is a great day to dive in. Just pull up @bw’s wonderful HTML for People and you’ll be building websites in no time at all.

well it’s hollywood facts and we’re going downtown — going to, inglewood now

@iryna I’ve read the first ~27 pages of “Fieldwork in Ukrainian Sex”! Really knocked me over, in a good way, with the immediate emotional intensity and detail. Just reporting that I am pleased with having started! (sometimes it takes me a while to finish a book as I ping around between topics)

have begun reading Mikhail Bakhtin’s “Problems of Dostoevsky’s Poetics”

please send thoughts if you’ve ever read

so far I’ve draw the little symbol for ”this chimes with Only Revolutions” about 20 times in the intro notes

“Previously, you had to spend human time each time you wasted another person's time. Maybe less time, like a couple of minutes to draft and send a letter versus a couple of days for the recipient to deal with it. Still, it used to put an upper bound on each organisation's time-wasting potential. There’s no longer such a bound: the marginal cost of wasting an hour of human life is zero.”

I feel this.

Reverse osmosis is when water tricks the salt out of you.

The reason I like low saturation base colours with a single high saturation feature colour goes back a way…

No thanks, I already have a supply of that.
