if you make a möbius strip out of double-sided tape, does it stop being double-sided?

If you think posting about alcohol or drugs without a content warning, please kindly fuck off and never show up on my timeline ever again.

It’s kinda weird that ENT (Ear, Nose, Throat) doctors in Germany have zero air filters installed in their waiting rooms, walk around without masks and complain about their employees calling in sick. Anyway. I was the only one wearing a mask and thankfully no one tried to discuss.

Hello, friend!

I have to say, in the successive wakes of big media companies losing licenses for and deactivating access to digital media (books, music, video), I'm thinking that if purchased licenses cannot legally be perpetual, what's to keep us from deciding not to respect copyright?

If I've licensed a shitload of digital media and I want perpetual private access, wouldn't torrenting and archive.org and other ways to get that content be at least morally/ethically right?

Note I haven't done anything like download torrents of all the movies, ebooks, and music that I've licensed through various media companies. But I sure am thinking about it. And thinking about whether I have local storage to support it. The cloud is "convenient" but not if they can take away my viewing permissions arbitrarily.

Every time I think about how much of the world’s most-used software runs on infrastructure wholly owned and operated by either Google or Amazon with no insight into that underlying infra, I get this feeling of creeping dread

Google ain’t just search, y’all
Amazon ain’t just a storefront

Those fucken goobers effectively control the world

Brazilian delivery workers have a new way to protect themselves: the bololô — an impromptu protest at the home of nasty customers, involving groups of workers driving around in circles, honking, chanting, and setting off fireworks

There were no image descriptions on the tumblr post I took the time to add them.

Good Monday morning, fellas.
