Like seriously what was I thinking owning a vintage unwifi'd ereader and not using it, just using my phone instead

🦝 Let's settle down and have a nice read of a long book! Gee, I sure hope I don't get distracted from this book, for example by a distraction machine, much like the one that I'm holding in my hand right now, and staring at,

I gotta do like a Big Thread about this sometime on my blog that I don't have, but for now I've gotta say, Actually Making The Effort to use the e-reader rather than my phone for reading books has paid me dividends in Chill

Oh dang! So many good memories circa 2009.

Add it to the graveyard of stuff Microsoft destroyed. :P

I mean, Google has a graveyard of things they removed/discontinued, and things that never caught on.

But only Microsnot could spend billions to buy something that was thriving and then just smear it into the asphalt like that.

they're shutting Skype down.

so long and thanks for all the ~ BLOOP-BLUOP doot-dit BLUOP-BLOOP dit-doot ~

Time to reshare I think. “I don’t want my portraits to hang in your offices, because the president is not an icon or an idol. Hang pictures of your children there and look them in the eyes before every decision” – Volodymyr Zelensky

Remember when it comes to cops Shut the Fuck Up.

Yes, you may still get arrested but cops can basically arrest anyone for any reason, shutting the fuck protects yourself so when the cop has to actually prove something you haven't hurt yourself.

Also don't consent to a search.

If you're feeling helpless right now watching the country collapse around us, this video by @adamconover might bring you some hope.

It's time for some of us to leave our comfort zones and get loud.

Here's a quote from it that I absolutely loved:

"Average people have been getting squashed by bullies like Trump and Musk since the founding of this country and the only way we ever stopped them was by kicking their asses. But we didn't do that by keeping small, and staying safe, and playing Stardew Valley while we waited for our next chance to vote in four years, we did it by fucking shit up."

I’m so fucking done with all of this. The worst part is that I have no privilege to close my eyes and walk away, as my family is under constant shelling for the past 3 years, with 1 person already taken by the ruzzian aggression that the west is so impotent to stop.

No idea what to do. Of course I have no choice but to continue what I’m doing, continue to support my people and my family, continue to oppose the terrorist state of ruzzia, and all of that.

But I wish I had options. I wish the states of burgerreich and ruzzia would fucking implode with as much riots and violence in the government buildings as possible so they never pose any threat to anybody.

World order is no more, UN means nothing, NATO means nothing, international laws mean nothing.

All I can do at this point is to wish, and to hope.
