politics, privilege, liberals going "how could this happen"
I think the continued bafflement of liberals as to "how it could get this bad" is pretty easy to explain by looking at how it's almost always (relatively) privileged folks.
If you always believe that you are the most qualified person in the room, regardless of the subject, because you have never been told 'no' (which is common with privilege), then you're probably going to conclude that because *you* didn't see it coming, nobody else must have seen it coming either.
accident analysis
Looks like the accident report for the Jetline accident at Grona Lund came out - and there's a Coaster College video going over it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMh0imnNGck
(For those unfamiliar, Coaster College is pretty much the one channel that does in-depth and accurate analysis videos about ride accidents, with none of the sensationalism and hyperbole that you see on other channels)

So true! My family love to buy me three thousand gift packs of sledgehammer ice shower gel and burning factory deodorant each christmas.

ACAB
why deodorant marketed towards men always has to have some unpleasant sharp scent. "feminine" sticks are like "cherry blossom" or "papaya delight" or "lavender breeze" and "masculine" sticks be like RAW CONCRETE. ELECTRIFIED CEDARWOOD. CAFFEINATED ARMOR-PIERCING AMMUNITION

A Very Good Thing I've started doing is writing down all the stuff I need to do next week on Friday afternoon and then CLOSING THE NOTEBOOK AND DELETING IT ALL FROM MY BRAIN UNTIL MONDAY MORNING

We hebben van de @gemeentelv een paardekastanje gekregen en ze wilden er graag een bank uit hebben. Vandaag hebben we die stam gezaagd. Één van onze vrijwilligers gaat hem verder bewerken.

Hi, I'm Sharon and I care about de-shitting the world. My contribution to that effort: my anti-racism newsletter where I share my experiences of racism around the globe and platform Black founders and activists trying to redress inequality. I'm a former trade journalist, journalism lecturer and freelance writer. I have lived and worked in many places, and am currently in Barbados. I love reading (and no, it doesn't have to be highbrow), words, Star Trek and learning new things. #introduction

Houd fascisten van onze straten!
Op de dag na de Internationale Dag tegen #Racisme van 21 maart willen de neo-nazi’s door de straten van Baarn marcheren. Dat mogen we niet laten gebeuren, zeker niet nu we ook met een #extreemrechts kabinet zitten. Samen met andere organisaties organiseren we een tegenprotest en zeggen we: Geen haat in onze straat! Demonstreer mee!

Ah, the news is finally getting on the fact that the municipality of Amsterdam didn’t pay any invoice since the beginning of December. That’s really a shitshow happening there.
Today I learned that Servo has an excellent "AI" policy: https://book.servo.org/contributing.html#ai-contributions

EDIT: Fixed it. Updating my system solved it. 🤦♀️
Plasma broke for me yet again 😖
I had an issue where plasmashell would crash immediately as soon as I logged in, and part of the solution was to delete several Plasma configuration files (in ~/.config and ~/.local/share).
Sadly, this made the Window Decoration I was using completely break (see attached image + alt text). I already tried removing and reinstalling it, to no avail. And it's ONLY that deco that broke - others still work.

“‘read, write, own’ web” - "Those who don’t remember the web before platforms, tend to believe that for 10 years web users stared at their monitors in anticipation. Actually they were made to believe it. First by Web 2.0 proponents, and nowadays by aggressive Web3 campaigns that rewrite the history by stating that Web1 was a dull, passive, read only place.”

Happy captain james cook getting what he deserved Day!
british colonizer captain cook was killed by Native Hawaiians on this day in 1779. cook, whose men spread disease & used violence against Native Peoples for rejecting his rule, was stabbed to death for trying to kidnap the ruling chief of Hawai'i, Kalani'ōpu'u.
*Just reminding folks that Native Hawaiians have asked that commercial travel cease to their islands due to environmental disasters brought on by colonialism.*

Alternatives to calling someone or something "crazy" when they're doing fascism.
instead of "crazy" → fascist
instead of "lunatic" → fascist
instead of "schizo" → fascist
instead of "psycho" → fascist
instead of "bipolar" → fascist
instead of "schizo" → fascist
instead of "insane" → fascist
f you must vary your language (and who doesn't want to!), instead of using mental illness diagnoses, say:
erratic
bizarre
weird (a good one!)
ludicrous
outrageous

I've been thinning out my record collection, and these have to go.
This is mostly easy listening I pulled together for a festival chillout/cafe tent project that never got off the ground.
There's also some 80/90s pop in there, 12" singles, but a few now albums etc, some kids novelty records...
Nothing with much resale value.
Seems a shame to send it to the tip, but splitting/selling it is omgsomuchwork
If anyone wants the whole lot, and can collect from #Bristol (UK) let me know!
Dan plaats je een reactie op een video over fietsongelukken dat de gegevens van het CBS laten zien dat het probleem bij auto's ligt, en dan gaan er meerdere(!) mensen reageren met "het ligt aan de elektrische fietsen", die dus duidelijk zelf niet naar de CBS-data gekeken hebben...
Dat propagandapraatje over hoe gevaarlijk elektrische fietsen wel niet zijn is toch wel heel effectief gebleken, hoor.

Contrary to centrist propaganda, "going down fighting" is actually noble AF and accomplishes a great deal.

Saved and liberated the books I "bought" at Amazon for my Kindle. Amazon will stop offering the "Download & transfer via USB" option, so I have downloaded all 210 books. After downloading, I hunt them through Calibre and a certain plugin to remove the DRM stuff, convert the books to EPUB format so I have my private backup and can put them on a new ebook reader that is more open than the Amazon walled garden. And in future I will buy my eBooks someplace else. #ByeAmazon
