Allow me to give a big 🤦🤦‍♀️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️🤦 and an even bigger 🤡 🤡 🤡 to the people of the Bay Area Anarchist Bookfair who decided to require masks…. ONLY FOR THE FIRST 90 MINUTES of an all day event. What in tarnation was the thought process here?????? How did y’all manage to fuck up this soft toss even more than most normie events do?? The only analogue I’ve seen to this is a business that has one day a week as a mask required day… I think it’s ok to hold a bookfair about liberation to a higher standard than that. Especially because there will presumably be different offerings throughout the day.

I hope someone who’s out there can go and hand out some flyers with other event guidelines, like

“Please do not assume other people’s gender identity or pronouns, except before 2pm”

“Racism, sexism and homophobia will only be tolerated before ten o’clock”

“There is an elevator, however, after Noon we ask all attendees with limited mobility to suck it up and try to use the stairs. Aides will be provided to assist you in crawling up and down.”

My bully wife drank an entire cholula bottle in front of me and made me cry

I get kinda drowsy and sick after a shot, but I am going to make a nice cajun seasoned rice and beans dish and feel nice and snug until it goes away.

something about the pharmacists saying "bless you" to each other and sneezing without masks during a respiratory virus pandemic really screams medieval

linux users teaching windows users how to pirate and dual boot a debloated activated windows LTSC with a selection of trustworthy base application recommendations is harm reduction.

vividlope is SO good by the way. very fun, has strong arcade vibes similar to Super Monkey Ball, and the gameplay is generally just a chaotic mess. but like, in the best way

Completely Useless Legislation, Exhibit A:

Hungary has a new law that students have to surrender their phones at school. The phones have to be locked up, hauled around in safety boxes by teachers etc. Students get them back at the end of the day.

A friend of mine teaches high school. He noticed that when students get their phones back, they don't even turn them on, just toss them in their bag.

Decoy phones.

Seriously, no one thought about this?...

Random bright LEDs on charger bricks and cables and random cheap electronics accessories are so irritating. I really value being able to have a dark room when I turn off the lights. Do other people not have issues in a room full of blinkenlights and pulsating LED strips? Is sleeping with lots of annoying lights on around you 24/7 being so normalized that manufacturers don't even realize this is an anti feature?

I have to take the time to tape over, or otherwise obscure the LEDs whenever they are where people sleep (which is most rooms in my tiny place). It is infuriating and makes it look like cheap crap that is half-broken from day-one after getting it.

I am including a poll. Does this bother you too? Do you see a utility in these weird lights? Do you not mind lights being on while you sleep? Falling asleep with a TV or monitor on would be in the same category of not minding these lights in my mind. Reply if you disagree or have more nuance to include.
