The boast of heraldry, the pomp of power,
And all that beauty, all that wealth ever gave,
Awaits alike the inevitable hour.
The paths of glory lead but to the grave.
-Thomas Gray 1751

It's over, my wife saw my phone and found out I have been cheating. I forgot to clean the grated cheese from the drive-thru tacos I ate without her off my screen.

discovering that fewer cybertrucks have been sold than Sinclair C5s has amused me greatly. and honestly, if you want to drive a weird vehicle, the C5 is far more fun.
@pattykimura Wait until you try Admiral Togo's tacos.

Arrêtez de nourrir le cochon. Le cochon mangera jusqu'à ce qu'il n'y ait plus rien. Quand il n'y aura plus rien, la Terre pleurera jusqu'à ce que votre terre soit sous l'eau. Lorsque votre maison est sous l'eau, le cochon ne vous accueille pas. Arrêtez de nourrir le cochon et nous pourrons rester dans nos maisons et la terre cessera de pleurer.
توقف عن تغذية الخنزير. سيأكل الخنزير حتى لا يبقى شيء. عندما لا يتبقى شيء ستبكي الأرض حتى تصبح أرضك تحت الماء. عندما يكون منزلك تحت الماء ، لن يرحب بك الخنزير لزيارتك. توقفوا عن إطعام الخنازير ويمكننا أن نبقى في منازلنا ، وتتوقف الأرض عن البكاء.
Deja de alimentar al cerdo. El cerdo comerá hasta que no quede nada. Cuando no quede nada, la Tierra llorará hasta que su tierra esté bajo el agua. Cuando su casa está bajo el agua, el cerdo no lo invitará a visitar. Deja de alimentar al cerdo y podemos quedarnos en nuestras casas, y la Tierra deja de llorar.
停止餵豬。 豬會吃東西，直到一無所有。 當一無所有時，地球將哭泣，直到您的土地被淹沒為止。 當您的房屋被水淹沒時，豬將不會歡迎您的光臨。 停止餵豬，我們可以待在家裡，而土地也不再哭泣。
Хватит кормить свинью. Свинья будет кушать, пока ничего не останется. Когда ничего не останется, Земля будет плакать, пока ваша земля не окажется под водой. Когда ваш дом находится под водой, свинья не приветствует вас в гости. Прекратите кормить свинью, и мы сможем остаться в наших домах, а Земля перестанет плакать.

PSA for people who have moved off of Substack: be sure to check the URL you were using from time to time.
Earlier this week, I found someone impersonating a well-known reporter on Substack. The reporter had moved to a new platform. Someone else swooped in, obtained the Substack URL the reporter had been using and was posting in their name.
I found the site because it was still in my RSS feed. One option is to keep the retired Substack URL in an RSS reader to monitor if any new posts published there.

When corruption is the basis of your society, all your institutions will be rotted out, all your infrastructure will be crumbling, and most of the population will be aggrieved and strained past their limits. It’s an unsustainable situation to keep skimming off the top for a few. Eventually there’ll be nothing more to steal. But they’ll lay waste to the Earth before they stop.

The BEST use of White Privilege is using that privilege to AMPLIFY the voices of others and providing PROTECTION by standing IN FRONT.
@BE I totally get it. The worst ones are the disingenuous questions that are not asked because they want an answer, but are asked because they want you to waste your time answering when they won't even listen to the answer anyway.
For those of us who try to base our beliefs on evidence, it seems obvious to explain that evidence to the uninformed, but it doesn't always work like that and that's why you get stressed out.
One way to enable the genuinely curious to grow and learn, while at the same time deflecting the disingenuous, and saving yourself some stress, is a technique known as #StreetEpistemology
Here is a very short video of how it works. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASn-VdevwTE&t=2s
