Below you will find three versions of Headband Song. Oddly enough, the person that inspired this song was never known to wear a headband. Since I wrote this one many moons ago, You’ll have to settle for me!
Attorney General Ken Paxton launched an investigation into Beto O’Rourke’s radical organization, Powered by People, for unlawful activity, including potentially operating an illegal financial influence scheme to bribe runaway Democrats who fled Texas…
god they are stupid: "There's no specific treatment for hand-foot-and-mouth disease. Most people get better in 7 to 10 days. But certain medicines can ease pain and general discomfort in the meantime." - From Mayo Clinic
In its latest postcard from Mars, the European Space Agency’s Mars Express returns to Acheron Fossae: a dramatic network of chasms carved into the surface of the Red Planet.
At this point, the proper response to anyone criticizing Trump's tariffs is to point and laugh. There is zero chance that Congress will ever vote to give up $30 BILLION per month in revenue. Even if the Democrats win, the tariffs are permanent. x.com/EricLDaugh/status/195319…
There was a stretch of time around 2019 and into 2020 when it felt like we were living in a genuinely global revolutionary moment. The Sudanese Revolution toppled Omar al-Bashir. Palestinians marched on the Gaza boundary wall. There were mass protests in Iraq and Iran, Chile and Hong Kong. Donald Trump had to hide in the White House bunker.
Of course, elites and reactionaries around the world weren’t sitting quietly, ready to give up. They decided to mobilize their own global reaction, the fascist wave we’re living through right now. The genocide in Gaza. The civil war in Sudan. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Orban and Erdogan, the rise of Farage and the AfD, and on and on and on.
I think that’s the frame that helps make decisions like “the Trump administration cutting funding for food for starving people and research into mRNA vaccines and disappearing hair stylists and kidnapping tourists and imposing absurd tariffs” make the most sense.
The US of 2020 was too big, too diverse, too unruly for capitalist elites to truly feel comfortable.
So they’re settling on a smaller, poorer, more homogenous US that they believe will be more obedient.
It’s a trade-off: they can try to control a bigger pie, with more risk of being overthrown, or a smaller pie, that’s easier to dominate.
All of these things that make liberals scratch their heads—nonsensical, random, seemingly self-defeating policies—make sense from the fascist perspective.
They’re culling the herd. Weeding the garden.
JFK Jr wants sick people to die. Stephen Miller wants to expel every brown person in the country. Trump wants to control or shut down every university. No more tourists, no more scientific discoveries, no more foreign trade.
Smaller, poorer, dumber, weaker, less diverse. They saw what people could do in 2020 and don’t want to face that same fear again.
There's a reductive materialist idea that all these apocalyptic beliefs are just masks for simple greed. But while ideologies have material bases, the ideologues believe what they're saying.
Fascists would rather rule in Hell than serve in Heaven (being unable to imagine a paradise where nobody rules and thus nobody is servile either).
So they'd rather burn the world, annihilate every forest, kill every bird and fish and bug, torture and starve billions, fighting for a chance to get the biggest and best throne from which to rule the rubble. They'd rather kill us all for a shot at getting to rape children on a big boat with some champagne and caviar, than just fucking chill and take a nice gay space communism train to a nice lush gay space communist library in the zero G food forest and party with us in the awesome ways we'd ALL enjoy much better.
This is what the One Percent has been doing now for generations: manipulating people en masse to pull them back from, keep them from crossing the line into, actual revolution. They learned how to do this from psychologists and experimentation.
Before Nathan Jermyn could dig into the legal frameworks at NASA, he had to answer a different call. Jermyn participated in a one-day orientation in the summer of 2023 to begin work as an attorney-advisor supporting NASA’s Stennis Space Center and the NASA Shared Services Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. However, the Biloxi, Mississippi, […]

Formaldehyde is not an artificial preservative. It is also produced by the human body and we require small amounts of it to live. It is a product in the important process of the methane cycle.
Outside of niche research chemicals, one of the most dangerous psychoactive drugs is datura, also known as deadly nightshade. It's a delierient in the same class as PCP. It's commonly said that using one seed's worth will cause you to black out and wake up in either the hospital or jail, if you wake up at all, and it's fully legal to grow in your windowsill.
Comrade this is wrong, Datura en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datura IS a psychoactive plant, but it is not "deadly nightshade" aka Belladonna en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atropa… . They are in the same order, though. It's the same family that also contains potatoes and tomatoes and other food crops, there is a great variety of safety levels in the solanaceae.
Datura is correctly not to be fucked with casually, but I've seen landscaper dudes roll up a leaf and smoke it and keep doing thier thing. There are a lot of bad trip stories but I would not use the DARE-level scare language for it.
@Hoggrim 🐗 Right, sorry, yes, deadly nightshade is a different plant. I was thinking of nightshades as a group.
The language I'm using is coming from talking with psychonauts, not any anti-drug program. Support groups for people who use recreational substances talk about the benefits and dangers openly, and datura is frequently placed atop lists of the most dangerous substances one can take. The leaves are less psychoactive than other parts of the plant, particularly the seeds.
When I set up #Proxmox VE I installed all my nodes with stupid partitioning and now the new version is out and I don't have enough space on root to install the update. I also named my ZFS pool "zfs" like a dumb dumb. I have to reinstall to fix my partitioning so I can update and while I'm there I want to use the default, sensible, ZFS pool name of "rpool".
Problem is all my VM's have a storage called "zfs" in their config files and I don't want to edit all of them and I don't want the name of the storage to differ from the name of the ZFS pool. I also don't want any downtime so I don't want to back up and restore the whole lot. My firewall is a VM, it sounds like a pain. Plus my firewall is a VM so if I re-create the cluster from scratch and restore the VM's I have a lot of networking config to re-import.
I mulled all this over for two hours tonight before remembering I have shared storage so none of this matters. Shift the VM's to that, reinstall one node at a time (restoring cluster config as I go), done.
@apicultor On the one hand, that's what a homelab's for. But on the other I have a lot of important (to me and my wife) stuff running on it and I'm about to go on holiday for two weeks. This job still needs doing, but I might install 8.4 then it's ready for an in-place upgrade when I get back. Or just go straight to 9.0. I haven't decided yet. I like shiny new things.
Whenever Glasgow dresses up as comic-strip New York, I'm fascinated by the difference between the details they need to get right on the ground and the details they can presumably fix in post.
I'm losing weight, slowly, but I'm losing. I'm not going to convert pounds to kilograms anymore, because it seems like a lot of pounds, and then I convert them to kilograms and it's not as much as I thought, and then I get sad. I have to be careful not to obsess. The nutritionist told me I'm almost on the verge of having an eating disorder after I explained some things to her. It's hard to fight your own brain

Any state that can not prove that every vote is cast by a United States citizen should not have their votes counted for any federal offices. And any Senators or Representative they send to DC should be under similar rules as the Representatives from Puerto Rico and DC. Non-voting seats.

The slot machines and party music literally begin in the airport terminal of your arrival.
Book a decent hotel room, preferably on a high floor, and this will sound silly, but: practice your exit to your hotel room at least once before you start hitting your limit.
Every corner of every building here is designed to be disorienting to you, so having that path in recent memory will help greatly when it’s time to bail for a bit.

Forgot I'd drawn this until someone sent it to me asking for permission to reproduce it which they don't need because it's explicitly free culture. Subject is still very apt for me 14 years later. mimiandeunice.com/2011/05/16/t…

We've reached the point in the move where I'm freaking out, just a little. I've delegated some to the boys, but it feels like there's still a lot for me to do.
The Israeli cabinet is poised to approve a plan for the complete occupation of the Gaza Strip on Thursday, despite military hesitations regarding the potential consequences of such an action.
I like high caloric food a lot, so I try to keep my caloric demand high. I find it easier than having to keep myself from eating
