As usual, war is between the believers and those other believers.

As promised, my new animated video for “Driven By Desire”, my 2024 track about making art in the age of slop machines, is now available on my #PeerTube site 🥳

When they tell you
(and they will tell you)
that it is ridiculous
to care about viruses
in the midst of a war
calmly but firmly
try to remind them
that pestilence and war
ride together.

Iran: "The US will no longer be safe"

Motherfuckers, our cops hunt our own people for sport. Do your worst.

What is happening in #iran is a #holywar a #crusade with a modern lick of paint. It's always the same basic players. We have #EvangelicalChristians, #Zionist #Jews, attacking a #Muslim country, again. It's been just over 700 years since the Medieval Crusades, but here we are again with a bunch of religious fanatics trying to bring back their magic sky daddy through death and destruction. Oh, and to make a lot of money on the side, and kill people for fun and profit. And churches wonder why everyone is leaving them. Oh, as another bonus, they are hoping to distract everyone from the #EpsteinFiles. #EpsteinWar #atheism #religion

"well of course I know how to spell it, but why don't you just tell me?"

@neverbeaten I've had prescription bifocals I use for reading print and working on small stuff, but still have to use plain old readers for computer screens. The optometrists indicated that is very common.

@mark and how did all my stuff get to be "vintage"?

@GGMcBG It would be nice to see a couple more data bits in user profiles:

TIL that not everybody has read the bible on acid with futile hopes of a little extra enlightenment. Who raised you anyway?

As a kid, my parents gave me the choice of joining Boy Scouts or 4-H. And even back then the Scouts gave me creepy military indoctrination vibes. 4-H had its own issues for sure, but at least I got to work and play with girls, just like in real life.

@the_etrain
well sure, but 70's R&B was the best... or am I just stating the obvious?

Ever had to just rack your brain, and study for days or even years, and get frustrated and mad because you just don't get it, and maybe even are about ready to give up? But then all of a sudden something clicks, the light comes on and you finally get it?

yeah, I wish I could have one of those moments.

@feather1952 @msdropbear My family is full of rash exceptionalists, seeming to recognize the implications but it's "ok if _I_ fly all over the place, and besides I'm getting such great deals on air fares!"

(I am looking for new people to put in my will, no joke.)

I can get excited about some tools more than others

@samvarma
you would think, right?

I just had to go look up what that abOmniports stuff was all about, and I guess I have... been away from the pedals game for quite a while now.

There oughtta be a law.

Likely that most programmers working on this stuff are using large and multiple monitors, and may use corrective lenses as well. So I've been using 2 large screens, with glasses. And I still have a screen magnifier running all the time.
