Barely anything in the chud and zoomer (one each), mostly just unc and gramp stuff. I'm not much for online persistence systems or gitgud grinding, so I think I'm slowly aging out of (mainstream) vidya.

    I like foods that are prepared to be bite-sized. Like if you are preparing food that is not able to fit into a human mouth, what are you even doing? Fingers, spoons or chopsticks should be all you need to tuck into some well prepared cuisine.

    This reminds me of the recent video about Lenin's What Is To Be Done. Very much the "economist" faction of demsoc doing basic practicality while making basically no effort to educate the masses against the predations of capital.

    maybe Xi told him about the proof-of-concept steel plant that generates energy from waste heat in China, and now he's got a great idea for a new multi-grift project

    the new mega-steel plant in Iowa will derive thermal energy from the waste heat of a new super-intelligence factory that will be built with federal funding at the same site

    E: this might be Trump doing the Atlas Shrugged meme, making super-intellegent steel for the lolbitarian memelords

    The Marines were not seriously injured, but they sustained smoke inhalation and possibly traumatic brain injuries, as they had symptoms of concussions, such as headaches, the officials said.

    When I learned that kids in the Netherlands refer to combustion vehicles as "farting cars", "farting bikes", etc, something clicked in my brain. Noisy and stinky is an apt comparison of traits compared to other forms of transportation.

    The synopisis: During the Covid pandemic, New York City created an Open Street on 34th Avenue in Jackson Heights and Corona, Queens — which was one of the city’s pandemic epicenter, where thousands died. The Open Street quickly became a lifeline to residents desperate to exercise or socialize in a socially responsible way. But even as the pandemic faded, residents quickly realized that the 34th Avenue Open Street had become an essential amenity in a neighborhood with among the lowest amount of park space per-capita.

    Quickly, neighborhood activists rallied and got the administration of then-Mayor Bill de Blasio to commit to a full buildout of the Open Street into its current configuration: Paseo Park, which, as its name suggests, is a 1.5-mile long promenade for cycling, strolling and just connecting with neighbors.

     

    Didn't know about this bit of history:

    veteran U.S. activist S. Brian Willson, who lost both legs in 1987 after being run over by a Navy ammunition train while protesting the shipment of arms to the Contras, and whom the Ronald Reagan administration once labeled a “domestic terrorist.”

    Jules Reidy makes song cycles which abstractly deal with devotional love, transcendence, and death of the self. They use materials such as guitars, voice, percussion and found sounds, deconstructing and augmenting them through non-standard tuning systems, polyrhythmic structures, electronic processing and spatialisation. They aim to express and invoke states of uncanniness, dissociation, dys/euphoria, imagination, and void.
