Plus planes.

I think the consensus is don’t do it.

That’s a valid and useful thought.

Avoid news. Turn off internet. Literally, stop looking for like two weeks. The difference is palatable. I’ve used this technique a handful of times over the years.

A particle on an object.

Those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it. Those who know history are doomed to know it’s repeating.

It’s the second part that makes this otherwise well know phrase hit much closer to home for me.

Yes, one of the few places that I get updates on current events that make me laugh. Probably the funniest show I listen to, at this point.

Q went away except for a few random posts around December or January 2020-2021 (can’t recall). A documentary series on HBO seemed to point to Ron Watkins as likely Q. He ran for some office and did very poorly. Q wasn’t needed anymore, but the destruction to families remained in its wake.

QAA podcast continues to study bizarre right-wing conspiratorial thinking (it’s quite entertaining and usually pretty funny when not saddening). There was a book published recently about specific case studies of people whose lives were destroyed by the movement and where they are now, The Quiet Damage, by Jesselyn Cook. There are other books on the subject, including Trust the Plan, by Will Sommer.

Our society will continue experiencing real-world harm because of the radicalization of Q supporters for years, I’m sure.

I use public@mydomain. Hasn’t negatively affected me. I created a burner Gmail account for a Google Meet interview and then tossed it aside after. I’ve been hired for two jobs in eight years using the public@ address.

At the beginning of the pan, someone was selling nudes to cover expenses. I think I sent twenty bucks because I could and she was cute and whatever. But then the person started messaging me about trying to get more money (for her and her sister) and it just felt like a scam and I became very cynical about it.

Btw, I slept funny last night and I have a neck cramp. Please send money. /s

Bernie is an independent who ran as a dem only for them to kneecap his campaign.

Nothing.

Fantastic. Got the opportunity to see them live in 2022 and it was a great show. Didn’t think I’d ever have the opportunity.

Yes, and that ultimately may happen, but Tim Cook is a capitalist and wants to keep selling devices there if he can. We’ll see how the UK gov responds before we find out the end outcome.

Try it and see.
