   I’ve just finished The Serpent and the Rainbow by Wade Davis, & there’s an excerpt I can’t stop thinking about.

   It’s about how ways of knowing are never neutral, never free. How every system sharpens certain understanding at the expense of others. And how, in pursuing clarity, we sometimes lose things and forget they were ever there.

   A short piece from me, and the excerpt itself. Take your time with it. Let it work on you.

   I really hate how American Christianity has basically just turned into white nationalism. That's not what Christianity is supposed to be about.

   It's supposed to be about going to church so you can gossip about your neighbors, and being weird about sex.

   I finally saw the episode of South Park everyone was going on about.

   It's probably one of their best ones in a long, long time.

   Still ... poor Satan ... always getting into these toxic relationships.

   Earlier today, the dog went on full alarm mode at the gate. Barking, snarling, warning of intruders. Kept on doing it! Couldn't figure out what he was going on about.

   It was a...er... fierce BEACH BALL... Neighbor's grandkids were over at their pool yesterday and a beach ball ended up over the wall, and it was in the street. Every time it would blow back and forth on the street, the dog would go into a frenzy!

   (walked him over there, let him smell the ball, and threw it back over the wall into their pool).

   I think this goes beyond "did you not understand Star Trek?" because this is people struggling with the general idea of an extremely famous & popular character, which they are pretending to care about.

   It's the same media/cultural literacy problem as always but magnified. Like "Superman is kind" is a very uncontroversial thing to say about the character. There have been some depictions that are not kind (thanks, Frank Miller & Zac Snyder), but in general that's one of his traits.

   Yeah, I know. I'm just saying, the Fedora team actually maintains it. It's not some orphaned package on Debian that nobody cares about.

   It's not just about $newthing, but about having something designed for power users and developers who don't want to spend a day manually installing things.

   I like to tinker, I used to build gentoo machines. That installation process doesn't give me a hit of dopamine anymore.

   It's about reducing technical debt.
