   Turns out the sun down was just an eclipse, after which the machine turns back on and the Selenites wake up.

   In a bit of foreshadowing, we see a lens directing the sunlight to the machine.

   OK, *this* is an important point. Characters in #TheLordOfTheRings are constantly "despairing", but to despair is not necessarily to give up.

   In the story we see *three* reactions to despair. Frodo, Faramir - in fact, most of the principle cast - each feel a sense of hopelessness at some point, but continue to push forward. Some characters are overwhelmed and do nothing - this is Theoden, when we first meet him. And some actively subvert the heroes - see Denethor and Saruman.

   #Russia Pozdnyakov mil-blogger

   Our boys nicely screwed the ZSU base in Sudzha. I had orgasm.

   Update: this is Toropets in Tver oblast’. Sorry, didn’t check. Partial evacuation was announced, that’s fucked up.

   In Telegram jargon it’s a phenomenon known as “4:19 4:20” reflecting timestamps of another similar Russian mil-blogger in the past. At 4:19 he reported something like “haha here’s Ukrop turned into mince meat, die bitch” only to publish a 4:20 update “sorry, that was our guy, eternal memory brother”.

   Encouraging for #climate:

   97% of new US power plants are carbon-free. The US is pretty much only building #cleanenergy these days, & mostly solar & batteries -but the pace still needs to pick up.

   In the 1st half of this year, developers & power plant owners built 20.2 GW of electricity gen. capacity, a 21%⬆️from the 1st half of last year.

   The majority of new capacity added this year is from solar, battery storage, wind, & nuclear projects.

   I knew this series was going to be yuri the moment the gay roommate showed up.

   In the west a straight woman having a gay roommate has been a trope since will and grace. but Japan never got will and grace so the opposite is true.

   @thomasfuchs I have too many computer projects that I should get to. If I come across one locally, I won't pass it up.

   In addition to the nostolgia there's also a bit of regret in not understanding what I had until it was gone: an Apple IIgs Woz with a memory expansion card, matching drives, a modem, and ImageWriter II printer.

   For me, that IIgs will have to live in the past along with my IBM 5150, Mac Classic, and beige G3 that was running Linux made from scrounged parts I found in the trash.
