   Vienna granted asylum to a spherical micronation in 1982, changed their mind, fought all the way to the supreme court, lost, then gave up.

   It's still sat in a public park and has 650 citizens.

   Ok, it powered up.

   It's a 3a XL.

   It's end-of-life but still works.

   In the eternal quest for increased revenue, YouTube is introducing a feature where rich people can like videos more than poor people, and I am about to throw up.

   It is called the hype button, and it is similar to the like button. But where likes are democratic, hypes are for pay, allowing rich kids to add as many hypes to videos as they can afford.

   This is Elon’s enshittification of Twitter all over again.

   Please criticize this feature and hit 👎 while it is free:

   I started playing Wingspan.

   I'm enjoying it a lot. It's a fun board game. It's complex enough to handle several different approaches, requires adapting to the cards you're dealt and making careful choices, but ultimately built on some fairly simple concepts and thus is fairly easy to pick up.

   It won't dethrone Splendor as my current go-to social game, but it's a darn good addition to my collection.

   Not horrible, just interesting.

   I just saw a post on Facebook. I never go on there, I was prompted as my stepdad is on there and wanted to check up.

   I read his post and just happened to look at one below. Typical Facebook "feels" shit that older people and Facebook types lap up.

   It was a heartwarming story about Robin Williams (lovely photos accompanying it) who took a cab ride in New York. The cabbie didn't recognise him, but they got into a conversation about how the cabbie used to love to play the saxophone. Robin encouraged him to follow his passion and left a decent tip (Robin still unrecognised). The cabbie went home and dusted off his sax and rekindled his love of playing music. A sweet story.

   I have questions. Unless Robin Williams followed the cabbie home, who actually witnessed this story? The cabbie was oblivious. I can only assume an omnipresent God posted this on Facebook.

   Duly, the replies were dewey eyed and gushing, but it made fuck all sense if you even vaguely question it.

   And this is why we are where we are.

   @Radical_EgoCom Essentially, they're a pressure release valve set to take just enough pressure off that nothing ever really has to get fixed to keep it from blowing up.

   It's always just on the edge of blowing up though so none of us are ever fully comfortable or secure and it keeps us in a permanent liminal state. We're never resting but also never moving in any particular direction.
