Food for thought from David Rothkopf:
"One of the most important jobs we face in life is distinguishing between what is real and what is not.
It is American capitalism, as it is practiced here in all its Darwinian law of the jungle brutality, that is killing American democracy.
Many other societies offer a better quality of life. Many other countries provide more generously and wisely for their people. Many other countries are better democracies."

“Living life as an artist is a practice.
You are either engaging in the practice
or you’re not.
It makes no sense to say you’re not good at it.
It’s like saying, “I’m not good at being a monk.”
You are either living as a monk or you’re not.
We tend to think of the artist’s work as the output.
The real work of the artist
is a way of being in the world.”
― Rick Rubin, The Creative Act: A Way of Being
The one pointing the gun at the other ones head is the toxic one.
The one under threat for living life is not.
It's not rocket science.
This is the dark theme in @libreoffice. I kid you not.
It turns the background of the page black, but does not change the colour on font in which you type to a light (despite it being set to "automatic"), so you type black on black. Genius.
Also, uhh, the theme isn't dark, in case you weren't sure.
is it just me or is macOS Sequoia 15.3.1 _the_ single worst, most unstable macOS released since OS X came out?
Because holy shit. I'm having to do a full system restart like every two days. Or day and a half.
How do you break PNG handling? How does it suddenly take multiple _minutes_ to resize a large PNG in preview? How does it take nearly an entire minute to RENDER THE FUCKING IMAGE TO FULL RESOLUTION while you're scrolling around in a big PNG?
How does _TextEdit_ hang? How does TEXTEDIT hang SO HARD that you have to power-button-down the OS?
Firefox is sucking too but I don't know if it's Sequoia's fault or not.
It's really affecting my ability to get shit done.
Blaming the players, eh? Or didn't the mighty Yankees want to pay the estate/label for their copyright after losses to save a buck?
Of course not.
It's up to you, New York, New York.
Hey, Yankees fans! Look to the future, not the past! Send them off with a more appropriate tune!
"I'm a loser."
"Loser."
"Down On Me."
"My Husband's Got No Courage In Him."
So many choices.
