I had a discouraging incident today of an acquaintance surprising me with belief in Graham Hancock's bullshit. He didn't know my history advocating against pseudoscience crackpots. It's really hard to explain in a casual conversation, but the noise I made when he mentioned the name probably said a lot.
"many employees fear that Musk may be permanently damaging Tesla's reputation by his association with Trump — and of course, his personal conduct, like performing Nazi salutes."
As I noted, geologists thinking this seismic swarm in the Aegean is NOT related to magma, volcanism, or a coming larger quake. It's likely related to "fluids", not magma. Non-experts need to stop promoting nonsense speculation. #earthquakehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jREQ3EdEAY
Snow - poison or yummy? I am flabbergasted by the dichotomy. On one side, people in the Midwest are melting their #snow and noticing all the dirt and stuff in it (and being surprised). On the other hand, Appalachian people making "snow cream" with organic sugar and fresh #snow and eating it. Hmm.
I am currently pissed off at #Peloton for killing their Netflix app. Why are companies so damn dumb? And this is so minor compared to their higher level bullshit.
Every day is just a new discovery of dumb fuckery from corporate America.
Hubby said he overheard people complaining about how cigarettes have not gone down in price since that’s what they voted for last Tuesday. Yeah… people are so dumb.
What is your favorite #KateBush song? I can't decide. I'm no good at favorites. I can't even decide on my favorite album. It depends on the mood, and which season it is, and if I feel nostalgic, or if I feel like dancing or crying....
I am sitting on the side of the road near Indian Wells AZ because it’s snowing and I don’t trust these tires. Waiting until it clears and trying not to dissolve into a pool of despair.
I have to block a lot more text and tags on BlueSky than Mastodon. For here, it's only things I'd rather not see, like sports, but there, it's a lot. Threads? That's a cesspool.
I am very odd, I think. I don’t adjust my media consumption for holidays. No need for spooky stuff this time of year. No Xmas stuff ever. Not a big fan of seasonal stuff in general.
I always knew 20% of the US population was unstable, mean, or psychotic. But I could avoid that. I can’t avoid the Trumpers. And they make me question humanity. I despair.
