I blinked a few times seeing this translation subtitle! I wonder if the original Korean word had a similar modern slang quality?

#pdx #Portland Craft Warehouse in Cedar Hills is closing and everything is about half off. Tons of paint, canvases, pens, fabric, art supplies of all kinds.

@MediaActivist There’s something to explore about kayfabe, politics, and the blurred lines between “just playing a role”, actually believing in the role/story, and believing that success through riling up an audience is all that really matters.

Query for you #synth #ElectronicMusic people: is there a soft synth for MacBook that you like the UI, that is not super out of date, and isn’t tied to a subscription or other predatory practices?

@skinnylatte Do they have a department of Mackerel Data Refinement?

@skinnylatte When the executive team was asked why they didn’t hand out more seaweed snacks, they replied “the Board kelps those who kelp themselves.”

@davetroy @ahermitforhire There may well be bad actors and false flags, but wringing your hands about “violence” is quisling behavior. The real, pervasive, and escalating violence that Musk et al are inflicting on society -on *you*- vastly exceeds any small scale property damages. To torch a Tesla is self defense. The line about “it’s going to accelerate martial law” is actual bad-actor behavior, doing the police state’s work for them.

@skinnylatte I was given an air fryer recently, and I do use it, but it’s basically just a fancy toaster oven. Convenient but not an act of care, connection, or artistry.

@skinnylatte Do you have a favorite furikake, or do you know anyone who has Opinions about it? Thanks!

@Jaden3 @mtechman My modern favorite is Rare Exports, it’s a Christmas horror movie from Finland. My old-time favorite is We’re No Angels, 1955 with Humphrey Bogart. Three murderers escape prison and plot to rob a family, but they become the good guys by accident!

That line about “the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb” is going around again; be aware it was made up in the 1990s, with no source backing up the claim that it’s older. It became popular among messianic cultists, and they have made many websites and memes asserting it’s ancient, but it’s a modern fake.

You can celebrate your chosen family without needing that particular phrase.

@davetroy I’m sorry but “professional liars misuse terms, so I will too” is not the seat of logic you might have thought it was.

@davetroy Destroying the state is not the only defining characteristic of anarchism, it is only the most simplistic freshman-level element. The specific right-libertarian people in the specific case of bsky funding are all power-hungry exploiters, not devotees of a narrow historical branch of political philosophy.
