One. It was one.

@tokyo_0 Yeah good frame thanks. It's my awareness that it's not malice that's making me feel bad every time I judge them, whereas I should probably just be like "I shouldn't judge you, but I am".

What's a Buddhist exercise for forbearance around people who just aren't very competent at life

Warning, the bleak reality of being trapped in disaster capitalism will drag you down and crush you

Dominant result for #Putin in the #Russia election - he literally buried the opposition here.

Screens.
Ruin.
Everything.

March's peak produce time at ours!
A scramble with eggs from our chooks cherry tomatoes, parsley and chives from the garden.

@hannu_ikonen
It's both awful and dehumanising.
One can't refuse completely to participate, but every interaction with the shitshow leaves me feeling angry and complicit.

"It takes a village to raise a child"

"screens/devices ruin everything"

The thing I'm struggling hardest with at the moment is kid's peers' parents not putting any guardrails around screen-time, allowing open slather.

It's a wicked problem for #parenting.

@goatsarah yeah I cut Elon slack for a while because of the Iain Banks awareness... Boy did it become painfully clear he read them at an eighth grade level.

I hate the Putin regime and love pussycats as much as the next sane human, but this anti-Russia propaganda is getting ridiculous. This is the TOP article in the Europe section of the Guardian today.

@evan surprisingly even. I've got a problem...
🤣

@evan Six? You're topping out at 6? What is this, the 00s?

@tokyo_0 what's your secret?
Cold showers? Rigid wooden sleeping cots?

Caffeine status on my bio flipped from recaf to decaf.
Been a while since that happened.
Let's see how long I keep it up for this time.

@tokyo_0 counterpoint: when inflations running hot, anything you don't buy today is more expensive tomorrow

Thesis: one of the mechanisms that tricks smart people into the conspiracy bullshit vortex is the offer of unlimited contrarianism.

Smart geeks were bullied at school, and in most other situations thought and acted differently from those around them. It's bound up in their identity and a source of pride.

Agreement with the consensus can be twisted into feeling like a betrayal of their own essence.

Once again for the last 3 days of the holidays I have come down with a horrible man-cold.
I'm functional, but everything aches and my siuses are blocked and my eyes hurt
