Just listened to a record of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers from 1960 in the car. Freakin'. Awesome.

Using at the server side just doesn't seem right. .js

Ten years ago you would find all your favourite musicians on the free web. They used to have crappy driven sites, but they were hosted independently. Today you mostly find them on and only on . This is so sad. I know, many just switched from , but Facebook is so much worse in just every aspect. Hopefully, the caravan will move on one day. This time to , I hope.

#Amazon treats its warehouse workers badly, pays very little tax and tracks its users. Its #Kindle platform will delete books that people have already bought.

Here are some updated ethical alternatives to #AmazonBooks, Kindle and #GoodReads:

The moment you realize that the festival you wanted to attend is colliding with the date for the D&D campaign finale.

Consider the first people to encounter gorillas, and their wonder if these were human.

And the Papua New Guinean highlanders’ astonishment at meeting whites, from Australia for the first time, less than a century ago! They inspected the visitors’ poop and (apparently) had women sleep with them to confirm that they were indeed human.

Today there’s a lot of support for skepticism about “supernatural”. A thousand years ago, much less so—who knew what wonders existed far away?

Today's done with "Indian Flavour" a shaving made by Meißner Tremonia, a soap maker from Dortmund/Germany. It's got a nice scent of citrus and a range of exotic spices. The lather was thick and my skin felt well for hours. octodon.social/media/ipjzTDnG5 octodon.social/media/ireERvKm1

My issue with CWs is that you are deciding for yourself what others should consider "sensitive" content. The trouble with that fir me is there are some people who are sensitive about really niche things. I understand putting a CW on NSFW media; because that could get you in trouble at work. But putting CWs on anything else is a bit over-the-top for me. I just saw someone asking for CWs on holiday posts because it makes that person sad... Seems a bit much for me! 😅

"If for one minute you think you're better than a sixteen year old girl in a Green Day t-shirt, you are sorely mistaken. Remember the first time you went to a show and saw your favorite band. You wore their shirt, and sang every word. You didn't know anything about scene politics, haircuts, or what was cool. All you knew was that this music made you feel different from anyone you shared a locker with. Someone finally understood you. This is what music is about." -Gerard Way
