I think about Myth 3-5 times a week.

Mars, Pollux, and Castor looking like Orion got the freshman 15 tonight

The spoon is already here but it IS evenly distributed (in your brain, silly 🤷‍♂️)

Lovely stuff, these remind me of the hand painted terrain bitmaps in Bungie’s Myth series

A portion of John Quincy Adams' Amistad argument before SCOTUS: "I will not recur to the Declaration of Independence--your Honors have it implanted in your hearts--but one of the grievous charges brought against George III. was, that he had made laws for sending men beyond seas for trial. That was one of the most odious of those acts of tyranny which occasioned the American revolution. The whole of the reasoning is not applicable to this case, but I submit to your Honors that, if the President has the power to do it in the case of Africans, and send them beyond seas for trial, he could do it by the same authority in the case of American citizens. By a simple order to the marshal of the district, he could just as well seize forty citizens of the United States, on the demand of a foreign minister, and send them beyond seas for trial before a foreign court."

Was just reading John Quincy Adams' oral arguments before SCOTUS in the Amistad case and this part seems, uh, pretty relevant

Today I needed to replace a simple part of my mower. Rather than shopping online, I searched up the nearest mower shop and was back in 20 minutes just like we did before the turn of the century.

I’ve got a NES Pinball cart I spent hours on, never knew about Super Sushi Pinball!

“When you’re studying a motorcycle and you try to understand it piece by piece, you have to understand that each part isn’t just a separate thing—it’s defined by its connections to everything else. A motorcycle is primarily a pattern of relationships.”

From On Tyranny, Timothy Snyder, I’m paraphrasing: “in the 1930’s the nazis used a new media (radio) to reach an audience at a scale and speed that outmatched their opponents”. Didn’t the dems just lose because of Xitter and Joe Rogan? And in-fighting and purity tests?

Agree as well as some other details. Also the viewer knowing some things now rather than later as in the books.

As far as tv adaptations go it’s very well done.

Build new gaming pc for show.
Install windows 11 without using a m$ account for a pro.

No but I watched Hotel Rwanda

As the lone area Mac kid growing up in the 90’s this sounds amazing.

An entire day spent off and on attempting to install windows using a local account instead of a m$.
