degaussing a CRT

We all need a a timeline cleanse!

A lovely weekend to all of you 🐸

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Roses are red
Violets are blue

"I say! Are you Georgina?" The child in the opposite bed sat up and looked across at Anne. She had very short curly hair, almost as short as a boy's. Her face was burnt a dark-brown with the sun, and “Famous Five 01 - Five On A Treasure Island” By Enid Blyton 7 her very blue eyes looked as bright as forget-me-nots in her face. But her mouth was rather sulky, and she had a frown like her father's. "No," she said. "I'm not Georgina." "Oh!" said Anne, in surprise. "Then who are you?" "I'm George," said the girl. "I shall only answer if you call me George. I hate being a girl. I won't be. I don't like doing the things that girls do. I like doing the things that boys do. I can climb better than any boy, and swim faster too. I can sail a boat as well as any fisher-boy on this coast. You're to call me George. Then I'll speak to you. But I shan't if you don't." "Oh!" said Anne, thinking that her new cousin was most extraordinary. "All right! I don't care what I call you. George is a nice name, I think. I don't much like Georgina. Anyway, you look like a boy."

To give you an idea of how deranged the UK has become about gender stuff, here's Enid Blyton - the absolute avatar of classic English conservatism and a huge fan of racist "gollywogs" - casually describing a gender non-conforming kid in the 1940s and having their friends be totally cool with it.

Drop an album that was important to you when you were 19.

Relatedly, did you know I have crab Maryland socks?

Absolute perfection!

None of the geese in Maryland seem to react in any way to our objectively amazing state flag. If geese had a strongly grounded model of vexillology, Marylanders would observe a difference in goose behavior. I guess it’s possible they have strong opinions that don’t alter their behavior.

Hmm!! We'll have to do a survey!

This is probably true, but hard to prove.

For those who missed it, Reddit users have figured out that many of the blank PDF files in the Epstein files are actually videos when you change the extension to .mov or .avi.

That's how much they care about protecting victims.

nobody posted the clip anywhere so i went and dug the whole episode up

I don't know if it's really clear, outside of coverage of Mpls and pockets of organizing elsewhere, that hundreds of thousands of people are actively and at every level of society fighting our government as it abducts and imprisons and torments our neighbors.

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

All models are wrong. But some models are useful!

But it's not that simple! It never is.

I am so curious about this project. These cards have ridiculous amounts of information on them.

I play absolute craptons of nonograms on my phone. I'm looking forward to giving this a shot on my steam deck!

Nice!!

Crepuscular.

I wish my kitty would snuggle with me at bedtime. He's too zoomy to hang out.

Do you recommend it?

Since I introduced this pin in the fall of 2021 I've sent out more than 1800 of them, including a few to folks involved in the making of Star Trek. 139 of those have been in the week and a half since I posted this. Thank you so, so much! I hope they help you find your people.
