I like that we have no idea yet how this is gonna end, but it's already one of the greatest non-deciding World Series games ever by acclamation.

You can tell its a good World Series because nobody looks happy to be there.

I’m watching the World Series. I’m taking part o the Stanford prison experiment. I’m at the combination World Series/Stanford prison experiment

The last time a World Series game went this many innings, the White House had two wings.

Two 18-inning World Series games, 2018 and 2023.
This never happened in Biden's America

Yeah, it's also absurd, to donate food, which has to be sorted, etc.

What I've done when I've been given food or had too much, or found some, or whatever, was to gather a box of it, photograph it, and post it for free on Craigslist and Facebook.

I've read a post here and there making fun of how old (and white) the #NoKings protests were.

Guess who votes in midterm elections?

Seniors.

They also did shit, in the past, that only recently became trendy with the youth: brussels sprouts, sardines, tap water, making sure the lady cums first.

The federal government is still shut down. Here's what that means in your community The federal government remains shut down. The NPR Network is following the ways the shutdown is affecting services across the country.

Read the end. Open Enrollment on Nov. 1 might be a shocker, with people seeing quotes for huge increases in insurance premiums.

than a malicious man. He's actively pushing racism and patriarchy, and we call him stupid. He's a revanchist of sorts, trying to "restore" a culture of violence.

Just learned the term "sane washing" to describe how the media is reporting on Trump as if he's sane and reasonable.

But the other comments called him "stupid". I'd call that "fool washing", because it's minimizing the effects of his actions, by attributing them to a doddering old man, rather

Intimidation tactics.

A cheap, but difficult way is to find out if someone you know has a WP site they're not using, or are just parking forever because they can't get motivated to work on it, and allow you to host a few aggregator pages. I was thinking of doing this on riceball or externaldocuments.com.

HOW TO GET A WORDPRESS SITE

The easiest way is to get a free site at wordpress.com.

The second easiest is to find out if your ISP has a "Free Website" feature. I used to be on Sonic, and they offered that.

Third is to buy a WP site with your domain. This costs money.

Not all sites have a feed. They need the traffic to their site make money from ads. So I just put a link there.

Some sites have a paywall. I'd just link to them as well.

Eventually, this will all get worked out.

Other common names for the feed are "feed.rss" "feed.xml".

Some sites put a link in the HTML code. It looks like this: <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"
title="RSS Feed for petefreitag.com"
href="/rss/" />

In the above code, the feed's name is "/rss/"

RSS feed icon

To make one of these pages, you create a new post. Add a "Columns" block, and set it to 2 or 3 columns.

To find RSS feeds, you can often go to a site, and look for the RSS icon. If it's not present you can try adding "/feed" to the path: example.com/feed

This last one is a sitewide page that started as a Japanese American aggregator, but went a little out of control.

This one is some podcasts and audio content. I didn't always use the RSS block here. Most of the feeds are from the local KPFK archives.

I'm fooling around with using the WordPress RSS block to create public news aggregator pages. (Instructions below.)

This is a way to broaden your news diet away from social media. This first one is just a few humor sites:

Yeah, the "daily me" idea created exactly what the critics said it would: information silos and echo chambers.

I'm not immune to it either.

You can confuse the algos, by unfollowing, blocking, unfriending.

There's power in numbers

a photograph of the interior of a church. Several people are visible sitting in pews. In the pew immediately in front of the photographer, a black human-sized cardboard cutout in the outline of a woman is visible, as though a shadow is sitting in the pew in front of you.

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

I'm still going through the process. I'm coming out way more aware, but being sucked in is pretty easy, especially in this political environment.

I read a bunch of redpillish misogynist content related to being an Asian Am guy, and despite resisting it, I became a bit more sexist, and had to deprogram myself.

Bingo.

I was at a club, and the DJ started playing a DIJ song, and the dance floor cleared in 5 seconds. I was like, what's going on?

Then, I eventually read an interview... I think it was in reference to Rock Against Racism. Quickly understood what they're about.

That's just what I can recall while writing this. I'm sure there's stuff in the recesses of my memory, buried, because I didn't have the same taste in porn as the women I traded with. In fact, I can only recall one instance of shared taste, and I could probably find that video online.

other guy's computers, but an equal number of women rented it for me, traded it with me, disposed of it to me, got some from me, and one video recorded me. My boss, a woman, once pranked me by putting PornHub on a laptop. That's literally how I found out about PH.
