Who gets to kill? Daniel Penny and Luigi Mangione

The ruling class, and much of the pundit class, appear unable or unwilling to understand how systemic violence begets this targeted violence: www.jphilll.com/p/who-gets-t....

i'm unshamed that I've eaten two bags of Werther's in the last 30 days.

Listening to @kimberlyadams.bsky.social and @kairyssdal.bsky.social from last Friday. I’m with Kimberly on the beer - can’t stand the stuff got the most part.

Why do they need to announce they are leaving? It’s not an airport.

And how did it taste?

Definitely feeling like I’m moving up out of the nadir of the happiness curve. Hitting that in the middle of the pandemic was some bullshit for sure. Now I’m making a conscious effort to not yuck other people’s yums. Currently, some of the blame will go to vitamin D, and some to less drinking.

You really don’t like fantasy, do you? You need yourself some futuristic superheroes

Jarlic. I’m dying. lol.

I dropped one guy from bsky because they just made too much noise and clogged my feed. One. And now I see a lot more diversity in my feed. Different voices, better content. Go figure.

I grow quite tired of the calls for lower taxes. It just makes me think whoever says it doesn’t want to make society better.

Absolutely true. Had a frozen curry this week and it was solid. Maybe lacking in chicken but that’s not a fault of the cuisine.

essentially, all of them that have solid barriers. the flex and the paint are not adequate.

My local area has started doing double line lanes. They are a little more visible and a clue that this is not just a shoulder.

Most trucks cannot hold these bikes. It's not special with a 6' bed or a 5.5' bed. Measured my two bikes last night. Neither of them fits in a 6' bed, and one of them wouldn't fit in a "standard shortbed" 6.5' bed. R1t = 4'6", f150 Lightning = 5'6", Hummer ev 5', silverado ev = 6'. This is common.

tried to tell them. those bikes have 51" wheelbases, 29" wheels, and 2.5" tires. that's more like 7'

holding MTBs like that is extremely common with trucks. They make pads specifically for that. It's more upsetting they did it without the pad.

those tires likely are 27.5" or 29" tires. 29" is very common on MTBs, especially enduros, like the s-works. Wheelbase on the S-works is over 4' (51"), which is axle to axle. so, 51" + 29" (wheel) + 5" (2.5" tires which measures the width, but the depth is similar, just one side x2) = 85" > 6'

Making my son watch the fellowship of the ring. Still makes me a little weepy and I’ve seen it a lot.

I’d probably have to redo all of the cults and cultures and make several custom spells and go through the adventures and alter quite a bit. Still, the community recommends it for sword and sorcery.

Kinda wanting to formally convert the spider god’s bride to Mythras. Shouldn’t be hard from the legend version but it is substantially different from the 3e version. Perhaps over thanksgiving.

I found on Twitter and am finding this on Bluesky as well - if you look at someone you are following and they repost a very high percentage of the content vs how much they post their own (say 90-95%), they are mostly noise and are of low value to your feed. Thank goodness Bluesky can remove reposts

If you left twitter because of the toxicity of it, fueled by two controversial figures, why are you talking about them on bluesky?

a good hard hike will invariably get my creative juices going. On one particularly fierce hike (no family, speed hike, mid oregon) I essentially created an entire mythology as I was hiking.

I also don't need that much sleep. So, you have many clones on the internet now

I don't think we do that enough in publication of material. I found when I was doing Opposed Roles that folks were the most excited about free talk, including the mistakes. especially the mistakes.

honestly, right now, it's you vs me as to who gets the title of most proletariat person on bluesky.

hrm... proletariat is an interesting metric. I'm subscribed to some pretty left people, but unsure if they are really proletariat

It’s very simple, just like here in the US. Complain about money going somewhere else, sell the idea could be better used for something else, Get control of the money, then ignore whatever you said or put an effort just big enough to claim you are doing it. Profit.
