I feel you, been there a few times myself. But also you donโ€™t have to have other people validate your interests if you find them interesting yourself, If it makes you happy after all.

Shitโ€™s hard in this day and age, like you I follow the news -a lot- to get an idea if shitโ€™s going down, but it is also -exhausting- as well.
Given stuff that is going on, one canโ€™t forget to give oneself some tlc too.

Had a dream the other night about the 1988 Peugeot 205 GTI my family had when I was young and how much fun it was to drive. Man, would be fun to get one of these over to the US!

That is absolutely something to be proud of, itโ€™s super important to take stock of the things youโ€™ve improved on and worked hard at. โค๏ธ

Mamdani proves that progressives can win and we donโ€™t need the old guard in safe blue seats. Time to primary the fuck out of them.

I do sympathize though, I used to live in an apartment in Cardiff on the floor below a bunch of toddlers that ran around making all kinds of noise at every hour of the day. It was -hell- @.@

Usually itโ€™s for the local council to do an issue fines for, but theyโ€™re probably reluctant because itโ€™s someoneโ€™s kid. Canโ€™t really advise more than keep hammering at the council. Perhaps reach out to Citizensโ€™ Advice Bureau?

Iโ€™m absolutely convinced we just need to ban AI, lest we devolve into a society of trillionaires and proles that have soup for brains.

Good gravy. That is fucking egregious, firing dozens of people for misconduct and they just so happened to all be union organizers?

These fucking companies, man.
