This bothers me because this kind of crap is exactly why people have trust issues with science.

And stuff like this… https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/09/13/493739074/50-years-ago-sugar-industry-quietly-paid-scientists-to-point-blame-at-fat

I grew up hearing the first 3 Manheim Steamroller Christmas albums every year at Christmas. It reminds me of the before times and makes me happy.

I no longer believe in any of it, so the music isn’t literally relevant to me, but it takes me to a headspace, to a time before the evil of the world was so overwhelming.

Gonna pile on here and shill my favorite shoutcast player Audials. I haven’t paid for many apps. This is one.

I’ve been looking to disenshittify my life. This, Google, MS, and all the other streaming services are on the list. Slowly but surely.

I love my power toys. Have for… Oh God, it’s been more than a decade now.

I’m glad you got a chance to relax for a bit.

Also, I love your writing.

Stay warm friend.

Unless it’s a truly long con, life, my friend.

Powderhorn is having a stressful time and is also a writer by profession, which is why the high quality of posts is so consistent.

They need to have personhood so they can be tried, convicted and jailed… Somehow.

Hahaha. Fantastic! Keep up the good work.

I think you root for better antitrust and copyright protections, no? Seems like that author was suffering from a failure of imagination.

I read all the words, but all I can see is the Em dash. I do hope it there as a little joke. I do so love when people make that kind of little joke.
