"if you let rich people have money it will trickl--" why wait tho

I'm a little inebriated, and yet it still makes 110% sense to take money from the rich and feed people with it. It's obvious.

I'll get sudden nostalgia for BBSes and FILE_ID.DIZ files which would often tell you where a downloaded file originated. Back then, you'd be in PA and be like,"Wow! This came from The Byte Bandits in... ~~CALIFORNIA~~ !!"

Ok. Rachels. I have some beef with you. Your Reuben... is it Pastrami or Turkey. WHICH ONE IS IT, RACHEL??? PLEASE CONVENE.

As soon as I realize, and I mean the very first second, that I'm in an adventure game, I'm grabbing a dang rope.

ah, right, Jill of the Jungle. The Amazon woman who can't swim.

major cities competing against each other for companies by offering decades of tax breaks seems like something that would lead to poor infrastructure, declining healthcare, and homelessness. oh, wait. right. it did.

...and they want to ~call~ me. Shouldn't have cross-posted to the birbsite! I advocate for them sometimes for certain things to be cordial, but it *is* funny that they basically threw away their website and just use an open source one. Funny and a little personally annoying, honestly, as an open source dev in academia. Beaker is a better service, I feel, overall. In the end, we will all drown together against whatever Whole Tale is / ends up being.

Don't worry. You can buy an occasional book or w/e from Amazon and still despise them. These corporate city-states are monopolies that make themselves unavoidable… what can you do. I got a student loan and still hate them. I have health insurance but it's still a terrible system

I'm getting mad at all the Amazon bullshit, still. Georgia's bid to build Amazon their own state-funded university is particularly embarrassing and terrible.

my brain has produced a catchy tune all on its own and it has no ending and thus I can't get it to go away and I've no free time to compose it properly so it's just never-ending torment!

a crawler hit a very unintentionally slow route repeatedly. i added a reasonable cache. thanks robot.

i've stored my dread on floppy disk. many kibibytes of dread. so much dread waiting patiently to experience data rot in 10 to 25 years.

I wish I could get as excited about technology and stuff as many of you younger folks, but all I've got is this dread. so much dread.

Code Ocean is now just Jupyter Lab you pay for?
