Oh hey, good things do happen even in the darkest times. Yarvin is taking about fleeing the country.
The thinks that Trump's fascism is failing (which it is) and tha Trump is incapable of doing what it takes to actually hold power. He's afraid of vengeance, which is honestly unlikely given how completely useless the democrats actually are. But I'm glad he's afraid. I hope he runs away to Russia, gets drafted and deployed to Ukraine, and eats a drone.
I also hope he can somehow convince Thiel to be afraid, but I think that's unlikely.
The fact is that if Trump fails, which I think he will (and Yarvin thinks it could be soon), it won't be because of Democratic leadership. It will be because of antifascist organizing and community resistence. We will have, once again, kept ourselves safe while the DNC argued over how much of their values they should abandon and how much of the left to sacrifice to "get votes."

Hmmmm… here is a problem I did not anticipate.
Every time I empty the main pond hole of water, (the actual hole under the liner) water returns within an hour or two. I’ve done it 4 times now, and it keeps filling back up with water.
Obviously there is water underground infiltrating into the pond hole, and/or the water table itself is above the bottom of the hole. It is not coming from either of the other holes because they both have the same amount of water in them as they did this morning.
I have “watered” the blueberry patch and hazelnut tree a lot with the water that I have been cleaning the filter with… and we also had lots of water flying around outside the liners yesterday as I tested the pump. So it is quite possible that the ground around the pond is simply well saturated.
I think I am going to have to just keep removing the water (and putting it into the sewer) until it does not refill. We have a week of hot weather coming. Surely that will be enough time for everything to dry out completely.
Otherwise I might run into some issues if the rains return before I can anchor down the pond liner with gravel and get the plumbing in!
How is time already running short!?
Never underestimate the ability of water to find a place where it is not wanted. 😆

Headhunter: forget about amnesia
When Headhunter came out on the Dreamcast, it was when the format was dying and games were being reduced to silly prices in HMV. This was good news for my collection and my wallet, with many £5 games filling up my shelves. It was not good for the games themselves, since I had such an abundance of choice that I would not commit more than an hour or so to anything in particular.

I'm feeling much better today (no abdominal cramps) but I drove to work because I've been having a lot of leg pain in the mornings, for about an hour or so after I get out of bed. It's the end of the year, traditionally the time I break myself... might need to look into physical therapy again. 😢

Following a discussion on reddit of all places, here's a poll. Please spread far and wide because [garbled audio, static, unintelligible noises]
The question is: do you normally listen to and enjoy audiobooks?
Also, this is what I mean by "inner monologue" (sorry it's not WP but that page terrifies me)

Inner monologues can represent a rich experience for some, as long as they don’t get out of hand.

Just got sent an invitation for a 2 person meeting Wednesday at 15:00.
I declined and suggested 07:00.
If you have been here 7 years less than me and don't outrank me, you will adjust to MY preferred working times, not the other way around!

That feeling when you try to fav a toot and you can’t because it's been deleted.
Wait what? it was good enough for a fav, why would you delete it?
