I have been following this guy's videos for a very long time (since 2018?). When he started, he was posting videos five times per week. I'm glad to see that he's back to the daily cadence.

Spend my day in Slackware Flatbrew, a one-off from my mate in Motown. Synced KDE dots, brew installs and installed flatpaks between Aurorix and Slackware, to achieve that at-home feeling, anywhere i go. It worked out great. Tomorrow it'll be Larry and dwm. Can't go wrong with that one either.

Just finished "Far Sector" written by N. K. Jemisin and illustrated by Jamal Campbell. I don't normally go for Marvel/DC comics stuff and this was a good reminder why. Jemisin's authorship was the draw for me here, as well as some curiosity about what I might be missing out on by avoiding the classic comics lineage. I won't go into too much detail about particulars, but suffice to say it ends up feeling to me line a very neoliberal story dressed up in a veneer of radicalism, which is not what I'd expected of Jemisin. Particularly in light of current events, the "good cops" aspects of the storyline ring truly hollow. There's still a lot of neat parts, but I guess I also wound up disappointed by the sci-fi aspects in a lot off ways. I truly think Jemisin is capable of better than this, based on her other (excellent) work.

Stephen Miller is feeling powerful. He's out here claiming "might makes right" and saying the US can do anything.
Miller forgets that he's not the one with the power. The powerful guy repeats himself constantly, wanders off to look at his ballroom construction mid-speech, has fluid-filled ankles, and over-thinned blood. Miller forgets that the "powerful" never remain so for long and that "with great power, there must also be great responsibility."…
End of chapter 1.
Since first moment I spoke with Desther I felt a strange feeling. Something didn't go right with him.
PD: I did all henchmen tales too. That guys gave a good rewards.

Burry similarly made a long-term $1 billion bet from 2005 onwards against the US mortgage market, anticipating its collapse. His fund rose a whopping 489 percent when the market did subsequently fall apart in 2008."

Two years ago, I was in South Korea—definitely the highlight of that year. The food was amazing, the winter vibes were perfect, and everything was so affordable.
But for a long time, I’d had Japan on my list. I’ve been checking plane tickets now and then, only to watch the prices climb higher by the minute. Even though flying to Tokyo is just an hour or two longer than flying to Seoul, it’s nearly twice as expensive. So, I decided to go back to South Korea instead.
This time, I’l…
