I’m reading Civilization Before Greece and Rome, by H. W. F. Saggs. Published in ‘89 so some interpretations are outdated, but a section on the emergence and rise of the god king in Mesopotamia for instance shows how the evangelical butt kissing of 🍊💩 and their efforts to sanctify him have been a part of human behavior for the past 5KY that we have written records of, and likely for a long while before that. Our constitution tries to buck the trend, but the odds for success look slim.
Reading more about the various ways people I'm connected to were involved with Epstein. Mostly from my time at the MIT Media Lab and the Santa Fe Institute, Google too. It's just so disappointing.
Now running IPv6 from my desktops - I'm using internal ULA addresses with masquerading, partly to spite IPv6 people, but mostly so in theory I can flip to a backup connection easily.
That does mean I've had to change /etc/gai.conf to label the ULA range ( fc00::/7 ) the same as generic routing - i.e. a label of 1
(It also assumes my ISPs - YouFibre - IPv6 routing holds together..it took 4 rounds with support to get them to fix it, and others have complained about IPv6 i…

Yesterday I finished "The Other Side of Tomorrow" written by Tina Cho and illustrated by Deb JJ Lee. Lee's "In Limbo" was an excellent graphic memoir, and this similarly has wonderful art, although I didn't make the connection until checking the authors after reading to the end.
This book is a realistic fictional account of two childrens' escape from North Korea via China, Laos, and ultimately Thailand where they could declare themselves refugees at a US embassy and get sponsored to live in America. Along the way they're helped by various members of the Asian Underground Railroad. I'll avoid spoilers but yet definitely encounter difficulties along the way.
The ending definitely hits different now (while also accentuating my disgust with the current US regime). Like "Libertad" that I also finished recently, the "escape to the US at the end" plot line is going to become less prevalent going forward, although Libertad involved a good measure of complexity around that point.
I was a bit disappointed in one of the later plot points where a different and more-real-world-probable turn of events could have served as a better message for society, with the "lucky" outcome as written reinforcing regressive notions of family, and as an ex-Christian the Christian elements of the story made me feel a way. I'm an agnostic, not an atheist though, and can respect the idea that those willing to risk torture and death for their faith have every right to stand by it and take inspiration from it. Most (very valid) critiques of big western Church institutions just don't apply to underground churches in northern China who are helping people escape the horrors of deep fascism.
Overall a really good book.

I keep reading why typing directly into the CMS is considered bad. Is there a reason for that?
Basically anything on my website was directly hacked into the wordpress editor.
