Hours of hiking at high elevation is the best complement/remedy for hours of coding... Last Saturday we were on the mountain for 9 hours (21km hike), and here's a short POV video from near the highest point, near the pass into Rappenalptal, 900m above the valley... It was a beautiful varied path through many different terrains with some exposed sections and grand vistas, even though the last part of the 1400m descent wasn't anything fun...
Also, between 20 and 30 seconds, the …

Found an old review, really loved working with New Noveta back in 2019:
"The two young performers get straight to work making the attendees at the edges of the room feel uncomfortable, grasping each other's bodies, screaming and crying, while brandishing what appears to be a giant folding fan made of 2ft blades. The pair chase each other on foot through the crowd, pushing people in all directions and never looking anything other than distressed, disturbed or downright terrified…

I consider these kinds of events to be nearly useless symbolism, preaching to the choir.
I do accept that these events are useful as means to meet others, but one should not expect these events to have even the slightest impact on the maga/white-nationalist/musk-ites... Nor do I think they have much impact on those who are in "the middle" and do not particularly engage in politics.

We sold about 200 items in our yard sale last Saturday, and today, I took two carloads of stuff to the donation site at our recycling centre. I feel like I'm being judged by the quality of my junk (" OH... we don't want that") even though I realize the community thrift store is flooded with donations and can't take everything. Only about 10% of my junk was deemed trash, so I'll take that as a win.

Gwen Snyder posted something on Saturday to the effect that “Fascists •need• the appearance of strength, and right now, Trump just looks weak.”
I think it’s easy for us evidence-hungry thinker types to underestimate just how much appearance matters. Massive rallies are not — •must• not be — the endpoint of resistance. However, neither are they purely symbolic. They have a real and concrete effect. They change perceptions, which change human behavior. Yes, they matter. They matter a lot.
