A late Day of Hermes and #BumDayMonday post 🐏
"I see him there at the oars of his little boat in the lake, the ferryman of the dead, Charon, with his hand upon the oar and he calls me now."

😱 Meine #Knoblauchpresse ist kaputt. Eine Presse, von der ich dachte, die geht nie kaputt.
Könnt ihr mir eine Presse empfehlen, die 50 Jahre hält? 😆 Was hat sich bei Euch bewährt? Hilfääää.
(Ich hatte eine ähnlich Nummer 1, aber mit einem eingepressten Siebeinsatz. Und der ist kaputtgegangen.)

I grew up in a large city in a western democracy, with a socialist city government and it was fine.
There was basically no crime. People didn’t go hungry. Housing was affordable. Rent was regulated. Public transport was amazing. Education was free. Everyone had healthcare. Taxes were practically the same as in the US.
It was also much, much easier to start a business there than in the US. (Literally took an hour!)
People who wanted to get rich still could do it (there’s a few Austrian billionaires even).
I don’t understand how Americans got themselves so brainwashed that “socialism” is used as a term that sort of means “iworse than death”.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Donald Trump’s hateful, falsehood-filled rant on Thursday
blaming immigrants for crime, “social dysfunction” and economic hardship
is refuted by a wide range of immigration statistics,
which show clearly that immigrants dramatically bolster the US economy
and commit crimes at far lower rates than people born in the US.
I don't know what the fuck is happening to software. Start Chrome on a new phone and it crashes, log in to a new Gmail account and it shows a “500 error" banner for 2 seconds. Open Google calendar, switch to the weekly view and the events are displayed as GIGA NARROW UNREADABLE BOXES.
YouTube on iOS? For months had a problem where sometimes the UI has the wrong colors, probably because of the dark mode thing.
