Traveling through New England, a motorist stopped for gas in a tiny village.
"What's this place called?" he asked the station attendant.
"All depends," the native drawled. "Do you mean by them that has
to live in this dad-blamed, moth-eaten, dust-covered, one-hoss dump, or
by them that's merely enjoying its quaint and picturesque rustic charms
for a short spell?"

Was in Indianapolis for the weekend for my stepdad’s 90th(!) birthday party. He told us the story of being 6 years old, his family listening to organ music (out of Chicago! 🤷‍♂️) on the radio on a Sunday, when the news of Pearl Harbor broke. Remembers the day electricity came to their farm and how he was supposed to keep it from his dad as a surprise, but his poker face was not up to the challenge.

They help people set up local wilderness stewardship volunteer groups. (There’s a wilderness area near you! You want to help take care of it! How do you do that? What is actually helpful?? What are models and best practices??? Where do you even start????)

I discovered Ozzy via radio (and my dad had the first Sabbath record) but my wife discovered Ozzy in a different way. When she was younger, she was searching for 'Crazy' by Britney, but 'Crazy Train' came up, and she was like, 'what's this', and listened to it. She liked it, made it the custom ringtone for her mom's phone number, and kept it as that (it still is). 😂 She later heard the early Sabbath stuff and loved it, of course.

When I was little, I felt there was something massive and cosmic about the Hampster Dance song, like a hymn still sung centuries later, like the seasonal chants of an uncontacted tribe. My first exposure to it was its use in the Scratch platformer series "Cube World", this game where important characters go to space and tragically die, this game that no longer functions due to all the updates since Scratch 1.4.

[The next Cube World will be released in February 2010, so please stop asking]

Damn these old diodes are pretty; inherited from my dad.
The top one is a Mullard OA10 which is apparently mid 60's.
The very very pretty bottom one I think is a GEC GEX00; a wire contact germanium - look close! It's early 50's I believe.
#retrocomputing

Two old diodes sit next to a ruler; one is held in tweezers. They're both about 1cm long.
The top one a Mullard OA10 and is a black rounded cylinder with two wires at one end.  It has a small red dot.
The bottom is a real lovely one; a tiny glass envelope, silvered on the ends, shows a tiny wire - presumably contacting a chunk of germanium.  One wire is at each end, one is painted red, the other black.

I'm a passerby from the internet, and I came across your site through Neocities. I just wanted to shoot an email and say hi!

I looked at your favorite albums, and you introduced me to Visions of Bodies Being Born, which I am now OBSESSED with! I love how eerie the ambient noise is and the lyrics. My favorite track so far is Make Them Dead.

Anyways, I wish you love, hope, and joy! Fellow trans girl here 💓

It is a strange kind of irony to grow up with divorced parents and discover that the two sides of my family could not be more different. My mom is voting for fascists, and it shows in the way she tries to dictate every part of me, how I should look, how my hair should be, and the choices I never wanted to make but was pushed toward. Her world feels like control, a constant pressure to fit into something I do not belong to.
My dad, on the other hand, is voting for socialists, but more t…

me: "Early Sept"
8yo: "Like, in how many months?"
me: "roughly.. one and a half."
8yo: "Wow, school starts.. [pause] ..in not very long!"

me: "..."

My beautiful 6/yo son just came up to me and showed me this INCREDIBLE drawing of our hometown he created with the marker pack his dad bought him for school 🥹 What should I do as his mother to support his God-given gift?

I'm wondering if a dog would be a good idea when Mum's gone, partly as company for Dad but also because we would have capacity. I love this guy (should read his bio - he's perfect) and at least he's not called Max unlike half the other dogs available. That would cause big confusion in our house.

The average undergrad tuition fee in the 1974/75 academic year in Canada, across all disciplines, was $547 ($3445 adjusted to 2025)
Fees 50 years later in 2024/25 were $7360 ($7496 adjusted)
That is more than double. 117%.
And I *know* from personal experience this is a low ball average. If I could find a breakdown by discipline or by length of study for today, some would be even more obscene.
What has changed? Any occupation outside a minimum wage paying job demands a 2-4yr undergraduate diploma or degree, if not more.
Think about the 1970s and how common it was for people to get good paying jobs, leading to careers, without even high school education. Our free education stops with high school.
My family is a good example.
Mom and Step Dad: teacher college/degree. One got a Masters mid career.
Dad: didn’t complete HS
Father in law: didn’t complete HS
Mother in law: completed HS mid-career
Leadership positions and full careers demand a Masters or PhD requiring 5-10 years of study after HS!
Add in the cost of food and housing and the massive cuts happening at all colleges and universities because of the loss of international student tuition and I am going to go out on a limb and say our students today are going to pay double the price for a far worse experience than possibly any time since the Second World War.
Public education should be free.
Food and Housing should be controlled.
If the only thing government cares about is the economy, then they are setting us up for failure, and have been for decades.
(Don’t get me started on the kinds of “values” Canadian governments demonstrate when International student tuitions are 5x more than domestic students, let alone the inherent revenue risk in that funding strategy that has now come home to roost)

wild direction for my family's relationship with the ex turkish military guy to take, but apparently my dad offered to take him with us next month to my grandparents small town on the tip of appalachia after getting mildly irritated hearing him talk about how san francisco was the greatest place in the world so much, and he accepted

It's very confusing having a parent at the beginning of the end. Mum's been in hospital for a week, needing to be stabilised before she can be moved elsewhere for palliative care. She has a terminal neurodegenerative illness and has suddenly deteriorated very rapidly.
I think I feel survivor's guilt. I want her suffering to be over but is that saying I want her to die? I can also see how much better my dad is in himself now he's not caring for her at home. Confusing is …

Whoa. Didn't have this on the bingo card. It puts the meeting with dad a few days ago, and the meet between staff people a couple weeks before, in a much different light.
A "working royal" probably could not do this, let alone the King, but Harry, especially with his military past, makes a lot of sense to be there on behalf of the royal family even if officially he isn't.
King Charles definitely sends different messages than his mother.
