I’ve heard a lot of distressing “maybe it has to get worse before it can get better” defenses of Trump. After a quick dip into the history of Mugabe, the article drops this pearl of wisdom:
❝It can get a •lot• worse and that alone won’t change the electoral outcomes. Organizing, not conditions, is most important.❞

I spent last week on Kangaroo Island, South Australia, and it really exceeded my expectations. Winter is supposed to be a good time to see wildlife and I was not disappointed. Among the many highlights was visiting a sea lion colony that is thought to house about 8% of the entire population of this endangered species. And since this is the Fediverse I should say that their reputation for making bad faith arguments in comment threads is totally undeserved.

Ok, so as a Hollywood movie, The Odyssey is pretty good.

Just finished "Fustuk" by Robert Mgrdich Apelian. Without exaggeration, it is a true masterpiece, an absolutely stunning graphic novel about food, family, and magical contracts that reminds me of both Witch Hat Atelier and Young Bride's Stories. The truly impressive part is that Apelian is every bit as good an illustrator and storyteller as both Kamome Shirahama and Kaoru Mori.
In the author's note, Apelian says "So I asked to make the story I always craved growing up: a tale of Middle Eastern joy and magic that speaks to diasporic culture and how those of us within it relate to our two worlds." He succeeded at that goal abundantly, as far as I can tell, and has produced a truly impressive work.

Pleasantly surprised I can measure this timing difference on my cheap scope; In both cases this is a chain of a pair of inverters in a 74LS04 package; the difference between the two captures is just the length of breadboard wire between the 1st and 2nd inverter; the first is about 1cm and the 2nd is about 20cm; so that's about 0.5ns difference measured which is reasonable - and surprisingly good for a 500MS/s scope.
(The yellow is input from a sig gen, blue is op of 2nd inverter).

Advantaged played on a foul worthy of a yellow card should still result in a yellow card after play stops. Here, it does not.
The officiating has been exceptionally good this #worldcup but that is consistently not adjudicated correctly in my view.
At minimum, the KSA counter was deprived of one attacking player.

Now, more than ever, it's essential to practice good mental hygiene, work on emotional regulation, and guard against social media psyops. You never know when you'll need those inner resources.

Finally finished Hardspace: Shipbreaker just now, and while it's a really great game, the ending is, as expected, disappointing. Not the gameplay part of it, that was great, but the failure to gesture towards anything beyond capitalism in these kinds of games/stories is especially galling when they set themselves up to tackle the issue head on. The high doses of rugged individualism in the ending cinematic are especially jarring. Like, isn't the whole point of the game that the workers deserve rights and freedom? But then you let us know that we specifically have earned our freedom through hard work... It can't be both.
Still a very good game overall, with a completely novel set of mechanics and overall world setup that doesn't center violent conflict as the main mechanic (even though violent conflict does play a part), which is a rarity these days.
