Remember when DVDs were double-sided with one side pan & scan and the other side widescreen?
The funny part is that because the data is opposite the label, this side of the DVD actually contains the widescreen version.
Also interesting is that this DVD doesn't have a menu, it goes straight into the movie.

Remember that authoritarian movements of all kinds, but especially fascist movements, do not initially have the power to force an entire nation state to bend to their will. They need — not just benefit from, but absolutely •need• — the passive acquiescence of large numbers of people.
Loud, annoying, visible resistance punctures the lie that it’s inevitable, that people who keep their heads down will be rewarded in the end.

Content warning: Loss and grief

I keep thinking that I should text a friend of mine, tell him how much I've been writing, tell him I mentioned him in something I wrote. Then I remember he died like 4 years ago.
Edit:
It must have been more like 6 or something now that I'm thinking about it. It was part of the way through the first Trump administration. He would have really appreciated the way Trump is unraveling now. One of the last times we talked he was like... "You know man, You used to play 'Baby, I'm an anarchist' and I'd think... ' don't want to throw a brick through a Starbucks window. I kinda like their coffee sometimes.' But the way things have been going lately, I'm kind of looking around and thinking you might be right. Fuck Starbucks. Where's that brick?"
At least I won the SRV vs the Hendrix version of Voodoo Chile debate. Hendrix is just better.
We used to talk about music, especially punk (and rockabilly, and ska, and 2 tone), and poetry, and beer. He liked hop stupid, but I always thought it didn't have the body to match the hops and I always preferred Racer 5. Of course, this time of year we'd be shifting in to red and stout season, and I'd be excited for Lagunitas Russian Imperial and this year's Bourbon County Stout batch.
He was really big in to Star Wars. He missed all of Andor, which is probably the best thing to have come out since the original 3. But I guess he also missed the new trilogy, so maybe it balances out.
He would have really liked all the good music I've run across in the last few years. He had a music blog for a bit.
Yeah... I don't know why it's hitting me so hard now, other than maybe I never had time to really process it before.

Even if i don't promote those types of tactics, we should all STFU if we see people doing them. We all have a place. There are things we can all do. Everything is on the table and it should be, because ICE agents will intimidate you, steal your car, and even murder you for just filming them.

It’s strange thinking about how much pain I’ve grown to accept and have just learned to live with.
I love writing by hand too much to give it up - with my ADHD it helps me focus, remember thins better, think through complex ideas. Journaling has been a great way to manage my mental illnesses. I love paper, I love collecting notebooks.
Not to mention that I am a hobbyist artist and draw on a regular basis. (Somehow that has been less painful for me than writing… but if writing cramped my hand then drawing would be agonizing too and I’d have to take weeks off on a nearly constant basis).
So suddenly purchasing a new kind of pen and realizing it MADE THE PAIN DISAPPEAR feels like magic. I literally feel less disabled.

This is a subtweet...
People who are not anti-capitalist sometimes wonder: "Why is there a monopoly on X life-critical thing?" (E.g., epipens, insulin, web search).
This one is really simple actually: because monopolies are more profitable than competition, and the foundation of capitalism is that capital = power.
Various societies have recognized the necropolitical outcomes of monopolies and have tried to erect barriers to monopoly; we all know that monopolies are bad, death-and-suffering-causing things. But since these societies mostly remain capitalist, they allow these barriers to be eroded by the power of capital (to do otherwise would be to repudiate capitalism because it puts a limit on the power of money). The barriers are ineffective, and the capital = power equation holds, and monopolies result and get to do their killing & maiming thing (remember: even things like social media monopolies that you wouldn't expect to pay for political assassinations like a mining company still profit from inciting genocides). *Sometimes* there are oligopolies instead of monopolies, but instances of really competitive markets are pretty rare for things that are widely sought-after.
The "government will manage the markets to prevent bad outcomes like monopolies" strategy has failed repeatedly, spectacularly, and almost universally. To actually prevent monopolies you need a population that no longer believes that money should equal power, it's that simple. Sadly, it's actually not that simple, since all of the alternatives which equate something else to power, like "the king" or "party loyalty as judged by the supreme leader" have the same problems or worse. The attitude you need to cultivate is "nobody should have power," which is hard because *all* of the power-systems we have constantly propagandize against this attitude in myriad ways. Still, in the future once we've broken free of this age where hierarchy is accepted, people will look back and wonder whether the historical records are even credible given how much needless death and suffering were endured with little resistance.

Our medical insurance system super sucks when hospital staff recommend to the spouse of an ill patient that the spouse seek a divorce in order to avoid huge medical bills.
(I remember when my mother got a hospital statement for well over $200k to cover some of her deceased husband's medical bills incurred while dying at that hospital.)

#tfw, as a preliterate, Neolithic age person, you think hey, what if I make some marks on this stone so I can come back later and remember what I was doing, and what if I let someone else know about it too, and they can remember it, and let others know it, and how to make their own marks. Nah, that’s a slippery slope right there. No knowing where that will go. And here we are.

Dear University Administrators,
"Part of my job is to protect the university" is:
1. A terrible excuse when you are actually impeding the core work of the university.
2. Will accomplish nothing with the faculty trying to do that core work other than convince us that you don't remember why the institution is here in the first place.

I remember a friend who worked at a company that made a popular browser, and complained that I didn't have any "skin in the game" when I constantly complained about the browser the company was building.
Great guy, but I could not accept "be quiet, you are not part of this" when I am a browser user, web user, former-web developer (1995-2010) and just a person who gives a shit about privacy, security, and enshittification in general.

Training cannot correct for deficiencies resulting from a lack of vetting.
Remember what federal LEOs are normally screened for (CARLA F. BAD):
Character
Associates
Reputation
Loyalty
Ability
Finances
Bias
Alcohol/Addictions
Drugs
ICE is not being vetted against any of these.
Shut it down.

Old enough to remember 2013-02-07 when any web page that included a Facebook-supplied javascript resource (to enable the, once ubiquitous, Facebook Connect) redirected users to Facebook.
(It's the event that most informed my suspicion in using third-party javascript - without SRI.)
It's 2025: Facebook is retiring external like buttons, but Cloudflare is breaking captchas.

Yesterday I finished "A First Time for Everything" by Dan Santant. A lovely autobiographical graphic novel about a summer foreign exchange trip between middle and high school with plenty of awkwardness but also some romance.
It perfectly captures the state of an awkward but also self-aware pre-teen/young teenager, and the various international escapades depicted are both hilarious and touching. Also fascinating to read about international travel circa 1989, which in many ways was comparable to stuff I remember from late in the 90s: parents seeing you off at the gate; expected to navigate a foreign city with just a map, etc.
A really fun book.

Some scenes from yesterday's small, poorly publicized protest at the US Supreme Court. My favorite sign was the one that had a picture of John Roberts, with a quote from his confirmation hearing: "I will remember that my job is to call ball and strikes". Below that, commentary, "Well, ump, you suck!"

The main takeaway from Trump threatening to use the Insurrection Act is that he is able to remember and repeat this unfamiliar multi-syllable word, which implies that people adjacent to him must be talking about it an awful lot

"We don’t really think about our future – we remember it",
said Dr Hal Hershfield, who studies how humans think about time and how that influences our emotions and behaviors.
When we daydream or envision ourselves at a later point, we essentially create a memory.
We then use these memories to construct our ideas about the future.
This process is called “episodic future thinking”;
it supports our decision-making, emotional regulation and ability to p…

The euphoria on the right after the unjustifiable kidnapping of Nicolšs Maduro has ended an era of illusion.
No more is Donald Trump’s movement interested in posturing for the credulous as restorers of peace.
No more is there outward deception or internal struggle over the meaning of Trumpist foreign policy.
There is only violent, extractive dominance politics abroad
to match violent, extractive dominance politics at home.

The two relics of exploding stars are black holes and neutron stars.
Both were discovered by women.
Jocelyn Bell discovered neutron stars, in the guise of “pulsars”, in 1967.
Since then, three Nobel prizes have gone to male scientists for their work on pulsars, but none to Bell.
Louise Webster, the co-discoverer of black holes, has been largely forgotten.
Unless, of course, you remember her name.

Politicians have now discovered that people are using Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) to protect their privacy and bypass invasive laws.
Their solution?
Entirely ban the use of VPNs. 
Yes, really.
As of this writing, Wisconsin lawmakers are escalating their war on privacy
by targeting VPNs in the name of “protecting children”
in A.B. 105/S.B. 130.
