I’ve been around a while too, and I can vouch for this.
I remember somebody telling me with deadly earnestness circa 1999 that Java Beans were going to make it so that business analysts could write integration code themselves, no developers. Java Beans.

"The cult of goal-setting thrives in this illusion. It converts uncertainty into an illusion of progress. It demands specificity in exchange for comfort. And it replaces self-trust with the performance of future-planning."

Democratic Senator Chris Murphy
tweeted:
“Important to remember that Trump isn’t trying to heal or keep the peace.
He is looking to inflame and divide.
His movement doesn’t believe in democracy or protest
– and if they get a chance to end the rule of law they will take it.
None of this is on the level.”

masks at protests / demographics 2/n
I wonder about the influence of employment, as well. If you're at risk every work day, I could well imagine it seeming pointless to start being careful the rest of the time, and maybe just too cognitively dissonant to consider.
I remember in 2020, someone I knew was working at Waterstones, and they were forbidden to mask up at work - even though 2020 was before the whole "covid is over" thing.
I also remember reading about someone - maybe a nurse? that _kind_ of job, anyway - who'd started wearing a fitted mask while the default in their workplace was baggy blues, and iirc was formally rebuked. It wasn't allowed.
If for whatever reason you're unable to hold down a typical job, you might not have much cash for _getting_ things like masks, but you're also not under that same kind of economic pressure to put yourself at risk.

Content warning: re: Doctor Who - Reality War
:tardis:

Confusing episode. Let me clear it all up.
The world is sinking into the doubt needed to rescue Omega, remember, and The Doctor is falling with a balcony that's separated from the building.
How does he get out of that?
Well, saved by a literal magic door that pops out of nowhere, leading back to the time hotel. 🤨
Anita, who he spent a year with once a couple of Christmases ago, has been popping around the Doctor's entire long life, peeping on him with the Daleks and stuff. Trying to find him on the Earth's last day. Today.
And now he's rescued, today turns into a groundhog day. Same day over and over again. 😆
There's another woman that's been stalking him through time lately, Mrs Flood. She was following him everywhere, but she had Xmas off she reckons, so didn't see the Time Hotel bit. Thus the element of surprise in the deus ex machina rescue. 😀
The Doctor is broken free of the wish spell now anyway, popped his conditioning, and can use the time hotel's door to recall Unit and break them all out of the wish too.
The Rani pops in to say hi and explain her plans. 😝
How did the Rani survive the end of the Timelords? She flipped her DNA to sidestep the genetic bomb apparently? Well that makes no sense, but nor does anything else so no time to ponder.
The end of the Time Lords made them all Barons... No, made them barren. There can be no more children of the time-lords.
She's popping Omega back out of the underworld for his DNA because the timelords are all barren and she wants to recreate Galifrey.
But wait a minute: Poppy is the Doctor's kid in wish world! So she should have Timelord DNA too! Maybe that could work?
No. The Rani is a nazi, don't like the kid's contaminated blood. She's got human all over her DNA. Eww.
Rani pops off back to her Bone Palace, and makes the bone beasts attack.
The Doctor explains that the Giant dinosaur skeletons are beasts that pop in to clean up the world when there's a reality flux, and the Rani has turned them on Unit HQ.
So the UNIT HQ turns into some kinda ship? Like the Crimson Permanent Insurance. Lol. It's blasting lasers at the bone beasts and turning around, and has a steering wheel like pirate ship now. 🤣
During the battle, the Doctor pops out to take a ride on the sky-bike, looking like something from Flash Gordon, and crashes into the Bone Palace.
Too late though! Omega is pretty much here now. He's a giant boney CGI zombie, become his own legend. Looks great but doesn't really seem like Omega, who ought to be held together by pure will.
Omega eats the Rani! One of the Ranis anyway. Mrs Flood avoids being eaten. She pops off with the time bracelet. "So much for the Two Rani's. It's a goodnight from me!" as she disappears off into time. Great gag. 😁
The Doctor just shoots Omega to get him back into his box. Pops a rifle off the wall. The Vindicator has apparently also got a built in laser as well as locator beacons. So that's handy. The Doctor doesn't use guns but some of his devices work like one. 🔫
So all is well! The day is saved and the wish is over and baby Poppy survives in a time box! 🍻
They're going to take the space baby off to do space adventures. Ruby is jealous of seeing The Doctor and Belinda vibing like that, as they plan a life in space with the space baby. Aww. Poor Ruby. 😭
But then Poppy pops off! Disappears entirely, and everyone other than Ruby forgets. Ruby remembers because she's disappeared from time herself in the past they say.
Okay: to save his child and on Ruby's word alone, the Doctor will sacrifice himself to turn reality one degree.
He goes off to commit suicide by Regeneration, but Thirteen is here! She's popped out of her timeline to stop him! Or maybe to help, with a motivational chat instead. Gives him a pep talk then pops back off again.
The Doctor zaps reality with his Tardis, dying but holding off on the actual regeneration for a few moments to go check on the kid.
The kid is safe! But isn't his own kid any more. Poppy has popped all her Timelord DNA and is just all human now. Poppy's pop isn't the doc, it's someone called Richie.
And Belinda has been so keen to get home all this time in order to get back to her Baby! Who isn't a timelord, and definitely didn't exist until she was wished into being.
This may not be the most ethical action The Doctor has ever taken: To bend the whole universe in order to recreate a baby that was accidentally wished into being out of nothing. Twisting time to give a child to a nurse who didn't previously have a child, or even remember the wish. Then it's not even the same child that disappeared, coz this one is all human. 🤷
But the doc is popping off to regenerate with Joy in the stars, and... Turns blonde: "oh. Hello?" 🤯
It's Rose! Billie Piper is back? Fantastic!
Is Rose doing a David Tennant Impression there?
Billie playing the Doctor, doing a Tennant impression as Bad Wolf? Amazing. Can't wait.

This commemoration honors the victims of the Herero and Nama genocide, perpetrated by German colonial forces between 1904 and 1908. During this period, tens of thousands of Herero and Nama people were killed through mass executions, forced displacement, and starvation.

Today is the release of #Netflix adaptation of El #Eternauta (The Eternaut). I haven't seen it yet, but I highly encourage you to do it. The Eternaut is the holy grail of Argentine comics and science fiction. Set on an alien invasion in Buenos Aires, Argentina, I can still remember the fascination the…

I'm doing my French homework and the textbook is talking about the mid 90s and how the UK, ruled by an iron fist(!) banned outdoor dance festivals and "music with a repetitive beat". Leading to the "French Touch" - the rise of French groups like Daft Punk and Stardust.
It's weird seeing an era I was around for discussed like ancient history especially as it doesn't really match how I remember it.

This is one of the most profound statements about writing/art that I've ever come across. When I was in music school it was hinted at in terms of songwriting but never approached as directly.

Archibald MacLeish wrote a touching poem on the war dead after "The Great War" (WWI).
Excerpt:
The Young Dead Soldiers Do Not Speak
They say, Whether our lives and our deaths were for peace and a new hope or for nothing we cannot say: it is you who must say this.
They say, We leave you our deaths. Give them their meaning.
We were young, they say. We have died. Remember us.
Full poem:

"Boris Johnson, fellow journalist, wrote about Keir Starmer. He said Keir was the orange ball-chewing manacled gimp of Brussels. And we always tell young journalists: write about what you know!
Some of you will remember that a lot of Tory MPs were actually found with orange balls in manacles at various stages of the last government.

Remember how banning guns because of one mass shooting in 20 years didn't reduce violent crime? Well, I'm sure if they just keep banning everything that ever gets used in a violent crime, human nature will just magically change, right?

I've felt that Remember Monday had a great chance at doing well with What The Hell Just Happened?, but I'm seeing mixed comments here and now I'm sad. I'm hoping it's just the usual, self-deprecating anti-UK voices out there. Great staging, great, fun vocals. If we get to the top of right hand side of the final leaderboard, I'd be happy with that. #GBR #UnitedKingdom #Eurovision

Remember, try to gather, early (so you get into the front row) across from the viewing stand (which will probably be on the south end of the white house lawn).
I recommend that when FFOTUS appears that you give him a full Braveheart mooning.
You can wear underwear - and I suggest that on the left side it has the letters "T A" and on the right "C O".
