Dutch answer to the removal of the boards at #Margraten US military cemetery, honoring black US soldiers who died while liberating the Netherlands in WWII. This grave injustice went counterproductive for the US government, as shown.

Running pre-Christmas errands, a relative who likes cannabis wanted to stop at the dispo. I strolled in too, and at the checkout counter I noticed a sign about Tuesdays. Couldn’t resist, told the relative to consider this part of their Christmas present and pulled out my credit card.
Just so I could say I got the Senior Citizens discount on a bag of weed.
Best of the season to everyone.

I'm having a right bugger of a time upgrading my desktop from Debian 12 to 13 (trixie). Of course it's down to NVIDIA.
It has a GTX 1080 Ti which worked mostly okay under Debian 12 and version 535.something of their drivers. I was a little disappointed to find I still had to hack udev rules to convince gdm to offer a Wayland session. Finally get into Wayland and find it spams me with kernel OOPS:

A couple of months ago Bali experienced its worst floods in more than a decade.
-- They came at the peak of the dry season.
Instead of the empty wells farmers faced last year,
this time their crops were washed away;
roads turned into brown, swirling rivers;
houses collapsed in the torrents;
and 17 people were killed.

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.
