#TIL that #spotify offers paid content that is not included in the premium subscription.
(Luckily, same release is included in my local library subscription. Also via app.)

Someone mentioned the "awesome" web site for Milwaukee Critical Mass, but I think they may have been taking the piss...
But honestly, I'd rather see this than an overdone 'full of shit' web site with too much.
As it is, it gives the basic info. Sometimes that's all you need.
Although (sigh) it looks like it hasn't been updated since April.

The 43rd issue of The #Comet's Tale from the BAA is full of interesting articles: https://britastro.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/tail43.pdf (in https://britastro.org/section_information_/comet-section-overview/the-comets-tale all issues).

Google has been downgrading the search results of smaller web sites offering human-written quality information, claims Nate Hake of Travel Lemming in a long explanation, citing many sources and developments.
Many of these changes appear to happen when #Google embraced #AI and removed the "hum…

I keep seeing smart people writing stuff like
> [the US] kept peace through strength balanced with restraint, and wielded influence through culture, values, and diplomacy
I understand that #Trump is terrible and some people feel tempted to idealize what they had before him, but we should be more discerning, or otherwise it becomes impossible to understand how this happened in the first place.
Let's start with some questions:
- peace where? and for who? was it true peace, or "Pax Romana"?
- are we going to take seriously that statement on "restraint"? after all the lies, internal witch hunting, sanctions, coups, wars, invasions, genocides, and last but not least, 2 unnecessary nuclear strikes on Japan?
Now, on "culture, values, and diplomacy". Sure. Why not. Not everything was going to be bad, right?
But the thing is, abusive husbands aren't bad all the time either. From time to time they know how to be sweet and seem to care: one present here, flowers the next day, a little bit of gaslighting, and fake apologies after that "accidental" slap.
Given enough time (if the wife is still alive), at some point the victim decides to leave, and then all hell breaks loose. Trump is the manifestation of that moment. He does not represent a change in #USA's nature, but a hidden side that was "always" there, just waiting to play its role.
Others believe this is because #US citizens have been intentionally dumbed down by a combination of propaganda and a disfunctional education system, and I'm sure it's partly true... But let's see what many of their most brilliant and educated citizens are choosing to do with their lives today: https://sfstandard.com/2025/03/12/stanford-students-want-in-on-the-military-tech-gold-rush/
So, all I'm asking is: please drop the act. It was always a clusterfuck.

Yesterday, for the first time in the modern history of Spain, the whole country was left without electricity and with the communications of the end of the analog era.
Children had to play ball in the parks, families had to have barbecues in the parks and play board games... And I had to read a book. Going back to the 20th century was hell!
