  • Been listening to Soma.fm for a long time. Groove Salad and Indie Pop Rocks. Sometimes they play really strange stuff on one or the other, so that’s about when I will switch channels.

  • “I’m being evaluated for terminal cancer. I’m gonna have a great time.”

  • If one earns $10,000 per year, a $2,000 annual tax is 20% of annualized income.

    If one earns $100,000 per year, it’s 2%.

    The less one earns, taxes are a greater proportion of total income.

    Often, flat tax concepts come (or should come with) tax exemptions for actual low-income folks.

  • There is a mechanism.

    Nobody discusses it in polite conversation.

  • I've been up here long enough, right now I've been trying to remember what it's like to walk. I haven't walked. I haven't sat down. I haven't laid down,' she said during a video call with students at Needham High School in Massachusetts on Monday.

  • Not World News; more like World Clickbait:

    Now, over 55 years later, investigators in Jackson County, Missouri, are set to hold a press conference Thursday afternoon which they promise will bring 'closure' to the notorious case.

    'We hope that by bringing closure to this case, we can provide a sense of resolution not only to the friends and families of the innocent victims she murdered but also to those who were affected by her actions, including her loved ones,' Jackson County Sheriff's Department said in a statement announcing the briefing.

    …IOW, they don’t actually know yet because law enforcement has not released the details yet.

    Waste of a time to read.

    E: OP says she died; I missed it when I skimmed the article. Still buried the lede there.

  • They’ll regex those bug reports so fast it won’t even matter.

  • / --- / .-. / - / ..- / .-. / .

  • If you stop paying attention entirely

    This is the part which normalization works to accelerate. Every message is crafted to rally supporters and repulse opponents; enough to get one to tune out and stop paying attention. Do it long enough and whatever they want to do will be done without any scrutiny.

    This is one of the reasons the consolidation of mainstream independent media is a serious problem.

  • Subtly influencing events to improve the outcome of the Deadelus in their bid to leap between galaxies.

  • There are plenty of “compromised antenna” options for you; there are loads of amateur operators who simply run their antenna around the largest room in their apartment and make long-range communications. It’s not optimal, but it works.

    There’s a whole movement in amateur radio right now which relies on being light and portable. A 15 meter carbon fiber mast, some wire, 12v and 100W and you can work the world from a park.

  • Rule 1 of politics: Answer the question you want, not the question you’re asked.

  • I’m gonna run up my new wire and try and hunt on 10W!
