  • Commercials seem to be normalizing an unhealthy work-life balance more.

  • Look into setting up Pi-hole. Blocks ads and trackers. Been using it for years.

    Also uBlock Origin as was mentioned.

    Haven’t seen any ads in a very long time, and that’s only when watching over-the-air local TV and my finger stays near the mute button.

    Advertising has become an omnipresent psychological assault.

  • US comedians defend decision to play in Saudi Arabia: ‘They’re paying me enough to look the other way’

    Jump

  • The lineup features Dave Chappelle, Louis CK, Bill Burr, Kevin Hart, Whitney Cummings, Pete Davidson, Aziz Ansari and Jo Koy, among many others who are all taking their fees directly from the Saudi government.

    Burr being on that list surprises me, but it said he’s also been to UAE. Davidson is pissing on his father’s grave.

    They have also taken flak from their peers. “The same guy that’s gonna pay them is the same guy that paid that guy to bone-saw Jamal Khashoggi and put him in a fucking suitcase,” said Marc Maron in a standup clip posted on his Facebook.

    Exactly.

    Greedy fucks, all of them.

  • I listen to an audiobook or podcast when doing mundane stuff like dishes, vacuuming or laundry. Didn’t start out as a hack or plan, just noticed how much more I got done listening to something I’m interested in.

  • Two books you might want to check out are The Death of Expertise by Tom Nichols and "The Tyranny of Merit" by Michael Sandel. Here is a link to his TED profile and talks. Both talk about why this is happening and how we got here. While somewhat depressing, I found both books very validating(? can't put a word to it) of all the frustration with family/friends these last years. Education has been gutted and imho real history is no longer taught. Add the internet and social media to the culture and suddenly everyone is an expert. In less than a year, he has destroyed the integrity, reputation and effectiveness of every federal agency made to keep us safe and let us sleep at night. The UN has been effectively neutralized by our vote on the security council. It's maddening beyond words and I'm scared shitless of what's to come.

  • Congrats!! What a wonderful achievement! Why stop at cake? I say, buy yourself a small gift as a lasting reminder to yourself of what you accomplished.

    Enjoy the day and I wish you continued success. 🥳 🎂

  • Sandy was all kinds of disheveled today lol.

    Jump

  • I know nothing about horse behavior. I understand the nervousness around the herd. When she kept running away, was she playing with you? Trying to get you to chase/run around with her? When she overdid it yesterday was that nerves or joy?

    Hope you don’t mind the questions. So glad you get to spend more time with her now and that’s she’s at a better farm. The updates always make me smile! Thanks PS: how’s her weight gain going?

  • Alice Walton’s prescription for a ‘broken’ US health system

    Jump

  • The world’s wealthiest woman has a blunt diagnosis of the sickness she has set out to cure. “Health care is going to break and bankrupt American companies, and America itself, if we don’t change it,” Alice Walton says in a forceful Southern drawl.

    Ah yes, of course. This has nothing to do with helping people get care or promoting things to keep them healthy so they don’t fall ill, etc. How twisted.

    This reads like a PR press release written to present itself as philanthropy when it’s nothing more than corporate strategy designed to keep the have-nots from bankrupting billionaires. Fuck her.

    Not promoting suicide. But my question is can someone with onset dementia and hire a person to put them down like a rabid dog? Or do I have to still be with it to jump off a building or bridge?
