That blows my mind.
This is strictly true. It has three sides. It also has three other sides. It also has four, five, and six sides. Now, if you'd said it has *only* three sides...

I’ve had three days off this past year besides weekends, only one sick day
I’m still poor
Ocean's Eleven, but it's a bunch of gays teaming up to steal jockstraps from an NFL locker room. You got your furry network security guy taking out the cameras, the smooth-talking chaos bisexual who seduces the guards, the extremely autistic lockpicking nerd, the Car Gay getaway driver, the muscle queen personal trainer who works as the man on the inside...

Billionaires are OCD patients with Financial Hoarding Disorder. They have no need that for that much money, and no amount will EVER satisfy their mental illness. They will literally kill millions in order to accumulate more.
They need to have their hoard confiscated, and given mental health treatment, and if they don’t respond to the treatment, then they need to be institutionalized for being a danger to society.

Yep. I’m a communist but let’s be fair, this is not even a problem with capitalism. It’s not a win-lose situation where the oligarchs make money off of your misery. It’s a lose-lose where your misery causes lower productivity and the only thing that fuels it is a shitty, psychotic culture of dominance, obedience and puritan values.

oh, look: more phishing attempts...be on your guard
@glynmoody always love to see this one 🙄🙄🙄 /ahem….
@timberwraith This is why I largely avoid talking politics around liberal type folks offline, in general. I get nowhere except frustrated & they're not worth increasing my blood pressure.
@PhoenixSerenity I'm slowly learning this lesson. Too slowly it seems.
Check out this talk of mine tomorrow, Friday, 23rd October 2026:
Hidden Patterns in the Standard Model
One famous physics popularizer has claimed that while the Standard Model is "the most successful physical theory ever proposed, it is also one of the ugliest". Another possibility is that the Standard Model is more beautiful than we realize, and holds clues we do not yet understand. Here we review some attempts to find hidden patterns in the Standard Model, going back to the work of Georgi, Glashow, Pati and Salam but leading up to recent ideas connected to the octonions.
I'm giving the talk from 13:00 to 14:00 UK time at the Higgs Centre Seminar Room of the James Clerk Maxwell Building at the University of Edinburgh, but you can also join online:

CoMaps
It is in beta and I am one person, so it has bugs. I build it with heavy use of AI assistants and test it on real phones. It is GPLv3 so it can outlive me, and I will never charge money for it.
So it’s a vibe coded map app that just asks Google for traffic data? you might as well just use Google maps in your browser if it’s that big of a deal for you

some people on lemmy were posting about magic earth www.magicearth.com
it’s not FOSS but it uses OSM.
we tried it for about a year. Navigation is better but we didn’t need “traffic calculation”. I’m sure others who are still on it would have better feedback about it.
It may be your degoogled solution 🤷
I used to use magic earth but i switched for some reason – maybe they moved live traffic behind a subscription? I can’t remember.
Anyway, Here We Go is free and has live traffic

At the SOTM they announced they are working on traffic time integration, i don’t think we have already a date for the release. Minute 15:40 comaps.app/…/comaps-at-state-of-the-map-2026/

I saw a clip from Jordon Klepper or similar, covering CPAC. Ranswami had just given a speech and one of the attendees said:
he said a lot of things I like, but I just can’t support him… because of 911. 😂

TBF Brazil is only richer than Portugal in terms of GDP, because it has like 15 times the population. Portugal still has twice the GDP (PPP) per capita of Brazil. Of course, in terms of politically power, Brazil dwarfs Portugal, which is probably more important for this particular issue.
Almost Halloween. Asher, the bee-cat.

For some reaso I read that to the tune of "almost heaven, west Virginia" (from take me home, country roads).
It fit pretty well.
