I second this advice: Please create art! Please practice your craft!
@ekarnowski you two look adorable!
@lisawilliams thank you!
For a while, I was under the impression that all spiciness, or burning sensation in food flavoring, would come from capsaicin, the compound that causes it in chili peppers. Then I realized that Sichuan peppers are a quite different kind of heat. Wasabi (horseradish) is different yet again.
How many hot-flavored compounds are there? At least five!

I still often think about the fact that Aaron Swartz was only 14 years old when he helped develop RSS..
Imagine what he could give us when given the chance 🙏
RIP Aaron♥️

@maccruiskeen So, just the “Good ol’ Boy Gang”…
After the polls close, the election outcome is generally determined, and it’s just a matter of letting the count proceed and waiting for the results. But one exception is provisional ballots, where campaigns continue their GOTV efforts to encourage those who voted that way to cure their ballots before the deadline.
Mississippi’s senate seat is likely to be decided by provisional ballots this year, so we’re seeing a lot of this activity now.
@mattblaze I'm not sure I understand the difference between this and just having polls running for longer than a day

@ekarnowski you two look adorable!
Thank you for all you do!
Thank you, that's very kind 🙂
I'm saying now it's not so much a mentality of losing by the voters, I'm saying the voters did what they could with a single election but we now have what we have for these next two years. And if they don't deliver it will end in a bigger disaster than Trump.
I'm not saying to stop trying, just pointing out centrism has put us behind, and it will continue to put us behind until we eject it entirely from the party. You cannot find a halfway point between fascism and progress
@contrasocial Very well said. The war against billionaire corporate fascism continues. We are at a critical juncture. Handing power over at this stage to a couple of their lackies would be a critical mistake.

Successful night tonight, my chums. Very lovely to have unlocked a new level in life of going out with non-drinking male friends. Difficult to convey the alcohol culture in the UK, but you're basically indoctrinated into going out with your mates and getting annihilated on alcohol and that's essentially your whole social and personal relationships. Unsurprisingly this has a knock on effect to many other areas of your lives. Culturally it's not terribly healthy. So I'm thrilled to have discovered going out on a Saturday night to a shisha joint and just banging a load of sparkling water, tea, a bit of food and having a shisha. Also not terrifically good for you, but a far cry from drinking 8 pints and getting in fights. Had a laugh, talked about our feelings and listened to one another and came away from it validated and positive and crucially will wake up tomorrow (today) feelin' fine. Although I went slightly overboard on the sweet potato fries and hummus. Like a wildman. Men! You too can do this and still be a total double-dog alpha male. Grrr. Had so much hummus mate. You should have seen my BiL. Went mental on the shisha and had 4 cokes. We cannot be stopped. Also - we talked about our hopes and worries in a way that was supportive and nurturing. Oi oiiiiii!
@TheBreadmonkey also, congrats on the new level of manly socialization. the feels! all the feels!! 🖤
Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi is such a strange show, I'm not really sure who it's for?
Is it an attempt to get idol culture to catch on in America so Warner Music could expand that market? Well, not really - it has live-action idol promo video-esque segments, but viewers mostly seemed confused by them.
Is it an attempt to court anime fans like Teen Titans did? Then why bother using it to promote a real band at all?
Sam Register even said outright that WB thought the market wasn't there yet like it was for anime. He also implied that it was mostly happenstance that he learned about the band when seeing them interviewed on TV while he was visiting Japan, and he thought a girl-rock show would bolster CN's female viewership (Likely while riding the coattails of the Japanophillia boom, but he didn't say that outright).
If you don't know for sure some may hang on to that thread like a lifeline.
My aunt died in her home, we had to get a welfare check. My mom lived in a head space for ages on what she could have done differently to help. Even though the my aunt took a year to agree to go out to dinner, she was such a shut in. Still, my mom struggled. Grief is hard, and weird. Hope can help people avoid accepting death.
But there is a difference between knowing she was dead for maybe 10 days, and knowing for sure she was eaten by her cats.
We're the kind of family that will make macabre jokes about that sort of thing, now that enough time had passed, but it was not so pleasant when trying to catch said cats in her home.
@sewblue Oooh, yikes on the cats!
