I can't say it's a surprise, not for some decades now, really, but it's always interesting how often people hear the advice to go exercise, which I have preached at people most of my life, and immediately respond with reasons that they can't, and upset at the advice.
And the truth is, of course, that there is a lot of variation in humans. Some people really can't do this sort of thing.

I miss the days when journalists had to worry about running out of space in the newspaper.
It produced a particular kind of journalism, called the pyramid. The idea was that you would put the most critical parts of your story in the first lines, the 5 Ws, followed by the next most critical, followed by whatever background might be relevant.
The horseshit "journalism" we get today, the idea is simply to keep you reading as long as possible.

As nuclear fusion is twenty years away forever, so too is Iran months away from a nuclear bomb, forever.
You can understand Iran's interest in it. Living in a world where barbarian war criminals (and simple criminals) like Netenyahu and Trump are in control of nukes, any sane person would want one. I wish California had nukes.

I won't use the not-a-human-not-a-thinker word, but some kind of machine like that gave me the actual recipe for Marie Callender's Thousand Island dressing, which I'd looked for several times over the years.
Except actually better. Mine doesn't have onions in it. It's a trivial amount in the first place, but still better without.
The "secret step?" Is. Not in any of the previous recipes I tried.

I've been asked if I would really hang members of the Trump administration.
*Hell* yes. After a fair trial, sure, I'm not one of them.
Who? Trump Hegseth Miller Noem for *starters.* Prison for a lot of the rest, but those are murderers and war criminals.

Innumerate racism is still racism.
They point to crimes committed by undocumented immigrants. Yes. Of course they exist. Undocumented people commit crimes, some quite horrific.
Also, there are people who've drawn to an inside straight and filled it.
The undocumented commit violent crimes at a lower rate than those born here. Get rid of them? The crime *rate* goes up.This is basic math: your fellow natives are likelier to kill you than the undocumented.

In War of the Worlds, 1953, the main character is a professor at Pacific Tech.
In Real Genius, 1985, the action is set at Pacific Tech.
Obviously Hollywood completely missed out on the correct play, the Pacific Tech Cinematic Universe.

I'm impatient with people driven by hate. Black people, Israelis, Muslims, feminists, whomever: hatred based on anything but the conduct of those you hate is a sign you're broken.
But I really do see a distinction between that -- in the U.S., at least -- and almost all Christian white hatred. Hatred among people who've been damaged? I don't like it, I won't have it pointed at me and mine or anyone innocent. But I *understand.*

Casino Royale 1967 is an almost unimaginably bad movie.
I'd never managed to finish it until tonight.
Starring:
Peter Sellers, Ursula Andress, David Niven, Woody Allen, Joanna Pettet, Orson Welles, Daliah Lavi, Deborah Kerr, William Holden, Charles Boyer, Jean-Paul Belmondo, George Raft, John Huston, Terence Cooper, Barbara Bouchet
It's always mildly interesting to me when that much talent makes something this bad.

All you can do is follow your conscience. Make sure it is your conscience talking and not your resentments or insecurities: spend some time in dialog with your conscience to make sure you've examined the advice it's giving you. Read people who disagree with you, *particularly* people who almost agree with you but not quite, and make sure you can articulate the reasons you disagree with them.

@cstross@wandering.shop @tartley@fosstodon.org the near certainty of a crash in the close future makes even a relative techno-optimist like myself hold his breath a little. The field hasn't been healthy for a while, and while there are bright spots here and there, it's being driven by AI and surveillance tech at this point. I was mid-career when the 2000 crash occurred, and I'm retired today.

@cstross@wandering.shop 1, yes. 2, there's not a big gap between American Christian nationalists and hardcore racists.
Racism and misogyny are the core of white Christian nationalism. The only thing beyond that is abortion, and this is something they literally made up back in the late '70s/early '80s so they could have something to feel morally superior about, because they were tired of being dragged as the world's worst fucking people. They don't really care about it, of course.

@cstross@wandering.shop just buy any TV or monitor that you like, and never connect it to the internet.
They're making me retest every year at this point. I'm probably a decade away from needing cataract surgery, but they're still making me test -- written and driving -- every single year. It's a massive pain in the butt.

@cstross@wandering.shop aside from black levels, my current 5-year-old TV is pretty good. 43 in, 4K, 60 HZ. But it's getting old.
I can see the difference between 120 HZ and 60 HZ, usually when panning in fast action in movies.
I can see some minor graininess in text occasionally, at 4K.
Three things that my next/last monitor should give me -- 120hz for 24fps x5 without 3:2 pulldown; much better blacks; and perfect sharpness at 43 in, though I think I'd probably prefer something a little smaller.
