Day #8 of cleaning up litter along my commute route.
It's been a few weeks since I was last out, and only a half a bag needed to be cleaned up along the whole damn thing.
I was expecting much worse than that.

I am reading Wolfe Hall, by Hilary Mantel - I must read everything she has written: brilliant stuff.
Anyway, I just came across this glorious line: Thomas Cromwell speaking with King Henry VIII, "“No ruler in the history of the world has ever been able to afford a war. They’re not affordable things."
And I wish we had a Thomas Cromwell today, who would have the courage to speak truth to power.

Does anyone remember that episode of The Simpsons where their washing machine got moldy and everyone started calling them The Stinksons?
I accidentally left some clothes in my washing machine, and now I'm thinking about that episode as I do what I can to remedy the situation.
Bleach, vinegar, borax, baking soda, and hot water to the rescue.

I don't travel much, but I was in New York City recently, and ended up on the highway outside of the city.
The fact that this landscape in #NewJersey was so close to how "Jersey" is depicted in #StephenUniverse is absolutely hilarious.
(Yes, I know not all of New Jersey actually looks like this. 😁 )

CW: CW: Injury-related
Does anyone else have any experience getting back to their physical routines after an #Injury?
It's going to be #Winter soon, but I still want to get out onto my #Bicycle as soon as I possibly can.
A #Hernia has been keeping me from commuting by #Bike, but I'll put some grippier, chunkier tires on and bundle up if I have to.
My #Doctor says two more weeks. Maybe I'll upgrade my #Ubuntu machine to 22.04 in the mean time.

CW: CW: Silly rant about gatekeeping bicyclists
I don't use a kickstand, but the amount of hate that people get over at #Reddit's /r/bicycling when people ask about kickstands is ridiculous.

Fast food feels fuzzy
'Cause it's made from stuff that's scuzzy
I always thought I was such a nerd
I refused to touch that strange bean curd
I wouldn't eat it— ow! — but it ate you!Ahh-eee-ooh
Killer Tofu
Eee-ahh-eee
Ooh-eee-ooh

I made a huge batch of Tuscan bean soup the other day, and it's already nearly gone.
My partner doesn't like the texture of celery, so I liquefied a package of celery rather than chopping it.
Also, I soaked more beans than I meant to... but it still came out delicious.

"What do you mean you don't want your data, messages, and Internet usage monitored? Don't you care about the children?!"
This is one of the arguments that the #US and #EU are using right now to attempt to sway public opinion against encryption. They're calling tech/web organizations' resistance to government backdoors "hypocracy," because some companies have complied with repressive governments.
"But why not with *our* governments?!"
The usual Helen Lovejoy argument is being used to justify more snooping.
Here's a sample of how they're spinning things, written in the minutes of the EU-US Senior Officials Meeting on Justice an Home Affairs:
16-17 March, 2023
"A point of reference in this
regard is the 2021 G7 Statement which speaks of ‘maintaining tightly controlled lawful access to
data’; indeed, law enforcement is not seeking new powers but to preserve its ability to investigate.""On end-to-end encryption, the US delegation noted a certain hypocrisy in the position of web
platforms that resisted constructive engagement on lawful access with liberal democracies, while being liable to bow to pressure in more repressive jurisdictions.""Beyond encryption, data retention
and data processing were also identified as areas of focus by the US delegation. It confirmed that
the fight against online child exploitation and abuse remained a national priority."Full document for context: https://www.statewatch.org/media/3804/eu-usa-som-jha-meeting-outcome-7725-23.pdf

It's been a very, very long time since I had to burn any sort of optical media. I'm glad I finally get to use one of the blank #DVDs that I have laying around for something. :D
I'm burning a copy of Windows 10 Enterprise for a friend.

Hey, @georgetakei — what's the story with this photo I stumbled upon? Definitely some awesome weirdness going on.

📖 📚 📖
If anyone is unable to get a copy of a book that has been banned by their local/school library, I personally volunteer to help find you an electronic copy.
📚 📖 📚No one should be restricted from reading something because it acknowledges a person's experience or existence— whether because of race, gender, sexuality, or whatever. My ask is that you keep any copies I give you to help distribute to others.
@ me directly if you need help finding anything.
In the mean time, consider archiving and reading these books, and books like them: https://www.ala.org/advocacy/bbooks/frequentlychallengedbooks/top10
...and donating to The Merritt Fund to help librarians whose jobs and funding are threatened: https://www.ala.org/aboutala/affiliates/relatedgroups/merrittfund/merritthumanitarian

Well, it looks like this whole channel was nuked by YouTube. Here's the recovered video so we can all bask in its gloriousness.
Credit goes to Chuck AI Dubs, who lost his entire channel because of YouTube's policies.

CW: CW: Club Q Mass Shooting
Organizations like #FocusOnTheFamily lobby for #LGBTQ+ people to be legally marginalized and discriminated against, usually with excuses like "religious freedom" and "protecting children".
Focus on the Family had its headquarters vandalized with this message after the #ClubQ shooting in #Colorado.
Not my photo. I'm posting it here because it's important for people to see.
Down with hate.

I've been going through and doing my best to organize my #Music library in a standardized way, and I'm trying to get all of my files and folders looking like this. I've also gone through and similarly standardized all of the #ID3 tags.
Does anyone else get picky and a little bit ridiculous with the organization of files and/or music collections?
The pictures show how I organize my music collection. I'm using my Matthew Ebel folder as an example, because I just got it all nice and organized (#ID3 tags and all). I know there are some holes in the collection, which I'm doing my best to fill in.
If anyone isn't familiar with @matthewebel's music, take a listen and see if you like it. I highly recommend it:
