  1. A quotation from Eric Hoffer

    They who clamor loudest for freedom are often the ones least likely to be happy in a free society. The frustrated, oppressed by their shortcomings, blame their failure on existing restraints. Actually, their innermost desire is for an end to the “free for all.” They want to eliminate free competition and the ruthless testing to which the individual is continually subjected in a free society.

    Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
    True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements, Part 2, ch. 5, § 28 (1951)

  5. @davoyager I’m not saying #Faux is to blame: #religion has been herding their #truebelievers long before #murdoch (and the #republicans, etc…) found they could capitalize on it

    I can’t tell you what percentage of the population is insecure with ambiguity and tends towards #blackandwhite answers, irrespective of facts, but I’d say anecdotally: it’s around half the population (more than would say they are religious… and I don’t mean to imply all religious folk are #truebelievers )

  9. "Runaround Sue" is a #rockAndRoll song (in a modified #doowop style), originally a US No. 1 #Hot100 hit (No. 4 on the #HotRAndB chart) for the singer #Dion during 1961, after he split with #theBelmonts. It was written by Dion with #ErnieMaresca, and tells the story of a disloyal lover. The song ranked No. 351 on the #RollingStone list of "#The500GreatestSongsOfAllTime". In 2002, Dion was inducted into the #GrammyHallOfFame for "Runaround Sue".

  10. A quotation from Eric Hoffer

    The truth seems to be that propaganda on its own cannot force its way into unwilling minds; neither can it inculcate something wholly new; nor can it keep people persuaded once they have ceased to believe. It penetrates only into minds already open, and rather than instill opinion it articulates and justifies opinions already present in the minds of its recipients. The gifted propagandist brings to a boil ideas and passions already simmering in the minds of his hearers. he echoes their innermost feelings. Where opinion is not coerced, people can be made to believe only in what they already “know.”

  11. @gilduran.com my take was anybody who tries to unite nations will get labeled as the #antichrist by #peterthiel and the #christofascist #truebelievers#isolationism (and the #fascism that comes with it) are somehow the only recourse.

    Nesta estancia e con continuidade desde novembro do 2022, en #mastodon penso que un ou dous anos antes, pero sen continuidade.

  14. @benlockwood Sadly, doc, the 'dumbing-down' of the more wealthy, powerful democracies, like America, have left adaptation at an all-time low.

    This is why I suggest to those with children, that they seriously consider #EmergingEconomies in #DevelopingCountries, like #TheGlobalSouth involved with #TheBeltAndRoadInitiative. Ironically it's now 'Communist' China that's leading the way toward #sustainability.

  20. "Being strong enough to face the carnage, and to live in its midst, he knew when it was a good day to visit my mom or my aunt or my cousin, and he knew when it was a bad day. He could tell when seeing someone hungover, strung out, or in jail would be better than not seeing them at all." —Joshua Hunt for The Believer

  21. Just got round to playing with a set of Schwalbe CLIK valves.

    As hoped, these are a game changer for disc (in the aerodynamic rather than braking sense) wheels, where you need a narrow right-angle head to fit through the hole in the disc. The positive click action requires surprisingly little force, seals perfectly and opens the valve fully so you can get a sensible pressure gauge reading. Unlike most right-angle adaptors, it stays put so you have both hands available to operate the pump. And disconnects quickly without loss of air.

    My Road Morph Presta head inflates them fine.

    Not sure how much of a benefit they are for tubeless (never had much luck with that), but they do seem like a win for disc wheels or anyone who struggles with conventional valves and pump heads due to hand impairments.

    Main downside compared to Presta is that they need a special type of valve cap...
