  1. I #make all sorts of #bag -s. I think that the popularity of this #beltbag is the outcome of the fact that #men actually do have #necessities and there is absolutely no place to put them. Pockets are common, of course, but they're not #bottomless . So this #leatherbag usually holds a phone and may be few cards as well, when a pocket gets added :)

  2. #AI, open source or otherwise, is an existential threat to millions of people's #livelihoods.

    Either we, as a #society, come up with a way that people can maintain or even improve their lives while working less...

    or we'll end up in a #dystopian society where a few billionaires will have all the #manufacturing means forcing the rest of us to #beg, #steal and scrape together what little we can to buy daily #necessities from those same billionaires.

  3. A quotation from Horace

                    You sleep, gaping,
    On your bags of gold, adore them like hallowed
    Relics not meant to be touched, stare as at gorgeous
    Canvases. Money is meant to be spent, it buys pleasure:
    Did you know that? Bread, vegetables, wine, you can
    Buy almost everything it’s hard to live without.
     
                [Congestis undique saccis
    indormis inhians et tamquam parcere sacris
    cogeris aut pictis tamquam gaudere tabellis.
    Nescis, quo valeat nummus, quem praebeat usum?
    Panis ematur, holus, vini sextarius, adde
    quis humana sibi doleat natura negatis.]

    Horace (65-8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
    Satires [Saturae, Sermones], Book 1, # 1, “Qui fit, Mæcenas,” l. 70ff (1.1.70-75) (35 BC) [tr. Raffel (1983)]

  4. I JUST GOT OODLES OF CLEANING SUPPLIES + A FULL FLATWARE SET FROM MY WISHLIST.💞💞

    My mother unpacked them before dropping them off so I wouldn't have to deal with the wrappings, so I don't know who got them for me. My wish list doesn't show them as purchased. Please DM me so that I can thank you!
