  1. @Anoia I remember it as Uncle but it was a while ago I researched him It was in the 2002 @dwcon I had my remote controlled Errol for the Maskerade he ended up with a humpback due to weight problems. In the Maskerade I had to have my German friend in the picture below pull him along as the committee had health and safety reservations about him flying across the stage & over the audience as he was fully remote controllable despite me assuring the committee that it was filled with helium & not hydrogen but it was thought it might hit hot stage lights #SoItGoes. Whilst putting it together the night before I have fond memories of an Jewel Staite look&sound alike shout "Shiny" as I flew him along the hotel corridors just after 2am when I had just finished last minute construction. Damn that was almost a quarter of a century ago I am getting old but it beats the alternative😜

  2. "complicated" did awesome and terrible things. #soItGoes

  3. @maudenificent What gets me is the astounding levels of incompetence involved in the whole war I know Mr🍊 's administration has an aversion to anything Chinese but IIRC at one time Sun Tzu was taught in West Point but it seems those involved in running this war did not even download the Audible version & run it on double speed🤷‍♂️ . I agree with you, the only vaguely rational explanation for the war is mass corruption(or possibly an instruction from Putin maybe both) lining lots of peoples pockets with eye-watering 💲 sums the way the stock markets of the world have yo-yoed on Mr🍊 's comments on the war I suspect any of those who may have been prewarned made a financial killing of such size that it will be likely hard to hide & hope the administration will be eventually taken down Capone style for not paying enough taxes on their ill gotten gains. It is only a slim hope as Mr🍊 has IIRC pardoned & then employed or had employed by associates quite a number of reasonably skill-full convicted criminals who admittedly did get caught though they kept enough money/skills to pay for their get out of jail free cards🤷‍♂️ . And people wonder why I am so cynical about politics & politicians. #SoItGoes

  4. They will say it's painful but justified to bring democracy to #Iran. Despite all the evidence that this is not what Western elites care about, many will believe them. When it turns out otherwise, everybody will shrug and move on. The dead and brutalized forgotten. Short-term economic pain destroying small businesses without the savings to survive. But the already wealthy will be made better off by increasing returns on military industrial complex stocks and resource extraction deals. #SoItGoes

  5. @carstenfranke @Lana Yes it is a good time to rewatch #GoodOmens apparently Season 3 is coming out on May 13th providing of course Mr 🍊 postpones the actual #Apocalypse until after the MidTerm results🤞 ‼️ ‼️ 😜

  6. "Well all the time ya spend trying to get back what's been took from ya, more is going out the door. After a while you just have to try to get a tourniquet on it."
    --Ellis, "No Country For Old Men"

    I have a friend who was the funniest and most adventurous person in his twenties.

    In his sixties now, he's had some health scares and rough breaks that have left him vulnerable and deeply suspicious.

    Watching him retreat from the world has been heart-breaking.

  7. CW: slight melancholy

    tonight's late night philosophy fox inspired by aching feet from walking too much today and an aching heart from remembering relationships past

    Worry not, both will feel better in the morning. Such flare-ups are an inevitable part of a life lived :blobfoxwoozy:

  8. I knew Candice, though not nearly as well as many others. Even those whose lives she barely touched were sometimes deeply affected. Her absence is like a raw wound in the community(ies) we know will heal, and we know we will never be the same, the healed wound will be there, and the things we learned and shared, lost and found.

    The story never ends, but it does have some really hard chapter endings. #SoItGoes

  9. @RamenCatholic

    Or as Lemmy*1 said it it more plainly in the song from the movie😜 ⤵️

    *1 As a #Discworld fan my loyalties were divided on Element 117 though I think we could have compromised with an Octarine Lemmy rather than have it Cos playing as a US state but #SoItGoes

  10. @happydisciple Nah the Saturday papers will be filled with the 3 stooges in front of congress doing 👽 🛸 circus distraction. The #ClimateScam #ClimateSceptics vote more times & read more red top papers than those who understand #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChaos bell-curves. AMOC collapse may happen 2025 but still on flat bit of bell-curve, probably by mid-century, 95% likely by end of century #NoWorries most of the "lobbied" politicians will have spent their💰 pensions by collapse probably...🤷‍♂️#SoItGoes

  11. Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut

    I think the only reason for this book's popularity was the Vietnam war. The book is poorly structured and wastes a lot of time to say "it's all pointless."

    The thing is: use nihilism for good, Kurt.
