Yes I believe him, dressed up like a member of The Specials (maybe sax 🎷 player?), and those punk rock skateboarder Vans that he's sporting with the suit.
Even the Sex Pistols were bankrolled merely to showcase their manager Malcolm McLaren's clothing boutique at 430 King's Road in London.
One of my exes was a pre Goth death metal chick with relatively short pink hair and that pasty white corpse like makeup in a different, classy lingerie ensemble everyday of the week ( It helped that she worked at Frederick's on Hollywood Blvd).
If what John Waters is quoted as saying has any weight (and I believe he's spot on) it's that the antisocial movement of the previous decade will be largely found to be insignificant and forgotten because they had no particular and unique fashion sense of their own to remember them by.👋💀

That was a great video. Thanks
@Tube🍂Time! I found myself continually unforgivably, dismissively muttering, "So what? So what? So what?" (Recalling that I still have 3 tube testing machines) until you got to the ESD and especially EMP - one might wonder why much of our defense industries settled entirely on LSI, then VLSI, etc., etc., instead of backup primary systems incorporating this "In between" manufacturing technology that you pointed out, which would certainly have benefited from advances in microminiaturization just the same - mostly, anyway.But then there's that dialog that for some reason just came to me from "White Squall" where the Captain of the Cuban warship smashes the binnacle compass with his rifle butt and Jeff Bridges exclaims in Spanish, "Real sailors need only the stars overhead to navigate".
That was a really kewl project you built. How do you source the parts nowadays for things like nuvistors? There's very few Electronics surplus/liquidator type stores out there anymore.
I'm still trying to suss out whether Chister the Molister in the pic below is a villainous deer in the headlights of having his superspy cover blown, or if he's the inspiration for that other cartoon character of scandalous nature.

The BitchX is Back!
No, not the Elton John song from the seventies - The #IRC client (considered the most popular before #Irssi and #weechat) back in the late 90's on #DALnet and into the 2000's.
But there's a twist, this is an entirely revamped beast, kinda like finding an old Model A Ford that's so rusted out even the axles are seized up and the doors are paper thin with shattered windows, and plenty of bullet holes in the body...
... and then restoring it back to factory showroom floor condition. Except for the engine - a rusted hunk of metal that was replaced with a brand new Chevy 454 Big Block V8; something really contemporary that you might not expect. I'll leave you to discover what that is by visiting the link where the maintainer explains everything :)
And remember, you too can once again be Too Lame to run BitchX!

Or the user could just belly up to the bar and shut all that crap down themselves and leave others to come to their own conclusions for themselves...
Problem solved - don't abdicate your own responsibilities, people.

Well here's a neat little snippet. Make sure to utilize this before scraping your Exif data, lolz. I've posted about that before (feel free to doom scroll and find it) in a quote-post of an article my friend @danie10 on a couple of kewl GUI and CLI #Exif tools - it's really worth a read and personally, I think most folks should really consider keeping a separate store of their photos updated that has all, or at least most of the Exif data stripped out (in case you want to post any of it to social networking instances that don't automatically do that for you).
On the other hand, there's good reasons for also maintaining a store with that data intact, it even better, customized, for your own cataloging purposes...
And that's where @RL_Dane 's article below comes in handy - short, sweet, and gets it's done lickety split 🤘😎🤘

Don't trust those "little buddy heaters" and their cousins of having CO2 sensors and low #Oxygen cutoffs that their marketing indicates you can bank your life on.
You can fucking die.
I used a few of these for several years, when I lived completely off-grid, in the mountain wilderness far from the nearest humans.
They're really convenient and quick to heat a small area, or anything close to them, in just a few minutes, and you can pick them up at any Target, Walmart, Big 5, Tractor Supply, Etc., for $40 - $50.
Basically, you warm your environment, sitting on your cot and warming up your feet and toes before turning it off and burrowing into your subarctic bedding. You can leave the pilot going all night so all you need to do is twist and click it on on the morning, but seriously, why bother?
Sharp (and more importantly, observant) girl in the video - although there's no way to be sure, she just may have saved the lives of everyone in that fricken' tent.

@johnbudd1350 The only barrier here is that people want to buy where they want to live.
There are numerous opportunities for everyone even in shit times.
Do you want to creatively purchase a home there? Whether inner-city or rural -are you okay with moving there where you can afford to live and build a life and have a reasonable expectation of paying most of it off before you croak in a situation where your kids have no inheritance left?
Maybe there is no one. That's still okay, coz you gotta do you.
Be flexible or be renter - one leaves you with something to pass on (or to financially leverage against, when/if you no longer give a shit), while the other leaves you Doodly Squat.
But here's the thing, you never know what opportunities tomorrow will ultimately bring you - if you own even a shithole, you can leverage that investment later, and good times (later, economically) means you can realize the cash you put into your house of squalor until you can afford to leverage that into moving into the neighborhoods of those assholes that previously had condescended you, lolz 🤘🤡🤘
But that's a trap too - unless you're working to enjoy your infirm years and leave that shit (property and/or money) to your offspring, then if you like, you can certainly (and be very very sure this is all you give a shit about) fuckitall! Fuck everything and everyone and you just do that which suits you at that time and you'll make it still!
A bit rougher, with nothing to (supposedly) show, but a great God damned book should you choose to publish your life (and your kids might be even get fucking rich because of that).
It's the end... Well? It's the fricken' end. That's all. That's it. There's no other way to characterize it - your life. A thing, to be sure. If you're interested in how the question is asked about it by some random biographer, researcher, interviewer, or a family member, you have the chance during your life to shape the narrative to: "So.... Your life, tell me....?" -what will those answers be? Even if you can begin to glean that?
Remember, you're in control of the script - what should be written of you in the years to come after your passing?

And you should return the favor by never posting unsanitized Twitter links to the #Fediverse either 🙂
I recommend you do a search for "IndyWeb POSSE" program. Which explains the philosophy behind only posting Fediverse links into the deprecated legacy silos, and never posting unsanitized links from places there like twitter into the Fediverse.
Basically, you do a disservice posting links in the Fediverse that lead people to the very monolithic, privacy disrespecting silos that they've already left behind.
Instead, if you even bother to use those deprecated legacy silo systems, post links bringing the people there at places like twitter to content that exists here in the Fediverse, thereby providing incentives to create accounts on Fediverse platforms like #Friendica, #FunkWhale, #MicroPub, #Mitra, #PeerTube, #Pixelfed, #Pleroma, #Soapbox, #Quanta, Etc., Thereby joining the Fediverse 👍
If you find that you really must post a link leading to one of the deprecated silos, then please consider #sanitizing such links. i.e., in the case of Twitter, you can use the very popular #Nitter by just replacing the "twitter .com" with "nitter .net" in the URL.
If you're on #Android, #Fedilab does this "automagically" for you if you have safe posting enabled.
If you're on desktop, there's a whole list of similar sanitation tools you can use for #Reddit, for example, by changing the domain in the URL to #Teddit .net and similar tools for #InstaSPAM, #Quora, and many others too. For #YouTube, you can use #Invidious.
A long list of these privacy protecting utilities is provided at:
And you can install Fedilab from F-Droid too:
You can also install the #UntrackMe app at F-Droid for generating safe links when not posting to the Fediverse - desks details are at three Fedilab website above.
I hope that helps!
