I do all kinds of work I don’t get paid for. I only seek pay because of the stupid system that says I have to if I want to feed my cats.

So it seems. We do have a ton of color photos from the era from This guy (Sergey Prokudin-Gorskii).

He took three b&w photos through filters at the same time, then would project them through filters to get the color.

Yeah. As I’ve seen someone else put it, “we’re glad you’re here” is far better than “what took you so long”

Interesting. I’m in small town VA, and moved house today, and am pretty keenly feeling frustration that I couldn’t show up today. Searching for local actions, I landed on the base nokings.org page at some point, where there was a bright red banner saying that MN events that weren’t already started were canceled at Tim Walz’ recommendation, because the assassin was still at large. I can’t say what time I saw that, I looked for news several times today

I hate that I do this, but when I do finally respond to an email or letter and it’s been too long, I sign off with “Yours eventually”

I’ve been running opensuse for years now. It’s great. Welcome aboard

It Could Happen Here is often talking about what’s going on that week in the world. I wouldn’t try to listen to their whole backlog, but I usually catch an episode or two a week.

Behind the Bastards is great. Since I found it (Summer 2020, I’d reckon), I’ve listened to most of what has come out since.

Cool People who did Cool Stuff is a sort of spin off of btb. Deep dives on people and movements who were resisting the bastards. It’s only been going on a couple of years, so the backlog is more manageable if that’s your thing.

I listen to Past Times on the Dollop feed most weeks. The Dollop is another deep dive history podcast. On Past Times, they read headlines and articles from different newspaper every week. Usually from the late 19th through early 20th century, but they’ve gone as far back as the 1600s.

Anything by Jamie Loftus is great. She’s mostly done short run things on a single topic. She’s on the Bechdel cast, too which I listen to occasionally.

You might enjoy The Deprogram, which has a less daunting backlog.

I’ve heard that the issue for some cats isn’t that they can see the bottom, but that their whiskers hit the side of the bowl and that’s uncomfortable.
