@hkz I'm just jealous of the amount of sustained focus it takes to do something like that.
(The act itself is entirely normal, however; it's just the done thing.)
@QasimRashid I'm unavoidably reminded of a quip from a trailer I just watched: "It's about to get stupider."
Edit: As much as I appreciate all the boosts and faves, I must clarify that I did not take this photo. It's just in my library and I wanted to share. So sorry to disappoint anyone. 🥹
This little birb always makes me smile! A Japanese Snow Fairy. Look at it!
LOOK AT IT!
Good morning y'all! Be kind!
@artemis This seems related (at least vaguely): a friend's mom, despite being liberal, voted for Dubya's second term because she believed he needed to "clean up his mess".
My take-away from this, and from the idea of voting for Trump as a joke or protest: some people, even those supposedly on the side of sanity, apparently have a huge gap in understanding about how reality works.
I'm probably on a list somewhere now for making these, but it's worth it. To paraphrase what Maude said to Harold, historically, I'll be in good company.
@RonSupportsYou @renewedresistance
Top brass clearly needs to be informed that they are following illegal orders.
(As I understand it, that would give them at least the discretion to disobey, knowing there might be consequences for continuing to comply. Those who are on board with the whole white nationalist Armageddon program may continue anyway, but at least they couldn't say they were "just following orders" anymore.)
@pheonix ...and, like, maybe I might decide to subscribe, if I think they're a good news source -- but then there are ten other sources that also charge. Am I going to subscribe to every single one of them just so I can read an article now and then?
I have to wonder why they haven't gotten together to offer group subscriptions for people who aren't daily readers.
@libramoon That one gets played occasionally, too. At the time it originally came out, I just thought it was annoying -- but it has aged well, by some mysterious alchemy I do not entirely understand.
Moritz von Schwind’s Cat Symphony (1868) was made as a gift for a violinist friend and fellow member of the Black Cats society.
More on its history in our latest post: https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/katzensymphonie/

(We've been watching Princession Orchestra, and a lot of music from Symphogear and RWBY gets played on various devices around the house. In case you were wondering.)
Hear me out: "Is It Wrong to Rock & Roll" by Nantucket, but in a magical girls anime:
🎵
Music, sweet music, ev'rybody get down
Beautiful music makes the world go around!
Music, sweet music, ev'rybody get up!
Beautiful music, can it be so corrupt?
...
Love that feeling deep inside my heart --
beautiful music tearing sadness apart!
🎵
(...and then the guitar solo while they finish the transformation sequence.)
@EveHasWords FWIW, I find that it's often necessary to "suspend all background tabs" on Vivaldi before starting up anything else that might try to eat too much [v]RAM.
@rossgrady ...not to mention the NC law which (a) allows a child to come into the ABC store if accompanied by an adult, (b) up until age 18, when they are absolutely forbidden from entering the ABC store until (c) age 21, when it is suddenly ok for them to enter unaccompanied.
Like, something's kinda backwards here, even if we ignore all the absolute binarism.
@catzilla As long as you're neither (a) giving them money, nor (b) setting yourself up to become CoPilotDependent...
