Yeah, Section 31 was... not great, but they went all out with the spotlights on "this is where we had to fuck it up to make a season-long arc into a 90 minute movie". It deserves a sequel.

Is Social Jus-’Tism a word yet? I feel like it should be for when you're watching evil win and your absolutist, socially non-conforming brain starts doing math.

Been reading a bit of war theory lately and an interesting repeated motif is that regular people, sometimes following scholars of the past, tend to believe things like religion and ideology are a kind of false veneer over the ambitions of a ruthless power-centralizing elite. Evidence is mediocre.

OA is how information gets out from behind the pay wall and into the hands of the marginalized. Innovative ideas are only of academic interest to those who benefit from the status quo.

Being a Groundhog, most years I prognosticate on my birthday "6 weeks of winter, as soon as it starts." Because The South, and climate change. This year has been the other extreme - lots of winter - but now it's 75 degrees outside. Meanwhile, Herself knitted me this super warm wool and mohair hat.

Been working on wood for other people for a while. Finally finished up a bowl-for-me that had been very, very naughty for four months (glued back together 3 times, made a funnel, and it's... not a showpiece). And yet... it's not awful. Hickory and butcher block oil. Lathe go brrrt

Teaching the kid Civil War History. "So the confederates built this ship, and the Unio... The Americans built the Monitor." Because fuck it, it was the Confederacy vs America and that's how I'm gonna teach it.

50% of my Facebook engagement the past day has been telling people "Get fucked Nazi" and asking "Shouldn't you be feeding sunflowers in Donbas, Козёл?" I'm lawful good, but I'm not lawful nice or lawful dumb.

Man I just saw the best motivation to get back in shape: Kiting jackboots. There was that Zombies, Run! app for c25k a decade ago. Maybe something like that. "Congratulations, 5 Nazis are chasing your cishet white ass instead of their intended victims. Now texting an update to your attorney."
