Dunno, decades of enshittification might happen overnight, like a singularity. A shitgularity, as it were.

But Comcast/Xfinity is truly, truly horrible. Their tech support sucks and there are some account-related things you need to talk to them for. I feel stressed just thinking about it.

Yeah she was very pro-reddit during the API protests too.

Agreed. Besides industrial waste, old factories often have motion-detector silent alarms. If not, they may have squatters who may or may not be cool with intruders. If not, if you have some kind of medical emergency it might be months before you are found.

Comment-OP, minimal food's not really necessary - one of the things about Gautama Buddha is that he gave up mortifying the flesh. And you definitely shouldn't dehydrate yourself bc that can cause organ damage.

People go in. Meat and used clothes come out. No windows for better soundproofing.

ikr "beyond the scope of the current effort" also works.

The quote doesn't say anything about forever tho. The kid is just figuring out that death happens to people and wolves, but not to words and books. The parent is the one pretending that the kid's making some profound statement about the permanence of ideas.

The real question is: are they going to charge you for a Cobb salad, or for a Great Wall of China?

Back in the 80s and 90s there was this cartoonist called Ace Backwords who would give out his cartoons so you could reprint them for free. He did a lot of them about counter-culture topics, so if you had a newsletter or zine and you needed content, a lot of times you'd put in an Ace Backwords cartoon. (this was just before the internet era, so you had a lot more newsletters and zines.)

Ace Backwords quit cartooning in the early 2000s. Now he "sleeps rough on the streets" in Berkeley (San Francisco area) and blogs about his feral cats, homelessness, and memories of living a counter-culture life.

I got this cartoon from his blog and cleaned up the contrast a bit, see the original here: https://acebackwords5.wordpress.com/2024/06/19/609/

As the youtube description explains, the first minute and a half of the video is from a different performance earlier that year.

The Robot vs. the Aztec Mummy is the subject of today's "monsterdon" viewing over on Mastodon, our fediverse sibling!

  • Just start watching Sunday, Dec 8, 2024 at 9pm ET / 8PM CT, which is 2am Monday UTC
  • then follow #monsterdon over on mastodon for live commentary

How to watch:

The evil Dr. Krupp (Luis Aceves Castañeda), a mad scientist also known as "the Bat", managed to escape the snake pit into which he was thrown by Popoca the Aztec Mummy (Ángel di Stefani) in the previous film and continues his efforts to steal a valuable Aztec treasure from Popoca's tomb. Krupp builds a robot with a human head and brain in it (which is thus, technically, a cyborg), planning to use it to destroy the mummy should he return to thwart his plans. Krupp's former colleague and original finder of the mummy, Dr. Eduardo Almada (Ramón Gay), his wife Flora, and his associate Pinacate, all work to stop the mad scientist from completing his plans.

You know this movie. You've seen it a million times before a million different ways. But this one is campy in its very own way, which makes it special.

A fictionalized account of a true story, it centers on the controversial 60 Minutes segment about Jeffrey Wigand, a whistleblower in the tobacco industry,[3] covering his and CBS producer Lowell Bergman's struggles as they defend his testimony against efforts to discredit and suppress it by CBS and Wigand's former employer.

Though not a box office success, The Insider received acclaim from critics, who praised Crowe's portrayal of Wigand and Mann's direction. It was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor in a Leading Role (for Russell Crowe).

There are a couple of cuss words blanked out the in the first couple minutes, but whoever was doing that got bored and quit doing it after a while. Also, the youtube comments say some of the violence was edited down.

The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie is a 1969 British drama film directed by Ronald Neame from a screenplay written by Jay Presson Allen, adapted from her own stage play, which was in turn based on the 1961 novel of the same name by Muriel Spark. The film stars Maggie Smith in the title role as an unrestrained teacher at a girls' school in Edinburgh.

I think this might have region-blocking, but I'm not sure of the regions.
