If chrome is a 0/10 browser, then modern Firefox is a 1/10 browser something that's actually usable and customizable like Qutebrowser (but is chromium-based) is 5/10, and Firefox before they removed literally every single customization and configuration option I cared about (not exaggerated) other than allowing adblocking was like 6/10

I rarely play abstracts, but I was attracted by the 3 player game as you get the score of your right-hand neighbour *plus* your own score.

Trying to help myself while helping my right-hand neighbour, while blocking my left-hand neighbour was a serious brain twister.

A natural abstracts-player might take to it more easily.

Bruno Faidutti enjoyed this Alex Randolph game so much that he redeveloped it in 2023, in a less abstract style, as Tonari.

Another revolting war crime by Russia. I've lost count of the number of targeted attacks on civilians by the aggressor state. Putler and his entourage should all be tried before the ICC for such evil deeds.

FWIW I closed my substack account, where I was paying for a few subscriptions. I’m also muting the word substack so I don’t have to keep reading about it here.

Day after Christmas.

8 year old: I'm bored.

Me: you just got all these gifts! Play with them.

5 year old: I'm bored too.

Me: play with each other.

8 YO: No.

5 YO: *cries*

8 YO: I want to just play with you, dad.

5 YO: No *I* want to just play with you, dad.

Me: Well let's give each of you a solo activity while I spend time with each of you individually.

8 YO: No.

5 YO: No.

Me: Then let's all play something together.

5 YO: No.

8 YO: No.

Parenting is hard some days.

Yep, still 90% is about the platform itself (today it's long press).

Mastodon is at least down to like 20% of my feed about Mastodon and Twitter now.

Dear @msnbc
So your website headline beseeches Republicans to impeach Joe Biden.

As sure as I am that you're attempting to inject shock and panic into your reader's decisions as to what to click on and read...

My feelings about it are this:

I'm not clicking on your bullshit headline, and in fact, I closed your bullshit website and will leave it that way today.

Black Lives Matter (BLM) is a grassroots human rights activist movement and Twitter hashtag that began in July 2013 after the acquittal of George Zimmerman for the fatal shooting of African American teenager Trayvon Martin.

The movement gained momentum in 2014 following the killings of Michael Brown, John Crawford III, and Eric Garner. BLM leaders have met with prominent leaders such as the "Kenyan Marxist" and have staged many protests in the aftermath of those killings, notably the mass protests in Ferguson, Missouri and Baltimore, Maryland.

BLM has encountered harsh opposition from conservative groups in the United States and other run-of-the-mill racists. This usually takes the form of loaded questions such as "Why not 'All Lives Matter'?", a move that reveals a profound ignorance of the central message of BLM: when it comes to the police, black lives don't always matter while white lives generally do.
