RIP Gary Wright.

From "Dream Weaver" to "Love is Alive" — 1972-76—Gary's music gave a lonely gay kid hope and kept him company through the daily, mean hell of a 70s Southern tinytown High School.

SEVENTY THOUSAND PEOPLE trapped at burning person.

In the desert, but also in the mud somehow.

This is why I don't do crowds.

Freud: Humans have a death wish.

Humans: We'll show you, we're going to vote in fascists, the most anti-death group in human history!

I've been outta the loop on #Twitter drama recently.

Did--- #Elon just blame the Jews for losing advertisement rev?

Tell me that he did not.

'... the aggregate losses of 68 discoms [electricity transmission operators] increased 66 per cent to Rs 50,281 crore in 2020-21, rendering them incapable of running everyday operations without a capital dump by the states.

'Servicing their debt has become a “far-fetched idea”.

'The power sector accounts for more than 60 per cent of the total outstanding guarantees by the state governments. The 15th Finance Commission was concerned about the financial sustainability of the power sector on account of highly subsidised prices... as well as the sector’s inefficient regulations, and its unattractiveness to the private sector...'

A foreign intelligence service/terror cell need only look up which transmission operator is skint re maintenance/physical security budgets and cross-check with the customer base of that infrastructure to figure out what to target to cause chaos.

Be it through waddling up to an unprotected substation/transmission tower with a few IEDs or an AK-47.

Or recruiting an underpaid, overworked worker (eg working on securing the OT) as a malicious insider to help them plant logic bombs to be run when the threat actors please.

We have been blessed with wonderful #doggos. Saying goodby to to our nearly 15 year old Westie is hard. He’s been a joy to have in our lives. He has quite the sense of humor.

Interesting, someone I know on the delivery list for China Daily, owned by the PRC. The recipient is not Chinese... wonder how they got on the list. Known for distributing Chinese #propaganda.

Remember when the appearance of impropriety was a problem?


It's bad luck to bring women aboard because that only throws a wench into the machinery.

The first combat loss in history of a Challenger 2 Tank.

Footage supposedly shot near #robotyne #ukraine.

Slowed down, stabilized and reprocessed clip.

When the administration of my university and my faculty refused to take a stand against #antisemitism on campus, #ADL provided a systematic, safe way to raise the problem with the dean and the president of the university. There was no other way this could have been done. Whether on the bird site or elsewhere, it is imperative to have organizations to object and to educate about antisemitism and other forms of racism and bigotry. 2/2

While it might seem like a good idea at the time to stuff your puffy shirt and balooney pantaloons with extra loot so that you can carry more stuff off, it really isn't.

Seriously.
Don't do that.


Cabin boy's at mischief again--decided to sing "16 men on a dead man's chest of drawers. Yo ho ho and a bottle of Sarsaparilla".


The mizzenmast looks weird and those aren't canvas sails on it. One of the crew went AWOL on a bender and what those are is actually 3 sheets to the wind.
