This year's #GävleGoat will be a legend among the local birds. One to tell the chicks about. How one winter day he came, a great goat, bedecked in red. How he was made of food and nesting materials, when the trees were bare and food was scarce. How he sustained them, giving of his own body that they might live. Was he a gift of the gods? Was he a god himself? Perhaps one day we will know...

Yes, sorry but I will take "nuclear also emits greenhouse gas" and store it next to "seatbelts are dangerous" and "people are developing lung diseases because of respirator masks", where it belongs.

This article mentions Netflix and an “industry standard“ of ads w/ streaming.

The major difference— Netflix created an entry-level tier w/ ads to gain more customers.

In contrast, #Amazon is using its critical #Prime members to make more profit💰by setting a new standard of ads by default and then telling its customers they can get out of it if they fork over more money.

What does that remind you of?

Throughout the year, homeless and poor individuals are often overlooked. Contrary to popular belief, Christmas is the exception, not the rule. Society tends to care for the disadvantaged only in December, conditioned to do so. The remaining 11 months see widespread neglect, with politicians blaming them for property devaluation, law enforcement harassing and assaulting them, and the state implementing deterrents like spikes under bridges and anti homeless benches instead of providing assistance.

At age 75 I am now used to finding out how unoriginal I am:

"Make America Grate Again" merchandise is already for sale. Probably has been for years.

So I withdraw my apology. Never apologize for other people's bad puns and jokes.

Meanwhile, my grandson is in the living room saying over and over: "Don't be a chicken right now!" I will go investigate.

Also unrelated: OllieTheDog is growling to get my attention. Normal evening at home. 😂

Possibly the most useful article to appear in Low Tech Magazine.

It's been said before: Don't pay it forward in the coffee line. The person behind you has enough money for coffee. They were in line for coffee. You want to know who doesn't have enough money for a coffee, possibly? Your barista. Tip your baristas well, instead of paying for the guy behind you's coffee who is now locked into an order because that's what you paid for. Think about who would benefit more, and who would appreciate it more.

Your occasional but persistent reminder that there is no AI, there is only obscure scripting with unexplored failure outcomes. Oh, and there is now plagiarism-as-a-service to muddy things up further.

Give it up! You are only wasting time, effort, money, energy, and contributing to warming of the planet.
