** Music for the Apocalypse **

So, this morning, I had to hear *Dear Prudence* while making coffee, and youtube disappointed me for the last fucking time.

Currently downloading ~5GBs of Beatles music.

I already have some ~30GBs of music, gradually pirated over the decades, but now I'm on a mission.

I want an offline music library that includes at least 80% of all the music I would ever want to listen to, while I sit on the roof, watching the world burn.

So, legal or not, any tips on what/where/how to expand my collection by an order of magnitude?

{ *sigh* }

It seems like every day,
I have to add another name
To the list of people (technologies)
That can kiss my ass.

It just happened again.

I went to a website to buy something, but I couldn't open the home page w/o giving js permission to Google.

**If your website doesn't work w/o Google ... your website is broken**.

Side-note: in this case, I think it was Google captcha.

Why would a website use a Google service to make me prove I'm not a Google bot?

If you deport an American, where do you send them? That's right, back to America.

Throwing an American out of America is not deporting. The word for that is banishing.

The ultimate #Amazon sales tip.

This one weird trick really works.

20+% off on almost everything, all day, every day.

Window-shop on Amazon.

Once your cart is full, start looking at the suppliers/producers of those products.

Find their websites and order your stuff directly from them.

Repeat until your Amazon cart is empty.

Bonus: F**k Jeff Bezos. Support your local businesses.

Look, I know the World is falling apart and there are ~859 higher priority fires that need to be put out.

That said, this whole #AcademyAwards thing is really bugging me.

Nutshell: After 95 years, they just decided to add a rule that the judges are required to watch all the movies nominated in a category before they are allowed to vote.

Read that again, if you need to.

Judges have been routinely watching the 1-3 movies that get all the buzz, ignoring all the others, and voting.

Hi @lulu

I finally looked close at your t-shirt.

I'm now on a mission to get a t-shirt that says "I'm cis, don't panic"

I'm starting a new international restaurant chain, called

The Little Post-Capitalism Cafe

where it's literally just my flat with an open-door policy and a sign out front, that says Pay what you think is fair.

Oh, and a second sign, I reserve the right to kick out anyone that irritates me.

It is an int'l chain, because y'all are welcome to do the same thing at your place.
