Eclipses, equinoxes and everyday awe: Telling the time on Spaceship Earth.

Monday, 8 April 2024 — Durango, Mexico 12:12:12 CST 24°01'21.1"N 104°40'17.9"W All morning Plaza IV Centenario in Durango has been filled as if for a festival. Earlier, a shockingly youthful shaman led a salute to the sun and then gave copal cleansings to

one monkey + one keyboard

Today is Equinox. The sun directly over the equator and day and night are of equal length.
This looks quite cool in earth-clock's equirectangular projection.

I hope this dowsing rod finds you well.

I am VERY tempted to write another long post about how the decision in the 1970s not to establish a Norway-style sovereign wealth fund in favour of simply using the oil money to prop up finances at the time, has done more damage to the UK than any other decision in history. LONG THREAD, SORRY.
The next time somebody disparages "labels" and says they are unnecessary I am going to hunt them down and force them to have a discussion about small business finances with a psychotherapist who does not know, will not use, and refuses to learn any proper business, accounting, labor, or tax terminology.
Then imagine driving your car an hour west along the M4. And as you arrive in town, What's that? Goodness me, the sea is full of swans!
if you're using a program to compare vehicles in wales' largest city, you're performing a Cardiff car diff,
I don't think any of my dreams would pass a health and safety inspection.

Yup.

Like I've said: roid rage isn't a real thing. It's not. Anyone that tries to tell you that it is a real thing, is probably trying to justify violence by petulant man-babies.

If you're thinking "But steroids can make you irritable!🤡" I don't care. All women get irritable. All women know how guns and knives work. But they don't shoot and stab and beat people every time they get irritable. Part of being an adult, is learning how to regulate your emotions. Keep your hands to yourself.

Steroids don't make big men angry. Steroids make angry men big. What would've been a 150 lb twerp, is now a 200 lb twerp. Steroids give them the opportunity to try to live out their violence. When I worked as a bouncer in college, I often had to hulk-smash roided out dudes that don't understand that steroids won't help them against me, and that fighting is a skill, and that they didn't have that skill.

I've never taken steroids. I'm an elite level natural powerlifter. Many powerlifters and bodybuilders aren't natural, which means that they do take steroids and other performance enhancing drugs. They don't rage on people.

I don't judge people who take steroids for sports. I certainly don't judge people who do gender affirming care. I am pro-gender affirming care. What I'm against, is violent people that try to blame steroids as their excuse for hurting people that they perceive as smaller than them.

No.

It's not the steroids. It's you.

20 years since I wrote Operation Clone Jesus.

But those were simpler times 🙄😔
