I am a compulsive writer - mostly stuff of inconsequential nature. Follow at own risk.

Seriously. While I probably don't *technically* suffer from logorrhea, I post a LOT (when I was on Twitter, I ran between 650 and 1200 posts/month). So, "you've been warned!" :)

If you've gotten this far:
• I work in IT …which results in a lot of ranting
• I'm a lifelong music-lover …so, a fair number of posts about shows I go to
• I have no kids, just dogs …so, lotsa pix of them

Nah, you don't owe an explanation, but it is telling that your response to a question is "I'm too fucking lazy to type up my ideas or even provide a reference to one I like". It's the usual useless-puffery of "somebody should do _something_" with scant indication of what that "something" should be or that you've even really though it out.

Looks like evil.social is offline, again (since mid-morning).

I write when I run into issues that caused me to have to dig deep into the weeds. I write mostly for myself, but hope that if anyone else runs into similar issues, they find a page-one search-result (my page) that helps them rather than scraping three pages deep into Google's search results.

We can't get stodgy business "leaders" to let people continue to work remote (which, notionally, saves at least the commuting-related pollution), let alone do a 4-day work-week.

Gotta get those ratings. The only thing that sells advertising better than sex is outrage.

Maybe, one day, they'll find sexy pundits and do bikini-clad mud-wrestling?

@jeffsonstein We peaked at 314. There's a measuring station about half a mile from my house, so, probably a fairly accurate read.

As of 0600, her zipcode's meter was pretty much pegged and our zipcode had changed from mid-red to high-purple. Ours has since progressed to (looks like they update at the top of every other hour?):

@w7voa

When I checked a half hour ago, AirNow.Gov was showing that more-intensely in south-central PA and DC area. Living in Alexandria, the "by zipcode" meter was showing us as purple, but nearly maroon.

Porn is generally behind CWs, so, not really a problem. When it's not behind CWs, it gets reported and the poster blocked.

@WarnerCrocker Honestly, the only reason I have Prime Video is that it comes with prime ...and I don't watch any content on it that isn't part of the service's "free" content.

Given their "included in the price" catalog, I would never pay for Prime Video, even an ad supported tier.
