Two UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters just flew by outside my window. This is normal, right?

Can't wait to move to the new place. Won't miss these low flying helicopters that for some reason feel they need to fly between the buildings multiple times per day.

The best resources to learn Blender from are still the Blender manual, but that's a bit dry as most manuals are and videos are often better, and so for the rest the Blender Studio folks. Plus, you're supporting free culture works in the process! https://studio.blender.org/ has some resources free, and you can pay to get access to the rest, but they're all under CC BY, which is pretty great.

The second best are tons of shy and excited people on YouTube who want to show you a few tips.

Some of my favorites:

- Harry Blends
- Sophie Jantak
- Deduze
- Pepe School Land, especially the Grease Pencil Random Tips and Tricks series (name is unrelated to the popularity of a certain frog)

Getting started with Grease Pencil first is often a good idea, because 2d is a gentler introduction for many people, but it also eases you into many of the 3d concepts.

Blender Studio is a web service that provides access the training videos and all the data from the Blender open projects.

It's funny how every time an open source project bans AI code contributions the AI folks starts whining like spoiled brats about how toxic open source has become.

Damn Yankees came on in my random playlist and, eh, it's pretty good 80's hard rock. Yes, Ted Nugent is giving Gene Simmons a run for his money as the biggest asshole in rock but I have nothing against Jack Blades and Tommy Shaw.

Hot take: this is the best song Yngwie ever wrote. Everything else is boring neoclassical metal that makes me sleepy.

I wish! But unfortunately, no it's not.

Bitcoin was designed by fashy hyper-capitalist libertarian bros to extract money from vulnerable communities like sex workers, Black people, and refugees fleeing unstable governments, and the financial predators' plan worked.

None of Bitcoin's promises are real. It doesn't hide transactions. It exposes them. It's not less traceable. It's more traceable. It's not separate from the financial system. It's even more tied to it than cash. It's not harder to block than cash or diamond transactions. It's easier. It's not more liquid, it's less. It's not faster, it's slower.

The people that made the most money from Bitcoin, are the exact same hyper capitalist crypto fascist Venture capitalists that made it so that the current financial system doesn't work for sex workers, Black people, or refugees fleeing crisis.

There is no substitute for having a government that actually works for people. There is no viable separate but equal economy at scale. You can't fight nazis by making them all billionaires first, and then using their monkey money and fake banks to try to pay your rent.

I'll stop here, but I could go on.
