A Phlaming Phoenix

The Relish

The aesthetics are incredible. It’s one of the best looking movies ever. But the plot’s got some holes. It’s fun and pretty but not great.

As a staunch antitheist, I really can’t disagree. The unitarians are pretty great. I personally know a minister and he’s very big on community outreach, supporting other local support programs like our independent food rescue, and preaching a very positive and inclusive message with minimal woo. And he has never once asked me to attend church.

Honestly, just about anything in the web application hosting vein. httpd, nginx, redis/memcached, varnish, etc. You could make an argument that MS-SQL outperforms Postgres sometimes, but in my book, the cost of entry isn’t worth it and I’ve only ever used Postgres since I left an explicitly Microsoft shop many years ago.

It means if your abuser comes back to you and swears they’ve changed and they can totally be a part of your life again… You can tell them to fuck off forever because you can’t forgive what they did to you. It means not feeling bad about that.

At least part of this is the decentralized/complied nature of a FOSS operating system. You don’t get a command called grep because someone making design decisions about a complete system holistically decides that tool should be called grep. You get it because some random programmer in the world needed a way to find patterns in text so they wrote one and that guy called it grep and someone else saw utility in packaging that tool with an OS. It’s a patchwork, and things like this are a culture of sorts.

I’m so glad you linked the Wolf Parade song and not She Drives Me Crazy.

My partner and I go to the basement and see who can do the best job of it. We have an underground wrap battle.

Next week for us.

I think the general reception of this news shows that any successful prosecution would be seen as such an injustice, and likely to spark further acts of rebellion. I almost think it’s in the ruling class’s favor to let this one go.

I think any cop who disagrees with this should get transvestigated.

I would take SO MANY for the team

Yeah, I didn’t know people were just giving out basic necessities. I’ve been allowing people to exploit my labor for nothing this whole time?

And that being gay was bad. It was not conveyed well in our media, and our culture was full of negative connotations with non-heterosexuality. I feel you on this one. Bi people exist, and we’re everywhere!

You like em tongue-in-cheek? You might try Chopping Mall (1986). Shopping mall management invests in a killer robot security system. A group of horny teens decides to spend the night there, but a lightning storm takes out the main killer robot controller! It’s funny, a little gory, has topless men and women, and it’s hilarious. A spook night favorite of mine.

We clench among you…

This is a literary device called a “bookend narrative.” If you want more stories like that, there’s your search term.

Wheel! Of! Fish!

There’s one I see around town often enough. I was parked at a red light next to it the other day and it was remarkable how shitty the panels look up close. They’re not really flat and planar. They’re sort of wobbly like corrugated tin.

Hah, I love this track, but kind of ironically. It’s fun when it comes up on shuffle.
