    I managed to accidentally start running again. I found a way to mentally skip the "starting to run again" phase that I hate. It involved luck and round numbers.

    Bonus: Wife and I are running together and soon I will finally be faster than her!
    Double Bonus: We are not currently signed up for any race. We are running to run. There is no carrot!

    I'm tempted even with finding out that that evil SOB Sam Altman is behind the scenes. This one has legs in the short term. Tech has been taking a beating with layoffs and this IPO will be good news for the tech sector.

    but if we can tank we hurt Altman's rep with investors and that would be a good thing.

    Lou Barow, bassist for Dinosaur Jr, is great for this thread. Sebadoh and Folk Implosion.

    Kim Deal from the Pixies has a few good ones well! The Breeders and the Amps.

    Tim Armstrong of Rancid is also a side project junkie, but Transplants is by far the best of them.

    Yeah, that's neither polyamory nor ethical non-monogamy. That is religious, patriarchal oppression.

    Yup, she always described he style as ultra-Femme. I always appreciated her attempts to bridge the cultural divide. The whole thing about paying someone when you break up with them because you wasted their time was crazy. It was such a practical thing but still crazy.

    Don't give imgur money. Their take down of nsfw content is aligned with and part of reddit's attack on nsfw content and by extension LGBTQ+ and Sex Workers.

    Don't feel bad, we all make mistakes. I wasn't so lazy, I would have joined you in that one.

    For people that need a more visual schedule, this one is pretty good. I really hope Fox doesn't drop the ball and shows full match replays for people that can't adjust their schedules.

    I had a failed attempt at doing a 365 photo project at the start of this year, and in prepping for I explored the Fediverse. I looked at several different instances of several different platforms. It's mostly a complicate ghost town. I did sign up for a PixelFed instance, their store brand version of Instagram, and there was no activity because even the largest instance had users in the four digit range.

    The Fediverse (you are a right, a terrible name) is all hype with nothing backing it up. Kudos to Tilde for making an easy to use platform.

    Yup, League 2 is when things start to get interesting. Can these two maintain focus and display the fiscal discipline needed to work their way up the food chain. I assume this deal is a scalable one where United pays them based upon which league they are in come august of '25. It would make sense for a company like united to "take a flyer" on a team like Wrexham. You get in cheap, get a better deal at higher levels and show some loyalty to the locals.
