the important thing to focus on in the deaths of graham and mcconnell is that trump is a child rapist who features exrensively throughout the epstein files #uspol

genesis energy passagg “energy saving” emails can GET IN THE BIN.

“How to save on energy costs this winter”
suggestions include
“Freeze to death in your hovel, peasant!”

it’s cheaper to house people

it’s cheaper than motels
it’s cheaper than prisons
it’s cheaper than hospitals

and vastly so. housing people actually gives a return on investment. it saves money elsewhere. it generates money elsewhere.

this has been demonstrated ad nauseam all around the world including right here in new zealand

so whatever choice is being made about neglecting homeless people, it is NOT financial

and when tory cnuts claim it is, that is either a barefaced lie OR they cannot do such simple arithmetic as telling if one number is larger than another

if they are liars, they should not be in positions of power making these decisions

if they are unable to do the math, they should not be in positions of power making these decisions

last night i dreamt i crashed a reunion of 3 of my childhood besties (one dead, one not, one unknown)

it was all love

but a gutpunch when i remembered a few minutes after waking that craig was still dead

okay my giant neck lump is into its 3rd eruption and size increase in 2(?) months so. going to the doctor. 🙄 its probably been brewing for 3 months.

appointment time: (unless i sacrifice a half day at urgent care before then) 2 weeks

what annoys* me (among other things) is

we had functioning** autocorrect running locally on our devices for years, decades

we had voice-to-text (and vice-versa), gesture controls, head and eye tracking, running locally on our machines for decades, going back to the pretty basic-ass mid-machines of the late 90s

this standalone tech (hardware and software) was improving geometrically, the cost to deliver (locally) decreasing at least linearly, since i was a child

and now we have [waves generally around] this shit 💩 actual world-ending energy water and climate crisis accelerating REGRESSION of the human and technological capability, and it costs more. it does less (qualitatively if not quantitatively) and it costs more, it costs possibly “everything”

* annoy is probably a drastic understatement for seething enragement

** okay it was sometimes, frequently hilariously wrong. but it was a solved ducking problem

if purchasing isn’t owning then pirating isn’t stealing 🤷‍♂️

and if scraping isn’t stealing then burning down your data centre isn’t arson

hodl goose, there’s guaranteed to be a short squeeze on because goose was not valued :Pumpkingoose: 🪿
