GDPR violation.

Why is he Andy Bernard from the Office?

F you, Uber.

They tried to bypass taxi laws in our main city and the municipality just kicked them out. Never thought I would say it, but here am I:

Good job, government. Well done.

Try to put them in the mood?

True and accurate.

I just want to add that we need to rein in capitalist greed, reduce car reliance, mitigate climate change, stand with our LGBTQ friends, and allow for fair distribution of wealth, so that the 1% don't hoard all resources built in the economy.

What is not clear?

...to the surprise if nobody

Thank you!

That's a problem. I used to get news almost immediately from Reddit. Now I am a bit stuck on that front and so far there is no reasonable alternative.

For example, I like to follow chess news. I stumbled upon a piece of news on the wider internet that Hans Nieman and Magnus Carlsen had resolved their dispute. It wasn't very much reported on, so I checked old.reddit/r/chess to see what's going on. The first detailed thread on the matter had been opened and active, like, 5 minutes after the announcement.

At this point, nothing on the internet can compete with this.

It is kind of the same with world news and Ukraine war coverage.

So, yeah. After getting off of Reddit, I have lost the ability to be quickly informed about news. Mastodon is not much help and I don't want to fuel Elon Twitter's BS, so I am stuck.

Cool. Cool cool cool.

Nothing. She has no time to read Excel spreadsheets.

The romantic nature of Batman and Robin's relationship is heavily implied throughout the movie, although we never see them perform acts of affection such as "smoochin", "gropin", "tongue kissin", "hand holdin", "sword fightin", or "butt stuff". It was, nonetheless, the fist ever movie to show a superhero in a committed same-sex relationship.

Until the last sentence I thought this was about the erratic behavior of Seal, a singer known for his song "Kiss from a Rose" from the motion picture movie Batman and Robin.

I love how they combine it all with light banter. Without the banter, most of the episode would be unlistenable, as you would be too depressed and tie yourself on a train track.

For history:

Revolutions by Mike Duncan. You can start with the Haitian and the Mexican revolutions. Then just listen to whichever season you want.

Dan Carlin's Hardcore History.

The History of Rome by Mike Duncan.

These are absolutely amazing.

Honorable mentions for Behind the Bastards and Lions Lead by Donkeys, if you like some banter along with the story telling.

Edit: someone in here reminded me about Your Undivided Attention. It is, literally and without irony, the most important podcast you could ever listen.

Good riddance

This cannot be said enough times: Russia is a terrorist state. Nothing excuses Russia's war of agression. Failure to help Ukraine amounts to complicity in genocide.

Tired of western imperialism? Try Russian imperialism now!

IQ scores, in the way they are currently used, are absolutely useless and cannot tell you who is smart and who is not. They tell you who is good at taking tests.

I highly recommend the podcast series "My Year in Mensa" - it is a nice little story showing that high IQ probably does not account for much.

To your question - the answer is humility. Be humble and understanding. Everyone has something to offer.

What could he have done?

He seems like a straight guy in every sense of the word. I vehemently disagree with his politics but I am sure that he will testify truthfully.
