That’s what she said!!

She being my wife. This is a family show, after all.

I’m planning to build one.

Blocking is a centralized social media paradigm. And the reason it is ineffective is that someone can make another account and start following your posts again.

Decentralization is the core of what the internet used to be. The original 'social media' was Usenet. And there if you didn't want to read what someone said you would add them to a usenet filter in your reader that would block seeing their replies.

My perspective is that this is more effective because if you just keep muting them they go away because the little crotch spawn aren't getting the attention they want.

But there is no solid causal that points to "environmental protections" having any impact to weather (what you get) or climate (what you want). In fact if you read the book Unsettled that's actually a HUGE part of the debate.

When it comes to climate change, the media, politicians, and other prominent voices have declared that “the science is settled.” In reality, the climate is changing, but the why and how aren’t as clear as you’ve probably been led to believe.

Koonin takes readers behind the headlines, dispels popular myths, and unveils little-known truths:

Despite rising greenhouse gas emissions, global temperatures decreased from 1940 to 1970

Models currently used to predict the future do not accurately describe the climate of the past, and modelers themselves strongly doubt their regional predictions

There is no compelling evidence that hurricanes are becoming more frequent—or that predictions of rapid sea level rise have any validity

Unsettled is a reality check buoyed by hope, offering the truth about climate science—what we know, what we don’t, and what it all means for our future.

My dad killed himself in front of me when I was about 3/4 years old. I held on to his leg and asked him not to leave me. I don’t remember what I had for dinner last week, but I’ll never forget this. His fear of living outweighed his fear of death, I suppose. David Foster Wallace said ‘the fear of falling remains a constant. The variable here is the other terror, the fire’s flames’. My dad loved me, I know that, but he did it anyway. Being a kid was so stressful. I rather like getting older. I didn’t feel the sadness of it until I started dating. I didn’t understand what was happening to me. Love is fucking painful sometimes.

I smile when I think back cos when kids would ask me about my dad in the playground I would just tell them what happened like it was nothing. No sensor. Kids are honest creatures. One time my teacher told me off in front of the whole class cos I was late to school and when she asked me why, I told her the truth. My mum was drunk again. She got all awkward and changed the subject and I remember being so confused why she did that, cos I thought she would laugh. I felt like I did something wrong. ‘Was I meant to lie? But I don’t like to lie’ I’d think. The great thing about a diary is that you never have to lie to them. They are incredibly understanding.

All this to say I think that’s why I’m so drawn to writers like David foster Wallace and Charles Bukowski. I love honesty. I like deep, authentic people. So curious. I want to understand. And I think maybe I do. It’s why I’m so curious about people’s parents, their childhoods and I love people watching. Why I can’t bear to see a child hurt. Why I sometimes can’t stand the sight of alcohol. It’s definitely shaped my views and tastes in art and literature. My moral compass. My dreams. My style of love.

We’ve all got such interesting (sometimes a little dark) unique yet similar stories.

From people watching I learnt that social interaction is the secret ingredient to longevity ❤️‍🔥 love people - not things - even if it hurts to love them.

I know this is going to sound odd but I wouldn’t change anything about my past for many reasons but one is because It made me who I am and I like who I am - not perfect at all but deeply emotional with a need to understand. That’s not too bad, I think. I’m like slightly overcooked pasta. Still edible to someone who doesn’t mind the texture. That’s the secret to making real friends, too. If your friend doesn’t want to bite you, then they probably aren’t right for you.

That’s just my feeling as a completely inexperienced 29 year old who has barely traveled and is still figuring life out.

Just thinking out loud. Again.

Alright, I’m going to get back to reading 🫂

I’m feeling awfully inspired lately ❤️‍🔥

Sorry for starting the note off so direct. I just find it so ridiculous that people use the word ‘unalive’ on YouTube. We created words to express ourselves and communicate. We should have power over the words we want to use, words shouldn’t have power over us - if that makes sense.

No child should have to live through that. Sorry, angel face. ❤️

Oh no. I had that happen when my kids were like 4 and 5 years old. God bless the owner of the company I called. None of their employees could come in due to snow on the roads- he came out with his foreman and installed a new furnace himself. The foreman was busting his chops constantly; “You sure you are the owner of this company?? What you just did is SOOOOO not up to code” Him; “Just because I own the place doesn’t mean I know WTF I’m doing - that’s what I pay YOU for…”. I was busting a gut laughing…

I don’t buy it. nostr:note1pv8e498w0cpk6e0095jzmwcg83wmlhce96vzvm9m7rcamcaxqefsgehqgx
