Mine is a video. In my memory it’s a well-produced, fast-paced, choreographed fight scene featuring the Power Rangers battling a band of generic goons for possession of some MacGuffin: a crystal or orb or whatever. The twist is, the whole thing is set to the song Run by Ghostface Killah. Every few years I look for it, and always come up empty-handed.

I am not military, but somehow manage to interact with a lot of veterans. This has been my impression as well, at least among the officers. The higher up the leadership chain, the more they recognize and despise that the military is being used to push politics rather than actually being a functional organization.

There’s a great YouTube video of Adm. Gilday defending a non-binary officer in a Senate hearing. The admiral recognizes that running a large, functioning military requires integrating people of all types, and that building camaraderie can be as important as anything else. We can only hope there are enough people like him toward the top to prevent the military from being thoroughly abused.

Know when the museums have free or discounted events for the locals.

Know that the library probably has free passes to the museums, too!

And if you’re in a city with a decent sized college, there are lots of cheap or free interesting things to do related to it: public lectures, music performances, theater, sports…

I missed that, my bad.

This also occurred in the middle of the Great Vowel Shift, a period when spoken English pronunciation was changing significantly.

sh.itjust.works has had hilariouschaos.com on our instance block list for quite a while. If you see content federating from there, send me a link and I will check it out.

As for maga.place, as @captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works said, that’s a good topic for a discussion post in !agora@sh.itjust.works.

maga.place clearly looks like someone’s personal troll instance. However, I notice their local feed is currently dominated by someone making anarchist posts in !Antifa@maga.place. A piece of me is curious to watch how this is going to play out.

I remember an mp3 going around where a guy turned it into a song, complete with the chorus, “I don’t like the DMCA.”

V-TECH toys. Noisy, annoying garbage that people love to gift to infants and toddlers.

After that it’s a toss up between a phone, tablet, or Chromebook.
