I like using porridge oats in savory recipes. Today it was a curried/spiced mince and mixed vegetables mixed in with porridge oats. The kind of thing where you might put rice if you are aiming for a biriyani kind of thing but not. maybe a spicy risotto even?


Feds: Just change your State's whole way of doing things and make your ID's "Real ID". That way we can be sure they aren't fake.
Also Feds: This "Real ID" looks fake, we're deporting you!

A lot of baseball going on down by the river. Not by me though.

No Pee Wee Herman fans out there who don't realize that the LAPD is scum, huh. Well, just ask Rodney King about that. #RIP Paul Reubens

I am a real boy.

This is a fact which the entire HBO documentary "Pee Wee As Himself" underscores. Yes I'm watching it and that's why I didn't show up for Hashtag Games until now. Part 2 is now in progress. It isn't Paul Reubens who has a star in Hollywood, so THERE.

At this point in time forward, an immortal character.
I had no idea who this was until he appeared on CBS on Saturdays, which I was already tuning in to for the purpose of catching "Hey Vern, It's Ernest!"

I was an Ernest fan club member when he was just doing commercials, so of course I had to see that. After that was Garfield, and then Pee Wee's Playhouse, so, every Saturday thereafter I was regularly watching all 3.
The thing is, I'll bet a bunch of Hashtag Games regulars also watched it but don't wanna admit it.

After watching that documentary I can say I'm a Paul Reubens fan with certainty..."He was the kind of guy who would rescue a spider"; def my kind of guy only I just didn't know that til now.
Much respect, Paul.

@plan-A I've been like this for months. Years really, but the 3am pattern is new and weird.


The answer to my book record keeping is likely to be calibre-web. I just need a server.

@plan-A I've got out working on the LAN. So that's something. Ready easy to set up. Shockingly so!! It's WAN access in struggling with because the cheap router we've been set up with has nobway of opening ports. Plus services like Tailscale run as vpn on Android and that means I have to switch off my usual vpn to use it. It's just a little too much friction than I need.

It's fun to much about with though.



Today was a #succes. Cycled. Sorted books. Read some stuff.

How about a fictional book by a fictional author, now that there are "Murder She Wrote" re-runs on cable?

Today I think I will win by riding my #bike. A quiet route with no motor vehicles. It's cooler today and I have no pressing plans. I hope this stops my #brain from eating itself with #anxiety and #fear!

Whatever is left of our constitutional rights and liberties exists mostly in the gaps between what the government knows about us. This is the beginning of the end. Soon, when conservatives are in charge, they'll make us follow their stupid, puritanical rules whether we like it or not, and when liberals are in charge, well, they'll make us follow their stupid, puritanical rules whether we like it or not.

Data brokerage should be seen as organized crime, and there should be a constitutional amendment specifically guaranteeing the right to privacy.

I'm not advocating psychopathy, but hear me out. Aren't psychopaths happier than everyone else? They feel no empathy, so they don't feel guilty or remorseful for anything they've ever done. They feel superior to those around them. What they want, at this moment, is basically all they will ever care about.

Seems like a fairly placid internal life, to me...

@Blaise

I have had similar thoughts. The underlying issue is that it is not a choice. It is how the brain is wired. I could no more choose to be a psychopath than a psychopath could choose not to be one. I have found my peace in a compromise that I no longer value that which is impermanent and I live now, not in my past or future. Of course this is the 100 mile view of my ideologies and it gets a bit more complicated the closer to ground zero that I get. πŸ˜€ πŸ˜‰
