Daylight savings time and other contrivances.
- I changed my DW theme again. This one is kind of reminiscent of my OG Livejournal theme, but with a background I made myself. I need to do some more work on my website.
- The NIN show was great! There was some fuckery because Dallas is gonna Dallas (why do people keep trying to start fights in the pit during Hurt? Apparently this is a common occurance?) But Boys Noize rocked as an opening act, and Trent and Atticus still got it. I have a lot of pictures from the show. All of them were taken from the nosebleed section: and therefore, none of them are awesome. Someone uploaded an entire recording of the concert to youtube.
- Continuing the theme of partying like it's 1996, I went with some friends on a pub crawl through Deep Ellum Saturday night. This may partially account for how I feel this week.
- I am not usually this affected by the time change, but this week it is just hitting me like a ton of bricks. I overslept my alarm this morning, something I have not done in three years or more. I think I might be fighting something off.
- I got my physical and bloodwork done, and I need to start really watching my cholesterol. My platelet level is also elevated, but not enough for it to be a cause for alarm yet. But they also want to monitor that pretty closely over the next few months. At least I'm not anemic right now?
- Barry's Economics is *the* Youtube channel to be following right now. He nails the intersection between wealth and late-stage capitalism with all of the factors which enabled the Epstein Web to hijack every aspect of our culture and society. Your moment of Zen: this video, about the super-richs' disconnect from the rest of the human experience. (Just as I was writing something eerily similar in my Tron Ares fanfic, lol.)
- "Someone is actually reading the room." Firefox just got an AI kill switch. From Tech Radar. Though I'm still bouncing back and forth between Vivaldi and Waterfox. I may go back to Firefox if I can disable AI.
- How Epstein’s biggest financial client shaped millennial teen culture.
- I am offically done distro-hopping, and have finally settled on this fork of Manjaro. Yes, I had to switch from French to English language during the installation process. Yes, it's Cinnamon instead of KDE. Yes, the default theme was giving "Live, Laugh, Love" vibes. I spent 20 minutes on Pling, and now it's perfect:
[Image: Click to increase thumbnail to full size. My current desktop in Manjaro Elegance 25, running Cinnamon as the Desktop Environment, with the Hackerer Cinnamon theme, and darkmint GTK2/3/4 theme for window borders and buttons. The Matrix-themed wallpaper is one of the current Manjaro defaults. I am using Audacious as my audio player, with the winamp skin.]
