I had one or two around the house as a kid. Was pretty satisfying to use, compared with a computer. My kid hates handwriting so much I bet he would prefer it too.

I haven’t tried them, I tell myself it’s likely to be quite a mild flavour. If I’m in the mood for a tea that doesn’t taste like tea, I’ll take a glass jar full of loose leaf and soak it in huge amounts of cinnamon and orange essential oils. Give that a few days to cure, and it makes a powerful, warming, sugar-free yet sweet, and nose-punchingly fragrant tea. Enough cinnamon oil and it can strip the paint off a wall, and that’s how I like it. Stole the idea from the specialty tea shop in Pike Place Market, Seattle.

Charming blog from a guy who seems to have it all figured out.

Is it usual to type out what typewriter you’re using in every header?

The government wants axis to Grok

It must be super frustrating to deal with a politician who doesn’t keep their agreements and never says what they mean. If he figures out the best way to deal with that I hope he’ll tell us.

As I read, both of us are about one leg under the duvet.

…Should probably get the bearaby out, even this is too warm.

I bit into a whole onion once. I peeled the skin first though, which tells you there must have been some insane part of me that expected to enjoy the experience. “Hang on, get that paper off first or it’ll taste bad”? What was I thinking.

Important browser opinions in a meme community, cheap thrills I guess.

Performative. We all know that conservatives instantly understand the problem once it actually affects them personally.

I’m still not sold that LM is the real perp tbh, it’s too tidy. Also his manifesto looked like it was written in about five minutes.

Thanks for the recommendation, I hadn’t heard of ironfox

Exactly right. If Jessica Rabbit walked up and introduced herself as Mister Mxyzptlk, that’s what the fuck I’m calling them.

See, this is how I knew you were just being a shit. You accuse me of complacency but you have no suggestions. Fucking turd behaviour.

Really. Lance what boil? Do what, exactly? What box are you imagining I haven’t ticked?

Say the same thing, but without using a single metaphor

Can I have like, the one scrap of false hope, just as a treat?

Nobody really cares about the guy who died, despite corporate media insisting on our sympathy for months. They figured out we can’t be fucked about the sorry sonofabitch, so they’re hoping we forget about the whole business while trying to censor talk of LM off of all major social media platforms. Sure does help that so much news and social media are owned by the same fuckers.

The only real solution is to actually care enough about the work to read the email. The trouble is that so many companies these days do meaningless middleman shit that people couldn’t give a fuck about. We’re headed straight for an economy substantially consisting of work that doesn’t matter, largely being done by bots that can’t think properly.

… Which would be fine I guess, as long as the ruling class would be so good as to offer a substantial sinecure to the populace. But instead they will likely insist that we quietly die someplace they don’t have to watch.

I had really good success doing a daily page of A5, few months ago tried to upgrade to doing art least 1 page of A4 per day. I’ve slightly fallen off the habit.
