Is Jazz in the room with us?
Is Jazz in the room with us?
I’m definitely coming off as a fatalist and alarmist but I firmly believe there is a path forward that includes all of us. Just the cost will be severe and unexpected, I hope we’re ready. And while my natural inclination is that of least resistance and less pain, I hope it is achievable within our generations. Let us bear the brunt of braving a new world that our children and their children’s children know better lives than we do.
Take it and spread it hopefully further than just the fediverse. Or make your own and pass along the good word

Here’s the post I saw that inspired my own.
If I had a nickel for every time someone unwittingly became the face of something humorous we can all relate to, well I’d at least have a nickel more than what this job presumably paid her.
Good springboards today. Lemmy is starting to feel more alive don’t you think?
In all seriousness thank you for taking the time for a moral obligation. All things should be tempered and while humor is a great tool to distort the truth it should never completely obstruct it.
At the very least, here’s to trying to draw attention to your comment.
Capitalism is mass produced feudalism distilled in just enough high fructose corn syrup to sell the lie to the people that if you work hard enough and pull up your straps all the way, one day you will be the one pulling the strings and not licking boots. The problem isn’t in facing this stark reality, it’s in having enough imagination to see what could lay beyond the comforting pain of what you are used to and the devil you don’t know.
People are not ready for a complete societal overhaul, I am not ready for it either but we’re speeding along to a future where people will know the bitter taste of their neighbor’s flesh in the name of survival. I hope to be spared such knowledge and for other good people to be too but here we are, entire populations around the world are about die of thirst and we’ve let people (because corpos are people as legally defined for the purposes of money in some places and might as well drop the facade in others) bottle and sell it as a commodity and a premium at that.
For those still reading and capable of abstract thought: imagine you were an entity composed of gas and you discovered a species composed of up to 60% water willingly slave away for clean access. Insanity.
Stranger than fiction though, we can all start boiling our tap water to reduce up to 90% of microplastics (phys.org). Seems like the cosmic jokes on us. Good thing I guess that we’re boiling our planet alive, that way the ultra rich doomsday-prepped assholes who have allowed this design to come to fruition will have everything they want after the manufactured cataclysm wipes the rest of us out.
TLDR; I went off on a tinfoiled rant.
If any among you have an interest in documentary style films I highly suggest The Act of Killing.
It is not a pleasant viewing experience, it is however good art and should be experienced anyway.
Rough. Here’s to wishing you a speedy recovery and joy in your life.
I mildly rolled my ankle getting off the toilet Wednesday morning and I’m just now putting my full weight on it (old people problems amirite?). You sound like an immediate hospital visit bro.
Unrelated your s/o could stand to have more patience for you, unless you being a jackass resulted in your injury. Otherwise it might be time to evaluate your relationship. How someone treats you while your sick, injured or incapacitated in any other form, gives great insight into the quality of your bond.
The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.
The pictures are sobering. Knowing that you will likely die ugly but proceeding due course is a look that masks can’t hide.
Humanity’s needs have outgrown the way it is governed.
Los víveres que nunca llegaron a Turquía.
Los víveres que nunca llegaron a Turquía Parte 2
Here’s local investigative journalist who placed AirTags in donations meant to go to Turkey earlier this year. Even if local officials had been prepared for this natural disaster the results would be the same. If you read the comments there’s testimonial about a previous disaster that caused flooding where the people of Acapulco had to take care of themselves in the same fashion.
You are simply wrong. No amount of planning would have helped these people.
If a disaster occurred during tourist season aid would pour in, of course no one cares about the actual residents in the absence of wealthy foreigners
Here’s to your good health mate. Hope you find yourself on the mend and some answers for what ails you. Not knowing can be as bad as the malaise in my experience.
Had an uncle drive himself to near insanity over a change in his body and while eventually the diagnosis came back terminal, the knowledge that he was right and all those who would not support his concerns had to eat their dismissals was a small comfort.
