I posted entire chapters of my book when I was writing it for feedback. I even got some now and again.
Completely randomly, the timcast rss feed is mostly just links to his videos, but occasionally has really good written journalism. It was a reminder of how badly written most media is these days.

Resolute Forestry Products, known previously as Abitibi Price before they changed their name and were known for being dodgy af, has been sold to a privately held company headquartered in B.C. called The Paper Excellence Group.
It appears that as recently as November 2021, The Paper Excellence Group was headquartered in California, so they must've decided that California wasn't quite expensive enough so they should move their operations to the only place on earth more expensive.
The Paper Excellence group previously purchased Canada's Domtar company, and resolute will continue as a wholly owned subsidiary of Domtar. They also own Catalyst, another Canadian company.

Nothing new -- the governments and corporations around the world pretending they can stop using energy without causing global suffering.
They're getting what they want but acting shocked that the natural consequences of their policies occurred.

The thing I find annoying is that they wanted this and now it's happening and they're pretending they are shocked.
Why is there a carbon tax? To make energy more expensive. They wanted this. Why are they pointing fingers now that they got what they wanted?

I mean... Not really... There was no constitutional basis for the judgement in Roe. If there was a basis, then the government would have a lot less power over people. If such a thing as "a right to medical privacy existed" that could prevent a certain procedure from being banned, then the FDA wouldn't be allowed to exist. Arguably, medical licensure shouldn't be allowed. Drug laws probably wouldn't be allowed.
What they tried to do was create an alleged constitutional right that began and ended at exactly one issue. In the past 2 years, that came to a head, because everyone saw the emperor had no clothes: There was a constitutional "right to medical privacy" but you better carry your papers because the government can mandate that you have to prove which medical procedures you've had done.
Now... Imagine if the case actually did establish a universal constitutional right, and one that protected against stuff like vaxx mandates. Well, in that case it isn't so easy to overturn. They couldn't have that. They want to micromanage your life.

The two are close enough that it's easy to forget for me. It isn't like the past where the two were so fundamentally different that there's no way to forget your cde wasn't windows 95!
I've got openshell or something like it on my windows installs and I decrapify it and use o&o shutup10 to get rid of a bunch of junk, then on my linux machines I run kubuntu, so they're pretty similar in normal use.
If you're not gaming, it's really easy to forget which OS you're even using if you've got your various OSes set up reasonably well.
Gigablast crashes a lot. I'd take it off the list, but it's one of the only non big tech search engines out there, so I keep it there and deal with the error messages. The other engines it looks at still provide results.
I believe the current situation is complicated and multipolar. I consider people with gender dysphoria to be "real trans", and a lot of people simply aren't that.
I wouldn't care since people should be able to live however they please and I'm certainly not perfect enough to say that they're wrong, except that "the community", a bunch of psycho authoritarians who want to use the power of the state to force me to care under the barrel of a gun.
I've been lamenting the LGBT folks who as always just want to be left alone. They are caught in the crossfire, and there's no way they'll come out the other side of this insanity as good as things were 10 years ago.

That's reasonable, given that I don't know much about Page other than a few movie roles, so I don't know what their political opinions are.
If you assume that a trans person just has gender dysphoria, then such a person could have all kinds of opinions.
The only thing I get a kick out of is the idea that Page would get to understand that it isn't all sunshine and rainbows and people running up to you to give you opportunities when you're passing as a man.

Reminds me of that line from fight club. "We cook your meals. We haul your trash. We connect your calls. We drive your ambulances. We guard you while you sleep. Do not fuck with us."
But we do so much more than that. You can't eat money.

I have a chapter in The Graysonian Ethic where I talk about my family, and I talk about my grandfather, who was a decorated war hero in WWII, the Italian theatre. He grew increasingly upset watching the free country he fought for become less free, and he died long before the woke era.
I can't help but think that we need to remember their sacrifice, and what they made that sacrifice for. They didn't do it because they hated Germany, they did it because they loved the countries they were a part of. The Germans were the enemy in combat, but they were considered other people just doing their job.
The other thing I remember is why the National Socialists were able to take over Germany; Everyone told the German people that they were monsters for decisions nobody outside the ruling class made, everyone told them to pay reparations for things they didn't personally do, and everyone in Germany suffered under those reparations. Tell everyone they're the devil long enough, and if some asshole with a tiny moustache says "No, we're good people and we're gonna fight back" then things got bad because they might've been good people, but he wasn't.
The way that the winners built up Japan and Germany after World War 2 was the epoch of wisdom, wisdom we've sadly lost to time.
Lest we forget, but we as a society have forgotten.

You have to admit, the response was downright impressive!
Imagine, running over a little old lady with a horse, and when people start to get mad the response is "don't worry, the horse is okay!" -- that's the sort of thing that you couldn't put into a serious movie because it's just unrealistic.
