This is a really good point, but I feel like an English teacher would have written "whom I married."

The Thin Blue Line narrative—and I mean this with my whole cardiovascular system—is one of the most effective and insidious propaganda apparatuses in the history of American mass media. And it works because the characters are GOOD. They're charming! They're funny! They have FEELINGS and RELATIONSHIPS and they are genuinely trying to do the right thing, and that is EXACTLY how hegemony sustains itself. It doesn't show you the institution. It shows you Tim Bradford, and you love Tim Bradford, and now you have quietly absorbed an entire framework for how crime and punishment and community and safety are supposed to function in a civilized society WITHOUT EVER BEING ASKED TO CONSENT TO THAT LESSON.

And I'm—look. I'm not saying don't watch it. I watch it. I'm ON it right now. I'm saying watch it awake. Watch it with the part of your brain that remembers that the writers' room is making choices, that the network has relationships, that the genre itself has a politics that predates everyone in this room.

Just in case you want advice, I've found that using a custom launcher app solves that problem for me. I spend an hour setting up the interface exactly how I like it, then never change it again. When I get a new phone, I load the launcher settings from the last phone into the new one, and everything looks and feels exactly like I had it before.

Vice News covered this more than a decade ago in "This Is What Winning Looks Like." They literally filmed a conversation where a US soldier tried to explain to an Afghan police chief why raping children was bad. His response was "who else are we going to fuck?"

"One day you will be called on to break a big law in the name of justice and rationality. Everything will depend on it. You have to be ready. How are you going to prepare for that day when it really matters?

You have to stay ‘in shape’ so that when the big day comes you will be ready. What you need is ‘anarchist calisthenics.’ Every day or so break some trivial law that makes no sense, even if it’s only jaywalking. Use your own head to judge whether a law is just or reasonable. That way, you’ll keep trim; and when the big day comes, you’ll be ready."

Paid. I also found it hard to believe, which is why I checked the logs, tried working with their support staff, and wrote my own program to confirm.

It's a privacy-focused backup service.

This is me, but I was also the one who fucked it.

I like Nova launcher, personally.

Inspired by this post, I just created a phishing test for my staff with a malicious URL in a "report this as spam" link, complete with a required training for those who click the link.

I see both the beauty and impressiveness in the skill development to talk and interrupt well in conversations. The effort put into adapting oneself is commendable, and the joy of contributing to conversations is evident. However, that's where the narrative seems to conclude.

Initially, a friend points out a truth: the narrator "'shouldn’t talk more. Everyone else should talk less.' Possibly true." But this change doesn't occur. The narrator helps their partner feel less lonely, yet the partner doesn't learn to know them in their quiet moments. The narrator masters the art of lively conversation, but doesn't impart their wisdom. It's not an ideal resolution.

I really like when people pause mid-sentence, searching for the next word. Efforts to minimize this trait are like Beethoven shortening his fifth symphony by removing rests - an essential part of its charm.

Swahili has 10 different "genders," called "noun classes" or "ngeli," and none of them correlate with sex. Instead, the third-person singular pronouns are:

• he/she and him/her: yeye
• his/her: wake

It should be -TCI
