Today things are a bit different. Today I have an assistant who's helping me write this post. This is Lou: Ok, he's more an assistant in spirit than an actual help. He's probably drafting his own post in his head right now. He's a friends' dog, but my friend is away on a business trip for a few days, so I'm taking...
Check out As in guillotine... for more. "Bullying promptfondlers and botlickers is a socially acceptable, and required, practice now." Five Things for August 21, 2025 Five Things: August 21, 2025, by Guy LeCharles Gonzalez, was originally posted on As in guillotine....
I thought I learned this lesson years ago, but apparently not. I have a small homelab. It is just Proxmox on an old HP workstation that has way more memory and CPU power than I really need. I love it, though, and it has been fun to tinker with. I have known for ages that I needed a better backup solution for the...
I moved back to Buenos Aires in January 1998: merely 2 days before I boarded the last Swissair flight I would ever take, my girlfriend at the time (and, needless to say, one of the major reasons I had decided to move back to Buenos Aires for) called to tell me that she had unilaterally decided to break up with me.
But what makes me absolutely furious is that the greediest, most do-nothing cohort of the money-movers have spent decades creating the myth that now they are the builders. They think they are the creative ones, the inventors, the ones who see the future. They’ve
Day 25, Is there a special food from your region or heritage that you a particular appreciation for? I grew up in a small town in San Diego, so I would say, the one food I miss more then most is a basic breakfast burrito from this place called Nico’s in Ocean Beach. The area has lots of great places to eat and yeah,...

Thanks to a random YouTube street photographer vlogger whom I happened upon just as they started vlogging, I picked up analogue photography again. He was on a trip to Japan and went to one of those tiny second-hand camera shops where he purchased a Yashica T5. He then proceeded to take most of his Tokyo photos with...
Disfruté una barbaridad esta serie cuando la vi en su momento, y la he vuelto a disfrutar muchísimo cuando la he revisionado. Una serie que tiene mucho de ficción y que se toma muchas licencias, pero que recuerda a una de las guerras de la radio española. Quizá habría que decir, más bien, que se ambienta y se...
August 21, 2025 Dem Bones: "Few measurements reflect the luster of a political party’s brand more clearly than the choice by voters to identify with it — whether they register on a clipboard in a supermarket parking lot, at the Department of Motor Vehicles or in the comfort of their own home. And fewer and fewer...
Its an Ashram in Meerut, India, which was built in 1920 to support Swadesh and Non-Violence moment. It also acted as a small Khadi factory to hand build India’s own national flag. Now after 90+ years its just a ruin but still standing here and imagining it full of Indian freedom fighters including Ghandhiji and...
I hate working out, but that's not particularly revelatory, is it? Everybody hates it. But lately I've been trying to make a real effort to do it and, most importantly, stick with it. As someone who really struggles with starting things and not finishing them, I've attempted to start working out on and off for...
A throwback photo of DC showing all the buildings the same height.
God be thanked, first of all, for these three good things: a productive day; a seminar getting worked out in record time (for the 30th); electricity and indoor running water. In the middle of a conversation, I wrote to a friend ─ translating from Portuguese: A church name means nothing; this is a thing of men. What...

Until recently, Woodard's entry was the most-translated on the entire site, appearing in 335 languages (for reference, the country of Japan only has 334). "This editing pattern
