“Tim Booth ultimately believes that each of us is here to deal with our trauma, and to process it. ‘We’re very good at self-deception bullshit, and we all have our blind spots, but the trick is not to walk away from, but rather to walk towards our weaknesses. And the trick is to keep walking into them, because often there’s amazing riches there.’” – Nick Duerden, Exit Stage Left: The Curious Afterlife of Pop Stars

@evan As a person with a heavily ritualized life I don't actually have a lot of birthday rituals. I have a shirt I wear (which I made in the 90s), and I usually spend a bit of time in social media gratitude/sharing and then do whatever feels like the right thing. This year it was getting together with my sister and partner and another good friend and getting Indian food delivered (I don't have food delivery in Vermont so this felt SO DECADENT) and my sister made a cake. Nice mellow day.
@evan I politely ask people for no gifts but my partner actually made me a card, in his usual style, which was just full of trivia facts about the number 57, a little bit about Heinz but mostly about these two mathematicians who... mistakenly thought 57 was a prime number for a little bit?
My sister (who cannot be dissuaded from gifts entirely) got me a Japanese miniature bookmobile the size of a Hot Wheels car. No pickles! May you be as lucky.
Happy Birthday ♍️! I’m 8 days and 3 years behind you. Unfortunately, when you turn 54, you don’t get invited to Studio 54 circa 1977, so I bought this polyester leisure suit for nothing.

Verlängerung der Karenzzeit: Das #EuG hat entschieden, dass der personenbezogene Datenaustausch zwischen der #EU und den #USA vorerst weiter möglich ist, indem die jüngste Klage gegen das Data Privacy Framework (#DPF) abgewiesen wurde.
Auch wenn das im Ergebnis bedeutet, dass sich an der Rechtsgrundlage für den transatlantischen Datenverkehr erst einmal nichts ändert, leidet das gegenwärtig geltende Privacy Framework dennoch an vielen juristischen Schwachstellen:
I finally bothered to read FEP-044f: Consent-respecting quote posts.
The way it defines Quote Authorization and their (re)verification makes the already chatty ActivityPub *incredibly* more chatty.
An anonymous reader shares a report: Google's CEO Sundar Pichai stood smiling in a leafy-green California garden in September 2020 and declared that the tech behemoth was entering the "most ambitious decade yet" in its climate action.
Nell'immagine, una donna in un abito nero si trova in una stanza con mobili e arredi domestici. La donna ha le braccia aperte e sembra esprimere un'espressione di sorpresa o eccitazione. Sullo sfondo, si possono vedere un tavolo, una sedia e un divano, con una luce che illumina la stanza. In basso, c'è un testo in grassetto che dice "PRAM!" in lettere maiuscole. Questo testo suggerisce un'emozione o un'azione legata a un pram, un veicolo per bambini.

I know this isn't the worst thing about the filthy rich, but it's one I think about a lot.
If I somehow ended up with enough money to very comfortably support myself, and the people I care about, I wouldn't keep going. I wouldn't need more money. You hit the goal there, to not have to work on anything unless it's something you deeply care about. I can travel now, I can not stress about whether I'll make it this month. Wanting more is so fucking boring.
And as a side note, if I had extra, you could just give people money, and change their lives. Why wouldn't you?
in a way, this IS the worst thing about the rich, or at least it’s a very clear indicator of the worst thing, which is that they have taken money to be an end in itself rather than happiness or anything else that money can facilitate. Money was supposed to be a proxy for well-being, not well-being itself. The ultra-rich, having forgotten or denied this, chase after more money like people who have eaten too much salty food keep eating more when they have no water.
because you're antisocial at heart. You have to be, in order to want to become and stay ultra rich.
Steve Wozniak said it best: "I gave all my Apple wealth away because wealth and power are not what I live for. I have a lot of fun and happiness. I funded a lot of important museums and arts groups in San Jose, the city of my birth, and they named a street after me for being good. I now speak publicly and have risen to the top. I have no idea how much I have but after speaking for 20 years it might be $10M plus a couple of homes. I never look for any type of tax dodge. I earn money from my labor and pay something like 55% combined tax on it. I am the happiest person ever. Life to me was never about accomplishment, but about Happiness, which is Smiles minus Frowns."
@lizzard Well, actually, happiness is the square root of smiles squared plus frowns squared, multiplied by the cosine of arctangent of frowns divided by smiles, but everything else Woz said there was pretty good.
