Revamping my #introduction a little…

I'm primarily a writer, as well as an incorrigible reader. I've mostly stopped freelancing, so much of what I write on a day-to-day basis shows up at http://lrhodes.net, if you're curious. I also discuss more academic subjects (like history and philosophy) as well as current events over @lrhodes@scholar.social.

The critical contradiction at the heart of the "Deep State" conspiracy theory is that they have nothing to point to but the bureaucracy, which they desperately need because the bureaucratic state is the source of nearly all of the domestic power available to the presidency.

Sad to report that I am once again rethinking the way that I blog.

A choice of economies: Acquire diverse types of stocks, spreading out the risk by hiding each nut in a different location, or build a castle of pine cones and scream obscenities at anyone who passes by? https://harvardpress.typepad.com/hup_publicity/2019/11/how-to-plant-a-forest.html

Is anyone on here running Solid? https://solid.inrupt.com/

If so, what do you use it for? What's your experience been like? Has it been worth the effort?

The old word for smart city was dystopia.

VEGAN THREE BEAN SUCCOTASH

1. Saute one diced YELLOW ONION in 1tbl of OLIVE OIL until golden.

2. Add one ~14oz can of CRUSHED TOMATOES, breaking apart with a wooden spoon as they cook.

3. A tsp of CUMIN or OREGANO would not go amiss here.

4. Once the color begins to deepened, add 1cp BLACK BEANS, 1cp RED or PINTO BEANS, 1/2cp LIMA or chopped GREEN BEANS. Lower temp.

5. Simmer until most of the liquid is cooked off.

6. Stir in 1/2cp frozen CORN. Salt and pepper to taste.

Serve over rice.

Starting to think I may have dreamed this.

Can anyone help me remember the name/url of that blog with the evolved 90s design, e.g. paragraphs with different justifications, dithered backgrounds, 16-bit folder icons, etc?

me: listen, we've been over this before. you've seen the calculations. you know how much coffee is too much coffee.

Is there some good reason that escapes me for Typora wanting permission to receive keystrokes from *any* application?
