Celery

Went to one in Spain, and had the time of my life. I wasn’t really aware of the local custom to bring food and bags of wine, but the locals around me were super excited to share. Kinda like an LSU tailgate in that way. There were random dudes playing tubas and waving flags and cheering either for the bull or the matador. It was wild. A quiet old man near me, knew each matador and how they fought. It’s grotesque and pathetic really. Regardless, it’s a spectacle to behold the outdated and brutish “sport”. I was more entertained by the atmosphere and the people than the actual bullfighting, which is ridiculous, but also fascinating.
My best advice is to read “The Sun Also Rises”. Hemingway has a way of conveying the primal beauty of the sport that may help you approach it with appreciation.

I was about to say no Pac-Man, no care, but the son of a bitch really did it!

Guy i knew who did sound design for Tv and film told me if a scene is ever set in Austin he always adds grackle sounds for authenticity.

Yes, it only took me 42 years and a near death experience to realize that I’m just not as important as I used to think I was. 99% of the time putting others before yourself goes unnoticed and unappreciated, but it’s amazing how much peace it brings to life.

Imagine it like a camera; if the film is all messed up, it doesn’t matter what kind of lens you use. The photo will always be blurry.

Longer lifespan, but more electric scooters at Walmart.

3. Criminalization of algorithmic amplification: Amplifying "harmful" content through algorithms becomes a crime. Danger: Governments will dictate what you see, burying opposing opinions and creating state-controlled echo chambers. Free exploration of ideas? Missing—replaced by curated propaganda.

Aren’t the algorithms the very things that bury opposition opinions to individual users? Also, I’m failing to see how algorithmic amplifying on social media = government control over content.

Nola’s Italian? I always assumed it was a Louisianaian surname.

Morton Iodized. 1/4-1/2 tsp. Very affordable.

I’ve only visited many times, but lots to do, easy to get around, surprisingly walkable, good food and bars, great art and architecture, friendly people, Wrigly, nice blues and music scene, and it’s sparkling clean in the non-ghetto parts. It just has a chill vibe. It does seem like it would be a nice place to live, at least in the Summer. Winters are probably depressing.
