Never Forget should be all encompassing, viewing all of the negative and positive events borne from unspeakable tragedy.
Never Forget has to become more than just a slogan to remember the one day that changed the course of an entire planet.
Never Forget has to return to being about understanding the ongoing cost to humanity - to this day, 21 years later.
Take care of yourselves. Call (yes, actually call) your friends
Never Forget.
End.
civilians and military members, who have lost loved ones. Those who have watched their first responder loved one wither away due to inhalation of toxic fumes - a cruel gift given to those who would risk their lives to help others.
It should include those who have watched their lives spiral out of control for no reason, those wrecked by guilt and shame. Those wrecked by regret and those who would die indirectly due to the events of 9/11. Either by their own hand, or by others.

Never Forget should be an acknowledgement of the butterfly effect this singular event had on hundreds of millions of people on this planet.
Never Forget should include the millions of Iraqis, Afghanis, and countless other souls in countries ravaged by the he war on terror.
Never Forget should include the tens of thousands of soldiers, US and allied, who have been killed or seriously injured over the span of multiple decades.
Never Forget should include the shared trauma from both (cont.)
Over the years my sentiment on 9/11 has changed many times. Anger, resolve, regret, and confusion were just some of the multitude of feelings.
Similarly, the rallying call of "Never Forget" has morphed from a unifying cry for a shocked and angry nation into a statement that is overused and almost thoughtlessly stated.
I want to change that outlook this year. Never Forget should be more than just the ~3,000 souls who tragically died in a heinous terrorist attack

Why is everyone talking about LSU vs Southern on Twitter. Having too schools run up the score against lesser schools is a common thing in college football.
37-0 is fairly tame.
What? That's the score at the end of what?

#FUNFACT - COSO doesn't pretend to be pro 'free speech' until it becomes detrimental to COSO.
COSO heads the assholes off at the pass. Like, immediately.
In doing so, instead of the word spreading that COSO will let you be an asshole with no accountability, the opposite occurs: If you are an asshole COSO will not provide service.
And so it becomes a self full-filling prophecy, assholes don't even bother trying.
This is Cloudflares problem. They wait too long to take the inevitable action.
It keeps getting bigger and bigger each year. Souvlaki Fest 2022 is a go, veggies are all purchased and ready for washing, prep, and storage. Cucumbers will be dried out, herbs (not shown) put in, etc.
I'll include progress pics tomorrow as I do this in the rain. 😅
But for now, time to cut some veggies. Cheers!
If you've seen my posts on #cosomusic over the years, you know I love me some Oakie. Absolutely adore his music and sets. Yet, I swear this byline from The Times has me livid.
Could have easily said, "helped create, was a major influencer" so on and so forth. Instead they had to say he "invented" dance music.
Are you for real????
It's killing me because is straight up ignoring titans like Frankie Knuckles or even Carl Cox.
PC mods are sometimes amazing. A FF7 remake mod where the main character uses their old blocky spritres.
Minor spoilers for FF7 remake.
Cloudflare blocking kiwi farms is good.
The one thing that still is a problem is that the biggest troublemakers and threats there were/are masters at gaming search engine optimization (SEO).
This has to be addressed as well if the goal is to do anything more than play whack a mole.
I love Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and Eunie is the absolute best. I love her and I love that the game makes her such a well rounded character and gives her the absolute best lines.
If you enjoy console RPGs and you don't give XBC3 a chance, you're cheating yourself out of an enjoyable experience.
Knowing what we know now about social media manipulation, and faux conflict to drive engagement I really wanna know:
What nefarious purpose did the blue dress vs gold dress viral post have?
It's a shame that the most effective propaganda in the year 2022 is to convince a bunch of well off people that they are the perpetual victims.
Nevermind that half the reasons don't make any sense if you take five minutes to think about it. Being a "victim" apparently makes them feel good.
JFC.
For my fellow Xenoblade Chronicles fans out there, this has got me laughing my tail off this morning.
Minor non contextual spoilers for end of chapter 2 and on.
Man what the hell did I stumble upon digging through YouTube.
