The "leaders" of the world have failed us, in so many ways, over and over again

If your actions have contributed to humans killing other humans, you should be horrified. You should not be making active choices to let it go further. And if you are the kind of person who does that, you should not be in charge of anything

I always vaguely assumed the color "ultramarine blue" was called that because it's like, a darker type of blue than the color of the sea. But apparently, per WP, "the word means 'beyond the sea', as the pigment was imported by Italian traders during the 14th and 15th centuries from mines in Afghanistan."

So I know there have been a lot of discussions about whether the Age of Rock n' Roll has ended, who was or is the Last Great Rock Band, etc.

And I haven't had time to read all of those arguments or listen to all the contenders (yet). But I feel like one factor of this is, when did we as a society stop having new well-known rock bands where the front person has an Awesome McCoolname?

Off the top of my head, the obvious candidates for "last rock Awesome McCoolname" were Eddie Vedder and Trent Reznor. From a skim of WP, it looks like Pearl Jam was founded slightly later (1990) than Nine Inch Nails, but NIN might have broken into the mainstream slightly later (~1994?), so one could debate if one of them deserves the title of being the last

And then I feel like Julian Casablancas (the Strokes, founded 1998, mainstream success 2001) is a pretty cool name, but I'm not sure if it reaches the same heights

Anyone I'm forgetting?

I need a change. Actually, I need multiple changes

kind of weird how parts of your soul are left in various locations without any warning… like yes i’m always at the top of that hill, sitting at the bus stop, in the cool light of the Japanese restaurant, standing at the pier etc etc

Hey, anyone know things about Google Photos and OneDrive? I'm cancelling my Google One subscription and instead subscribing to extra storage on OneDrive, so now I need to transfer my entire ~18 GB of photos and videos from Google Photos to OneDrive, and I'm not sure of the best way to do that

Happy and/or angry Earth Day!

Anyone else with an iPhone and a Windows computer: I've noticed that the auto enhance feature in the iPhone Photos app seems a lot better than the one in the Windows Photos app. But the former is only available on Apple devices, because that's how Apple rolls, and I generally prefer to do most of my photo editing on my laptop.

So, is there a good free photos app that's available on Windows and has a good auto enhance feature?

It only occurred to me recently that I should migrate my (considerably long) books to read list - which has been an MS Word doc for years - to an Excel sheet. That would make sorting and filtering it so much easier; by genre, date written, whether I've never read it or it's a book I want to re-read, etc. So much possibility. The problem is that doing this is gonna be a whole fun project, and I'm supposed to be applying for jobs

Oh and of course, the omnipresent word "talent" (e.g. "join our talent community") makes me think of the audience in the Krusty Krab telling Squidward "NO TALENT! NO TALENT!"

I think I've mentioned before that sometimes my brain will just associate a certain word with a memorable quote or scene that contains it from some piece of media. Idk if there's a term for that

I'm job searching, which means I often end up clicking a link on a company website that says "Careers", which makes me think of both this David Shrigley cartoon, and the moment in the original Supa Hot Fire video (around 3:50) where Supa Hot says "I'm about to end this man's whole career" and his opponent asks "what career? What career?!"

Also some jobs will have "finance" in the title (albeit usually not ones I'm looking at, because I don't have a degree or job experience in accounting or finance), which ever since last summer, naturally, makes me think of "Man in Finance" by Girl on Couch

I am anti elon and support posters being up which are anti elon, however could we please not make him doing the nazi salute on all of them please. It makes me, a jew, uncomfortable having to walk past multiple posters of elon doing the nazi salute every day to get to and from work.

And this just in my mind, proves that these people have not consulted a single jew on how to make anti nazi posters.

But hey, I guess being anti nazi is more important than the comfort of jews... ya know the main victims of nazis.

Frodo and Aragorn should have hugged
