In the USA, a typical person has $60000 of debt by the end of their life. Your overall net wealth is very likely to be a negative number, after living to get into debt and perpetually paying it back. Over an entire human lifetime, most people in the richest country the world has ever known, will effectively own nothing and earn less than nothing.

And yet, the idea persists that communism is bad because it means that “you can’t own anything.”

You don’t own anything now.

*Adds another notch to the list of Treks that Jonathan Frakes and Marina Sirtis have been in.*

New Neil Cicerega album today — :)
Not coming out until the middle of the night in European timezones — :(

Randomly remembering videos that were popular on the internet 15-20 years ago.

Probably explains a lot. youtube.com/watch?v=KUOwbcdZoz

An identifiable problem with Apple earphones now being able to automatically switch devices: Going from my iPhone at 30% volume to my iPad at 100% volume approximately destroys my eardrums.

So nice to see Russell, Albon and Norris spending time together again. 😊️

Happy birthday to my wonderful partner @kimpegasus !

For her birthday I decided to gift her some art from karpetshark on birdsite! 💖

Listened to Earth, Wind and Fire so much already this evening.

I decided to waste this evening badly tracing memes in the same inappropriate brush and giving them bad captions.

To its credit, watchOS 7 seems way, way faster on my Series 4. I’m switching in and out of different apps in like, a tenth of a second.

As for my two shortcuts:

Naptime turns off the lights, sets a one hour timer, turns on DND, and starts quietly playing a podcast with a 20 minute cut-off.

This Week integrates with my timekeeping app and does some funky math to tell me when I've done enough hours for the day.

All of my widgets are fat stacks by the way.

Top left for system stuff. Top right for distraction stuff. Large middle for productivity stuff.

My iPad has distractions and productivity reversed, given I mostly use it as a consumption device.

I’ve been using the betas for a few months now, so my iOS 14 Home Screen ain’t new, but here it is.

It reminds me of the third gen iPod!

The most baffling design decision in watchOS 7 is the removal of Force Touch. It might have something to do with the Series 6/SE not having the hardware for it but damn, it's an incredibly useful interaction to have available when dealing with such a small UI.

Starting off with the “Here’s all the people who didn’t die because of Apple Watches this year” bit again

Man, I'd suck at being an MP. I'd probably burst out laughing and muttering "oh my god he's delusional" every time Michael Gove said anything.

For those not keeping track, "fifth ex-PM" means "every single ex-PM who's still alive" bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-541

Even among prime ministers Boris Johnson's conduct is considered reprehensible.

Hurray Albon finally gets a podium after being cheated out of his last few!

Aww Russell not getting any points that he's constantly being cheated out of.
