Condo is back on. I'm gonna drink until I can't feel feelings.

Band practice was fun last night. We played stuff we hadn't looked at in a while. Weird how easily some of it came back.

God, I love the song "Satellite of Love."

The piano is lovely and the drummer is a Rutle. And David Bowie in the outro. So good.

Anyone know what sites have actually reliable, spam-free info for American students considering going to college abroad?

Google is dead and suggesting ChatGPT will catch you a block

@ian The foreign schools' own sites, probably. US schools also often have international study programs that earn students local credit if they are enrolled here.

This was in the lobby of the campus center today, and my first thought was, "I don't know, I'd like to survive too."

I've been watching Time Team again. Desire to find an arrowhead growing. I'd love to do a dig one day. A few years ago there was a public dig at or near Lindesfarne. That would have been pretty epic.

It’s always nice to get the rare bit of credit. Unfortunately, it’s incorrect which means no one gets to the website. It’s sharonahill.com, an important distinction.

This is the story of my day.

@idoubtit Oops. I've been writing SharonTheHill.co..

Did not get the condo. Already have another bid in at an equally nice place a little farther out at about the same price. I am a leaf on the wind.

What kind of dystopian nightmare has UNC Chapel Hill turned into? This is exactly the indoctrinating, authoritarian environment that reactionaries pretend (supposedly liberal) universities are - except that they worship indoctrination and authoritarianism when it meets their goals. The Panopticon is just the Foucauldian cherry on top here. https://www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty-issues/academic-freedom/2024/05/20/letter-says-unc-chapel-hill-secretly-records

Since I've taken up this platform I've only put out one post "of my own" and that was really just a test to see if anyone would engage on this strange, new place I was checking out. I prefer to respond to other people and discuss what's on their minds rather than to put my own topics out there. But this has really been bugging me lately, so I'm going to throw it out there and if no one cares then nothing changes and I'll keep kicking it around in my own mind.

If you don't want to hear or think about COVID feel free to tune out now and not follow along with the rest of my thoughts.

I am really interested in what people have to say here, and I welcome any real life thoughts on the subject whether you are having the same experiences or not. What I'm really not interested in is any "COVID isn't real" or "plandemic" nonsense and I'll block accordingly.

@BE I've regrettably come to the conclusion that there is a disconcertingly high number of people who are not capable of making good healthcare choices for themselves (or others in their care).
