Good story : I fixed some stuff, and after 2 hours of aptitude, dpkg, and modifying kernel boot parameters in grub, I'm here.
I managed to run into two "grave" (I didn't know it could up to "grave") package bugs in Debian and I am baffled by the odds of that.

Short story : I don't have a graphical interface any more and it may stay that way for a few days.
Long story : some debian package manager put a dependency on a precise version of a xorg package that no distribution has and when I fixed it to update stuff I removed all of xorg.

So there's another troll post that's been going around on birdsite sponsoring the inclusion of "other stigmatized categories" (beware they're gross, and I won't CW them specifically) in LGBTQ+. Despite how obvious of a troll it is, people are still arguing back against it, distributing screenshots to condemn it, giving it wide and ample exposure, draining themselves through lengthy counterarguments that have no reasons to be, and I am just baffled by it all.

Foxes: Are we just fuzz all the way down? A recent scientific investigation suggests that might be the case, but it’s going to take a lot of petting to find out for sure.

@KitRedgrave in America we don't have folklore or a large cultural corpus anymore, and in the English language in general this has been gutted over the past few centuries

for a lot of people, Disney is the only access they have to a set of shared cultural stories and experiences, learned from a very young age

Three years before Stonewall, there were the sip-ins at NYC bars. At the time, places that served homosexuals could be shut down as they were considered "disorderly." A year after the protests, this rule was thrown out in court.

One of the men who helped start these protests, Dick Leitsch, has died.

It seems Google may have taken down Blender's videos on YouTube because they wouldn't display ads for them.

Okay. You know what? I'm instituting a new thing. You can participate if you want to but there's no shame if you don't.

I'm gonna call it #BeMyNeighborWeek in honor of the 50th anniversary of "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood". (I'm four months late, shh.)

Until 12:01 AM on June 24, I'm going to try to be like Mr. Rogers. No sick burns, no scoring points, no annoyed brush-offs. I will do my best to be patient and kind and understanding.

You can be my neighbor if you'd like.
