You’re correct about this posts summary of the events. It confused the names and suggests that the shop owner tore down the flag and fired a handgun. The article reads better, the alleged attacker is not named.

Note that is culture.

I would say that you can be vegan and still be eating food that was shipped in on boats then trucks. Vegan would be a net positive for any switch from the conventional western diet, but I see the merit in focusing in on carbon footprint of the food in question. And as potentially silly as calling oneself a ‘regenivore’ is, it still conveys a message and invitation for others to learn about alternatives and things they might too value.

Yooo I’ve been on a kick of Milo/R.A.P. Ferreira for a couple months now. My first experience was the album budding ornithologists are tired of weary analogies - love the flowing thought streams of more abstract connections. Have not heard cavalcade so I’ll give it a listen!

And I just reread your comment for what sounds like: editing tips so scenes don’t go on too long. Make them shorter. An apparently misquote attributed to Mark Twain goes “if I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter.” Terrible ‘tip’ I know, but by finding what it is you’re trying to accomplish with a scene and then trimming all the excess it is like refining a jewel so it shines more brightly.

Without knowing more of the specifics I can recommend some general tips. It sounds like, from “knit everything together”, you have a bag of scenes that you started because you liked them but didn’t necessarily have how they fit together in mind. That’s ok but it’s a little bit the “we’ll fix it in post” approach - but that’s what editing is for! Just takes longer.

Ok, if that’s the premise I would say my favorite way to tie scenes together is by them ‘rhyming’, Fifth Element does this beautifully. Every transition somehow rhymes with the how the scene before it ended. It’s not a copy however, a character lighting a cigarette at the end of a scene isn’t matched by another lit cigarette but it could be a plume of exhaust from a car, or characters around a fire, or perhaps someone coughing from a punch in the stomach. All you’re doing is rhyming with how the scene before ended. Bonus points if it emphasizes the scene somehow, totally fine if it’s just a transition into something engaging.

Just wanting to clarify a difference from the copy paste edit, particularly the claim about cyberpsychosis. Here’s the paragraph from the article, parentheses are my addition:

A new Edgerunners perk allows you to even surpass that (the limit of cyberware), while accepting some penalties, like having a health debuff. “It’s all about this balance between risk and reward,” Sasko explained. “We are not going as far as the introduction of cyberpsychosis though, have that in mind.”

I would probably enjoy some gameplay mechanic of cyberpsychosis but I’m not sure how they would pull that off outside of a scripted story sequence. For the most part, players are already gunning down everyone in the room, so cyberpsychosis only has meaningful impact if you end up killing someone you wanted to protect. I imagine it would be hard for that situation to show up organically.

Grit on my skin. Flowing,
softer with the light and
cut
down the middle. There's more
to the width of a line / bisected
the fullness of an atom not merely divided.
I am burst into light. Evading and evaporating.
Shadows contour the ground,
Harsh edges form and beg to burst as well,
to bathe every surface in that vastness of spirit.
but,
it requires
compression.
The distinction between forces
and the energy to move between them.
The will is.
Like a shadow, the evidence.
Catching, in a gasp,
as the pendulum of self slides through that razor-thin line.

Looked up “John Mastodon” and found tons of recent astroturfing of this name and recent Twitter account. Not sure if this post is an attempt to create a further paper trail for a fictitious individual - or just participation in the meme of “John Mastodon”

Yo, Session is tight! Just picked it back up recently and forgot how tough it can be. Super fun to cruise around the map and find spots to try tricks over and over. The lack of UI is so nice to just hang out in

I’ve gotten really into rogue-likes (rogue-lites second) and am currently playing through Children of Morta and Devil Slayer Raksasi. Children of Morta is much more fun with another player, the gameplay is enjoyable but the synergy of two players is great. Story is nice with narration for everything.

Devil Slayer Raksasi is a top down, weapon-based, action game set in Chinese mythology. It sorta reminds me of a flash game but the combat is super fun. Distance and timing are crucial, and with any good rogue-like you can get some real steamroller item combos. The gameplay is really fun but the story is mostly forgettable haha

“Like its earlier namesake, AGRA’s ‘revolution’ reduces farmers’ autonomy, making them reliant on artificial inputs such as fertilizers and pesticides supplied by corporations, the civil society alliance says. Moreover, these agrochemicals ravage the natural world – from waterways to insects – and play a central role in the world’s environmental crises.”

Echoes baby formula companies coming in telling African people’s breast milk is not as good as formula, creating a dependency on formula when the birthing person does not work on their breast milk supply (by feeding or pumping). Doubly troublesome when the water needed for the formula is not clean and infants then get sick.

Babies can be fed by the parent’s body, people can grow food sustainably tailored to their own environment - though that is not profitable for people looking to take advantage of others.

The gaps between my memory and the way we felt about it. Shade, shadows, edges of “I’m sorry” return the shape of something I couldn’t see. I try to make connections. I’m not sure if it’s pareidolia or poignant. I’m left with leaves on the ground, desire growing like grasses, and pits where I cannot.

Though, I remember softness. The kind that is inviting and patient. Natural and, asks for nothing. I stayed too long, my impression is that I pressed my weight into you and left you wilted.

What I cannot see is if you ever rebounded. Rose from the earth, your head at a gentle angle and with a single inhalation regained that soft countenance.
