Boeing effectively is the US military, so it's in zero danger of going out of business, no matter how incompetently it's run.

Dead people (lemmy.world)
 

Being old, death gets my attention, so I read the obituaries. This is a collection of recent obits, mostly of people whose work touched my life, because I want to say thanks (or maybe give 'em a final fuck you).

There’ll be a roundup like this occasionally, until I’m on the list myself.

Why do some men dis other men who sit to pee? (& follow-up questions) in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Also (sorry, but old guy here) the nozzle sometimes unexpectedly sprays sideways. It's no worry if you're sitting down, but if you're standing up you might've just wet your pants... or the pants of the unlucky schmoe at the neighboring urinal.

Harris: Let's do not enough about climate change.

Trump: Let's burn the planet to the ground.

Not every post, comment, or spoken word in life is intended to convince anyone of anything. It's a laugh, for folks with a sense of humor.

Google is purging ad-blocking extension uBlock Origin from the Chrome Web Store in c/aiop@lemmy.world
[–] DougHolland@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days ago (1 children)

If I hadn't switched from Chrome years ago, this would be a kick in the pants to make it happen. The internet without ad-blockers is a swirling cesspool of endless annoyances.

San Francisco's new Counterculture Museum to tell the story of Haight-Ashbury in the 1960s in c/aiop@lemmy.world
[–] DougHolland@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I'm not sure how cynical to be about this. Probably it'll suck, because almost everything sucks, but jeez if it's done right a counterculture reminder could be a marvel.

It's from the same guy who runs the Beat Museum in North Beach, which opened some years after I moved away from San Francisco, so I've never seen it. Any bay area locals want to chime in, and tell me whether the Beat Museum is worthwhile?

Hurricane survivors face Category 5 storm of disinformation from Trump, Republicans in c/aiop@lemmy.world
[–] DougHolland@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

① Republicans target the lowest-info and dumbest people, which is apparently about 47% of America ② ... tell them the biggest whoppers ③ And never stop lying, because the media barely and only belatedly factchecks, and anyway, their top lie is that you can't trust the media.
