Owning nothing sure is expensive.

I like that ribbon type old-timey bookmark that beautifully bound books still have. Alas, I don't have the means to buy a whole lot of those so I mostly read print-on-demand paperbacks by fantastic, yet nearly forgotten authors. So I built myself a crooked little brass clip with a ribbon attached to enjoy some classic bookmarking action on any old pile of recycled paper I have on my puny bookshelf. Not an ad, not a piece of art, just a fun side project that didn't require a computer for once 😄

I remember Tim Pool to be a fun, humble, independent journalist who would take great care (and a long time) to make nigh unassailable arguments backed by sources he would also immediately name. When I first heard him on Joe Rogan back when I listened to Joe Rogan, Tim sounded almost boring trying to never give an opinion and to strictly adhere to what he firmly believed to be facts. Then he changed a little to become what he called a "Classical Liberal" - what we might call a minarchist - and committed himself to fight the "culture war", siding with the right wing. Now he's apparently become a mouthpiece for the government, arguing against the most traditionally American right-wing issue imaginable, the right to keep and bear arms. Here is the video my favourite podcaster Dave Smith has made about him, among other things:

So the city of Dallas had to close the new building of its construction permitting bureau because it ... lacked construction permits 😂
