During the opening ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics, the NBC commentators made a point of saying that the Ukrainian athletes would be going right by Vladimir Putin.
I thought, what is he going to do? Jump out in front of them? Throw a tantrum? Attack? Flip the bird? đź–•
No, he sat in his seat like any adult would. lol

We got a chance tonight to watch the recorded opening of the Beijing Olympics. As far as I could tell, NBC left few political stones unturned.
The audio output of my TV coupled with my high-frequency hearing loss means I could hardly make out any of it, so I was able to enjoy! đź—Ł đź‘‚ đź‘Ť

I remember a long time ago, some of the more classy restaurants would have something on the table or in the menu that said “Tipping is not a city in China.”

While rooting around in some things today, I found this old gay party invitation from Guadalajara. 1985, maybe, pre-Internet of course. This was the time of the especially severe AIDS horrors, but the parties had to go on. We had to keep the music playing and remember the fallen ones and the ones falling.
I looked up the address, BĂ©lgica 469, Guadalajara. It appears to be a house (see image). I don’t remember going to a party in a house. Either the building is different, I didn’t go, or I just don’t remember being there for various reasons.
One scan is the entire invitation, then I broke it up into two shorter scans to be able to see the whole thing.
I’ll attempt to translate top to bottom. It might be hit or miss. Feel free to help me.

Some gay places from long ago. Greensboro and Guadalajara.
Look at the design on the wall. Same place!
The young woman is one of the daughters of the family with which I stayed in Guadalajara my first time in 1980. The other pic is current. A mere 41.5 years whooshing by.
I love every freakin’ thing about the Guadalajara Metropolitan Zone (ZMG). ❤
I was so hoping to start Sunday morning by reading a good creative lampoon or mock along with my coffee, but my feeds are taking a break from it.
I am also unable to conjure one myself.
I know little of what I do, but running Twitter and Facebook as web apps on Linux Mint works well. Use Vivaldi browser to have the separate profile option.
— opens right up into the site all logged in
— isolated profiles
— no cookie mixing
A big one is that it solves Twitter’s compulsive refresh problem.
I like it.
As if WordPress weren’t a mega PITA already, the WP mobile app on Android has gone crashy.
