Always Carry A Book

Most people, when accused of a crime, if they are innocent they will refute it and point people to the refutation. They provide all the evidence, in specifics and point to specific things, and call it a day.

Most people, when they're guilty, will stop trying to provide any evidence because they don't want to go to jail and anything they say *can and will* be used against them. They usually shut up and try to ignore it.

Sometimes though you encounter this special type of histrionic person who is so concerned with themselves that they can't help but continuously rat themselves out and mald over it. Law enforcement and PI's love these people. They are the best sources. They tend to sing like songbirds when given a proffer. They also provide way more than enough evidence for their own convictions with very little pressure. They have the right to remain silent... but lack the complete ability.

Brainstorming Request! - I need help coming up with a name.

So some solarpunks and anarchists and mutual aid folks and food folks are coming together in my town and we need a group name.

Two constraints:

It needs to be: FXBG <something>

FXBG is the local town branding for Fredericksburg. So we have FXBG Hackers, FXBG Solarpunks, FXBG Winery, FXBG Arsonists, FXBG... well you get the idea.

The other is we want it do be food related. Mutual aid related. Sort of thing. So something that encapsulates food security, free fridges, food rescue / gleaning. Buuuut... its not the only mutual aid group in town, so it can't be too overarching. Like no FXBG Mutual Aid or similar.

What are your (and I mean you... the one who read all the way to the bottom of this post) thoughts?

"FXBG Free Fridge & Food Rescue" is too much of a mouthful.

"FXBG Food" is too generic

"FXBG Gleaners" isn't specific enough

"FXBG Food Rescue" doesn't include the free fridges.

I need help!!!!

Man, fuck these tech companies and their elitist, out of date, and overly-selective hiring practices. We're human beings not just some sort of plug 'n play devices, you absolute wankers.

Mass resignation of the editorial board of the Journal of Human #Evolution. #Elsevier has gone bad. Very bad, in fact.

Gotta "love" how tankies use academic language and "read theory" argument to sound more smart and aware to silence victims of Russian regime

Audiobooks don’t count as reading. Reading doesn’t count as reading. Nothing counts as reading. There is no reading. You’re not even reading this. Everything you know is false. Wake up sheeple.
