so uh. this is what the author of The Care And Keeping Of You looks like.

The thing is that I don’t want to be employed but I also don’t want to be unemployed. I actually want our entire economic system to explode but that’s not really a feasible option right now

Firefox Rolls Out Total Cookie Protection By Default | The Mozilla Blog
Take back your privacy Firefox is rolling out Total Cookie Protection by default to more Firefox users worldwide, making Firefox the most pr
blog.mozilla.org
Total Cookie Protection works by creating a separate “cookie jar” for each website you visit. Instead of allowing trackers to link up your behavior on multiple sites, they just get to see behavior on individual sites. Any time a website, or third-party content embedded in a website, deposits a cookie in your browser, that cookie is confined to the cookie jar assigned to only that website. No other websites can reach into the cookie jars that don’t belong to them and find out what the other websites’ cookies know about you — giving you freedom from invasive ads and reducing the amount of information companies gather about you.
This approach strikes the balance between eliminating the worst privacy properties of third-party cookies – in particular the ability to track you – and allowing those cookies to fulfill their less invasive use cases (e.g. to provide accurate analytics). With Total Cookie Protection in Firefox, people can enjoy better privacy and have the great browsing experience they’ve come to expect.
anyway switch to Firefox

it’s not just about replacing big authors, it’s about replacing ghost writers completely. which will make publishing and writing for a living even more inaccessible. it’s bad all the way down.

Leverage meme ≡ quotes [5/5] → from Nathan Ford
My name is Nathan Ford. And I… am a thief.
#hmm thanks for reminding me that I actually rather love this character #leverage #nathan ford #he’s not a good man really #(though by some terrifying metrics he is indeed a Good Man)#but he has aligned himself with good and he will get there come hell or high water #the thing is #he is the hell and he is the high water #he is the monster that hunts monsters #the abyss consumed him long ago and that’s just. how it is. he just lives here now #because that’s the thing #the abyss consumes you and everything…doesn’t end #you keep living #you keep living even though you are nothing but howling rage in the shell of a man #but then you turn that rage and that abyss upon the monsters that made you #and you bring the abyss to them (via @aethersea)

There are moments when Nate goes completely cold and he is way scarier than any of them, or all the rest of them combined, like a reminder of what is sitting there under the surface - an incomparably brilliant mind with no heart to anchor it and nothing to believe in.
you can tell that Nate is an ex-Jesuit, or perhaps more accurately an almost-Jesuit

He has this Catholic self-hatred coupled with this deeply rooted sense he’s better than others and it’s all tied together with a large amount of ‘here, hold my beer’
“My father would buy me an ice-cream” is just the the most terrifying thing anyone in the show says.
He says, in one line, that he was raised to be bad, knows how to be bad, chose to be good, fell, chose to be good by doing bad, but his gut reflex, the one he’s been supressing for his entire life, is just to be a walking nightmare, exactly what you’d expect if you rewarded a child for lying, cheating, swindling, and hurting for fun and profit.
Nate Ford is not a nice man. But he’s all that’s standing between us and Jimmy Ford’s Son, so let’s be thankful for that.
