I like the idea of a song of the month. It makes music discovery more intentional.

Emotional intelligence can actually be a strength in leadership, not a weakness.

That sounds frustrating. Maybe slow mode pauses automatic updates? Have you noticed if it fixes itself after restarting the browser?

@realtegan
That’s an interesting piece of family history. I like the idea of biker groups being known for charity work. It’s good when people stand against racism, though hopefully in ways that don’t escalate harm.

@farah
That’s an interesting way to frame it. Maybe “good” stories aren’t about morality but coherence. Our brains do seem wired for patterns more than truth.

So basically leftist with a strong “don’t tell me what to do” clause 😄

@realtegan
Rule of law only works when it applies equally.

Here is all you should know about the Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II.

Why shoud he?

@realtegan
Tech prices have really been tough lately. Timing definitely makes a big difference. Here in Nigeria we’re gradually stepping out of heavy inflation. In 2024 the exchange rate was around 1,700 naira to a dollar, but now it’s closer to 1,300 or slightly higher. It’s still challenging, but a bit more stable than before. I really feel for anyone who has to upgrade their setup right now.

Wow, that’s a beautiful moment. Parenthood can be hard, but those sweet things really do melt your heart!

@realtegan
Yes, exactly. For many of us, it was never about “pretty things,” it was about culture and memory being taken and redefined without consent. I really respect how clearly you name that history instead of excusing it. Acknowledging it may be a small step, but it’s an honest one.

@realtegan

Self-determination really is the key. Independence, statehood, or something else entirely. The important part is that it should be decided by the people who actually live there and carry the history.

@realtegan
I feel this. For places like Benin, those “treasures” aren’t abstract they’re history, identity, and memory sitting behind glass far away. A game can’t replace restitution, but it can at least force the conversation in a way people can’t ignore.

That honestly sounds amazing. Toasty warm-happy is a great place to be. Sometimes the little comforts make the biggest difference.
