Let's get this word a PR firm.

For those not familiar with a Wankel rotary Simpson, well...now you are.

Money can buy happiness. If Elon Musk built a rocket and shot himself into the fucking sun that would generate massive happiness.

In less than a week the Kennedy Center has effectively closed and our local DC paper has been gutted, both by billionaires.

I don’t think immigrants are our problem in this country.

Take my money!

chat is it a good thing when the US Attorney representing the DOJ is also afraid of getting disappeared by the same organizations they're representing

Releasing a letter like this publicly is like waving your dick around and saying, "Please clap."

Imagine a punch-card language that's procedurally the syntax of assembly...but with COBOL-like data structures. 🤓

Nope. Only CS course I ever took was freshman-level FORTRAN course to finally satisfy a physics-degree requirement during my junior year.

I'd already been programming 15+ years by then. :)~

You mean that center piece with all dasblinkenlights? Does it look sort of like a transporter control panel?

Yup! Wrote assembly code on a legal pad and then keypunched it onto cards.

An NCR Century series mainframe. Foreground, left-to-right: teletype (often used for hex entry), control panel, punch-card reader. Background: 2 magnetic tape drive cabinets.

Yup! My very first language, in fact, was an NCR Century mainframe assembly language called NEAT/3, and it used punch cards. This pic is a representative model that was installed nearby, though ours had 655 disk packs rather than magnetic tape.

New analysis shows that Jeff Bezos could absorb the Washington Post's annual losses for 5 years with the amount he makes in a single week.

His net worth has increased by $224 billion since buying the paper.

The hallmark (the “brand”) of the Washington Post has been accountability journalism. Thus, today’s staff decimation is Bezos’s greatest gift to Trump, so much more valuable than the Melania movie, inauguration money, etc. This disaster began, for real, with the Harris endorsement he killed.

I have the same dumb question!

"...a remake of the editorial page that now stands out only for its moral infirmity."

Well put.

The guy who owns Amazon shutting down the books section of the Washington Post is beyond parody

YouTube video by Ben Palmer Kindergarten teacher wants kindergartener deported

Kindergarten teacher called a prank ICE hotline thinking it was real. She called to report her 6 year old student to ICE to try to get them and their family deported.

6 years old.

She does not enjoy hearing her own words and actions played back to her.

A meme from January, 2024 showing two children standing in a corner, afraid, looking down at a bunny next to a bucket. The labels are: Children: Alpha Males Bunny: Taylor Swift Bucket: A football game

Bad Bunny effect predicted at least two years ago.

Chaser.

Shot.

Sounds like my dad, and then me, going all the way back to the 1970s. Dad was another crossword-in-ink speed-solver. He died before the Post went in the shitter, and so the digital-subscriber-to-won't-even-open-a-link arc describes me.

Indeed--or it's The Hague for you!

He should be careful or he'll get a reputation for that. 😏

No matter the breed, every dog has one of three default dispositions:

1. Dipshit
2. Has a Job
3. Trying to Pick a Fight with God

I want five bands you can't fucking stand.

1. All the recent decades of twangy Nashville power-pop-country achy-breaky-heart bullshit
2. Squeeze
3. There is no step 3
