Amateur juggler (very much in the sense of the French amateur "one who loves, lover", from which it is derived). Linux geek, dogherd, enough of a programmer to get myself in trouble. ALL OPINIONS ARE XIOMBARG'S.

God telling them to wasn't enough, apparently.

I'll do [thing I need to do] in 15 minutes, when I'm done with [thing I like]

It's almost as if Trump was deliberately being an awful person or something.

This clip desperately needs silly sound effects.

Grew up as a programmer on Vi, now:
Vim on XUbuntu and Win11 WSL.
NVim on Omarchy
'set -o vi' in Bash. Anyone sense a theme here?

The trouble is that science and anti-science are asymmetrical. You can't have 420 'science bills'; that's just not how science works.

Oh, look! Trump's wearing his used-car-salesman's-teeth! I suspect that this is one of the reasons that there aren't more pictures of him smiling -- he looks particularly smarmy when he is.

Heather Cox Richardson called him 'The Elf on the Shelf', and now I can't unsee it.

I sadly agree (about gimp... haven't spent enough time with krita to know)

The thing that's maddening is that the engine underneath it all is just fine, it's just godawful to use.

Or under the septic tank. I'm not picky.

That *is* what we've been training members of the military to do since WWII, after all.

TBF, maybe some of them have been refusing, and we just don't know. It's not like the administration would be telling us that.

Isn't 'since we obviously learned nothing from the last 60 years of...' official U.S. policy right now? It's the MAGA equivalent of adding 'in bed' to the end of all of the fortune cookies.

Mine always seem to step on the nards on the way up to lick my face. You'd think that seeing me jerk would deter that, but no...

I'm not so sure. I think that it's probably worth a good amount of money to him for it to come out later that the art was left on the walls during the demolition. Owning the libs and all that. Could be both: he leaves some of them there to be found (to make people mad), then keeps the good stuff.

Thank god it's not a remake of the 70s Disney movie.

Yeah. That was, ironically, a thinko on my part. I was looking at U.S. population (~300M of course) rather than number of deaths / year.

Oh... I see... renaming it 'The Gulf of America' was just giving him plausible deniability. Clever. /s

This. A thousand times this. The manure that garden grew in was carted in by Murdoch and the Koch bros.

This has a disturbing similarity to Miley Cyrus' Wrecking Ball music video, and I'm nopeing *SO* hard at the idea of the Stain in that level of undress.
