STATEHOOD FOR D.C.

Me, cleaning the Thunderdome coffee pot: I am a golden god.

I think more people should just… go and see the DNC building. They will be disabused of their notions of the haughty power of the Establishment.

Yes, but how often do you openly posit “some bug” as a culprit for things?

Cosmic Cantina: the thirst quenching burrito

I grew up on these streets

Same energy with Dax and Worf’s marriage in DS9. They clearly don’t like each other and that’s just… marriage.

Okay this is actually pretty good.

Two hours feels like a long time to spend with Happy Gilmore.

I also really enjoy the bit about how a corner points to Mecca. With four walls and four corners, you have 8 entities arrayed around a point. Of course one of them "points" towards Mecca to within some deviation. So does every other building on earth by that definition.

“Paris, Texas” is two and a half hours of “man, fuck this guy.”

Lucky from King of the Hill

Fuck.

Leave it to Billy Bragg to rhyme “accident waiting to happen” with “dedicated swallower of fascism.”

The most sci fi thing about Brave New Worlds is the tensile strength on Pike's hair gel.

“I got yer fundamental attribution error right here, buddy!”

“Trapped in a well? Get a job, man!”

I believe the previous org that had this remit, INS, had the quality of a) handling all manner of immigration, documented and not, and b) was partially funded by fees from visas and various forms processing, and that meant they had people throughout who thought of it holistically rather than… this.

Hell yeah

AI: Gets pretty good at writing boilerplate text for pro forma purposes.
The Actual New Yorker: Has AI made writing pointless?!

Reading their justification, a big part of “why it’s okay” was “Well, he responded to questions,” meaning that people who act like people consent to be targets and people who deny deny deny will be treated with deference.

Mmmm… normalized data…

Every time I have an API project, I learn a bit more about oauth2 and get no closer to actually understanding it. Like a lot of foundational tech, its purposes are so generalized that trying to get it through the lens of, "Make API go brrrr" is like an ant trying to understand a grandfather clock.
