let's not forget my super good xmas mix from 2012

sacred: "this little babe" (britten); "long way around the sea" and "if you were born today" (low);
secular: "in the bleak midwinter/corpus christi carol" (britten); "xmas card from a hooker in minneapolis" (waits); "the christmas song" (coxhill/akchoté/minton)

I trust this settles everything

I am normal and correctly interpreted "rope" when I read this immediately

every neoliberal policy analyst wants to "trim the fat" of society until the lean times come. community level resilience, redundancies, etc are good actually

~/.emacs.d/init.el and (hold on to your hat) `init.el` loads a further .el file derived from an org-mode file. it's a fucking mess

"wears programmer socks" is a Type of Gal afaict

not my profession any longer but "what's your philosophy?"

Weird Denglish use of "exceptionally" to mean "contrary to normal practice" as in "in December the store is exceptionally open saturdays 10–3"

"potato virus Y"? JRPG potato scourge

Not bad. But I named mine Being and Time because getting a beatdown is your ownmost not-to-be-outstripped potentiality for being

so it is very apparent that

1) You are not going to be able to know for sure who or where an order came from, much less if it is legal

2) The President and SecDef will disavow any order that retroactively proves to be unpopular or risky

ICE Wants to Go After Dissenters as well as Immigrants The Trump administration is being open about its plans to violate Americans’ First and Fourth Amendment rights.

A study of recent ICE deployments shows unequivocally that the principal targets are US citizens protesting against ICE, not immigrants. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

one of the problems I have with Democrats (and other critics) labeling these "war crimes" is that it accepts the underlying claim that the people being murdered are enemy combatants. They're not! it's just murder!

a lot of people debating the merits of that dogshit essay meanwhile the girl’s mom is retweeting demands to ban all trans people from teaching at any level. it’s forest for the trees shit

It's his teeth really

Tim Curry is excellent as a Victorian layabout

Government actors who refuse to be bound by the rule of law are not morally entitled to its protection.

if you ask students to list the causes of the Irish famine and they just say “the Irish are demonic” can you really not fail that kid?

Any of you can feel free to pitch in to get me this btw

I love how Scott decided the Zimbabwe school kid UFO story was more plausible once he realized the school kids were white colonists

The highest-ranking Democrat in the House went on to explain the concept as, "When you work hard and play by the rules in the United States of America, there should be no ceiling to the success that you can achieve." The idea posits that everyone should have the government's support to pursue the American Dream without limiting the success available to those already at the top.

It is *lunacy* for the ostensibly liberal opposition party to say we shouldn't limit any individual's wealth and power after watching a cadre of fascist billionaires systematically destroy this country. That's probably the single most important thing we *must* do!

oh my god

Not quite!

Senex bis puer frfr

Oh my god yes

How would you know

the real problem for the Democrats is that they’re committed only to help people in ways that leave nobody worse off (ie ways that impede nobody’s profits). so that basically leaves them with infrastructure and targeted tax breaks as the only policy levers.

In what order are the pieces arrayed at start? Pawn-knight-king I guess. So white has two possible openings. Is the board 8 squares long?

Certainly I don't get to exercise on the clock
