"I don't care that he's dead."
"He's not a hero."
"He's a scumbag."
"He shouldn't be celebrated."

No, no. I'm not saying that about Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk said that about George Floyd.

Just in case anyone's interested in what he thought was fair to say about someone who was killed on camera.

Rebrand of the week: The CDC becomes the Centers for Disease, mocking the Cracker Barrel rebrand logo.

I didn’t realize outdoor patio umbrellas needed restroom facilities.

I most definitely can’t get it out of my head, so good guess!

Damn you. I'll bet you can guess what's going through my head right now.

If there's a god in heaven, the White House will be struck by lightning asap.

Great way for them to collect insurance money on cars that won’t sell.

Strangely, my levels of hope have done nothing but plummet since the 20th.

This is why the current pushback on DEI is so fucking awful. I absolutely benefit from being on a diverse team, and my work benefits from it. It's just reflexive misogyny and racism pushing back because certain people don't want to see their privilege lessened.

Mike Luckovich gets it right as he always does

It was a super thoughtful and persuasive video. He articulated a lot of what I’ve been feeling.

Excellent idea, but I think they still have to have significant equity stakes before society will care. :/

Post from Janel Comeau, “backsliding into fascism just 80 years after WWII is like failing an open-book test in a room where the answers are written on the board and also being constantly read out loud over a loudspeaker.”

And yet here we are.

Agreed!

Sigh. The dude's not even in office yet and I am so overwhelmingly tired of hearing about the next horror. I don't know if I can do 4 more years of this. :(

Many think kindness and humility are signs of weakness. They are wrong. True warriors know that to help others and to ask for nothing in return are the mightiest acts of honor. Cruelty is for the weak. Offer help, show kindness freely, for tomorrow it could be you who requires aid.

The first year we didn’t coordinate with the ship at all, and found out that their dhcp scope was only 256 addresses. The cruise lines have been great at working with us since we started working with them.

It started as a project that ran as a vm on my laptop from my cabin, but it has built out to the point where we have a 1u server that the ship hosts.

Absolutely. I've had multiple friends with mobility issues attend with no issues.

I've got the server in my den right now getting prepared for next years cruise! We nerds need our connectivity at sea!

Trump and the GOP have never shied away from doing whatever is in their immediate self interest regardless of norms. Good for Joe. Leaving his son to be a political pawn would have been deeply unfair.

It’s not like the leopard will eat *their* face!

Happy Thanksgiving for all those who will be celebrating! Take care of yourselves first. I’m very lucky not to have to deal with MAGAs at the dinner table, but give yourself space if you do have to navigate that minefield.

I’m a middle aged computer nerd, a woodworker and avid gamer that very much enjoys your writing. Thanks for doing what you do!

I’ve had similar issues. Certain medications have given me intense brain fog and inability to concentrate. Finding the right medications was such a relief.

Pico is adorable!
