If someone had told me 30 years ago that 2026 was going to be this goddamn stupid and awful I straight up would not have believed them.

CHARLES RAFFERTY
The Problem with Early Warnings

People don't like to leave a party unless the house is actually on fire. Even then, if the flames are far enough away to be pretty, they'll finish their drink, take one more pass at the hors d'oeuvres.
How things happen has always been unclear. Hurricanes begin in a place where no one lives.
Agents of the government start to wear masks. Fascism is a word my neighbors won't use yet. They are following
the law, they say, and the sirens are coming for someone else.

Human beings are like parts of a body, created from the same essence.

When one part is hurt and in pain the others cannot remain in peace and be quiet.

If the misery of others leaves you indifferent and with no feelings of sorrow,

You cannot be called a human being.

-Saadi Shirazi

HB 2641 Washington State Legislature

Hey WA residents. The WA leg is considering bill, HB 2641, that ban ICE agents from being hired as LEOs in our state. Please use this portal to tell your state reps to support his bill. ICE agents are all unsuitable to serve as LEO’s app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary/...

Anyone who is part of the federal government who is not doing everything in their power to stop this administration, regardless of the assumed cost to normalcy or career, is a coward and a collaborator.

Actually engaging with it also "just leaves vulnerable people without knowledge", so why not just eat the world and gain nothing in return? 🤷‍♂️

PSA: Rider's insane autocomplete can be turned off by disabling "Local Full Line Completion Suggestions" in Editor->General->Inline Completion

Every time I hit TAB it was like someone grabbed the steering wheel and drove off a cliff for no apparent reason.

What is this bullshit?

No. No, no, no. I hate this. I don't want it. Just keep showing my follows in chronological order please, even if you think I've already read them.

And it's a lie anyways, three of the following ten posts were from follows that should have been above the notice.

JetBrains Rider does something similar, and it drives me BONKERS.

If I could fix it with a script I absolutely freaking would, but it's nowhere near as customizable as Godot apparently.

Very cool that you released this, I'm sure many people will appreciate it.

It exposes directional alignment; you still seek to limit, not expand, who is allowed to be human. Yes, you have set your limitation more inclusively than our fascist gang of white supremacists; it doesn't mean you're not also setting limitations & they'll use your limit as long as it serves them.

I have to say that after living through a satanic panic, it's very weird that everyone is suddenly extremely cool with everything running on ouija board technology
