@sluggodoug.bsky.social I have a great 80s movie suggestion: "From the Hip". Judd Nelson. John Hurt. Others. A whole hearing about the word "ass". It's a classic!

A US citizen has apparently been shot by ICE agents in Minneapolis. I’m gathering information, but the situation on the ground is volatile.

@sluggodoug.bsky.social in the 70s our local "good" rock station in Minneapolis was KQRS. They would do a 'midnight album hour' each week where they played a whole side, then a commercial break, then the other side. That was how I supplemented my collection - both with an 8-track and cassette.

Is there a list of places I can shop (online) for everyday stuff and not feel badly about it? <glare>amazon, you suck</glare>

🤯 great point!

2. always 2. also, powers of 2. Hence, always 2.

My first month using the mac for coding was very old school. It took me a while to lean into a good tool chain. But yes! It is so smooth. VS Code with the right extensions and a vim key map has changed my world.

It’s a computer screen, showing the words “this is a commodore PET” (the brand of computer)

This phrase also doubles up as the way to introduce Lionel Richie to a Geordie.

(Not sure this gag will travel, tbh. I apologise in advance)
