By their reasoning, every place should be made into a motorway or parking lot, because the people who don’t live there and would only want to drive through there inevitably outnumber those who live there and selfishly want to use it for other things.

You know how open-hardware gadgets often have a statement like “trans rights are human rights” or “black lives matter” printed on the circuit board? One wonders whether ModRetro have similar statements, only fascist/reactionary, on their boards or chip dies. Perhaps some Crusader motto in Latin, or the chapter and verse of a particularly harsh Bible passage, or just some 14s and 88s scattered all over the place.

…steps forward for the role of First Lady

In the original folk tale, it wasn’t a kiss, and she woke nine months later.

People would soon block it out, as they do with other things out of their control. They’d mourn their dead, there’d be poems and ballads and darkly ironic stories about those squashed by the Hand, and figures of speech alluding to this, but people wouldn’t fret about it. And if it kills 365 people a year around the world, that is a fairly low death toll, so it would be classified with improbable but spectacular threats like sharks or volcanoes, rather than car accidents or heart disease.

Canis tantalus

Did the building owners and/or some community group commission a sculptor to create it, possibly paid for by public subscription, or did it just appear one day, and end up not being removed, like what would later be called “street art”?

How does this compare to the Tomahawk and/or the Taurus? Or, indeed, what Ukraine currently has?

The Far Side is a slightly more surreal take on the American newspaper funny-pages tradition like The Family Circus and such. Hergé it ain’t. (Produce some Swedish comics with a similar sensibility that American comics before it didn’t have and you might have a case, but the burden of proof is on the extraordinary claim.)

The Donald Duck comics made for the European market in recent decades (drawn in Italy, and translated into numerous languages, if I recall correctly) would be a special case, though the original Mickey Mouse is as American as Betsy Ross. The fact that most comics we call “American”were produced by people of European ancestry does not erase the distinction between it and European comics.

It’s not really MIPS-like, predating that architecture and being modelled on CISC architectures (though greatly simplified)

How well does this play on a Steam Deck?

 

Jordan Peterson is in ICU again. This time it’s not experimental drug treatment in Russia, but apparently the result of mould exposure, and/or a spiritual attack by unknown evildoers. His daughter and fellow carnivore influencer has called for prayers.

Panicked Curtis Yarvin—JD Vance's guru—plans to flee USA

The arsehole was quoted:

The second Trump revolution, like the first, is failing. It is failing because it deserves to fail. It is failing because it spends all its time patting itself on the back. It is failing because its true mission, which neither it nor (still less) its supporters understand, is still as far beyond its reach as algebra is beyond a cat. Because the vengeance meted out after its failure will dwarf the vengeance after 2020—because the successes of the second revolution are so much greater than the first—I feel that I personally have to start thinking realistically about how to flee the country. Everyone else in a similar position should have a 2029 plan as well. And it is not even clear that it will wait until 2029: losing the Congress will instantly put the administration on the defensive.

Me:

So apparently not all is good in broligarchy land. Still it’s more likely he might be suffering some breakdown instead. Relatively poverty stricken people buy expensive convertibles when they have a midlife crises. People like him poop on the internet. Most likely he will be around, for sometime, causing grief

 

Has anyone else noticed CoMaps’ handling of touch events (on iOS, at least) being a bit janky? Sometimes it zooms when I want to scroll, or zooms out when I want to zoom in. Is this a known issue that a fix is planned for?

 

Apparently DOGE isn’t killing enough people (literally or metaphorically)

 

2024: Ireland accuses Israel of genocide. Israel ends diplomatic relations with Ireland. Ireland’s membership in the EU protects it from punitive sanctions from Israel’s allies

2025: The UK starts dumping non-EU-compliant goods into the EU customs zone through Ireland, undercutting EU producers. The EU moves to suspend Ireland from the Customs Union. Ireland calls on the EU for diplomatic backup. Germany replies “lol get rekt antisemites”. Ireland is reunited as an economic satellite of the UK, a century or so after independence
