using sunscreen, sun shirts + sun hats more has made a big difference. i’m also taking B-3 which is believed (shown to?) reduce some skin cancers.
everything is messed up, so i’ll take good news in whatever form it arrives. graduated to yearly exams today after two full yrs of no skin cancers. so yippee, i guess
COMMENTARY: If this was happening in another nation, we'd call it by name. It's authoritarianism.
i still have mine as well (if the instance is still up) but the HOA stuff was just incessant. like, go complain abt my jokes to someone who cares.
+1. i left twitr so abruptly that i didn’t delete my account. by the time i decided i shld, i cld no longer login. that was a *small* amount of time. it became so broken i couldn’t even properly cleanup. then mastodon… that was briefly interesting but became a tedious HOA meeting. \_(ツ)_/
we’re gonna find out whether IL cops are willing to shoot TX NG troops. if they do, that’s the line. no idea how we return from that as a united country
this side for what now
alright ok
awesome
40 at least. maybe 50
enjoy. i’ve had more than i can count

he was seen leaving for golfing this morn
so six months[-ish] and counting. feels exciting + a little scary tbh. big changes coming
i drove to the airport at 3:30AM every TUE for yrs. the stars are sooo bright that time of night.
TOM THAT DOG TURD IS ON FIRE BE CAREFUL
one day, i will actually do this
look behind you
initially misread that as big turd in pond

When a Dem state lawmaker and spouse were murdered, it didn’t require a federal occupation to find the guy and charge him. A staffer with a childish nickname gets punched by a couple of 15 year olds and six states cheerfully line up to aid a takeover of an American city.
yikes. wtf etc
wait, you mean the loser gets that

early on in freepository’s existence, i created a utility that allowed members to click a button + receive a tarball of their entire repo implementation. not just source, but the entire version history database that they cld just drop in somewhere else. trust is earned. it’s your code, not mine.
This author used a famous photo — showing some sheriffs preparing to “defend” Ole Miss from desegregation — and tracked down their descendants to see how their racist actions warped their families. ICE goons might avoid a book like this by wearing masks, but their families will know.
It sounds conspiratorial to suggest that Vladimir Putin told Donald Trump behind closed doors to launch an assault on mail-in voting in elections administered by the states, and Trump immediately set about mobilizing federal power to do it… but that is literally Trump’s account of what happened.
doom + gloom sucks, but here we are. defending against this requires accepting the harsh reality that approximately half our country are horrible people who want to harm others.
maga states will go along w/ trump’s illegal takeover of election administration while sane blue states won’t. in the best case, this triggers two effectively separate elections w/ different outcomes. maga howls they won + becomes violent. worst case, it triggers hot civil war pre-election.

making voting a life-threatening exercise for anyone with brown or black skin is the objective. no one can see your skin color on a mail-in ballot, so those will be forbidden. show up in person where our armed government thugs (slave patrol) can *see* if you shld be allowed to vote.
back from first walk. really nice out; mornings have been consistently cool recently. saw six, maybe seven deer - there was a shape behind a large stand of bushes - on the far side of the gulley.

Is there any proof that these men were “federal agents”? The video labels them that but the post notes they were masked and unidentified. Looks like an attempted carjacking, not anything resembling an arrest. They ask for badges and the guy silently puts on black gloves?
I’m gonna say armed troops from red states descending on a blue city is just a few inches — or maybe one exchange of gunfire — short of a civil war’s opening stages.
MAAAAAAA’AAAAAAAAAAAM
ok, this has legs
MA’AM
ma’am

Ice agent struck by sandwich seeks counseling, says he can't even walk through deli without fearing for his life and has been diagnosed with BLTSD
Personally I don't think government policy should be determined by someone who handcuffed themselves to the Twitter office and was banned from using Uber for being racist

yikes, but yes
if (when?) national guard fire on citizens, a bright red line will have been crossed. lots of thoughts, none happy
sometimes it’s just a great visual layout that isn’t obvious until you see it. i went 20 yrs without one because of what i do. my creds were ‘i made [x]’ that isn’t a universal approach
yeah, sight unseen is kinda sketchy
also? you have a network of people here who probably have that skill
i believe this service might be associated w/ local unemployment offices. unsure of quality, but might be a starting point

Masked agents of the state are removing random people off the streets into unmarked cars while saying “liberals ruined the country.” I never want to hear anyone who supports MAGA claim to believe in freedom ever again.
they may have meant to ‘print to pdf’ + ended up printing to the hotel printer three floors away in the business center. complete dipshits along all dimensions
are the lectures corny
that’s a neat idea
are you a spy
just back from first walk. pleasant + a bit cool, probably 65F in the open space. no wildlife seen today but there were a *lot* of people running + walking dogs. weekends bring out more people, especially later in the morn like now.
I feel smug about recognizing rather early on that Noah Smith is a piece of shit. That doesn't make up for times I was slow on the uptake. But still.
Giant snake people. Duh
i recall a few investors asking me how i was better than Otter way back when. not even knowing this, i said my service wld always be 100% private
love it

I have lost all patience with the apparently unshakeable conviction that striking a reasonable, moderate pose means assuming the sincerity of transparently pretextual horseshit. Donald Trump does not care about reducing crime in DC. He is testing and normalizing paramilitary deployments in cities.
wonder what got handed off
i’ve hauled hay a few times over the yrs. hard but satisfying work. i got pretty good w/ the hook bringing bales up top.
oh great

glad to see you pop up here. i’m hoping for the best for you - always have.
hey karen, can you jump on a quick call
see my last couple posts
Throw a sandwich at an agent & the Trump administration charges you with a felony. But calling police Nazis & Gestapo & repeatedly yelling "Kill 'em! Kill 'em! Kill 'em!" to a violent mob as they're beating them will get you a Trump pardon & a top job at the Justice Department.
also? it was a 100% web app. nothing was installed on your phone, ever. privacy is actually easy if that’s your goal.
[ i invented hosted source control ] i wrote my book using a voice transcription app i created. it didn’t save anything except what i explicitly opted in to + it always asked permission before it enabled the phone’s microphone. i’m stunned that so many tech co’s flippantly violate basic privacy.
