Can you find the spec for section R2c? And bring up R2d, too.

If the votes aren't there for impeachment, they aren't there to override a veto, either. So really, when you look just a little, this is advice to Do Nothing. Disgusting.

"You Can See Everything" .... "Fine. Now get dressed."

humans sometimes say a person has a "punchable" face. This makes no sense to leopards, who prefer to call them "eatable" faces.

seeing someone post "I'm waiting on a late invoice payment and I'm overdrawn" and boy does my heart go out. Getting stiffed on 2 invoices for a total of around $5k is how I wound up homeless and lost some very good friends.

Seeing about as much Valkyries gear as Warriors gear today.

took a long time, but someone finally set me down and talked with me about rap and played examples. And then I got it, and some of the varieties, and then it was just, you know, cream on the inside clean on the outside....

confirmed that the ballot mailed to me and never delivered was returned to the county elections by the post office as a cast ballot and rejected because of no signature match. Was told they would send me a new ballot last Wednesday. No ballot received yet. The Post Office is screwing with elections

so the date/marry/kill format for a prompt could be changed to the hopium/copium/nopium prompt

Yay, arteries are stable, legs aren't getting worse and maybe a little better, no new surgery in the cards, no new meds, and a whole year til the next ultrasound.

An around-the-world cruise for 8 people. My grandkids, of course, their father, me, and 4 others.

"How's your diet going?" "Fuck off"

They started on illegal immigrants, expanded it to legal immigrants, now are going after naturalized citizens. If you are not one of those groups, you are just somewhere further down the chain, but they will get to eliminating your rights eventually too.

There will be blood for tax purposes

I know of a major telco who tried that. It lasted less than 1 day, when it was boosted to $2k per month. For reference, Anthropic calls plan tokens "promotional" - full use of a $20/month plan would bill at about $1200 if you were paying metered rates.

10/10, no notes.

I don't NEED a zip-front fleece hoody with attachable rainshell, and 12 pockets including an RFID "wallet" pocket. But it has 12 pockets......

it turns out that “optimize for engagement” and “optimize for societal best outcomes” are opposing goals and if you look at the entire history of the tech industry you can see which of those two wins out

If you think technology will solve your problems you don't understand technology—and you don't understand your problems. —Laurie Anderson

Ruin a book by adding a word: The Chicago Manual of Gangnam Style

"Wow, good thing that those flying leopards eating the faces of those Russian data centers would never eat the face of any data center anywhere near me-and-mine"

Many people like to laugh at medieval illuminations of stag-snails, oh those funny medieval artists making up anim...

This Land is Your Land of Confusion

Got a "look for your ballot in the mail" email Monday. Haven't seen it through today. Get a "Post Office has picked up your ballot for return delivery" email today. Shenanigans, I'm guessing.

What insect takes star shaped bites from dead magnolia leaves?

In other words: This meme is a surprisingly accurate scaled depiction of the magnitude of the 2026 El Niño event vs the 1997 event *if using the absolute index.* But if using the relative index, Danny DeVito is currently the same height as Arnold Schwarzenegger. And either pairing is striking... 👀

Berkeley telephone pole.

Awareness of a thought experiment is not a federal emergency.

Had a tooth pulled yesterday. No more tooth pain, but some aches from the procedure. Net positive.
