@rpsagainsttrump.bsky.social

One of my best friends is from a sleepy, wealthy small town in the south-west of Germany. He said, so many of my parents’ neighbours are rich and bored, with little to complain about, and they’ve radicalised themselves at dinner parties and online. In their aimlessness, they’ve bonded over hate.

Chief among those groups, naturally, are the people who are planning to buy a home but do not yet have one; and, since higher home prices are very highly correlated with higher rents, renters too are alarmed that the rent is too damn high!

Absolutely hilarious. The American Liz Truss performing brain surgery with a fork. If he really implements 25% across the board, this level of FAFO is going to go in the history books.

What does it mean for something to be Turing complete? I answer this question, and more, through a series of fully interactive Turing machine simulations! Play, pause, step forwards and backwards, and even write your own Turing machine programs in my latest blog post. samwho.dev/turing-machi...
