Unfortunately for veterans, they aren’t risking their lives for their country. They’re risking their lives for the special interests of corporate oligarchs who couldn’t care less about them.

What if instead of working, I spend two hours making a salty post about people not working?

I ran Fedora on my Framework when I first got it, a couple years ago, but the battery life and sleep behavior was just awful. Love Linux on desktop, hate it on a laptop. Should I revisit?

I see lots of people talking about how bad this is, but I haven’t seen anyone talk about it in light of Trump’s utter mishandling of Hurricane Maria.

It’s been 7 years but it’s absolutely salt in the wound.

Maybe if there were a story in a book about people not listening to NOAA and they were destroyed in a massive flood. Maybe, just maybe, that would help them understand.

It’s sad how much this will hurt good people who work for the Washington Post and how little this will affect Bezos.

And a $199 stand for it, sold separately.

So many options for the title:

Jiminy Cricket is a Putin plant.

America’s Collective Conscience: Misguided or Manchurian Candidate?

Ask not what your country can do for genocide, ask what genocide can do for your country.

This is so much satire that it’s a little hard to tell if it’s satire.

He needed 2 or 3 years to explore student loans. Maybe this is more complicated, so it will take infinitely longer.

Perhaps the strongest argument that it is God punishing sinful states. The old switcheroo right there.

Yeah, but the US is too big for trains too. It’s too big for planes, cars, all of it. It’s been nearly 25 years since Herbert Garrison invented the gyroscopic monowheel but just like Nikola Tesla, he’s being silenced by all these corporate fatcats and government bailouts.

Crazy to know that Cleopatra was born closer to the creation of Halo: Combat Evolved than to the Great Pyramid of Giza.

Most standups are bad because they’re not used as a quick collaboration tool, they’re used as a demonstration to prove you’re working, and then the least productive people talk the most because they’re the most desperate to prove they’re working.

Yeah, but what if someone also set a precedent that if you’re the victim of an admittedly awful terror attack, you can spend the next 20 years killing anyone you want.

I would disagree. I used to live in Rosman, NC, about an hour south of Asheville.

This is absolutely a precedented tragedy. It is run of the mill. That’s because of climate change. Because of climate change, these 100 year floods are occurring once a decade. Yes, this is the biggest in those hundred years, but there are communities who are enormously affected by this regularly.

Calling it unprecedented plays into climate deniers hands. It wasn’t normal. But it is becoming normal. It is precedented. We caused it. If it’s unprecedented, people will ignore it as an oddity, an outlier. But people living there should expect this.

Bart Starr was pretty cool. Seems like a nice guy.

That’s why I think it has to be someone who owns a bunch of publishers, like Microsoft. Like how Disney is not just Disney, but also Pixar, Marvel, ABC, ESPN, etc… It’s why people shit on Paramount+. There’s just nothing there worth watching.

Think of it more like Netflix. Netflix was great, then the market fractured and Netflix enshitified in response.

What it would take here is for a publisher to become a real distributor in the space, but competition is weak right now. Just like it really took Disney wading in to disrupt Netflix, it would take someone equally large, like Microsoft, to disrupt Steam. Sorry Ubisoft, but you don’t cut it.

I have a cool blog I made for class with lots of techy stuff. Can you check it out and tell me what you think?
