obligatory link to the oral history of this glorious moment, the man is truly a living legend

A flatscreen display on a "smart" water fountain, demanding to be reconnected to the internet.

In 1999, I was playing a decker in Shadowrun, and tried to distract a guard by hacking a water fountain to overflow, and my GM said "why would a water fountain be on the network? That's fucking stupid. No you can't try."

Well it's 2026 and I just want you to know, Phil, that I FUCKING CALLED IT!

And Rich Mogull!

I would go with this, and this is who I'd get to narrate the audiobook.

Someone did *not* skip leg day.

i know, i know, but it's honestly pretty amazing that (so far as i can tell) not a single Republican elected official, at any level, has publicly broken with Trump over his threat to annihilate the people of Iran at 8pm today

At long last, will *a very small number* of those GOP representatives have, if not a sense of decency, a sense of self-preservation? It won't take many of them.

Donald Trump threatening the destruction of an entire civilization is madness.

He is completely unfit to serve as President of the United States.

Invoke the 25th Amendment. Or Republicans must stand up with us to impeach him. We cannot allow him to set fire to the world.

Impeachment is not some special exception from normal politics where you shouldn't say it unless you already have the votes in hand. You go out and plainly advocate what you think should be done, and attack those who refuse to do it, just like on anything else.

Dear congresspeople: The standard you walk past is the standard you endorse. It is your job to create the political space to do the hard but necessary thing, and to persuade your colleagues and the public.

If this is real. If his thumbs actually typed what is below...

Citizens. Senators. Cabinet. The President of the United States is out of control. He is beyond reason or amelioration. We might really, really, really, I'm trying not to shout or capitalize here, really want to address this.

what next? what, are we gonna provide *roads* for the wealthy too? gonna have health inspectors keep contaminants out of their groceries? are we just gonna have gutters and sewer systems around rich people's homes?

OK for fun: top funniest tweet ever? I am torn between "moon's haunted" and "Denise I was at your wedding."

Happy trans day of visibility, here is a wrasse design I made awhile ago because all wrasses change sexes as they age.

Nutrition facts from bag of lentils, with "About 13 servings per container. Serving size: 1/4 cup dry (35g)" circled

Cooking directions from the same bag of lentils, with "for each pound of lentils (about 2 cups)" highlighted.

The same bag of lentils, clearly labeled as a 1 pound (16 oz, 454 grams) bag.

Every time I make lentils this bugs the crap out of me. How many cups of lentils are in this bag?

If you believe that there are about 13 servings per bag, and each serving is 1/4 cup: About 3.25

But if you believe the cooking directions: About 2!

See, people get involved in local politics for 5 basic reasons: ego, they're immensely pissed off about something (can be complimentary or derogatory), they are looking to grift, they want to start a political career, or they are legitimately interested in policy and governance (weirdos, minority).

"Last week, a man called me an 'entitled jackass.' I smiled. In that moment, I became his mirror, reflecting the parts of himself he hasn’t yet forgiven. His horn was his confession. My lane change was his redemption arc."

Alternatively, live your life so that everyone, everywhere hates you. You can never be tried for any crime! You can literally get away with murder! (This is not legal advice.)

A large, fluffy, gray and tan stripey cat sits in the top of a cat tower, his head resting on the parapet wall. He has massive paws with a truly alarming number of toes; a front paw dangles insouciantly off the tower's edge. He gazes listlessly towards the side of the photographer.

Speaker Laurie Jinkins said here that incrementalism is all they can do, voters would reject anything else.

But what if voters reject *that*? They did in Seattle last year. They've now consistently voted to tax the rich. Voters might now see #waleg incrementalism as the problem, not the solution.

I do think that's a fruitful direction, but it's not a silver bullet. Humans aren't reliably good at *precisely* expressing intent in a way that can be robustly interpreted by non-human intelligences. There's a good whitepaper on this topic: www.imdb.com/title/tt0103...
