It was very hard not to laugh out loud while reading this in a conference presentation.

"The Conquest of Bread" by Kropotkin is a pretty good start. It's a classic and is brief

I graduated with a guy who didn't know that the South lost the Civil War, and how he's a city councilman, so there's a good chance that Markwayne got through school on his daddy's plumbin' business reputation and not his book smarts.

I'm sure Markwayne can't point out Iran or Iraq on a map. We're both graduates of the Oklahoma Public School system, and there's a high chance he's part of the graduating population that led us to be 50th in the nation.

My dad had a shameful compulsion. I never thought I'd grow up to share the same

When Kid Rock does the TPUSA Super Bowl show, they should put a bald cap on Ben Shapiro and have him sing the Joe C parts

Jesus, and he's a Dallas Stars fan? Just letting you all know, the cool #texashockey fans don't claim him.

And if he went to OU, he could then just appeal the grade because his religious freedoms were being trampled on before going to play some tennis.

DHS said in October that "comparing ICE day-in and day-out to the Nazi gestapo, the Secret Police, and slave patrols has consequences."

After I found one of their lawyers for ICE is a racist and a self-described fascist who has praised Hitler, there have been no consequences.

For what it's worth, Obama getting a peace prize is weird and was weird at the time. Even then, as a self-professed lib, I thought it was strange that he got one despite not doing anything that brought peace to anywhere.

But, it makes Trump mad, so I guess on some level I'm fine with it.

New update for @bsky.app about to drop?

They made him stop calling the Right "weird," and it broke him...

Anarchists are committed to treating other people as equals, rather than as either masters or subordinates.

HASSETT: We decided to exempt coffee from tariffs

BRENNAN: And coffee prices are up

HASSETT: There's an appetite to exempt things if they're really not meant to be made in the US because of, like, climate or things like that

Our defeat took its toll. The very air was melancholic. That’s when I withdrew a flageolet from my vest pocket and began playing All Star by the band Smash Mouth

Finished my first #AdventofCode in 2nd place in our office leader board. For a 25+ year dev, that may not sound like much to brag about, but it has been a while since I did any thing that dealt with these types of solutions. It was fun and got me to love slinging code again #softwaredeveloperlife

My mom had to take away the computer from Dad because he was ordering car parts from Rock Auto, which is nowhere as bad as this rambling...

I took an openGL class in college, I generated so many of these. #openGL #softwaredevelopment

I, Sir, am not your funk soul brotha, and I will check it out when and if I'm damn good and ready, tyvm.

I've completed "Cafeteria" - Day 5 - Advent of Code 2025
Probably the easiest one so far. This has also been really fun, since I haven't done this type of programming in a long time, so it's fun to stretch those muscles again.

Question 2 was a little tricky, but I was happy that I was close to the answer on my first try.

Yeah, part 2 was a real headache for me until I saw the pattern they were looking for.

TRENT REZNOR: and you could have it all, my empire of dirt

GARDENERS: oh fuck yes

This was playing and my dogs started barking. Which is odd, since they are at the kennel two counties over...
