Or perhaps other reasons…

Happy to see this one odd breaching containment.

Bonus for Roman in the back seat being adorable while clutching his copy of Lee Iacocca’s biography.

I feel like there’s cold logic going on behind everyone who punches a ticket to ride Trump’s crazy train.

If you ever get thrown off, you can always write a book and do time in the pundit circuit either agreeing with him and saying they did their best, or go the MTG route and claim to be an enemy, promising all kinds of dirty laundry (that you may or may not have) to outlets that pony up for you to do interviews and stay in the limelight.

And if the worst comes to pass and you manage to hang on as authoritarianism takes hold, you have a cozy seat for it all as the death cult rides into Valhalla.

Showbusiness politics.

This is one of the sickest synthesizers of the 1990s g-funk era. It produced the high-pitched portamento sound that provided iconic hooks for many of the tracks on Dr Dre’s 1993 album The Chronic.

Same in Washington and pretty much every vote by mail state.

Remember: Even piracy doesn’t offer absolution.

These properties rely on popular / universal awareness to achieve network effects and cement themselves within modern culture. When this happens, the memes and concepts from the property worm their way into everyday language (“he who cannot be named”, “10 points for Gryffindor”, etc) and help keep everyone else buying.

The only answer is to treat people talking about Harry Potter as you would someone who keeps talking about the greatness of R Kelly’s music or Bill Cosby’s comedy.

Worst sorting algorithm ever.

On rare occasions I’ll get a “ma’am” from strangers, and I’ve got one friend who will give me an occasional “darling”. But aside from that, nothing but my regular name.

And the only time I’ve gotten “ladies”, it was the waiter addressing me and my masc/NB partner during an anniversary date. That wasn’t fun for anyone.

Geeking out over the origins of HTTP 418 kinda got me a job once. But that was back when that kind of stuff, connecting interpersonally with the humans that you work with, mattered during hiring.

Dang. I’d always used programming.dev as a verification instance to ensure my posts were migrating across the fed. It’s a shame to lose them as a resource.

Well ok then. No regrets here.
