Memories like the corners of my mind

Memories Misty watercolor memories

Of the way we were

Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind

I’ve literally been toying with the idea of implementing Raft on a Commodore 64 so I can have a clustered thingummy to manage the state of an led light to indicate build status

I need an intervention

Dollar stability goes bye bye

Brass Eye tier names (eg. Alabaster Codify, Chuck Fadanoid, David Compression, Alan Fortune-Vatch, Tasscam Holiday, Accelorata Jengold et al)

Tim Poo probably got ChatGPT to write it for him and edited the output

AHHH, YES, THE MONGOLIAN KHANATE - A TSUNAMI OF PURE, UNFILTERED DOMINANCE! NO BUREAUCRACY, NO WEAKNESS, JUST HORSEMEN, BLOOD, AND ABSOLUTE WILL! GENGHIS DIDN’T FILE PERMISSION SLIPS - HE CONQUERED! NO HR, NO FOCUS GROUPS, JUST SUBMIT OR BE ERADICATED! They drank fermented horse milk, not pumpkin spice nonsense! And now, NOW, the globalists try to ERASE this legacy because it’s TOO MANLY! WHERE IS OUR KHANATE?! I MUST RETURN TO MY YURT IMMEDIATELY - AHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!

So, no way Trump doesn’t know how tariff works and doesn’t know that the importer has to bear the cost.

I commented this on another post - my hypothesis is that he simply thinks tariffs are a form of direct taxation (eg income tax or capital gains) that is applied to a country, as that’s his lived experience of taxation. This is why he keeps on threatening “100% tariffs”, which would make sense as the ultimate form of punitive direct taxation. It also explains why he wants an “External Revenue Service”, as from his perspective - all these tariffs are going to need the tax man to harass the countries, much like the IRS does to him

I wanted the timeline with the WOPR, not this

Well, you know, they’ve got this thing now, DEI - Diversity, Equity, Inclusion - very radical, folks, very radical. And they say it’s all about fairness, about opportunity, but really it’s about control, it’s about power. And I said, wait a minute, what about Opus Dei? You know Opus Dei, very strong, very disciplined, the Catholics love them. But then they said, sir, that’s actually not related, totally different thing. And I thought, okay, okay, but then you look at these liberation theology guys - very tough guys, very serious about justice, but not in a woke way, not in a ‘let’s put pronouns in the Bible’ way, okay? And you’d think, you’d think they’d be all in on the DEI, but actually, folks, actually, they weren’t. They weren’t. Did not like Opus DEI one bit. And I said, wow, maybe they saw something, maybe they understood before anybody else, because let me tell you, you go too far with this stuff, pretty soon you don’t have liberation, you don’t have theology, you just have HR, and nobody wants that, folks, nobody.

Jeremy Corbyn’s cat, El Gato has passed away

He was less popular with much of the wider media, and was – like me – subject to intense activity of the right-wing press who wished to smear his character. He was very much of the Left, and wanted a socially just and fair society.

Indeed, at one time he brought a stray cat into his orbit, sharing his shelter and food.

As this shows, El Gato was very empathetic to the needs of a homeless cat.

CIA says lab leak most likely source of Covid outbreak

I wish I could share the slides from layoffs at my company last year. A cartoon dog explaining the stages of grief and talking about how important it was to get though it - quickly.

The combined utter incompetence and unshakeable self belief of tech executives is objectively very very funny. Nevertheless,

it’s the nuclear word

Pet theory: Trump will attempt to use it to give rationale aside from his personal grievances to wind down the FBI

Wonder if FEMA budget would be simply replaced with block grants to allow governors to spend the money on grifts
