Crystal knuckle dusters for when a racist needs their chakras realigned

I’ve had β€œTake Grand Central Sunrise Photos” on my calendar for today for about 4 months. I chose today based on researching where the sun would line up and how high it would get at a specific time.

Today that planning ahead really paid off. These are straight out of my camera. I have about 600 more to go through. Can’t wait to get home and edit.

Similar to the US Republican who says underemployed young people with massive college loan debt just need to stop buying expensive coffees in the morning, and they'll be fine.

A lot has been made of mastodon’s β€œanti-viral” design choices, and there certainly are some, but any system that has global notifications and boosting can still create viral posts that travel far outside your usual community.

You act like you've never seen a woman smoke a hookah while wearing a squirrel stapled to her forehead.

Some people haven’t yet figured out that Mastodon only needs to be big enough to support a community, not big enough to support a VC-funded rocket ride to an IPO.

Very very different success criteria

"But he wanted to make sure someone else took responsibility. Because …"

Because, in the words of the great philosopher Chrissy Teigen, DeSantis is a "pussy ass bitch".

β€œIn my thinking, it was a little hypocritical …”

DeSantis wanted guns banned from his victory party, because … you know. Letting everyone carry guns around is unsafe.

But he wanted to make sure someone else took responsibility. Because …

"Aye, the sirens," says the lighthouse keeper, picking a bit of tobacco from his beard. "Some nights, when the wind is just so, I swear I can hear 'em singing." "What do they sing?" I prod him. A faraway look in his eyes, he says in a voice barely above a whisper, "Tubthumping."

The rhetorical framework of the "anti-wokeness" (or anti-Cultural Marxism, if you're a pretentious right winger) campaign in which there is a supposed evil enemy other who is secretly trying to indoctrinate your children to turn them into anti-American atheist socialists is nearly identical to the old fascist discourse about "Judeo-Bolshevism." fair.org/home/cultural-marxism

Processor flags indicate if values are zero, negative, overflowed, and so forth. Flags are critical for loops and conditional statements. But how are they implemented? I took a close look at the silicon of the Intel 8086 processor (1978) to find out.
