"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." https://fair.org/home/cultural-marxism-the-mainstreaming-of-a-nazi-trope/

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.

Remember how we used to open our windows to clap at 7pm and said things like “we’re all in this together” and felt genuinely connected in our fear and isolation, and now everyone’s like “fuck your chronic health condition I’m bored wearing a mask in Krogers.”

Parents, please talk to your kids, especially the boys, about internet algorithms, and trolls like Andrew Tate, Peterson and Shapiro. And not once. Talk to them on a daily basis. Don't dismiss the harm these videos can do to them. Tell them they can come to you with any questions about what they 'learn' online. https://mstdn.social/@renwillis/109818326042254385

"Alright, places ladies, places. Annemarie, Suzanne, you two are in the first number. Suzanne, how about you try not to fall on your face this time? Lorraine, go see Todd in makeup, you look like a clown. And Nancy, for chrissakes, put on some underwear."

Most days I release a new image and post a link. If you follow it you're taken to that image page. To the right is a menu, links to all the different ways it can be purchased. Art Prints being the most common, under Wall Art.

If you hover the cursor over the image and click you can see how the image will look at it's LARGEST size (usually between 48" and 72") hence it never looks quite as clear.

All orders are shipped in 4 days with a 30 day money back guarantee.

You've got to re-evaluate your priorities if, upon hearing a Trump aide had a photo of a folder marked classified on their laptop, you're more interested in whether it was a Mac or a PC and whether the shot was taken with a Google Pixel or an iPhone than WTF IS SOMEBODY TAKING PHOTOS OF CLASSIFIED SHIT AND PUTTING IT ON THEIR LAPTOP???
