docutils documentation [ - ] 

I like that docutils will produce a complete html file from reStructuredText input.

I like that the default html template can be overridden or extended & that basic examples are given.

But who thought it a good idea to a) not *document* the template format(s), & b) use a default template that doesn't even match the basic examples' formatting language?

US pol 

Ok, so radicals are right in most or all of their critiques of voting. But! Imagine the US is a fossil-fuel car. We really need to replace it with a train running on sustainable energy. Voting for a new driver won't do any of that.
However! That car is currently speeding down a steep hill towards a bunch of school kids who are all holding puppies and kittens while meeting Tony the Tiger. The driver is hitting the gas.
Changing the driver actually is a really good thing to do right now.

What WaPo wrote: "'I was wrong' to back Trump, Caitlyn Jenner writes for The Post. 'He has ignored our humanity' and used transgender people as pawns."

What I read: "Woman who endorsed, backed, & voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party cries, 'I never thought they would eat *our* faces!'"

RT @DeoTasDevil@twitter.com: So someone mailed bombs to George Soros, the Obama family, the Clintons, and a CNN offices in NYC (addressed to former CIA Director John Brennan, an MSNBC contributor).

Wanna tell me again that we should fear "the violent Left" and ignore the abundant right wing violence?
