Decided to begin work on a passion project, a text editor for coders that struggle with colorblindness, dyslexia, and dyscalculia.
Working through a few options for improvements as I move along toward integration of programming languages which may be a bit challenging. This thing will be great

Kamala Harris: "Here in Chicago I'm told the helicopters that were descending on an American city were Black Hawks. Do you know what Black Hawks were designed to do? War. So I think everyone can draw their conclusions just based on the facts."

This is madness.

Trump says he'll send troops to Portland and sanction “full force” against Americans

That would be illegal, except perhaps in moments of serious unrest—which this is not.

Taking advantage of a virus' ability to deliver genetic material and using the cell's own ribosomes to produce new polymers that can help reduce the synthesis of toxic proteins facilitated by the inherited mutant gene, like that's so amazing!!

Just what are you doing if you're not excited about this?
But the cost? And getting approval in the US? That's gonna be interesting in year 2025 and beyond.

Most of the people that are boycotting Disney don't really know or care that the Studio used to produce N*zi propaganda films for Hitler. But have no compunction about spending thousands of dollars to go to those trashy theme parks.

More evidence that Bondi is still taking bribes to stop investigations

Angry @angrystaffer.bsky.social · 29d

Wow.

Not at all surprising, but wow.

Blatant corruption is perfectly fine (encouraged, even) in this administration.

Thank you, Representative Robert Garcia! As the ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, he announced plans to open an investigation into both the Trump administration and ABC following the network’s decision (under FCC pressure) to suspend Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show indefinitely.

In an interview on Fox & Friends, Trump was asked how to “fix this country” and “come back together.” His response included:

“I tell you something that is going to get me in trouble, but I couldn’t care less. The radicals on the right are radical because they don’t want to see crime …

that's absolutely untrue. This dude is the same age as my mother, and no schools were not encouraging kids to bring guns to school. This absolute cabbage

FactPost @factpostnews.bsky.social · Sep 9

RFK Jr: We had lots of guns when we were kids. Kids brought guns to school and were encouraged to do so. And nobody was walking into schools and shooting people. There are many things that could explain this. One is the dependence on psychiatric drugs.

Who in the f*ck is shipping clothes? No one does that

John Scalzi @scalzi.com · Sep 8

I'm not going to fucking ship clothes home, what sort of bullshit type-a madness is this

Faine Greenwood @faineg.bsky.social · Sep 8

Personally, I'd rather just check a large bag for a long trip, than have to deal with randomly shipping stuff home and buying entirely new things at unpredictable intervals
