People who are good at typing on iPhones how do you do it? I can summarize my problems like so:

If autocorrect is off, shit is constantly wrong

If it is on, PDF gets turned into off

Spotify is running ICE ads. I went to cancel on mobile and saw that this isn’t allowed on mobile. They make you cancel on desktop. You think that’s gonna stop me, Spotify? I will erase you and forget you ever existed.

THOU SHALT CANCEL SPOTIFY!!!

For nine months, there has rarely been a day when I was proud to be an American.

Today changed everything. Participating and witnessing the courage and determination of millions of America-loving patriots is the hope we needed to persevere and survive the chaos and cruelty of fascism.

Which is to say that while the difference between world records or average times in a bike race are enormous between genders, it is also the case that there exist 9 year old girls who can outride quite a few grown men on similar training.

The difference in physical capabilities between men and women *on average* are enormous, and you can see that clearly in race results at any level, from amateur to world champions. BUT, the bell curves for those capabilities are also enormous, which makes for a pretty interesting world.

Prosecuting enemies.

Releasing allies.

Profiting off of the Oval Office.

Extrajudicial killings.

Illegal acts.

Ignoring the Constitution.

Detaining Americans without cause.

Sending the military into American cities.

Whoever came up with the slogan #NoKings was a f*cking prophet.

Fight back!

When Pam Bondi was appointed, Democracy Docket immediately called her out while legacy news outlets like the Washington Post wanted to seem "fair" and gave her a thumbs up.

Another bit of good news -- clean energy stocks are significantly outperforming the S&P500, and outperforming oil stocks by even more

it used to be fun to see the progress in fidelity, now the AAA studios are deep into diminishing returns. Art style and direction has more impact that polygon or pixel counts or ray tracing features.

On the other hand fun to see that geometry can be more flexible, fewer loading screens etc.

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative
