Breakfast burrito of leftover meatloaf, green beans and carrots with added egg and cheese. Tame by @scalzi.com standards (2 out of 5 on the Scalzi Burrito Scale), but tasty nonetheless.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

When a research library closes, we lose access to materials for sure, but we also lose access to the librarians, often subject matter experts themselves. Ask any researcher in any field about how much the staff at facilities like this have helped them.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

8675309 is prime, and so is 8675311, so if you ever need a middlin'-large pair of adjacent primes to test your cryptographic suite, all you need is a 1980s earworm and a +2 and you're all set.
Man, everything is so bleak, anyone got a fun fact or little bit of trivia they want to share

Don't feel like doing a repost that puts the murder video on the timeline yet again but do feel like repeating the point that the president just straight-up assassinated 11 people for supposedly doing something that wouldn't be a death-penalty crime if they were caught and convicted

Broken record territory rapidly approaching, but once again: Homelessness is not a societal inevitability. It's a policy failure.
This is a solvable issue with a known solution, even under capitalism, because that solution is less expensive than the current responses.
We just don't want to do it.

🤔A lot of transphobes that kept it under wraps are just completely crashing out over Gavin Newsom.
If one individual trans person says, "I will never vote for Gavin Newsom." and that makes you go "I HATE YOUR WHOLE COMMUNITY! ALL OF YOU!" Then this had nothing to do with Gavin Newsom.
Be for real.

Trump's argument for the elimination of the estate tax is that the heirs of the super rich will no longer have to go beg a predatory Jewish banker for a bridge loan to overcome cash flow problems associated with the $15 million dollar estate they're about to get.

the Senate's small-state ultra-bias is never more maddening than when one senator uses it to get benefits for her 740,000 constituents while openly acknowledging the bill she's supporting will harm the nation's 339 million other residents.
