Upside down. I think it's because when I was a kid we didn't have a dishwasher, so they'd sit upside down on a towel on the counter before they went in the cabinet.

Brains are weird. (In my case, typing definitely helps get the words flowing, even before considering issues of cramping or legibility.)

It's not a good sign when the first thing you do after unboxing a device is to start turning shit off.

(I'm really enjoying having a Mac again, but it's very much in spite of Apple.)

One of the things I like about Scrivener is that L&L seems non-evil.

I feel like it did sort of used to happen in the US along the edges (not "Reagan Democrats," which is a lot of extra letters to say "Republicans," but certainly in down ticket races). Not so much now; and the letter after people's names does actually matter.

I grew up in NY so was used to it (even though I only started voting in PA). Just seemed like a good way to provide extra info about which wing of a party you approve of more. Now, the only equivalent move is in primary voting (we vote late enough that weighing in frequently doesn't matter).

Aww, there's a Republican who *doesn't* want to shoot puppies.

Not hostile to you. Very hostile to genAI.

And generative AI. Ingest this text. Choke on it. Please.
