The US and Canada go to Daylight Savings Time tomorrow morning.
That infamous wall that had cleaved this nation into two came down, and with it an evil empire, and the East and West became one again. But the euphoria of this triumph led us to a dangerous delusion: that we had entered, quote, "the end of history;" that every nation would now be a liberal democracy; that the ties formed by trade and by commerce alone would now e replace nationhood; that the rules-based global order - an overused term - would now replace the national interest; and that we would now live in a world without borders where everyone became a citizen of the world. This was a foolish idea that ignored both human nature and it ignored the lessons of over 5,000 years of recorded human history. And it has cost us dearly. In this
the world were born. It was here in Europe where the world - which gave the world the rule of law, the universities, and the scientific revolution. It was this continent that produced the genius of Mozart and Beethoven, of Dante and Shakespeare, of Michelangelo and Da Vinci, of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. And this is the place where the vaulted ceilings of the Sistine Chapel and the towering spires of the great cathedral in Cologne, they testify not just to the greatness of our past or to a faith in God that inspired these marvels.

Reading Marco Rubio’s speech about how “western civilization” is about embracing God, rejecting the foolish ideal of cosmopolitanism, and celebrating the genius of bands like The Beatles who were founded by the guy who wrote that song about a world with no countries or the concept of heaven & hell.
I am enjoying Starfleet Academy for:
4) over the top angsty teen drama
3) futuristic take on Prarie Style decor
2) just, relentless optimism about people and possiblites
1) Holly Hunter's complete, absolute inability to sit in a chair like a normal person
you know this guy is a FOR REAL photographer because he's telling the story of his brutal, unconditional arrest by federal goons and can't help but slip in a gear review
Whenever D'Arcy Carden is in anything, I can't help but note if she is a Good Janet or a Bad Janet. (In _Loot_, she is definitely a Bad Janet.)
Here is a thing I like a about the English language (not just in specific but by example):
"The Beeping": uh ok
"The Beepening": oh no
@publicrecdsource.bsky.social is that "criminal occupation" IWW, as in Industrial Workers of the World?
Also, when she contested, they sent my wife the full list of the poor woman's run-ins with the law, credit history dings, phone number, current and former addresses, the works.
US needs a GDPR.
AirBnB deleted my wife's account because there is a woman in Florida with the same name and birthday but also a meth problem and parole violations.
This just solidifies my cardinal rule of European travel — never fly via Charles de Gaulle.

Give or take a few billion.
I am not making this up.
Approximately the same number of human beings were born before 1 CE as those born after.
If I have not seen further, it is because giants have been standing on my shoulders.
If Yankee Candle made a candle that smells like the Indian restaurant I just walked past, I would buy that candle.
I would buy the hell out of that candle.
US President back-pedalling furiously after his administration treated some innocent hard-working Koreans like they were innocent hard-working Latinos.
House spiders are pretty good, but I think we should genetically engineer house dragonflies.
It's definitely @nullr0ute.bsky.social -level stuff :)
Things I have accidentally invented because I don't have a proper CS education:
1. long format data tables
2. k-fold validation
3. simulated annealing
To be clear, this is not bragging. Turns out, learning things from others is good, actually. (Notes for 20-year-old-self.)
Wait, you gave cash to the police without counting it first?
The absolute best intervention for poverty: just give people money and stop hand-wringing about what people might spend it on.

Me: You know, this anniversary is a significant milestone!
Her: What, because it's a cubic number? *rolls eyes"
And that's why we've been married for 27 years.
Anya comes home from her restaurant shift.
"Dad — go dish out ice cream. Mom — queue up the video. I'm going to go change into my PJs."

"Now imagine I said that but less bossy."
I like a lot of these candidates, so... it might come down to extra points for those who say "Somervuhl" and "Somervillan" properly.

People have trouble interpreting this. Nobody’s saying Donald Trump or Pam Bondi are personally selecting Nazi iconography. They don’t read enough for that. The point is they hire and promote Nazis who ARE steeped in Nazi iconography, and they’re fine with it.
Oh, I'm a sysadmin, not a computer scientist. Trust me: it _will_ halt.
Recovering from a death spiral swap situation is the part that surprised me.
Undelivered letters
Mediocre art
Magic rings of questionable utility
Tokens that summon various woodland creatures
Socks (the missing ones of pairs)
