Robert Reich Out Of Here Please don't say that inflation is at a 40-year high without pointing out that it's lower in the US than in most other countries. That means President Biden is doing a better job than most world leaders. Anyone expecting Republicans to do better hasn't been paying attention.

I have yet to post anything over at cohost, but at the moment that seems like it's most likely to be the direction I'll jump when the fumes from this dumpster fire get too strong: cohost.org/gregtitus

Slowly growing my collection of memes about how much DST sucks for date-related programming…

My (Native American) grandmother called me 'little muskrat' when I was small, and we lost her too young, and I dunno, it surprises me how much the new twitter owner jokes in that direction bother me, that's all.

This. He somehow seems unaware of or unwilling to care about suddenly becoming the most high-value target for spreading misinformation in the entire world.

Also, engineers, you really should work on that self-control and try to go to sleep at a reasonable hour and then you can get back to the exciting thing in the morning. You'll be mentally sharper and it'll be even better, promise.

“We knew for some time they were going to be doing that,” POTUS says when asked about Russia’s claims it is withdrawing from Kherson. Says w/ a smile that it is interesting that they waited to do so until after the election.

Today is Hollie is no longer here - I'm on Mastodon and my 27th anniversary! We went from our families saying "maybe you should wait awhile to have kids", through "when are you going to get around to having kids?!?" to now, where this is going to be the last year we'll actually have the kids in the house.

Elizabeth Sandifer These idiots sincerely believed that Twitter was being run by SJW commies, and not by centrist businessmen working hard to try to make money from an intrinsically difficult business. This is them being huge dumbasses, who use their considerable IQs to be 10x dumbasses.

Elon at Twitter this week

I was gold #1 several seasons in StarCraft 2 but never quite made plat before my wife put her foot down - playing was exacerbating my high blood pressure. Now my hands are too slow, but that totally counts. So I only barely miss this because I got an m1 Air instead of a Pro...

men are literally clicking the “yes” link instead of going to therapy

Oh, so he's just going to find the 80x engineers. That's surely going to work!

This reminds me of one of my favorite college classes, on assembly. It used a lab of Apple ii's with 68000 cards (so we were doing 68k asm, not 6502 - I know, cheating, right?). The class was learning how to interface with a mouse/kb/screen and build your own windowing system.

Immediately go looking for the "cleverest", most obscure one-liner that you somehow slipped by code review...
