The heartbreak is such that today I feel like I want to give up on the entire concept of caring for others as a futile pursuit. Humanity’s darkest impulses are going to be off-leash here, and elsewhere, for at least four years, the chances of avoiding rapid catastrophic climate change have gone from maybe 20% to 0%, and it feels like nothing matters.

Trying to focus on caring just for myself and my family, but the flame has seemingly gone out.

Super cool idea — but they have a repeated crashing bug to fix on mobile Safari.

I’ve never noticed until now that Ernie Hudson looks like he was trying not to crack up in the background.

I would have agreed a few months ago, but tell that to Joe Biden.

TIL!

This is one of the most brilliant things I’ve ever read.

I so badly want a source for this.

Well I was going to try Hyprland this weekend, but I think instead I will very much not do that.

I hope someone forks it from a good commit just before they replaced wlroots. I don’t know the specifics of compositor code at all, but I bet It’s going to cost them quite a bit of velocity to maintain their replacement.

I’m not so sure. I think it’s established that the percentage of Republicans who won’t vote for Trump is a lot higher than the percentage that will admit to it in front of their peers.

All we need is a few %, low single digits.

This is the correct answer. They need to remove the cap before doing anything else.

I have taught my children epistemology for this reason. It is THE key skill in the disinformation age.

I like it much better when Republicans stick to pushing for things that are just useless rather than destructive.

Came here to find a Mitch Hedberg reference; was not disappointed

They just had to make it look like a Geth.

Wait, wait — let me guess. They’ll say it affects non-citizens, but it will actually create tedious barriers to voting that affect mostly the American urban working class.

Plot twist: he’ll figure it out by getting the kids to talk without them even realizing they’re being interrogated.

Implied by this: centrists see all this mainly as a financial matter.

Yeah, we got a Daikin setup installed by MSP, who work in the Twin Cities metro.

We got a new heat pump installed in our 1920s house in Minnesota a couple years ago. It works its ass off all year, and only needs help from the boiler in the deepest depths of winter, which it probably wouldn’t if the house were better insulated. It’s always cheaper for us than gas, and it feels great to have our climate control 80-90% decarbonized.

I’m increasingly convinced that her strategy is to a) bet that Trump is going to jail, and b) stay active in the primary as long as she can so she’s the indisputable backup nominee when that happens.
