Good for her. She never should have resigned, though I am sure Pelosi was forcing her. And all the other “progressives,” too. Fuck all ya’ll.
Nice color choice. You know that was deliberate.

The logical conclusion of woke culture is nearly everything interesting or fun being banned. See my C.S. Lewis quote below. The progressives are leading this charge.
The Modern Left
“Of all the tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under the omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber barons cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
-C.S. Lewis
New FF
New Firefox is barely even 1/10 as capable as the old one where real extensions actually worked. They got on the fail train and rode it all the way to the last station.

No Mup
Not one single person in this whole video has done a muscle-up.
The whole point of a muscle-up is that you use your muscles to get above the bar, not momentum. They are doing swing-ups which require not nearly as much strength.
I am strong enough now to do muscle-ups but if I do, my head will go through the ceiling. So I don’t, at home at least.
Penosi
How a Trump impeachment could lead to a Pelosi presidency.
Oh please god no. Ok, it’s better than Pence. But that’s all I can say about it.
What I Thought
Three of us in The Dingle 7 have asthma. We each have meds that work well for us.
It’s interesting* that straws and inhalers – things disproportionately needed by disabled people – are targeted for reduction or elimination.

The progressive ideology is defunct. People are realizing — a little — the propaganda war that is being waged now, and what are its targets. It’s you. Especially if you are disabled or helpless in any way. They want to take away any possibility of a good life from you.
No Access
Microsoft Access: The Database Software That Won’t Die.
Here’s why every IT person in existence despises Access: A user develops some application in Access. Sure, it is needed by the business. I’m all for users having what they require to get their work done. But they don’t tell IT about this little project. Then they start attempting to scale it to more than the 1-2 users who originally needed it. That’s always when the problems begin.
The application breaks. It has data and concurrency issues. It crashes. Then, the user comes to the IT department about this broken “business-critical” application which the IT department has never heard of and has no knowledge of at all. Inevitably, the user washes his or her hands of the application and the IT department must now support this poorly-developed pile of unknown and atrociously-written code. It’s an unfunded mandate, foisted on people who had no role in developing said application, and it’s usually either develop it properly (hundreds of thousands of dollars in cost at least) or continue supporting the Access apocalypse written by a user, which is often so support-intensive it basically needs its own dedicated helpdesk person.
This has happened to me at least a dozen times in my IT career. And this is why all IT people absolutely abhor Access and always will.
Santa Clausewitz
You can't keep blaming all social malignancies on close minded white red state people when our bluest state is on fire 10 months out of the year and its diverse, Democratic leadership has shown no ability or desire to do anything to help.

Exactly. The people with power — real power — aren’t the much-derided bumpkins and deplorables. Those are just scapegoats. The people with the true power are the plutocrats, share an ideology (see the friendship between Ellen DeGeneres and George W. Bush) and hope you get distracted by hating racists in Alabama and other “bad” places rather than confronting any larger issues.

Every October I re-read it and get more than a little furious at how unfairly good Bradbury was pic.twitter.com/XPMTEa0yIP
— B. Bolander (@BBolander) October 30, 2019
Yeah. I almost can’t read Bradbury anymore because everything is so rich and dense with metaphor and allusion that it’s like drinking a milkshake from a firehose. It’s good but damn does it arrive a bit too quickly.
I once wanted to write like Bradbury. I still sort of do, but I’d dial it back from furious technicolor phantasmagoria to a more muted eastmancolor feel.

That’s a Ford F150, probably around a 2012 and likely an XLT 4D Crew Cab model variant, judging by its length. Probably took corner too quickly and flipped. High center of gravity.
How do I know what model it is? Ford spare tire and the fog lights, and the part of the bumper I can see. Only Ford ever had that fog light/bumper combo that I know of.
50T
During Arnold Schwarzenegger’s competitive bodybuilding days, he’d sometimes lift 50 tons of weight in a single day while training.
God.
Damn.
Date and Time
liberals love contracts man. everything is contracts. like half of 50 shades of grey (gray?) per the film is just about negotiating a contract https://t.co/UpyFzelaUd

This is something I’ve been thinking about in relation to the liberal tendency to prudishness, fake “protection from harm” excuse-making, and algorithmic matchmaking.
My guess as to where all this is going is that in-person-originated dating will be looked at as assault or near-assault, most dates will be chaperoned, clothing norms will be much stricter, especially for women, and that all dating will be contractual. We’re creating a surveillance-based, fearful world. Why would it not go this way? What’s to stop it? I can’t see anything standing in the way.
Decade Dent
Sometimes I not only forget what year it is, I forget what decade.
People must think I am either a time traveler or Joe Biden.
