Putting on my hacker hoodie to View Source.
Surprised this didn’t happen years ago. And equally surprised that it wasn’t Mozilla who did this first to Firefox, the “most customizable browser EVAR!!!!”
I’m bitter about it all because I am old enough to know what the internet could have been, because I was there when it was otherwise. And I remember the culture of BBSes, too, which is a whole other thing.
I really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really hate Standard time.
Less than I used to, admittedly. But still, now it gets dark too early to eat on the lanai, when the weather is perfect. Just a total waste.
U.S. consumer prices soared 6.2% in past year, most since 1990.
Ah, yes, that transitory inflation. Perhaps they are talking about on geological time scales? In a few million years, that inflation should be tamed. Just give it till the next epoch.
Also, learn to forage, because a hamburger is going to cost $9,000,000,000 soon.
I don’t know the amount of vaccinations we need to have it end here, but we’re not there.
Russia has 1/3 of the country vaccinated. And it’s not pretty.
Denmark has 70% and it’s not enough. 3/ pic.twitter.com/zDwmGs47fM

Cool, now do the seven-day moving average for deaths from the Dec-Jan time period in Denmark. Oops, turns out it was 800% higher as compared to now.
Kinda destroys that whole narrative. The vaccines are working. The point of them was never to eliminate the virus. Smart people knew that was impossible since nearly the beginning. They were to keep your ass from dying.
But it’s all about hysterics since the lockdown lifers are desperately, desperately wanting us to go back to that in perpetuity now. And we should resist, hard, that whole ethos.
Why the coronavirus is unlikely to mutate into something deadlier.
Or more transmissible. It’s about at its limits thermally and evolutionarily now, unless that Wuhan lab gets some ideas and starts fucking around with it again.
The media regurgitated verbatim every hoax and myth made up by anti-sex fanatics and acted like they were legit news stories for the past decade.
This is the result. https://t.co/UMSD5fjL0D

And the prude-libs ate that shit up. They loved it. They lived for it. White liberal women think they are on the verge of being trafficked every 10 minutes, and it gives them great pride.
It’s been interesting to watch people get more prudish over time, claim they are not, and then have them make statements like, “I’m not prudish, I just think a bare shoulder is so naughty and uncalled for!”
They’ll have women in burqas soon enough, I guess, but will call them “anti-pandemic feminist NPIs” or some such.
If not for Elon Musk, China would be utterly eating our lunch when it came to space stuff. https://t.co/xoZYxe2ZDA

It is true. I think Musk is kind of a putz, but he’s a putz who gets shit done. So who fucking cares? (No, I don’t think anyone should be as rich as he is.)
1. I think we’re on the verge of a revolution in travel

I agree, though it won’t be as large a trend as he thinks. But it will make the anti-fun anti-travel libs go nuts (most of them, these days), and I will enjoy that too.
Why only available in 480p? Anyway, still worth watching. It shouldn’t really work in this format but her performance is so intimate it still does.
I like this better than her other performance with KORK because it’s just her — no backup singer. Also, I like the Norwegian at the beginning. You can hear how her name is really pronounced (it has one very hard phoneme for most non-Norwegian people to even hear, much less say).
It’s too bad things aren’t allowed to be in color now https://t.co/iiLMM5HfPu

Watch Last Night in Soho. You’ll getcha some color:
I don’t think that middle shot of ATJ is actually in the film. I suspect it appeared in the trailer only, but it nevertheless gives you an idea of the color palette of the film.
I hate Standard time. Why y’all want it to get dark at 4PM? Just why?
I want to buy the Mona Lisa, replace it with a picture of Jar Jar Binks and call it the Lona Misa. Then I will sell an NFT of that to make it even stupider.
You're responsible for 700k deaths if you (a vaccinated person) removed your mask for a minute/want your kindergartener to return to the classroom after a year of zoom school or something!
BTW, come join our team, we're caring and reasonable people!!!

Sung to the Green Acres theme song:
Under the bed crying is the place to be
Lockdown life is the life for me
Grammas dying on every side
‘Cuz you wouldn’t wear a mask outside
Cowering inside is where I’d rather stay
I panic when I cross the entranceway
I just adore a blank wall view
Dah-ling I love atrophied muscle tissue
The ACA (Obamacare) Has Performed As Predicted.
Dead on. I said at the time it was an insurance company handout, because it was obvious to anyone who wasn’t a Kevin Drum type. No one could admit that at the time because Obama was officialy an Exalted Saint of Heroic Triumph so no criticism was possible.
And look where it got us.
