Burned out owner of a fully depreciated Ph.D. in computer science. Born in the US, still there, not proud of it. January 20, 2025 was our catastrophe.

@slashdottir@mastodon.online one of the biggest blockers I have on building a perfect society is that I need perfect people to go in it. Otherwise they start complaining and protesting that they aren't allowed to vandalize the place.

@slashdottir@mastodon.online I'm often tempted, but then I remember that nobody reads anything.
The clowns who are in power now are there precisely because they didn't read anything, particularly the law or the constitution. None of it makes any difference.

How do people go to med school and then become anti-vaxxers? It should be impossible. It makes no sense. Medicine is over here. Anti-vaxxing is over there. Between them is a wide chasm that no motorcycle can jump over.

On the proper use of the COME FROM statement
Suppose that some narcissistic asshole has started the following infinite loop:
1 Commit atrocity
2 Destroy something
3 All eyes on me
4 Go to 1
You fix it with a COME FROM statement:
5 Come from 1
6 Impeach
7 Convict
8 Remove from office
9 Transfer to ICC
The necessary steps 6–9 are unreachable without COME FROM.

They don't even let you choose between norovirus and hantavirus when you book a cruise. What a scam.
Also, Google's autocomplete just now suggested "boobies" as a completion of "norov" and I have questions and concerns.

Okay so, like, we invent a space backhoe, right? And we launch that into orbit, and that'll be our space weapon. We can knock out everybody's phone and internet and Starlink and whatever with the backhoe!

Germany had enough evidence to ban the AfD but did not. The US had enough evidence to put Trump in prison but did not. France could have made MLP ineligible for office but did not.

US healthcare is now decided by a gang of fascists. The distance from hospitals capitulating on trans health and doctors refusing to vaccinate children anymore is extremely short.

OMG I have just witnessed the hilarity of auto generated subtitles in an English stream when the language switches to Spanish and the robot doesn't grasp what has happened. Holy hell. It wants *so bad* for there to be an English word, it'll take anything that sort of fits.

Black Tot Day. Quoth Wikipedia:
31 July 1970 was the final day of the rum ration and it was poured as usual at 6 bells in the forenoon watch (11am) after the pipe of "up spirits". Some sailors wore black armbands, tots and rum tubs were "buried at sea" and, in one navy training camp, HMS Collingwood, the Royal Naval Electrical College at Fareham in Hampshire, there was a mock funeral procession complete with black coffin and accompanying drummers and piper.

The far right loves these images of huge swarms of migrants. They'll never stop rerunning them. But there's still no word on what caused this surge because there are only a few thousand people that the reporters could just ask if they were there.

Commentary on F24 last night observed that Trump is indeed the biggest threat to the security of every country, but EU members have learned that there is nothing to be gained by reacting or responding to his verbal threats. That no one listens to his blather anymore is small progress but progress nonetheless.

Get a load of this. The orange clown is blaming Ukraine for the diesel shortage while the US is literally sinking oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz.
All those Republicans who have been posturing as the safe and reliable national security party for decades are saluting this stupid asshole Russian asset and going along with it.

Local American newsreader just breezily referred to the king of the UK as "Diana's ex-husband" and nothing more.
A tiny flickering match of national pride rekindled in my heart. As long as we casually disrespect monarchy there is hope.
