Study of the top 5 newspapers found "144 articles focused on either or both Biden’s and Trump’s ages or mental acuities in the period studied, with 67% focused just on Biden’s age or mental acuity and only 7% on just Trump’s."
It's clear bias, but we haven't been beating that drum for generations.

This is an awesome (kind of over-produced, but 🤷♂️ ) #aviation #avgeek #Connie #Sunnfun video. #CRM is good, twice the captan/PF uses his authority to over-ride the cockpit voices - as he should. One quibble - they never explain what the issue was. But I say again, an awesome video about a truly awesome aircraft! Enjoy
Excellent. Punted on standing, but still a win for #freespeech.

I don't think I'll ever understand why a "pull request" in git is not called a "push request". I'm not requesting to pull anything. I'm requesting to push my changes to the main branch.
In my opinion, the fact that we can accidentally bite our own mouths is proof that neither evolution nor intelligent design are real.

I gotta say, I was locked-in to Visual Studio before, but JetBrains Rider just keeps surprising me in good ways.
Celebrity culture was always arbitrary, but the fact that people can become famous and wealthy now just for being a fan of the work of someone else entirely is eminently depressing to me.

"If a protest doesn’t ultimately yield greater support for its corresponding cause, it is not successful, and we are doing ourselves no favors when our protests for righteous causes center ego over outreach, clicks and views over results, and self over service."

When I was growing up, I heard the refrain "doesn't matter who you vote for, just matters that you vote" over and over. And I believed in it.
This year, though, if your vote would be for the guy who says he wants to be dictator, then maybe sit this one out.
Note to self: Before testing gamepad controls in your game, remember to turn the gamepad on.
When I was a kid, I always thought Buzz Aldrin's story was more interesting than Armstrong's. He was a real life hero, an inspiration.
It's too bad he turned into such an asshole later in life and ruined his good legacy.

I truly don't understand why Democrats aren't hammering that last point every single day.

I would really love to, some day, make an epic video game that draws from the cool parts of Catholic lore (think Dante's Inferno and celestial wars) and where the ultimate twist is (spoiler alert for a game that will probably never get made...) that the "Satan" of this world is the original God, cast down to Hell and driven insane when Lucifer led his successful rebellion and assumed the throne of God for himself.

people have been asking us for printed posters FOREVER but I've always been unsatisfied with just printing out the existing PDFs of our posters -- they didn't feel quite polished enough to me.
So I collaborated with the incredible Tanya at Inner Loop Press (check out their website! it's so good! https://www.innerloop.press/) to make this delightful risograph printed Debugging Manifesto poster.
they're not available just yet but they'll be on the store soon!

Believing in UBI being inevitable in a country that won't even give kids free school lunches is like believing in the Tooth Fairy.
