Let's see: I've lived in 9 US states (Mass, NY, Pennsylvania, Washington DC, Virginia, Maryland, California, Arizona, Vermont) and England, Belgium, France, Israel, and Japan.
I used to be a news photographer in Washington DC during the Clinton years. I've worked for Congressional Quarterly, UPI, Scripps Howard News Service.
Now I live again in Paris.

Finding anything useful on the web via google has become such a disaster. Just a sea of SEO-driven garbage. I was looking for some Python help yesterday and just could not get through the wall of robot-written SEO chum. It’s such a shame—I know that so many people are writing things that are genuinely useful and completely unfindable.

Here's a guide to all of the ostentatious and offensive pomp on display for today's ceremony:

It slides from their thick, clutching, fingers like a filthy ooze.
I really, really, despise the royal family.
@lokigwyn@piaille.fr Salut! ☕️🥐
@trinsec Yeah. Richard Dawkins took him to task for it back in 2000. https://www.edge.org/3rd_culture/prince/prince_index.html
He's basically a woolly-headed idiot.
This is definitely worth a read:

This actually was quite enlightening and interesting - especially to someone like me who grew up in NYC as a kid.

I keep thinking about the fact that a white man on my subway line was so threatened by a Black man being weird in public that he killed him, in front of a crowd, and no one did anything.
Black Lives Matter.

So, the anti-science idiot prince will be crowned king today.
What a terrible system.

@trinsec This is true. 😀
@trinsec I wouldn't know but I've read that Safari and Chromium have some similarities but are different overall.

Russia's economy is facing a record workforce shortage, per BI.
@trinsec Haha. Well there was a picture of all the other browsers and then firefox and then, another picture which replaced all of the other browsers with Chromium and then Firefox alone. But Safari wasn't listed. And Safari isn't really based on Chromium, it's based on WebKit. So, it too, isn't really part of the Chrome family.
At least I don't think that it is.
@trinsec Ah, I think I mis-tooted you. I sincerely apologise.
