@gregeganSF Well shoot, *that's* what I've been doing wrong.

@rubenbolling drunk Orson Welles is still peculiarly majestic.

@davidallengreen Surely they have to build a dome first, in which they show a brand new sequel to the M. Hulot films on continuous repeat.

@EugeneMcParland I'm sorry, I'm being naive: a "corrupt" official is one who didn't give Putin his cut.

The thing is, I'm not even being satirical, it's the literal truth. Putin's famous corruption trials were about putting oligarchs on notice: "I get half or I use the power of the state to make an example of you."

@EugeneMcParland The distinction between corruption and the expected conduct of the ordinary Russian functionary-turned-oligarch is unclear to all but the most highly trained.

@beebrookshire
Lots of coyotes in my older Portland neighborhood now. The bunny population exploded in the early pandemic when the streets became quiet, and the coyotes followed, and now the presence of both is the new normal. There's at least one family with lots of pups living on a steep, densely vegetated hillside -- actually someone's yard --near here. People have responded by posting flyers explaining what to expect and how to behave around them.

The neighbors seem very clued in, but the coyotes are _very_ comfortable around people. One crossed with me in the crosswalk at a busy intersection; understood it was safe to go when I did.

Most people are really charmed by them, others feel threatened. I've little doubt that something tragic will happen sooner or later.

I'm still expecting J. D. Vance to accuse Kamala Harris of marrying Prince Harry for his money. Any minute now.

@kura @danderson @lhp

... I think I see it now. Thanks!

Never forget that Jimmy Carter checked every single christian conservative box: devout churchgoer, southern, farmer, accomplished military officer, family man, happily married once, with simple homespun values.

... and they still crapped all over him in exactly the way they don't on Trump.

@danderson

Nah, "foo --help" should display usage; "foo -h" should respond

foo: halting...
done.

$

Just for fun, because foo's not actually a daemon or anything.

@dr2chase @wordshaper @danderson

Also, is

foo -version

the same as

foo --noversion

?

@lhp @kura @danderson

Also, someone explain busybox to me now

I can't help noticing that while the Republicans were hammering on the fact that Biden is a whopping 3 years older* than Trump, they also quietly switched to a Large Print Edition of the MAGA hat.

*Put another way, three-fourths of a presidential term.

@buck @anneapplebaum What they never want to say is that 2 1/2 years into the next term*, Trump will be the same age. Biden is now.

*Harris’ term, that is

@sjuvonen A sudden new restraint and tact about comprehension and cognitive issues as well.

@makerbymistake Curious timing, given that there's so much momentum now in the direction of ARM for traditional x86 space like servers and laptops. If x86 is slipping in those areas it's hard to see why it would gain much share in the low-powered, appliance-like space.

@lerxst @benroyce @billyjoebowers

Vern Troyer would save taxpayers money on Air Force One fuel costs.

@billyjoebowers @benroyce

Okay, this is me NOT asking "why not Vern Troyer?"

The lunatics in the Republican party calling for Biden to resign immediately aren't even bright enough to realize they're saying they can't wait for Kamala Harris to be President of the United States, and want it to happen right now.
