"... the sentiment is generally more positive for stereotypically-white names, & more negative for stereotypically-black names."
I urge you to read this if you do sentiment analysis of any sort.

Talk like a pirate day
The MPAA and the cable industry have a monopoly on mass media, exploiting not only consumers but low wage actors and stage crew.
The only ethical way to consume mass media is to share it.
I've recently noticed almost all of my toots which should contain the word "than", instead says "that". I blame my phone, which has also decided that when I write "did" what I really wanted was "didn't" which somewhat changes the meaning.
This is the kind of news we need. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-lancashire-45536348/magpie-and-whippet-s-unlikely-friendship

The Art Deco Bank of Ireland building in Belfast is absolutely superb. It stands empty, which is a real shame.

I've inadvertently started listening to an album on shuffle and the 'wrong' track coming on second has unsettled me sufficiently that I've had to go and do something else for a bit.

@h3artbl33d There are a lot of ZFS myths that need to die. No filesystem is perfect, and yes, you can lose data with ZFS. You can get bad performance with ZFS. It's not a magic wand that makes your system flawless forever.
It's copy-on-write, flexible, integrity-checking, device managing awesome sauce. If you don't want that you don't have to use it.
But if you take the plunge it can also totally save your bacon. I can't understate the usefulness of ZFS: it really is better than anything else.

if you underclock your CPU frequency does it increase the amount of torque it can deliver
I've always wanted a Citroen DS... If ever I have more money than I'm quite sure what to do with, I'll get one like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzo3dsa_X6A
Since installing Pi-Hole for my home network more than a third of DNS lookups are being blocked. General web browsing is so much faster as a result.

"Two-thirds (68 percent) of American’s [six] who identify as libertarians are men, and 94 percent are non-hispanic whites."
Also interesting is the comment that "fringe movements tend to be dominated by men". Judging by the photos, the leaders of the National Popular Vote project (https://www.nationalpopularvote.com/about) are all white men. It's fringy in that most people haven't heard of it, but it may succeed in its one very specific goal.
