"Big Blue Gnu" is my pseudonym. In real life, I am a student majoring in software engineering and minoring in art, as well as a pianist who has taken up music theory. Outside of that, I am a free software advocate who contributes edits to Wikipedia and items to the Internet Archive, preserves web pages and files, and occasionally posts reviews on IMDb. This is the place where I regularly blog about my activities, as well as whatever concerns me.

It is 2028. Congress had repealed the 22nd Amendment, and former President Barack Obama and incumbent Donald Trump are poised to clench their party nominations in an unprecedented match between the two-term presidents. The polls and prediction markets are on fire, yet a mixture of uncertainty and trepidation fills the electorate. Who will win?

Why Google’s New AI-Saturated Search Page Will Be A Disaster

Google didn’t invent full-text search of the Internet – that honor belongs to early pioneers such as WebCrawler, Lycos and AltaVista. But for the last 25 years or so, Google has…

I just realized, Sunday was June 7, or 6/7/2026. My 6-year-old nephew, who is not allowed on the Internet, nonetheless has recently heard of the 6-7 meme, and will not shut up about it. I am a bit surprised that I did not hear him repeat it at church that day, not that he was expected to realize that church day was "six seven".

What do you call all those people, collectively, who sought to overturn a lawfully conducted election by force on January 6, 2021? The Coup Cucks Clan.

You do not respond to rotters with gittish views by restricting their entry into your country, not that the Parliament would understand. https://reason.com/2026/06/01/shame-on-the-u-k-for-censoring-hasan-piker-and-cenk-uygur/ #UnitedKingdom #censorship #England #foreignPolicy #freeSpeech #hateSpeech #LabourParty
