US politics is weird as fuck right now, more so than usual. Today managed a new type of wut, though
Congressman holding a baby as he walks through the halls, and answering "Not yet" to questions about if it's his. Then getting into a screaming match about something unrelated, again still holding the baby.
(it was Santos, because of course it was)
oh god Songtradr’s takeover of #Bandcamp has ended up being way worse than anyone expected much more quickly. tl;dr: Songtradr isn’t honoring the union, has locked out employees from critical systems, and is basically trying to steamroll everyone in the handoff.

At the very least this means this #bandcampfriday might not be so great, and most likely everything about bandcamp is going to shit very rapidly.
Bandcamp employees say they've been locked out of critical systems and unable to do their jobs since Epic announced it was selling. This will hurt Bandcamp Fridays where 100% of the profits go to artists. They're bargaining over layoffs and severance. It's an epic mess.
Random wondering of the day: Does anyone use "centigram"? I always see either gram or milligram.

Congratulations to everyone who read this vintage-1976 _Peanuts_ at just the right moment to gain a desire they couldn't begin to understand for years.
Scene: the Warhammer 40k universe. An inquisitor. A very, very angry inquisitor.
Because the Culture found this universe and assigned him a slap-drone. So every ten seconds or so a loud noise plays that drowns out whatever he has to say and there's dozens of half-melted pistols around from his attempts to shoot the thing.

"No, that's my job. Would you like some tea?"
Tonight in stupid dog things:
-ambulance goes by
-coyotes start howling at the siren
-dog initially starts howling back then goes wait NO THOSE GUYS SUCK and barks demanding to be let outside
Conservatives: "we can't change the healthcare system or we'll be like the Europeans with their waiting lists!"
actual US healthcare: referred to cardiologist in July, they are "ready to schedule" two months later for an appointment in May.
Oh and there's only one hospital system that isn't owned by religious fanatics
