MelHamnavoe@derickr youngest told me this morning that a lot of the #OnlineSafetyAct age verifications can be #rickrolled (bypassed with a Rick Astley img) which is both hilarious and sums up this idiocy perfectly.

Retired software engineer, birder, backyard orchardist. I followed a lot of naturalist types on Twitter and this looked like a place they might show up.
@liw @simontatham My reply to “not very likely” is, “They haven’t repealed Murphy’s Law yet.”
@nixCraft When I started grad school people were playing music on the university computer (singular), one tone plus percussion, by moving the plotter pen up and down at a controlled frequency (tone), typing one character at a time on the console (snare drum) and printing a line on the line printer (bass drum)
@mekkaokereke After Michelle Obama’s speech at the DNC I have to say, she showed how to stay on the high ground and still fight back in no uncertain terms.

@zannesan @smach @mekkaokereke There is a basic likeability factor here — people like people who have an honest smile. I think this will extend far into the undecided voters.
@mekkaokereke Kamala has the amount of killer instinct that is needed for the job. “When they go low, we go high” is a lovely sentiment but doesn’t work. “When they go low, I’m going to tell it like it is in no uncertain terms” is more like it.
I’m looking for the Democrats to redefine “politically correct” to its real meaning, “saying things the party wants to hear when you don’t believe them” and pin it on hypocritical Trump supporters, starting with Vance.
@xris @allstartrek I like the poetry of the line “Who put the tribbles in the quadrotriticale?” (But it’s been decades — I may have misquoted)
@dendroica More recently, I was bicycling to work near a different section of that river (6 or 10 miles further upstream, on the south side of Newton) when a woman told me she had just seen a “Night Crowned Heron” which I kind of loved
@dendroica I used to walk on a path next to the Charles River in Watertown, Massachusetts, on my lunch hours. There was a stone with a picture of a BCNH near a particular tree. If you looked hard, you might see a night heron; if you kept looking, you might see four or five, and then wonder why you had had to look so hard for the first one.
