Four bendy buses managed to enter a roundabout at the exact same time from four different directions in Oslo yesterday afternoon and get properly stuck, each bus blocking the exit for the one behind it. #BigBusStuck
Breaking: In a stinging outmaneuver of Trump, Canada buys Greenland from Denmark. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen: “They made an exploding, all-cash offer with no inspection contingency, we really had no choice.”
Always tell yourself “I’m going to survive this” as it’s always going to be true except once, and at that point you won’t even know it.
God Halloween reminds me of how much I hate this generation. I hand them the bowl and tell them to take as much as they would like. These kids are taking one piece each. Maybe two. I HAVE LITERAL BAGS OF CANDY HERE WHERE IS THE FIRE IN YOUR SOULS

Posting this tonight for no particular reason:

"Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed.

That word is 'Nazi.' Nobody cares about their motives anymore."

And here's the thing: None of this stuff makes me angry. Annoyed, sure, but I've been around computers since I was a toddler, and I have to solve shit problems like these for myself every day.

What makes me angry is: What about all the folks who aren't computer people? How the absolute fuck do they survive in a world where you can no longer function as an employee, a family member, any sort of citizen without encountering this stuff?

Those people are fucking heroes, and I'm angry for them.

Glinda dropped Dorothy's house on the Wicked Witch of the East, not the tornado, and uses Dorothy to gain control of Oz.

One of the first things Glinda tells Dorothy is that SHE killed the witch. They praise her so she'll accept it, and when the Witch of the West comes along, who killed her sister?

Dorothy.

Glinda then puts the ruby slippers on Dorothy's feet but does not tell her that she can use them to go home. Instead she sends Dorothy to Oz in possession of objects that a witch would murder her for.

Dorothy, being forced into a situation where her only salvation is Oz and her worst enemy is the queen, inadvertently exposes the Wizard of Oz as a fraud and murders the Witch of the West.

Now who's left to rule Oz? Glinda fuckin' witch of the North. She used Dorothy as an expendable pawn to gain control of Oz without having to leave her bubble. And when Dorothy is done upheaving the two biggest powers in Oz, Glinda sends her home and makes her think it was all a dream!

I love semantic HTML. Each input field is so easy to describe in a sensible way. It can even be used by plugins and user-scripts.
