About trans rights:

They're a wedge issue. If you think it's okay to deprive trans people of the right to exist in the public sphere then you're saying human rights are conditional and/or can be withdrawn. Which puts you on a slippery slope to no human rights for anyone.

When you trace the roots of the modern anti-trans movement they boil down to some combination of bigotry and billionaire bullshit— the oligarchs think rights are for the rich.

So: trans-rights are human rights. No exceptions.

If polls are to be believed, fuckface has a 36% approval rating.

This is 100% too high, and every one of the irredeemable fucks that makes up the 36% would argue the math here.

"Alicia" shared this pic from Kern County. "The lemon orchard is in bad shape, with no lemons on the trees. They still only pay us $35 per 900 lb box for juice lemons. It takes us 3-4 hours to pick that box. It's wrong. We should at least be guaranteed minimum wage." #WeFeedYou

Well fucking shit motherfuckers. Vim & Neovim are both contaminated with LLM slop.

I mean, I can just use ed. Or roll back Vim to an old version and never let it update? Fuck.

I do have a new Mac coming, so I could just commit to BBEdit, tho that's less optimal for code editor. Assuming siegel hasn't done something stupid?

Ha ha I could finally switch to emacs with vile binds and then NOTHING will work.

Fucking fuck darkest fucking timeline.

It's nice to see that when #DEFCON says "Don't support rapists" they really mean it. https://techcrunch.com/2026/02/18/hacking-conference-def-con-bans-three-people-linked-to-epstein/

Nicer concentration camps and more cordial Klansmen with badges is a dumb fucking argument and, if it is an argument you are making as an elected Democrat in the year 2026, you should resign exactly now and let any actual decent person do the job you have exhaustively proven you are fucking unqualified to do. https://bsky.app/profile/housedemocrats.bsky.social/post/3mer7sywmis2q

House Democrats have been clear: ICE should operate just like any other law enforcement agency. Reform ICE now!

A bittersweet feeling as I start “The Regicide Report”; the last of the Laundry Files by @cstross.

For my money no other author comes close to pulling off this signature tongue-in-cheek-existential-horror-comedy. Charlie captures the GenX nerd spirit and twists it into wry commentary on how screwed up it all is these days.

It’s been a 20 odd year journey with Bob and co, one which I have enjoyed immensely.
