Jamal Khashoggi's widow, Hanan Elatr Khashoggi: "Try as much as you can to save democracy and freedom of the press and speech in America. Do not be a copy of a Middle East dictatorship. We look to you as a role model of Western civilization—please maintain it."

Mamdani won (against Dem opposition no less) with a bold progressive platform and never watered it down or sought GOP retiree (cowards anyway) despite all the advice he needed to. Then when he blasted to the win he told them to stuff it in his victory speech. Can you take this nationally? Yes!

This quote from Spock, always relevant, especially today. When encountering the powerful but badly behaved Trelane (an early Q): " I object to you. I object to intellect without discipline; I object to power without constructive purpose."

If I call publicly for the president to be hanged, I get a visit from the FBI. If the president does it, it’s OK. If his supporters call for the VP they just voted for, they get pardoned. Two sets of laws.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_... this is a really good concept to understand. Someone alive in say, 1985 seeing the rapid progress in combustion engine efficiency, if they understood this, would realize that the result of that efficiency would not be fuel efficient cars, but powerful, giant SUVs.

Had a great austinsystems.org last night! Joey set up a tiny Cloudflare network to show us how to program NICs. And Sean demoed audio effects in Python (the math behind reverb, vocal harmony, autotune etc). Next month we're doing lightning talks (10 mins or less). Sign up at the link!

It is possible now to bicycle from deep south austin all the way into downtown 95% stress free. Just a few intersections to cross and a couple short bits on un protected shoulders/bike lanes. not bad!

Unemployment training and smart pacing resulted in maybe my best bike race result ever? 8th overall at the Palo duro xc marathon. Lots of attrition due to heat and a tough course.

Global EV sales are up 23% YTD, with 1.9M sold in October — and historically, the record month every year is December as quotas, fleets, and subsidies all pile in (especially in China). 2025 is the first time September’s 2.1M might actually beat December… but history says December loves to surprise.

In eight years Megyn Kelly went from becoming a centrist convert who bravely and eloquently spoke about being a victim of abuse during #MeToo and advocated for other victims....to standing up for some peadophiles coz the girls weren't 8, they were 15 and just LOOKED younger. Her daughter is 14 btw.

Attorney: Can 13-year olds consent to sex? Republicans: CAN THEY EVER

Mark Wolf, a federal judge appointed by Reagan, is resigning after 40 years on the bench. In an essay published by The Atlantic this week, he wrote, “The White House’s assault on the rule of law is so deeply disturbing to me that I feel compelled to speak out. Silence, for me, is now intolerable.”

ok! have the basics set up in Godot now to start making a game. I've got a gridmap with a meshlibrary. On startup I build my own internal data structure of the world, so I know what blocks are where, and I can rotate and move my characters around the gridmap. next up maybe make the camera follow

Blue Origin successfully launched two satellites to mars and landed the booster. We now have two shameful billionaires who can re-use first stage boosters.

Now trying my game idea with 3D isometric instead of 2D. Will make a lot of things easier, hopefully I can figure out lighting and camera settings so it *looks* like 2d pixel art. #godot #indiegame #gamedev

biologist here, humans are omnivores and eat whatever is around, it's our whole thing. big animals? hell yeah. delicious fruits? absolutely. leaves and tubers? you bet. random bug thing from the sea? gimme that. the answer for "what did prehistoric people eat?" just depends on where they were.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

This is the blog post I wish I'd read before starting the KCL parser. I think someday we'll rewrite the parser to use this approach. KCL parser has to be more error-tolerant, and I think this would help a lot. If you're keen on parsers or PLs, read this tutorial!

It is pretty odd that a conservative president who would get booed at an NFL game would also win an election. Speaks either to how racist and sexist America is (picked a guy they hated over a black woman) or fraud.
