Some light reading.

Related: Hoping the weather forecast holds for tomorrow. My pal @chris.toshokelectric.com and I are going on a flour run, and I'm dead set on driving to Petaluma with the top down.

I was forced to transition from leaf lard to suet for pie crusts this year (due to product availability at the butcher), and so I'm psyching myself up for THE SHREDDING.

I’ve been calling it “artificial knowledge”, which I think better captures its stupidity

It's not artificial intelligence, it's real stupidity.

Shit, I'm going to have to remember how this addressing mode works, aren't I...

As a train nerd, I am extremely jealous of my wife who is Eurostar’ing to London today while I’m at work in Paris.

whos in the social media bubble now you gooncel freaks

Republicans could override the filibuster and reopen the government with only 51 votes. Any other solution requires the House, and Johnson is refusing to bring it back into session. Republicans completely control the shutdown. They don't want to reopen the government.

Opinion | 34 is not old enough to govern by Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless. Remember this.

This election suggests something interesting: the massive local GOP losses says the bad Democratic Party brand is salvageable, *if* the Third Way-style accommodationists are boxed out of leadership. Voters want to fight Trump and will support a pretty wide range of candidates to do it.

If Jay Jones texted that shit in 2016 would a critical mass of Dems have blanked their ballot and let Miyares win? I think so. But they are furious now. Their new standard is: Make the guy apologize, then vote for him, because fuck it, Republicans would.

“Yes, Aunties.” I AM DEAD.

I knew Mamdani was gonna win when I first saw his Halal food truck dudes ad.

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

In US v Comey, Judge Currie finds that grand jury transcripts provided by govt are incomplete. Orders complete transcript and/or recordings of record by tomorrow at 5pm. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Kitchen smells amazing right now. 🥖

NJ voters: keep on turning out to the Polls today! Some voter suppression BS going on in with bomb threats to Democratic precincts The threats have now been officially determined to be NON CREDIBLE. Voting is perfectly safe, it's a beautiful day, make your choices known!

We need to get the message out for the midterms to vote early, before the bomb threats and troop intimidation.

Dick Cheney shot his friend in the face the right way. by Ezra Klein

The holiday “bake more bread than anyone should ever eat” season is nearly upon us so it was time to wake up the starter.

Mmmm.

Does anyone else immediately hear Moon Zappa's voice in their head when they see an #m68k bitfield instruction? Or is that just me?

I find it completely unacceptable that fsck(8) is located in /sbin and yes(1) is located in /usr/bin.

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

The Korean article on the Hyundai raid explained MAGA as a movement seeking to overturn the civil rights movement and I still haven’t found a better description

"This is a moment that demands a response. If Dems can’t run on a unified platform that centralizes and prioritizes taxing the ultrawealthy in order to dismantle their stranglehold on our govt, then they need to get out of the way for people who will." Read more: bit.ly/4ohxXLq #TaxBillionaires

Am I reading this correctly: the firms that opposed Trump's intimidation tactics have suffered no consequences, whereas the firms that struck deals gave away $900 million while jeopardizing any work with clients who have interests at odds with the government? There's a lesson in there somewhere.

Well OK then.

Current status.

Words to live by.

In 2023 over the Christmas break, I ported #NetBSD to the Qemu "virt68k" platform. The idea was to make pkgsrc builds for #m68k faster. Unfortunately, the way 68040 support was wedged into the Hibler pmap module limits the amount of RAM for the virtual machine. I think this Christmas I'll fix that.

My pal wrote a cool children’s book!

One of my rev 5 Sharks was returned to me by a guy I gave it to *years* ago so he could teach himself ARM stuff. Can anyone help me figure out where that awful whine is coming from?

It’s impossible to overstate how much “abolish ice” is the normie position now here in chicago — just countless random moms at toddler soccer on a park district field asking me where I bought my anti-ice t-shirt. average people don’t like our neighborhoods being terrorized.

What I really need in my life is an early Bulgarian electronic calculator.

Been playing around a bit with RISC-V over the last couple of days and it truly feels like the Linux of CPU architectures. (This is not a compliment.)

I knew it was high time I cleaned up my home office. #treasure

It's impossible to reach these guys - write them all off www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvt5...

You know, I think it's high time I properly learn Forth.

Had to say goodbye to the Very Best Boy In The Whole World today. I'll miss you Shakespeare, so so much. ❤️

Pouring one out for Ozzy.

Scheming… #m68k
