I've created a Python module that uses turtle. py to easily create fractals. inventwithpython.com/blog/fractal...

The offer made to women in the enticement to become trad wives is the same as the offer made to citizens in the enticement to embrace authoritarianism: give up. Abandon the aspiration to self rule. It’s imprisonment recast as rest and relief.

If you didn't know who Charlie Kirk was or are still wondering how much of an unambiguously hateful bigot he was, Rebecca Watson has a video where you can see Charlie telling you himself, with full context. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6MS...

I forgot to snap a photo while I was donating platelets today, but here's a bandaged arm. You can donate platelets every two weeks. You can find a donor center near you to make an appointment, you don't need to wait for a donor drive.

Disney Plus Subscribers Quit in Droves Over Jimmy Kimmel Axe www.newsweek.com/disney-plus-...

thank you to 📸 @alsweigart.bsky.social for capturing the vibe. folks it's fillharmonics.com

So right now I'm making blog posts for various projects that I work on. ( inventwithpython.com/blog ) and those are nice and everything, but I kind of wonder if I should make individual web pages for each thing, with it's own style. Maybe I'm trying to capture the indie style of old geocities.

Nexstar Media Group 545 East John Carpenter Freeway Suite 700 Irving, TX 75062

Also if you want a specific person to be mad at, it's Andrew Alford, President of Nexstar's broadcasting division. He's the one who made the decision to preempt Kimmel's show, totally mischaracterizing what Kimmel actually said in the process.

And hey, if while you’re at it, you’d like to send letters of support to Kimmel and his team (bc this decision is going to affect everyone who works on the production): Jimmy Kimmel Live! 6834 Hollywood Blvd. Suite 600 Los Angeles, CA 90028

The address to target is: Disney-ABC Home Entertainment and Television Distribution 500 S. Buena Vista St. Burbank, CA 91521-3515

I compiled the programming project ideas from my Python books into one blog post: "List of 87 Programming Ideas for Beginners" www.reddit.com/r/learnprogr...

I went to see Sparks in Brooklyn on Friday. Great show.

Other than Amazon, there doesn't seem to be a place to write book reviews anymore. Bookshop. org, LibraryThing, Powells, Barnes and Noble, Storygraph... I can't find "Write a review" links on them. Am I missing something?

Obama and Biden never said citizens should be forced to enter a government program or else they'd be executed. But that's how conservatives think: "Just kill 'em."

If you had an unfrozen caveman living with you, do you think it would be easy to teach him how to reseal a ziploc bag or hard?

so far they've fired sportscasters, news presenters, game developers, soldiers, and members of the secret service for being insufficiently laudatory towards the deceased bigot do you recall a day when we still thought freedom of speech existed, in this country

If Utah had the death penalty, Charlie Kirk's killer wouldn't have dared carry out his reprehensible crime.

I wrote my own Charlie Kirk obituary, and about valuing truth over manners: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

To add my two cents here as a trans reporter who's long commented on my cis colleagues' anti-trans biases: It doesn't matter IMO *what* these folks are actually thinking or telling themselves. What's apparent is: They've bought into the warping of the american discourse by anti-trans propagandists.

Instead of a public retraction, the Wall Street Journal quietly adjusted its headline. Neither Emma Tucker, the editor-in-chief, nor the two reporters who wrote the original piece responded to my requests for comment. www.advocate.com/news/wall-st...

between this and the false wsj bullet casings report its hard to believe theyre not intentionally trying to fuel magas bloodthirsty rampage

Brian Kilmeade says this with the casualness you unfortunately expect. Media Matters was also the source for the NYT article "Fox Host Says He ‘Misspoke’ About Muslims" back in 2010, pointing out he "misspoke" multiple times. action.mediamatters.org/secure/donate

as soon as there's evidence the shooter's identity isn't easy to weaponize things magically become complicated

As soon as it became clear the alleged shooter was a white male conservative:

luigi mangione murdered a healthcare executive and opposed "wokeism." i don't know why people insist that killers need some coherent ideology. most people don't even have coherent wardrobes, let alone a coherent worldview.

Pivoted so hard they affected the earth's rotation

Before and after it's revealed that the shooter is a white male right-winger:

the groypers sure seem to think Charlie Kirk was killed by a groyper

Even I'm not this terminally online, but if you'd like some insight into Charlie Kirk's assassination, this is informative:

Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up? TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.

Also, in case you were wondering why I warned everyone to stay away from the pier last night, this is why

oh these are moderate views on the right?

Every centrist hagiographer: he said some very important stuff Everyone: oh, like what? Every centrist hagiographer: very important things Everyone: Can you repeat some of those things he said? Every centrist hagiographer, looking at their legal department frantically shaking their heads: no

just a reminder that the snitch who ratted on Luigi never got paid. they will do anything to wiggle out of paying you, you will never get the money.

This doesn't seem to be an idle threat. Landau is responding to people reporting posts on X with an image suggesting that they'll put permanent black marks in peoples' files or even seek to strip visas from people who "made light" of Kirk's assassination. Another betrayal of the First Amendment.

Charlie Kirk: "I used to love New York City. It's an unrecognizable city, but that's what the left does. They're parasites. The left are cockroaches." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocid...

"If I see a Black pilot, I'm gonna be like 'boy, I hope he is qualified,'" the activist and host of the The Charlie Kirk Show said.

After 9/11 we invaded Iraq.

When Minnesota Democratic State Representative Melissa Hortman was murdered in her home by a gun toting MAGA maniac less than 90 days ago they said nothing. Trump even skipped her funeral and chose to play golf instead. He had the chance to condemn political violent and did not.

Charlie Kirk's "Work" was to tell his followers to take care of transgender people like they did "in the 50s and 60s"

My bold prediction is that the Kirk shooter will have confused political ideas.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.
