I wish x86 and ARM had a way to load a 3-element vector into an xmm/q register easily, setting the high element to zero.

With the gerrymandering by Republicans and the destruction of the Voting Rights Act, the midterm elections might have an angry populace vote 2/3 Democratic and we end up with 2/3 of the House going to Republicans.

I had a half-asleep stupid idea tonight: WiFi SFP modules!

A friend in DC got hit in the latest round of illegal layoffs at HHS, after close to a decade of public service. A friend in Chicago is walking their kid's classmate to school, because that kid's parent doesn't feel safe doing so. It doesn't have to be this way.

If we somehow pull out of this fascism death spiral before it’s in full force, there’ll likely be a book someone writes called “How Close We Came”.

McDonald’s ought to reconsider the message on their drink lids: “It’s Nice to Ice”

The cheaper flight I want goes through Utah, which sucks… can’t use the bathroom in the airport.

Wondering when Windows SDK 26200 will get released. Curious to see whether Intel APX is supported.

A sad sequence of possible events that might happen: 1. SCOTUS says birthright citizenship invalid. Retroactively; millions lose citizenship. Most are now stateless. 2. ICE starts deporting new victims. 3. Massive protests. 4. Military called in to crush them violently. 5. They do.

We have to stop dehumanizing ICE agents while they are doing their important job of dehumanizing us

Sleepy time

If only we’d known in 2015 that we could just turn off the escalator.

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

Experimental post: The Inevitable March of Time From the moment of this post, Super Mario Bros. is now closer to World War II than it is to the present day.

Today’s the Rapture. Why haven’t we been left behind yet?

once again, if tylenol caused autism, america would have a better rail system

Maybe I will see Tron Ares after all. Depends on how things go with Disney…

Why is Teams so terrible at sticking to the bottom of scrolling chat?

“Your device is missing important updates.” Yeah, Windows, and I’d do something about it if you didn’t keep failing to install them! >.< I guess I’m waiting for 25H2 at this point so it can blow away whatever’s broken.

I wish I could fast-forward to saner times. The anxiety of the Trump era is getting to me.

Trump’s posts are getting downright insane now. Maybe the Democrats could convince Mike Johnson to impeach and remove Trump and Vance so that he becomes president? I’ll keep dreaming…

I’m sorry but I think folks can often be too harsh with Sarah. 95 Ds voted YES bc of leadership, why single her out so often? She got elected statewide in Delaware. Her path is challenging and this time is terrifying. I think the disagreements w/ her can be less personal. I care about her safety.

/20 In closing, this is the result that the Right, the Federalist Society, the Heritage Foundation, and their crew have successfully fought for: a system where the federal government can deliberately violate your rights and there is no effective remedy - meaning you don’t really have the right.

Folks, I don’t know what end is up right now.

Along with Antifa, Donald Trump is declaring Peter Pan’s Lost Boys and Frodo’s Fellowship as terrorist organizations.

Just so I'm clear: TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft. TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism. Free speech, everyone.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments. that fox news host still has his job.

I’m doomering right now. I don’t currently see how this could end without a dictatorship and trans genocide. I need to see some sort of light in this. And violence isn’t a light.

I mean, are we still pretending as if there SHOULD have been any contest b/t Harris & THIS? I don’t care what you pretended you were so concerned about. I’m not gone play this game with y’all. Just admit you were HORRIBLY WRONG. We’ve all had to admit we were wrong: That’s adulthood.

what's crazy is that if we restrict our sample size to just "the day that Charlie Kirk got shot" it remains true that right-wing extremists commit more violence

This is fascism.

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: If Charlie Kirk wasn’t a right-wing extremist, right-wing extremist groups wouldn’t be marching to honor him.

I envy every single person that genuinely has to ask, “but what’s a groyper?”

I swear that the “the Right” lives in the Upside Down or somewhere other than Earth.

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

Looked at my data collections for state-backed activity. If the report were a picture:

MSNBC fired Matthew Dowd and yet Fox News is just going to let this guy stay.

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

"Don't mock or you'll be deported" is the mark of a weak, decadent nation, a petty and insecure failure unworthy of respect.

I hope Donald threw a rageful fit when he found out that the Charlie Kirk assassin was far right.

Here are the _public_ email addresses for the reporters and the standards editor listed on the WSJ site. Standards editor: [email protected] Journalists who wrote the article: [email protected] [email protected] Politely and peacefully demand a retraction and an apology.

I really hope it wasn’t a trans person. That’d be the worst possible outcome.

He had an opportunity last night to heal a broken/divided nation. Instead, he attacks, he pours gas on the fire, & he further divides. For the next 3yrs, the American people are on their own trying to lower the temperature in this country. Bcuz the guy in the White House is humanly incapable of it.

Most political violence in America is right wing violence and that includes violence against right wing figures.

You know what would be good FBI experience for identifying violent criminals in a large crowd? The agents who investigated January 6. Who have been/are being fired.

Charlie Kirk said the Epstein files should be released, prior to his assassination, which made a lot of MAGA and Trump’s circle angry. "The DOJ should immediately move to unseal all the Epstein...Every file should be released to the public."

I think I see a bug in IsProcessorFeaturePresent related to supporting more than 64 features. The code does “cmp ecx,0xC0” so seems to be written as if up to 192 features are now supported. If less than 0x40, it uses KUSER_SHARED_DATA::ProcessorFeatures as before. But, the code for 0x40-0xBF …

This is a Melissa Hortman appreciation account for the next 24 hours.
