Cats are most adorable while sleeping, so we want to cuddle them so much, but then they wouldn’t be asleep anymore. The sleeping cat dilemma.

I’m taking a Japanese class at my local community college. It’s interesting how as you start learning you start understanding some words that random people say. I was at a store and heard a little girl exclaim 「百九ドル？！」 (“109 dollars?!”) to complain about the cost of a Hello Kitty My Melody headset.

There ought to be a vfork_altstack() API in POSIX. It would mostly solve the weird rules about using vfork().

It’s sad that my large employer still does not have IPv6 internally.

I hate my body so much. I’ll never look female.

I’m TLSed out. I stored a handle to a Transport-Layer Security socket into a Thread-Local Storage variable, with memory allocated from a Two-Level Segregated Fit heap.

Isn’t it great that “[[gnu::noinline]] inline” is sometimes a reasonable thing to do in #C++? >.<

My mood is nicely improved tonight. Wonder why

All day, many of you have been asking for a Cheney obituary from me. Get ready:

Dodgers win the World Series in 8 games!

I wish there were an aligned_alloca() function.

If a prince can lose his title for being a pedophile, can a president? Asking for 70,000,000 people

Meow from World Series game 4!

When I put the streaming radio on my phone for the #Dodgers game six and a half hours ago, I did not expect that the game would outlast my phone’s battery.

I’ve never understood why Blåhaj 🦈 is a trans icon, but it is very cute.

NYT: ‘“This is the insider trading scandal for the N.B.A.,” Kash Patel, the F.B.I. director, said.’ How about insider trading scandals for the White House and Congress, Mr. Patel?

To vzeroupper or not to vzeroupper—that is the question: Whether ‘tis nobler in the CPU to suffer The stalls and delays of switching modes Or to use vzeroupper against a sea of switches And by a thousand cuts avoid them.

First World Series between two cities threatened with invasion or invaded by a U.S. president.

Laguna Hills, California

The motivation behind the prosecution is malicious and vindictive, but it really looks like John Bolton is guilty of the alleged things. I just hope that the trial is fair.

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.
