I first read "give him a staff" as in a wizard's staff. Now I'm picturing Buttigieg standing on the capitol steps in a heavy cloak and long beard, shouting "you shall not pass!" at the fash.

I think I'm going to take the money I saved by cancelling Amazon Prime and put it toward a Rainbow Sponsorship for Ferndale Pride instead.

Wow. I was listening to an ATIS literally last night and when I heard the "notice to air missions" section, I just *knew* they were going to be petty enough to change that back at some point. Sure as shit, here we go...

I didn't modify my keyboard layout, but I've been using a program called WinCompose. In its default setup, tapping right-alt and then three hyphens --- gives you a nice em dash — among lots of other easy-to-remember sequences for things like degrees ° and accented characters á and such.

That "if" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.

I'm operating on the assumption that the Internet Archive itself won't be available in the long term. It's too much a single point of failure — and thus an obvious target — for so much of our history. If there's anything there you consider precious or irreplaceable, download your own copy now.

I noticed. It was stunning how fast the state department was turning those passport applications around.

I've been feeling this a lot lately as someone who helped build an early dialup ISP in the 90s. It seemed like connection across divides was going to lead to so much good change. The global village and all that.
But now look at us.
This was my "farewell" video on TikTok to that same effect.

Oh, bummer. I have fun memories of playing in the Huskies pep band at the GLI at the Joe. Please tell me MTU is at least still part of the tournament?

It very much was a "you had to be there at the right time" thing, for sure. There were some odd allocations from those days... didn't Mercedes Benz get an /8 as well?

I'm at an event on a university campus today and was surprised to see that my laptop got an honest-to-goodness public IPv4 address on the guest wifi (from a /14 block, no less). Haven't seen that in a while!

It may not be an official set, but someone's got you covered.

It may not be the worst horror contained within, but I do shudder at the idea of parents electing school principals.

I put a hold on this one yesterday when I found it while looking for one of your other suggestions. There are 23 people ahead of me in line for it, but it will show up someday. :)

Thank you so much! Checking my library catalogs now.

I would love to find a book that spells out a clear vision of what "what we were working towards" really means and imagines what our country could look like if those ideals were fully realized.
Do any of you book lovers out there have a recommendation?
