well that will just about do it for the Gunners' hopes for this season...

One bit of light that we can hold onto in this crazy world is that Man United are shit.

got motivated to watch Kendrick's halftime show again tonight. Its still super amazing It motivated me to re-watch Prince's halftime show again. That one is still the very best. He had so much raw talent. One of the best guitar players to ever live and that's not what he's remembered for

I've been administering online databases for decades, and a secret we all know about how to increase the transactional throughput of your database is to switch to writing things down on paper instead. Elon Musk would obviously know this

Yoshi is born with shoes on, but it's the fucked up world he's born into that puts a gun in his hand

I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing. This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it. No more looking away. Face up to what it is.

Steve Bannon whipped up the CPAC crowd by talking about the possibility of Trump staying in office for a third term—and concluded his speech by giving a provocative gesture that resembled the controversial salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally last month.

anytime I see Sheldon Whitehouse, I expect Sam Waterston's voice to come out of his mouth.

OMG why does `hexdump -C` display different endianness than just `hexdump` !!!!

democracy is not okay

there was ANOTHER fatal aircraft collision today? www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

eggs? real life example of the punchline to Chris Rock's "bullets should cost $5,000" bit

from AWS S3 docs: "The following characters in a key name might require additional code handling and most likely must be URL encoded or referenced as HEX" "might," but actually "most likely must"‽

#Google is suddenly marking *almost* all of the things I try to SMS to my ex-wife as not possible to send due to their acceptable use policy. For example. my recent message "yes" to my ex-wife was marked as not deliverable due to their acceptable use policy. are other's having this problem?

Growing up in the 80s, #SNL was the reason I didn't mind having a curfew. The #SNL50 tribute was deliciously nostalgic

Wishing all the Americans a happy Toyotathon (or happy Honda Days depending on how your family celebrates).

I genuinely thought this was a parody. It is not.

The brunch spot I'm at just sent 6 employees to make runs to Costco because they are almost out of eggs and Costco is limiting how many each person can buy

Allegory alert!

“I’ve never seen anything like this in my 55 years,” says Beth Pratt, a regional executive director for the National Wildlife Federation, who lives near Yosemite and is working on a book called “Yosemite Wildlife.” “Just to want to gut the Park Service? I don’t understand it.”

So weird, I was trying to have a conversation with my x-wife on google chat and the subject of Thai food came up. I tried talking to her about tamarind pods and google kept flagging that as being against their acceptable use policy. It was find with me calling them "t-pods" with the same message

omg, so much hatsune miku when I have my kids at my house and I don't even understand what is going on. what is amazing is that as much as I know about hatsune miku, I can still go the the wikipedia page and have no fucking idea what hatsune miku is or what the wikipedia page is trying to tell me

It's hilarious to me that if you get into the latest and greatest of what is available for synthesizers you might connect to computers, you are going to suddenly find yourself investing in new USB-B cables. I was sure I was done with those 15 years ago.

If we’re renaming bodies of water based on petty grievances, I propose that this be renamed the Kendrick Lamar passage.

Mitch McConnell being the only Republican senator that we can count on to vote with Democrats is just so so strange

Big Balls has learned his lesson. by Susan Collins

"Label Printed" != "Shipped"

I have had some time to play with @unison-lang.org a bit more. The thought that keeps coming to me is how much of a joy it is to work with, in the same sense as when I first started programming on a BBC Micro. All you need is a text editor and the unison code manager. Everything is just simple, …
