That story is even shorter than a Raymond Carver story.
I was really hoping that the law would catch up eventually.
In the early days of twitter, I commented about “less people” so often that a friend actually made a bot of my joke reply. Alas, I can’t remember the joke. Maybe something like “unless you work in a Soylent Green factory.”
Violating Trump’s patent!
Show me.
Are you an exhibit?
I used to play “Get That Gasoline” in a band. But this here toon is a pretty good intro to their style: youtu.be/YKVs4fhOoWM?...
Get that kid a DAW!
… unless getting your hair cut, servicing the car, and obtaining food count as productive.
😂
Does he at least moo at cows?
When I was wee in Southern Maine, we called it “tonic.”
Those are going to be some Sandersonesque tomes!
As the drill sergeants were drilling the UCMJ’s “must obey lawful orders” into me, I remember wondering how I would go about determining “lawful” if the need to make that distinction ever arose. These kids are being put into an awful position.
Serving size: One half serving.
I used to monitor the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.
Are there criteria for what counts as a rebellion or invasion?
True if big.
Mountainhead starts with the AI-driven total collapse of global socioeconomic order. Then it gets dark.
Go provides a “simple” fake file system for testing (pkg.go.dev/testing/fste...).
I spent the day discovering that MapFS totally ignores the permission bits on its files.
Dagnabbit.
Am I going to have to write my own fake file system?
Oh, and that was the first time I ever played for an audience!
It’s not a tricky song, but I doubt that I could just pick up a guitar and play it now. But at that moment I played it well enough to get the job
The band lasted about a week, until the singer bailed out and took all of his PA gear.
Back in the day I was scheduled to audition for a band, and they invited me to see them play at a large house party. At the party they said, “Let’s do the audition now,” handed me a guitar, and launched into “Gimme Three Steps,” which I had never tried to play before.
I think Kristi Noem knows perfectly well what habeas corpus means. Her answer wasn’t out of ignorance. It was spin. She took the question as an opportunity to further the administration’s narrative that the writ of habeas corpus serves at the pleasure of the President.
So: Counter-evolution.
Close game, though.
There will be no show. The show will be announced. 115,000 hopeful migrants will show up. They'll all be arrested and sent to El Salvador.
Operation Flagship. Like in Pacino's Sea of Love, or Shyamalan's Trap.
At most. They’re sometimes much shorter.
My sense is that nobody offers a lifetime subscription when their business is healthy.
This appears to be the most recent posting to social media by Robert Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV.
