Ich weiss jetzt ja auch nicht, weshalb mir nun gerade all die Mitte-Politiker in den Sinn kommen, die während der ganzen Individualbesteuerungsdebatten nicht müde wurden zu betonen, dass sie «alle Lebensmodelle* unterstützen».

* Alle, solange die Frau das «Substitut» bleibt, offensichtlich 🙃

Over the past year, every single time one of the apps or services I use suddenly became less reliable and more buggy, I never have to look far for the "Claude is amazing and now writes most of my code" post for the devs involved.

We don’t need gender markers on birth certificates.

We don’t need gender markers on drivers’ licenses.

We don’t need gender markers on passports.

We need politicians who will make the bold moves to remove these relics.

US-Lobbyist attackiert die Bundes­kanzlei Ein Berater der US-Handels­kammer interveniert gegen Digitalisierungsstrategie.

Der Berater der "Swiss-American Chamber of Commerce" greift direkt die Bundeskanzlei an, weil diese eine Weisung für mehr "digitale Souveränität" erlassen hat.

Eine beispiellose Einmischung eines US-Lobbyisten in die Digitalpolitik eines souveränen Nationalstaats.

How tenaciously Palantir courted Switzerland Internal documents show how the country finally rejected pitches by tech company Palantir.

"I say! Are you Georgina?"
The child in the opposite bed sat up and looked across at Anne. She had very short
curly hair, almost as short as a boy's. Her face was burnt a dark-brown with the sun, and
“Famous Five 01 - Five On A Treasure Island” By Enid Blyton 7
her very blue eyes looked as bright as forget-me-nots in her face. But her mouth was
rather sulky, and she had a frown like her father's.
"No," she said. "I'm not Georgina."
"Oh!" said Anne, in surprise. "Then who are you?"
"I'm George," said the girl. "I shall only answer if you call me George. I hate being a girl.
I won't be. I don't like doing the things that girls do. I like doing the things that boys do. I
can climb better than any boy, and swim faster too. I can sail a boat as well as any
fisher-boy on this coast. You're to call me George. Then I'll speak to you. But I shan't if
you don't."
"Oh!" said Anne, thinking that her new cousin was most extraordinary. "All right! I don't
care what I call you. George is a nice name, I think. I don't much like Georgina. Anyway,
you look like a boy."

To give you an idea of how deranged the UK has become about gender stuff, here's Enid Blyton - the absolute avatar of classic English conservatism and a huge fan of racist "gollywogs" - casually describing a gender non-conforming kid in the 1940s and having their friends be totally cool with it.

A Pizza Hut ad that says “Tentacle Stuffed Crust” instead of “Original Stuffed Crust,” with a hand picking up a slice of stuffed-crust pizza, but there’s an octopus tentacle dangling out of the crust instead of cheese. I dunno, I should actually sleeping right now, but I couldn’t stop thinking about tentacle-stuffed-crust pizza.

Bilbo looking at his phone top

After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it?

You're absolutely right — you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.

This article provides the perfect view into React brain worms:

Instead of a native HTML input radio element

It’s somehow easier to import hundreds of lines of code, and implement a faux radio button (that’s actually a button with svg to LOOK LIKE A RADIO), and ARIA rules (to WORK LIKE A RADIO)

Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.

For the record, when I need facial plane reference, I use William Nguyen's models on ArtStation. They have adjustable primary and secondary lighting, and can be rotated to be viewed from every angle.
