Will there be another event coming up?

Ah, I read this as, "caught it from an unvaccinated kid." If one could prove that one's child died from contagion spread by an unvaccinated child, then one would assume some kind of legal liability would result, although a tort claim would be hard, as would meeting the BRD burden in a criminal case.

My first thought was "this would make an interesting wrongful death suit," but damages would be a problem. We'll probably have to start prosecuting parents for this stuff, but that's also going to be a tough burden of proof.

Go watch the film-within-a-film in Inglorious Basterds again. You know, the one that is just shooting people for 2 hours. Then rewatch 300. It's obviously fascist cinema.

Constitutional Court of Korea - Wikipedia

The Korean constitution makes it very easy to do this, with a second high court - the Constitutional Court - established in part specifically to handle impeachments. Presidents are limited to single five-year terms. I'm kind of a fan.

Okay this is super weird, but I just went to create alt text solely to create a screenshot so I could show you want I mean, and now it's in a different place and I can do it. Sorry, everyone! I guess it's fixed now.

No, this is after the keyboard is minimized. The save button is at the very bottom, behind the collapse screen button.

No. The BSky app doesn't do landscape. I tried!

Yeah, BlueSky just needs to update its app so that the save button is in a different place.

The button to save the alt text is at the center bottom of the phone screen. On a Galaxy phone, that's a "collapse screen" button that minimizes the app, so I literally can't save alt text - it just makes the app disappear. It's a design flaw that doesn't work on Galaxy phones.

When I try to add alt text, the "save" button appears directly beneath my "collapse screen" button, making it impossible to provide alt text.

Before Dreher went completely batshit, he used to bring up Haidt pretty often as a "centrist." I read Haidt's book on the conservative mind, and wondered if this psychologist had ever considered that people might engage in bad-faith motivated reasoning. Kind of an odd oversight.

I've not only had a lychee, I've had lychee martinis, and they are proof God loves us and wants us to live in Vancouver.

Unfortunately, I have not actually published any Three Amigos Fan Fiction. That was... ah... wishful thinking.

I assure you, there is nothing funny about history's greatest musical genius murdering his rivals because he got dragged in the YouTube comments section following his meltdown on American Idol, where he was a guest judge.

Thank you! You wouldn't happen to work for a Big 5 publisher, would you?

I promise you that however insane you think this sounds... it is insaner.

"The Decomposer" title, in which the "D" forms a dagger, the "o" forms a target, the "p" contains a noose, and the "r" is in the shape of an old-timey pistol. Mozart stands in the foreground, reaching for an axe. The background is sheet music for a symphony.

I saw that images are supposed to have alt text: I cannot seem to do this, because the "save" button for alt text appears directly behind the "collapse screen" button on my phone. Awkward! How important is this "alt-text" rule? Would a thread, with the text below, suffice?

How am I supposed to provide alt text on images if the "save" button appears directly underneath the "collapse screen" button on my phone? I use a Galaxy S10. This seems like a problem.
