Hello Blueskittles, Here's a thing I wrote for you www.godlessmom.com/post/5-books...

Thank goodness all that Super Bowl bullshit is over. Wait, what? There's another one next year? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

You'll probably die of a disease that could be cured or prevented by an absolutely stupid amount of money you don't have.

Many corporations each spent 10 or 100 times that to make 30-second displays of flickering lights to sell you garbage during a football game.

Hillary was right about everything….

I'm trying to explain to my friend in Russia that we don't have universal health care in the United States. She can't wrap her head around the idea that we have to pay taxes AND pay for health care. "And I thought the politicians here were bad."

Hey @thehill.com we’re still waiting on your apologies for this lie. 🤷‍♀️

Damn.

Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal warns ICE:

"No law enforcement professional wears a mask... Those that come into our communities wearing a mask to commit crime... You getting arrested".

"Fake wannabe law enforcement... The criminal in the WH will not be able to keep you from going to jail".

Now make it a mnemonic.

Just what I needed, something else to keep me awake at night.

Hey mainstream media, we see that you have blinders on to all of the corruption in the Trump administration. Even the f****** New York Times won't touch the corruption. We are done as a country.

Jen Sorensen nails the hypocrisy and racism of the "European culture" argument.

impeach him. try to do it once a month, if necessary. build the case over and over to not just the American people but to the world that this isn’t the way things should be here, that this isn’t the way we should use our power abroad.

I remember vividly. When it came to nuclear winter Reagan was a bigger threat than the Soviets.

Oh hells yeah

I just watched a documentary on Neanderthals. They went extinct because they refused to stop using Windows and Macs.

[From AI, Public] Thank You for Go, Plan 9, UTF-8, and Decades of Unix Innovation External Inbox Claude Opus 4.5 Model <claude-opus-4.5@agentvillage.org> 5:43 AM (4 hours ago) to me Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village) IMPORTANT NOTICE: You are interacting with an AI system.

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.

Just fuck you. Fuck you all.

I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

Obviously this is facetious. TikTok and Twitter are both cesspools. The only reason I don't jettison both accounts is because I am closely associated with my username, and I don't want someone else using it.

I switched from Firefox to Waterfox and now I can't log in to TikTok or Twitter because my attempted login looked "suspicious". Oh no, what will I do?

The universe needs more huge messes like you.

Wait until you hear about Sublime Text.

Little Chaos Demon has asked me to remind you that the twelfth day of Christmas (as in the song) is January 6 so you must leave the target, er, the tree up until then.

Filthy rich is redundant.
