I just realized that in my brain, "spit" can be both present AND past tense, depending on context.

And yet, "spat" exists as the obvious and explicit past tense.

Am I the only one?

Seeing lots of folks plug Mastodon with the tweeter news today.

Kicking myself for not getting the changes I've been working on for FeoBlog (https://github.com/nfnitloop/feoblog) out in time to plug it with a new version. 😣

But have been working on it recently!

@_Rohjay Me too. Chrome plugins work in Vivaldi. 😊 I used another similar plugin back when I used Firefox. Check their extensions site.

Vicarious conversation I'm "overhearing" $Bigcorp support drone:

User: "Hey, X doesn't work when $useCase."

BigCorp: "You are correct. You can't X with $useCase."

U: "Are there plans to fix that?"
B: "No, we can't do X because we don't do Y."

Society likes to pretend there's a gender binary when it's convenient but it also acknowledges at least two other genders, which are "not manly enough" and "not womanly enough" and it's delighted to shove people who refuse to conform into these boxes

I use this to disable JavaScript by default, and only enable it on certain sites. The web is so much less annoying this way.

Asked why New Zealand does not suffer from the rage of older white men like in other western Anglo countries, PM Jacinda Adern replied, "Because we've never allowed Rupert Murdoch to set up a media outlet here." The guy has wreaked havoc on civil society in US.

After 92% of House Republicans voted last night against capping insulin costs at $35/month, they are now on the House floor this morning railing against a bill that would legalize marijuana federally.

Stop voting for Republicans.

Here’s the way I see it: if your wife tried to help lead a coup, and if you’re a judge, or a Supreme Court justice, you shouldn’t be anywhere near ruling on cases about that coup.

Yes, Justice Clarence Thomas, I’m looking at you.

My friends company released raises/bonuses last week. She said she isn't even meeting inflation at this point. They said that's not a factor in increases.

She walked in and quit this morning. They asked, "So no 2 weeks?", she said I didn't factor that into my new start date 😂

If you’re looking for a dangerous Russian-born philosopher who inspired oligarchies around the world, that’d be Ayn Rand.

This is not meant as a dig at SQLite by the way. I feel like it's used everywhere and *still* under-appreciated. ❤️

@NfNitLoop ("Cody C. #BLM") wrote:

I'd come to the same conclusion before seeing this blurb in the SQLite documentation years ago, but its succinct understatement makes me reference it every now and then.

I can't begin to estimate the amount of time I've wasted because of things failing silently like this. 😣

@DreamingInCode Which part is ill-conceived?

The part I dislike is that if you log in to Google on the web, it ties that to your browser profile.

I recently switched to Vivaldi and have been enjoying that. Much more customizable UI & no snooping.

Congress must understand that a failure to hold Clarence Thomas accountable sends a loud, dangerous signal to the full Court - Kavanaugh, Barrett, & the rest - that his acts are fair game.

This is a tipping point. Inaction is a decision to erode and further delegitimize SCOTUS.

@RussellGlasser I don't remember chatting recently. Is my mind going, or were you thinking of someone else? 😊

I wrote one of these a while back as well. Was fun.

Couldn't figure out why some words took more than 6 guesses to win. Later found out I used ALL 5-letter words, not Wordle's list.

The *instant* my husband and I start to have a conversation, the cat comes and meows.

Not sure if it's because he feels left out, or because he knows one of us will pick him up and hold him while we chat.

But simultaneously he acts like he hates being held? 🤷‍♂️
