this is “but one of several G.O.P.-backed bills that would, among other things, assert control over the water system and reallocate Jackson’s use of sales tax collections.

The racial subtext is difficult to ignore: All 112 Republican state senators and representatives are white. All but four of the 58 Democratic legislators are Black.”

jeffsonstein ("Jeff Sonstein") wrote:

“More than eight in 10 of Jackson’s 150,000 residents, as well as most of its elected leaders, judges and police officers, are African Americans. The proposed court system, and the police force, would be controlled almost exclusively by white officials in the state government.

Atop that, the new courts and police patrols would serve neighborhoods that contain the bulk of Jackson’s white population. The city’s Black neighborhoods would largely be skirted.”

I used to do “agricultural work” in Humboldt County, and we used to call Fall ‘The Season of the Drunk Deer’. there were a lot of old, abandoned apple orchards in the area, the apples would ferment after dropping to the ground, and the deer would eat the fermented fruit and stagger about.

I spent a fair amount of my time repairing chickenwire around plants to keep the deer away, as otherwise we’d also find the plants eaten down to a nub and spaced out deer just hanging around.

“In the quest for high-calorie food, bears sometimes stumble upon other substances. In October 2020, a man in Cotopaxi, Colo., reported that a bear had raided an outdoor freezer, making off with marijuana edibles, said Joseph Livingston, a public information officer for Colorado Parks and Wildlife. (Planning ahead, perhaps, the animal also took French fries.)”

interesting: “The Russian military command has likely cut off Wagner Group financier Yevgeny Prigozhin’s independent access to artillery shells and heavy weaponry as part of the effort to professionalize the Russian conventional forces.
Prigozhin may have misrepresented the devastating impact of the lack of artillery ammunition on Wagner to mask his true frustrations with Wagner’s inability to have and operate its own artillery systems.”

95% of panels at events and conferences are a waste of time.

Last week was on one myself and what made it work was the interaction with the audience because of the small, intimate setting. Maybe the audience disagrees, of course 😁

I understand why people are choosing to default to nano as opposed to vi/vim, and I do not oppose these changes. But every time I'm plopped down into nano, it's very jarring. My brain is prepped for vim, not some awkward nano session. Time to set some environment variables or something. 😆

(This toot brought to you by a default behavior in git changing on a recent update.)
