'Ron DeSantis has reversed his position on Ukraine, after facing widespread criticism for calling the Russian invasion a “territorial dispute”... the Florida governor and probable contender for the Republican presidential nomination said his “territorial dispute” remark had been “mischaracterised”.'
hah! right.

Also, I know this scene before it has some stereotypes, but I have absolutely experienced these characters in real life before, and perhaps even been one of them at some point. *ahem*

Watching this montage of the 80s equivalent of "googling" and feeling strangely nostalgic.

(Obviously this would only make sense to a small group of people, possibly a group of one.)

It's easy from the perspective of post-rural-america to forget how oppressive the stultifying internal logic of "we don't believe that" is.
My mistrust of most media reports about the revanchist base are grounded in understanding about how ranks-closing the overlapping faiths are. Politics might have been separable in the 50s, in some places, where that was forced...but now? There's no gravity to respectability. Buckley is truly dead and gone.

this math is this simple and dumb all the way down. None of this is non-linear because the browser will do all the unicode magic underneath you. And even if it doesn't, you don't need to fsck UTF-8 normies for the benefit of everyone else.
What is happening? How did this regress so badly?

We need to talk about GitHub 2023.
Why is "line wrap" somehow beyond the pale?
It's 2023. Calculating the single-digraph width of a Unicode charachter on the client side is (checks math) the cost of a single layout. Why is it possible to have a view that cannot wrap this for me when the math is `shouldoverflow = ((char_width * chars) / viewport_width) > 1`
