“Mr. Trump spoke with journalists by phone while pretending to be a spokesman representing himself, in order to leak information about his business or his personal life. He claimed to have dated women who denied being involved with him. He claimed that he lived on the 66th through 68th floors of Trump Tower, which in fact has only 58 floors.

Reaching the presidency did not lead to a change in his habits.”

‘Representative Gary Palmer of Alabama, the chairman of the Republican Policy Committee, called the indictment a “criminalization of disinformation and misinformation, which raises serious concerns about the public’s right to speak openly in opposition to policies they oppose.”’

yes, “[Disinformation] false information that is intended to manipulate, cause damage, or guide people, organizations, and countries in the wrong direction… [and Malinformation] … information that stems from the truth but is often exaggerated in a way that misleads and causes potential harm” are often criminal, Herr Palmer.

Have you been a victim of catsplaining? You pour the food and suddenly "meow". You stop petting and "meow". The door is closed, "meow". You open the door, "meow".

Everything you do is wrong and their catsplaining doesn't help at all!

The CSS feature `@​container style()` is pretty neat!

Are you familiar with `@​mixin` in Sass? It's a little bit like that.

  1. Declare a chunk of CSS you want to re-use
  2. Set a --custom-property to trigger it

@jsonstein I go out to the Mojave Preserve multiple times every year. I was really bummed out by the (Cima) Dome fire a couple of years back. And now this.

When out among the Joshua trees it is hard to conceive of them as a forest - but they are - and that fire could run wild through them - but it does.

For the most part I'm really liking the plot of Nik's route, but the stuff about miners clamoring for justice isn't really supported by Sam's time in the mines. The miners don't seem to know Sam was spotted nearby, so because of where it happened, suspicion should naturally fall on other miners.

There IS a guy they suspect of trying to get other miners hurt, but they don't accuse him of the original murder. They don't even bring it up.
