Adam Schiff on disqualifying Trump from running:
“The 14th Amendment, Section 3 is pretty clear
“If you engage in acts of insurrection or rebellion against the government, or you give aid and comfort to those who do, you are disqualified from running”
This should apply to every single republican who aided the insurrection and the big lie.

“Thirty-seven thousand blacks, the great majority from the South, perished in the Union Army, as did tens of thousands more in contraband camps, on Confederate Army labor gangs, and in disease-ridden urban shantytowns. Nearly 260,000 men died for the Confederacy—over one-fifth of the South’s adult white male population. The region, moreover, was all but bankrupt, for the collapse of Confederate bonds and currency wiped out the savings of countless individuals and the resources and endowments of colleges, churches, and other institutions.”

Yesterday, after months of working up courage to even start, researching examples online, scouting local frame shops, trying to come up with a nice looking layout, ordering wrong frames, giving up on finding non-stupid mounting hardware… I actually finished it.
The wife says it was worth it, which means it was worth it.

Well, there it is.
It has probably been a whole year since the moment when I decided to add some more photos to the picture wall in our house, realized I couldn't find matching frames, and my wife casually mentioned to me an option of assembling a collage out of non-matching ones. (cont.)

I've been wondering if there is an emotional equivalent to the shepard tone.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shepard_tone
You know, internal emotional states that we experience as continually rising or falling (more likely) but that in reality are probably just the same set of emotional "notes" getting sloshed around our noggins (not to get too technical). :thonking:

The Reaganomics trickle down scam has redistributed $50T from bottom 90% to top 1%.
If the minimum wage increased with inflation & corporate productivity it’d be $26/hr today.
Corporations annually steal $15B from workers and face zero meaningful accountability.
Think about these facts next time you hear an exploitative CEO of a blue collar retail store complain “People just don’t want to work anymore.”

@adnan @bcantrill Absolutely. Back in the day Sun ran a contest, "Try before you buy". Get a machine (an Ultra 60, IIRC), for 60 days shipped to you free.
Blog about something interesting you did with it, enter the contest, and maybe win the machine.
I instrumented Sendmail with DTrace, evaluating different queuing strategies (along with a comparison of Solaris and FreeBSD on the machine). Found a sendmail bug along the way, and won the contest.

Thanks Bryan
Mastodon FeedI have mixed feelings about the #Foubdation show on #AppleTV. I want to like it, but I'm 1.5 seasons in, and feel like nothing has happened.
They keep introducing new characters, new plotlines, new timelines, without concluding anything.
It's like every episode is a pilot episode for a new show.

I see a lot of people sharing blanket condemnations of all of those who still remain on #Twitter / #Xitter , and I need you to slow down a bit.
Sure, in some cases this is justified - journalists should really know better. But there are a lot of communities on that platform that are vital to many people's well-being that _haven't_ been replicated on the #Fediverse or elsewhere. Take #BlackTwitter - while #BlackMastodon is growing, it's still minuscule in comparison. The number of Twitter users in #Pakistan is staggering, while they are only a handful on #Mastodon . And so on, and so forth. Twitter was a lifeline to many marginalized people, and it still is - even though it gets worse every day - and we need to recognize this.
As a white European guy, it was easy for me to walk away from Twitter (I still have an account there, but I only post "you should go to Mastodon" stuff these days) - since it is easy to find people of a similar background to interact with. But this is NOT true for everyone!
So I'd like everyone to show a bit less contempt to the remaining Twitter users in general, and put some more effort in how to make the Fediverse friendlier to marginalized voices. Because there is MUCH work to be done here!

Labor Day reminder: If the min wage increased at the rate of inflation & productivity since 1960 it'd be $26 today—not $7.25. Meaning—billionaires & corps have stolen at least $19/hour from working Americans for 60 years.
That’s generational theft from the working class to keep people in poverty.
We don't suffer a lack of resources—but an excess of greed.
