The question of whether CSS is a programming language serves only one purpose: to demote those who write it.
There is no confusion that needs to be clarified, and no other purpose to the debate beyond the most trivial kind of pedantry.
The debate itself is an act of gatekeeping, whether intentional or not. Its only meaningful effect is to elevate some work over other work, despite their essentially identical nature.
The only meaningful function of the question is segregation. #css

It’s just been pointed out to me that the reason Apple runs a trade-in programme for older devices is so they can reduce the size of the used market, and has fuck all to do with recycling.
That’s blown my tiny mind.

"Taking this case on its own terms as a business records case offers a different and arguably more convincing way to defend its legitimacy… Mr. Trump was a businessman for many years in New York long before he was president. If others would be prosecuted for this conduct and no man is above the law, then he should be, too."

"Michael Dorf, a law professor at Cornell, said that “the apparent lack of self-awareness on the part of some of the conservative justices was startling.” He noted that “Justice Alito worried about a hypothetical future president attempting to hold onto power in response to the risk of prosecution, while paying no attention to the actual former president who held onto power and now seeks to escape prosecution.”"

I mainly know M83 from their excellent "Before the Dawn Heals Us" that I happened to stumble across in a Borders long ago and then promptly shared with everybody that I knew.

I haven't kept up with what they've done since, but if this KEXP performance is any indication, the answer is they've continued to be excellent. So if you're looking for a blanket of thick sound to wrap yourself in, check 'em out.

I just want to make sure there's a clear distinction between a note and an essay. The latter I spend a lot of time on and try to be as thoughtful on the point I'm trying to make. A note is more "oh this thing I noticed is interesting and may or may not be something j explore."

Lately I've been waiting until I have a polished essay before I post to my blog. I think I'll start posting more "notes" in between— 200-500 words on a topic or observation that does not necessarily have a big point, ya know?
What do you think?

(The jokerless is optional, really. But it still counts as one of the 20 challenges in the game, and it really shouldn't. Balatro jokerless is like trying to beat a Mario game without jumping, or trying to win a chess game starting with only pawns. It's obviously just a big fuck you and it severely irritates me when that kind of thing sits right alongside reasonable, normal game content.)

I love Balatro. Love it. But the jokerless challenge absolutely ruins the game for me.
I hate it when stupid masochistic RNG grinding challenges actually count for something. Just make that shit for bragging rights. I want to play the game, not make myself miserable endlessly restarting a near-hopeless scenario that sucks all the fun out of the game.

Because of climate crisis, polar bears are migrating as their environments are melting.They're encountering grizzly bears, and the two are mating - creating a polar-grizzly bear hybrid called either a Grolar or a Pizzly bear (depending on which parent is which).
Grolar and Pizzly bears are SUPER aggressive, and Pizzly bears are fertile.

And when the U.S. catches a cold, the world gets a fever.
