The strong longing and wishing for ones’ children to have their own children and to be able to manifest the affection and express the feelings of endearment inspired by having grandchildren, mixed with the simultaneous fear of knowing the life your grandchildren will inherit will be radically different than the present one, and perhaps filled with untold suffering as climate change accelerates and drastically alters the Earth.

I'm thrilled to support Harris.
Just one thing: Trump isn't going to stop hammering on his opponent's weaknesses (real or imagined), and the media isn't going to stop unquestioningly parroting him in an obvious double standard.
So maybe we *don't* help them out so much this time, eh?
In November I want to see us standing behind our candidate—and I think we will—not wringing our hands over whatever MAGA talking point the NYT laundered into quasi-journalism.

the Joint Statistical Meetings, a huge conference, will be here in Portland in _TWO WEEKS_. I finally took a look at the schedule, and I will be running around going to a million sessions starting Sunday afternoon.
(also the online schedule doesn't let you save sessions, so good luck trying to be organized)
Do I know anyone who will be there? Can you boost so that I might meet fedi-folk who should be in my professional circle?

The transition of virtually any code base in the world to safer, better languages, such as Rust, is not a matter of “if”, it’s a matter of “when”.
Putting aside the White House recently identifying unsafe languages as a national security risk, there is also the fact that all software will become strictly unmaintanable in a decade simply because the most skilled people in the upcoming generation will not be competing for C++ jobs, they’ll be competing for Rust jobs!
This is why Linus Torvalds actually admitted that the main reason for introducing Rust into the Linux kernel is actually in order to enfranchise younger talent! Look it up.
The transition to Rust for all the world’s kernels, drivers, microcontrollers and more isn’t going to be just motivated by safety concerns (themselves already more than enough), but also by the fact that if you don’t transition, you won’t have the best engineers, today in their teens, willing to work for you in ten years to carry your stack into the future. You will therefore open up your entire empire to being replaced by the upstarts that will actually take these engineers in and let them shine.

There's grass to the left, and the stone corner of the grave on the right: the hamster has very round ears, a black belly, and orange and white fur. Meidling cemetery, Vienna, 2021.

“The Convention Rules Might Decide” - POLITICO
“…the pledged delegates [have] become free agents. They are under no obligation to follow whatever preferences Biden may express — whether endorsing his vice president or calling for an open convention with a “mini-primary” to decide his replacement on the ticket.
What happens at this point is up to the convention itself, which always has the power to adopt, amend or discard existing rules.”

Two things are still true:
If enough Black people in swing states re-check their registration, and sign up for mail-in voting, early voting, or ballot drop off, then Biden can't lose.
The Dem party has spent significantly more time, money, effort, and attention, trying to get Kamala Harris out of the Whitehouse, than it has spent registering Black voters in swing states or telling them about mail-in voting or early voting. 🤡
The "despair" is unnecessary and self-inflicted.

Here's my latest artwork, an artcade machine named "Insert 25 Cents to Feel Something." If you pay up, it shows you a cat picture on its bulbous, flickering screen, and plays you a silly song with meowing.

- A boxy blue vending machine with a coin slot and a bulbous screen, labelled "Insert 25 Cents to Feel Something. Tired? No pep? Feet hurt? 'Step Up' for a 'Pick Up'! A tonic - a real treat." All of this hand-painted lettering is a bit worn-looking, and the machine's paint job suggests it has been outside for a long time. In the video, a hand feeds it a quarter and a still photo of a mid-meow kitten appears, in flickering, projector-like fashion. A vintage song also plays, singing about kitties and making meowing sounds. (remote)
