TikTok: fuck whatever you were just doing. All your Spotify playlists are now deleted. The time? You want to know the time?! We just killed your family. Keep scrolling, pussy.

This is (even more) aggro than I'd be about React (and, surprisingly, religion), but this line is the pure, uncut truth:

"React is useful for making complex interfaces like Facebook’s or for making otherwise simple interfaces, and their underlying codebases, complex like Facebook’s."

Christ on a cracker, @heydon; leave something for the rest of us!

You can play the CD on a variety of devices, as many times as you want, for free, forever.

The people who made the CD and player can't build a profile of what CDs you listen to.

CDs have full, lossless audio. They can perfectly represent any sound the human ear can perceive.

You don't lose access to your CDs if you stop paying a monthly subscription.

CDs are pretty dang great.

It's not really representative of most of their work, but I'm really diggin' this power ballad from Unleash the Archer's latest album. "Give it Up or Give it All":

(My ears tell me the compression is a bit much on that youtube recording, but they don't have it up on bandcamp as a preview. So you get what you get, and you don't throw a fit.)

“The group has devised a catalytic recycling process that breaks apart the chains of some of the more commonly used plastics — polyethylene and polypropylene — in such a way that the building blocks of those plastics can be used again...
The catalysts required for the reaction — sodium or tungsten — are readily available and inexpensive… early tests show the process is likely scalable at industrial levels. It uses no water and has fewer energy requirements than other recycling methods”

Looks like the Trump campaign is giving up on New Hampshire per the Boston Globe:
“Tom Mountain, who had served as one of several vice chairs for the former president’s effort in Massachusetts, wrote in an email to Trump volunteers in the state that “the campaign has determined that New Hampshire is no longer a battleground state,” and advised supporters to instead direct their attention to Pennsylvania. The GOP had been bullish about winning New Hampshire before President Biden dropped out of the race.

In the email, Mountain, a former official with the Massachusetts GOP, said Trump was “sure to lose by an even higher margin” in New Hampshire than in 2016 and 2020, citing “campaign data/research.” He claimed resources would be suspended and the campaign would not send Trump or high-profile surrogates such as his sons. The email was obtained by the Globe and confirmed with multiple recipients.”
(The volunteer who wrote the email has since been fired.)

BOOM! The #Harris #Walz campaign just released this statement in response to Donald Trump claiming that he has “every right” to interfere in elections. Share this everywhere!

• FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Sept 2, 2024 Statement on Donald Trump Claiming He Had ‘Every Right’ to Interfere With 2020 Election Last night in an interview with Fox News” Mark Levin, Donald Trump admitted to interfering with the 2020 presidential election and claimed he had “every right” to do it. Trump: “Whoever heard you get indicted for interfering with a presidential election where you have every right to do it, you get indicted & your poll numbers go up.” Reminder: After encouraging a violent insurrection on January 6 to overturn the results of the 2020 election, Trump has repeatedly defended January 6 rioters who attacked law enforcement officers. Trump has already claimed, without evidence, that the 2024 election is already “rigged” and has refused to say whether he will accept the 2024 election results. Harris-Walz 2024 Spokesperson Sarafina Chitika released the following statement: “Everything Donald Trump has promised on the campaign trail — from ‘terminating’ the Constitution, to imprisoning his political opponents and promising to rule as a dictator on ‘day one’ — makes it clear that he believes he is above the law. Now, Trump is claiming he had ‘every right’ to interfere in the 2020 election. He did not. “While Donald Trump is pushing his false history about the past, the American people are ready for a new way forward. They know Vice President Harris is the tough-as- nails prosecutor we need to turn the page on chaos, fear, and division, and uphold the rule of law.”
