Bloody hell, finally, I think I’m done with the Markdown support rewrite in Kitten.

The Markdown rule for interpreting four spaces as code fences has been the biggest pain in my neck during this whole ordeal but, bitching aside, it means the parser is now more accurate and thus stronger for it.

If all goes well, expect a Monday release :)

For the Guard from WV and OH and wherever, it might be useful to put together fliers to hand out, describing that they've been moved from their families and regular jobs bc a single guy who accessed their private data was assaulted by unarmed teenagers.

Trump has made no comment. The White House has found the time to post a video of the arrest of that guy who threw a sandwich at a cop, but nothing about a cop killed defending the government's own employees.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, whose district includes parts of Atlanta, has also said nothing.

CDC leadership also hasn’t been very communicative. To be fair to them, their staff who would would have dealt with this situation were mostly fired by DOGE.

So my fellow civil servants at the CDC feel abandoned. They are hated with a murderous rage and no one cares.

You know why CDC has blast-proof windows? A response to the Oklahoma city bombing, in 1995. That's how long the American right wing has been mass-killing federal workers.

The bombing followed the Gingrich Revolution of 1994, when hatred of government workers rushed into the political mainstream.

Mamadani won the NYC Democratic primary & Jeffries, Schumer, & Gillibrand won’t endorse him.

Omar Fateh won the Democratic Party endorsement for Minneapolis mayor & Tim Walz won’t endorse him.

Bowman & Bush were the Democratic incumbents & the Dem Party let AIPAC take them out.

"Vote blue no matter who" always meant "vote blue as long as they're corporate centrists." Is it any wonder the party has a 26% approval rating?

‘Police arrested 13 people at a protest in #Norfolk on Saturday on suspicion of showing support for the proscribed group Palestine Action.

A group assembled outside City Hall in St Peters Street, #Norwich, holding placards referencing the organisation, Norfolk police said. The force said they were arrested on suspicion of displaying an item in support of a proscribed organisation, contrary to section 13 of the Terrorism Act 2000.’

Where will this end?

To kind of summarize some of the recent #Bluesky drama. Yesterday Bluesky changed their Terms of Service to require binding arbitration. Users are unhappy, but there's nothing they can do about it because Bluesky is not decentralized and there is no place they can go. Today, Bluesky banned a user for wishing ill of J.K. Rowling for her anti-trans hate. Users are very unhappy, but there's nothing they can do about it because Bluesky is not decentralized and there is no place they can go.

Get it?

I had a thought, maybe I should add "Knight Emeritus of the Eastern Calculus" to my profile blurb. But then I read it and it cannot be improved. There is nothing to add and nothing to take away.

The existence of The Knights of the Eastern Calculus (obviously "λ") implies the existence of the Pages of the Western Arithmetic (obviously "cat sed tr").

@20after4 @henryk If so, they should have no trouble publishing these bombshell findings in a reputable, peer-reviewed journal, which will make them famous and give significant weight to their claims. Weird that they haven’t done that, isn’t it?

The essential question I have for these people is “Did you believe (or even understand) these statistical theories when Trump was peddling them after the 2020 election? If not, what makes them valid after the 2024 election, other than your unhappiness with the outcome this time around?”
