Good morning to readers; #Kyiv remains in #Ukrainian hands.

During the war, human trafficking has become more common. #Ukrainians who flee the country for safety are more likely to be lured into danger.

Every day, Nelia takes calls from #survivors, guiding them to safety. https://www.counteroffensive.news/p/how-war-is-a-boon-to-traffickers

Nan Pierce decided to sell her liberal media empire to the highest right-wing bidder before the Roy kids even landed on her helipad.

Not to save democracy, not to preserve journalism's integrity, but to further enrich herself; to close the deal before her company loses any more value. So, she puts on a show— for her daughter, her political adversaries, for herself.

In s4e1 "The Munsters," Nan Pierce feigns agony over the billion-dollar bidding war unfolding in her sunroom. It is my favorite bit of Nan-Theatre of the series:

"Oh, I don’t like this. It makes me feel like I’m in the middle of a bidding war. Horrible. Different people saying different numbers. Eight, nine. What’s next?"

Choosing Roman to clock Nan for her bullshit is perfect:

Okay, as much as I enjoyed the Ember heated mug I bought some years back when I was more willing to spend frivolously, I kind of like the $22 mug warmer plate I bought as a “replacement” even more.

See normally when an algorithm requires The Entire Global Supply Of Ram, a software engineer would consider that not a good algorithm, and would try and make a better one instead of optimising the entire planet for paperclip manufacturing.

Unfortunately we accidentally gave a bad software engineer too much money

c code really does seem to resist any attempts to model it as proper data.

compilers ironically have less of a problem because they can work on the macro-resolved language and build for a single target.

Just one trans woman's opinion, but I hold that the ideal way to recover from accidentally misgendering a person and being called out is to simply repeat the sentence, corrected. No apologies (or just a quick "sorry" or "pardon" if it flows), no justifications. It happens. We get it. Nobody's looking to shame anyone, only correct a mistake before it perpetuates.

B: "They"
A: "And then they told me that they wanted to meet me at this coffee shop..."

downside: may break it, can't afford another, so would be stuck with whatever shit mouse from the junk box
