Oh no democracy oh no
unhinged quote yesterday in chicago magazine
ALT If the General Assembly allows municipalities to opt in, would Chicago pass a referendum? Garvey is “horrified” at the prospect. She argues that a local vote would be stacked against landlords, since many reside outside the city. “The proportion of owners to renters is lopsided in Chicago, so if you allow the community to make up its own mind, it’s a real problem

This noise sensitivity gets worse with age, too. It’s hellish.

@Harkaway Sorry to be a bother - thought I'd mention that I tried to send a message through the submission box on your website, but nothing happens when I click 'send' so I suspect messages may not be getting through.

Chrome will start *doing stuff* to your permanently open tabs, thanks to its new "Memory Saver" feature. The good news is that you can control it.

Green up pointing triangles are sharp enough to cut jobs, apparently. What happens if you use blue ones?

No, I’m pretty sure his heir is @Harkaway :V
Even before John le Carré died, about two years ago, people had started calling Mick Herron his heir. But in crafting his characters, Herron draws as much from P. G. Wodehouse as from le Carré. nyer.cm/U5probP

Not far from where I was born. Some researchers speculate that I am actually a chunk of irradiated blubber that remained in orbit for some years after the detonation, then fell to earth and was mistaken for a particularly hideous baby.
#OTD in 1970, the Oregon Highway Division consulted with the U.S. Navy and decided the best way to dispose of a whale carcass was to blow it up with a 1/2 ton of dynamite. The explosion caused blubber to rain down on spectators for over a 1/4 of a mile. The TV segment is classic.

That's not what the letter says and not what its intent was. it's meant to shore up the left flanks of dem voting by generating some 'dems support negotiations' headlines that presumably will push some people on the fence who were worried about escalation to decide to vote.

As a security professional, I think this is an incredibly bad idea - it would only enable abuses of power. Also, the ID dataset itself would be an attractive nuisance wrt foreign threat actors.
So far I’ve blocked a dozen fake abusive accounts with fewer than 18 followers this morning. It’s time we ended online anonymity.

STEEL FRAME was exceptional in manifold ways - a surprisingly introspective and humanist novel about giant robot carrier flight deck operations. I am practically beside myself with excitement about the sequel.
So, I got some news
The follow up to my debut novel STEEL FRAME, is coming soon.
ORIGIN COMPLEX
The record of the final voyage of the dreadnought Demiurge, tale of the bleak tides that swallowed it whole.

Look at these ableist pricks
We are running a fun health program at @zerodha. Anyone on our team with BMI <25 gets half a month's salary as bonus. The avg BMI of our team is 25.3 & if we can get to <24 by Aug, everyone gets another ½ month as a bonus. It'd be fun to compete with other companies 😁 1/3
