shyeeah. right.

…lap dog’s going to do whatever his handler commands…

HOLY HELL.

…i should clarify: upgrades from windows 7/8 were free…

…windows 10 was free to a lot of people; it’s a pretty solid OS and i’d be happy to pay a fair price for ongoing support…

…what about amber displays?..our VT-200 terminals were green, yes, but our lab full of packard-bells were amber…

^{(or my applecolor monitor 100 which could toggle between monochrome green and full color modes)}

Don’t you think he looks tired?

Don’t you think he looks tired?

…here’s the thing most folks don’t realise: as a metropolitan area, austin skews far more conservative than san antonio…

_{(we actually meet in the basement of the alamo)}

As a European, the whole registering to vote thing is honestly one of the wildest parts of the US elections to me. It’s so unnecessary complicated and prone to errors/manipulation.

…what the electorate consider a bug the politicians consider a feature…

…so you’ve never played waverace: that’s the look of the brightly-lit tropical island environment for the first course, which immediately shifts a hazy muted marsh on the second course, then a stormy industrial-port waterfront, then a spectacular urban night course, each presenting entirely different takes on ambient lighting, dominant environmental color pallets, and even water and atmospheric weather conditions…

…hey now, herpes was his own personal vietnam…

…i’ve done a buck fourty-five in my convertible with the top down: it’s LOUD…at one fifty-five, pushing with all two hundred horsepower, my car can’t make any further headway against the wind and buildings are a lot less aerodynamically efficient…

…i’ve ridden out a half-dozen hurricanes but category fives are get-out-of-town devastating…

…man, CNN jumped the f*cking shark way back during gulf war ONE; they haven’t merited the presumption of legitimate journalism for three decades…

…lest we forget: our global anthem…

…our orange kitty does the same, but he’s the smartest cat we’ve ever known: perfectly adept at opening doors on his own, so we must keep them all deadbolted lest we find wild critters brought into the house, which has happened on several occasions…

(he’s also pretty good at operating our ipads and desktop computers; he’s sent gibberish text-messages more than once and i worry that someday he’ll buy something online!)

…taylor swift’s public statement was a well-considered cogent refutation of false endorsements posted by the trump campaign, one which pointedly resonates your position and likely merits substantially more respect than you realise…

…all that and you don’t even mention that he’s been an open russian asset for eight years?..

…the blunt truth is that he’s in too deep, as are most of the remaining republican party, and the only way to keep their heads at this point is to double-down on seizing the apparatus of state to dismiss their criminal culpability…

…four police officers could handle a bernie rally; the other seventy-two were probably to manage the fascists trolling for trouble outside…

…how the unholy f*ck el paso ever hosted his rally after that racist shot up the place, i will never understand…

…ah, i may be conflating contextal menus with opening new tabs, since that’s the primary UI mode i use to do so: regardless, any kind of shenanigans which aim to disable application-level UI get under my skin…

…and now you’ve hit upon my other peeve: (mostly shopping) sites coded to disable browsing links in a new tab…
