We're almost to the point where billionaires start genetically engineering dragons for lulz, but not quite yet.

Alls I know is that Sheryl Sandberg, Ronda Rousey, or any given member of the US Women's National Soccer Team is way more competitive, aggressive, and violent than a wiener like me will ever be. Yes, but you recognize that because they are competitive, aggressive and violent in stereotypically male...

My conclusion, judging from what I see online, is that the more performatively feminist a man is the more likely it is he's a sexual predator. It's catnip for sociopathic guys who want to abuse women. So basically the wokelib version of the rabid anti-gay preacher who gets caught balls deep in a re...

She's pretty great.

I've got her, Myrkur, and Esben & the Witch on one playlist. It works pretty well.

My conclusion, judging from what I see online, is that the more performatively feminist a man is the more likely it is he's a sexual predator.

I'm up to 8-10 weird robocalls a day on my cell phone. I finally had to change the setting to "Boot unrecognized numbers to voice mail".

This. If you can’t sleep well, your entire life will become suffering and madness.

I burned the back side of my elbow on a heat gun doing Halloween decorations. I was previously unacquainted with 2d degree burns. This is annoying as hell, and not helped by the fact I have to use a mirror or my phone to actually see what is happening with it.

I interpreted that to mean Stallman, since he has apparently resigned from MIT.

Doesn't matter what the House does, no way the Senate votes for impeachment. Of course, I am a shitty political prognosticator with a very low correct percentage. So if they do impeach Trump, then we get President Pence. Has anybody really thought that one through? Trump is not , for all his faults,...

The school won’t let the kids walk to the cars because safety. But they will, if you consent, let your kid walk or ride his bike home... because safety? HISD, as near as I can tell, does not offer bus service for the most part. So between the cluelessness of the school staff and the entitled parents...

Christ, but these Montessori hippies can’t run a school pick-up line worth a rat’s ass. The ghetto school across the way where the tr0gling was last year was bastly more organized than these clowns.

Everybody in my house but me (so far, knock on wood) has a lifelong incurable condition that requires medication. Unfortunately, it's medication with a "high potential for abuse". So that means I can't get anything more than 30 days worth at a time. So once a month, somebody has to schlep on over to...

We have a City Council member who is finally term limited out after a scrolling years in office. The world is gunning for this seat. One candidate is using a green skyline for her logo and is named Mary Jane Smith. She seems tailor-made to be the 420 candidate, but no, bog standard stealth republica...

This is horribly cynical of me (big surprise) but some of these goobers know, in their heart of hearts, they aren’t gonna be the nom. They also know they aren’t getting the VP slot, a cabinet position, or any other of the usual rewards from the party. This suggests they are in it for personal enrich...

So we went browsing at the 99 Ranch Market yesterday. We picked up a bunch of cup o’ noodles things just for fun. One was mostly labeled in chinese and we missed the ‘Szechuan’ on it. Boy, them people ain’t playing when they doing it for the home team and not toning it down for the white boys.

I have given people speeds in furlongs per fortnight before. If I ask you what units you want your answer in, don’t tell me to pick. I have MathCad and a weird sense of humor.

Justin Raimondo, dead at 67 from lung cancer.

It's better than "chicken chaser."

Ah, Jasper, please, when we're around children we prefer to call him the Chickenlover.

So, I need (for stupid reasons I'm not getting into) to install linux on an old box. I need a graphical interface, a VPN and a web browser. What's my best bet for a distro in terms of least fuss/muss? When setup, it will be used by the borderline technically illiterate.

At any rate math is not "culturally constructed" and even if nothing is "timeless, universal & true" that doesn't mean everything is equally true. There's only few things I'm going to cling to bitterly when it comes to knowable facts about the universe, but the three laws of thermodynamics and most...
