    Clear evidence that Charles Schulz wasn’t a child of the 1980s. Soccer only appears in 19 strips over 50 years of comics.

    This is how the Capitol was guarded when black people led protests against unjust killings by those in authority, lack of accountability & convictions, and to assert that black lives matter. The contrast with today’s protest against “fraud” is staggering Photo by:

    Kindred is kind of an outlier, as the most reviewed book on Goodreads but with only the 5th-least adverb usage. Dawn is also strange: the 3rd-most reviewed book but second-most adverbs (per 10k words). It's the first book in a trilogy, which might account for it being read more?

    Too many humanists think that Excel is the solution for their work since it makes things somewhat ordered and neat. What they really need much of the time is a real database. (But hey! Good on you for taking a step in that direction.)

    Mitch McConnell is blocking bipartisan aid. Any characterization of this situation as “Congress at an impasse” is a lie. There is a bipartisan, bicameral agreement. The President even wants something. The problem is McConnell. He’s blocking the deal.

    We cannot normalize how totally insane it is that Trump, 18 state AGs & 106 House Republicans still trying to overturn election 37 days after, when Biden won by 7 million votes, 306 electoral votes certified, Trump campaign lost 55 court cases & presented no evidence of fraud

    After 30 minutes of trawling websites, I got a bash command to iterate over a folder of 2600 images, processing them through ffmpeg and saving them in a different place. Does it get any better than this?

    Imagine being the party that engaged in various forms of voter suppression for years--purging voter rolls, closing polling sites, restricting early voting, even sabotaging the US mail-- but then still losing and having the nerve to complain that the *other* party somehow cheated.
