I like you.

Rarely have I seen anyone who is so legitimately entitled to be smug.

I wish him a speedy recovery. May he ticket again soon.

Becoming cat furniture is a noble calling.

Yes. I, my wife, and several friends have had intermittent problems with long-delays in message delivery. In some of those cases, neither of the phones involved moved, which rules out most of the common explanations. I’ve considered disabling RCS entirely, but a recent move to Signal has made this less of an issue.

Any cat takes a lot of patience. A cat that’s been living wild is going to be scared at being trapped and will be harder to befriend. Give it some space and some time to adjust. Move slowly and speak gently. Offer food and treats on a regular basis. The cat will eventually decide you’re okay.

If you haven’t already, I recommend you talk with a vet and with your local SPCA or Humane Society. They can give you a lot of useful advice about the details.

You’re a good person. Don’t get discouraged. It will get better.

That is one of the saddest things I’ve heard today.

I’m running a media server with 90 TB of storage across a bunch of drives. Having a case that can handle 16 full-sized drives, plus 4 SSDs is a game changer.

Thorin has excellent taste in cases. And in boxes. All-in-all, a remarkable cat.

(I have their Meshify XL case.)

Americans do have a spine. The problem is that too many of them are no longer connected by functioning brains. Those spines are what elected Trump.

I did not know about that. Time for me to do some reading. Thanks for your post!

I have thought for years that we needed more political parties in this countries, but the current system makes it almost impossible for them to hold any real power.

What’s needed is a takeover of the Democratic party. The Republicans did it, for evil. We could do it for good.

The practical problem is that Citizens United gives the super-rich most of the power. It would take a very large-scale populist movement to push them out and take back control.

Bernie is a national treasure. And no one who hears him speak will wonder about whether his mind is still sharp.

The perfect quote from “The Newsroom”:

Will : “The only reason I seem liberal is because I believe hurricanes are caused by high barometric pressure not gay marriage.”

I’m pretty sure he realizes it. What he doesn’t want is for everyone else to realize it too.

I’ve been a Washington Post subscriber for almost a decade. I just cancelled.

Now I need to figure out which independent news organizations that money should go to instead.

That is a life well spent.

Possibly the best line of dialog ever spoken from a movie screen.

Well, clearly, their executive team all need to be in the office. Their actual workers can be trusted to work from home.
