I can't express how happy it makes me feel to see politicians who actually believe in things and will stand for them winning big.

Bill Clinton tweet:
Throughout his long career in public service, Dick Cheney was guided by a deep belief that he was doing what was right for America. Though we often disagreed, I always respected his dedication to our country and his unwavering sense of duty. My thoughts are with Lynne and the Cheney family.

Joe Biden tweet:
@JoeBiden
Guided by a strong set of conservative values, Dick Cheney devoted his life to public service — from representing Wyoming in Congress, to serving as Secretary of Defense, and later as Vice President of the United States. While we didn’t agree on much, he believed, as I do, that family is the beginning, middle, and end. Jill and I send our love to his wife Lynne, their daughters Liz and Mary, and all of their grandchildren.

Kamala Harris tweet:

@KamalaHarris
I am saddened to learn of the passing of former Vice President Dick Cheney.

Vice President Cheney was a devoted public servant, from the halls of Congress to many positions of leadership in multiple presidential administrations. His passing marks the loss of a figure who, with a strong sense of dedication, gave so much of his life to the country he loved.

Doug and I are keeping Lynne, their daughters Liz and Mary, and the entire Cheney family in our thoughts during this difficult time.

It's neat. But I'm now bracing for the "but I paid to install my own solar - yet these people get it for free?" crowd to be driven insane by the idea.

Purple background, white text, which says Mrs Palm is an interesting Discworld character, as is the historical context her story references. Discworld's foremost witch, Granny Weatherwax, describes Mrs Palm as "almost a witch."

It is still possible to do audio that doesn't just squash the dialogue into a mumbled unintelligible mess.

The technology hasn't been lost.

Everyone should watch Alien Earth - not just because it's the best the Alien has been in some time.

Because the sound mix on that show is beautiful. Every creak, drip, and hiss come through as you'd expect. But the dialogue is perfectly mixed - from a whisper to a shout, you can understand it all.

43 years ago today, readers the world over opened their newspapers and gazed upon cow tools for the first time. happy birthday cow tools. you look great.

The original Far Side Cow Tools Cartoon by Gary Larson. A cow stands on its hind legs behind a table, staring blankly at the viewer from behind its heavy brow ridge. On the table are four crudely made tools: a lump, a lump with an offset crooked handle, a long stick with hooked prongs at the end, and a crude handsaw with irregular teeth. In the background a barn sits on a hill. Caption reads, "Cow tools."

They are also intentionally conflating machine-learning and generative AI slop to confuse and try to make GenAI seem necessary. Google Maps traffic stuff is machine learning, not GenAI, for example. Auto-correct is too. Don't let them make you lose the thread. GenAI slop is slop.

Truly a radicalising moment, even if the advice was (presumably intentionally) incorrect.

But the idea that our shit cunt Landlord would get to vote and we wouldn't? Infuriating.

Renting and disconnection from local govt is a good one.

I remember being advised by Boroondara Council that I wasn't eligible to vote in a local govt election because I only rented and voting was only for rate payers.

My hot traffic engineering take: More urban roadside objects should be fixed, immobile objects.

Driver's shouldn't be hitting shit on an urban street at a speed where the object being fixed matters.

If a driver is, that's a driver problem.

Absolutely deadly behavior causing another crash on Spruce Street at 5th st early this morning. This is on the busiest bike lane in Philly with over 1,500 riders who use it daily.

Good luck with that. The consolidation of that industry into a dwindling number of massive multinational providers continues apace.

What had been Toll had been going OK since the Japan Post acquisition. But the pandemic era sale to a private equity firm feels like it has really cratered it.
