This was a PITA to make work, getting characters to align so that the letters in either script looks properly kerned, to emulate word-wrapping. Took forever, but it's fully #CSS, no #JavaScript.

Got the idea from #MurderbotDiaries where displays would show a sci-fi script and then wipe to English.

So far today I have:

1. Put toothpaste on the electric toothbrush and then turned it on before sticking it in my mouth.

2. Touched up my fingernail polish after having a shower, but before getting dressed.

"stop making everything about gender!!!" but also "we have to address the inequalities young men face due to their gender!!!"

Either recognize the reality that systemic injustices exist, or don't. You don't get to pick and choose based on political expedience.

“Public spaces reflect our values,” Troy Glover, a professor in the Department of Recreation and Leisure Studies at the University of Waterloo, said. “If we truly want public spaces to work for all people, we have to start by asking who they’re currently designed to exclude.”

Nothing says confidence in your own sysadmin skills by doing `apt upgrade; restart` remotely on your home server when you cannot get home for two days to fix anything if it doesn't come back online. ;-)

Transit costs are "visible, while the costs of car dependence are mostly concealed. Car dependence costs us in the time lost in congestion, in the harm from pollution and accidents, and in countless other ways that we don’t consider." buff.ly/iMCY5Fe
Should We Let Public Transit Die?
Urban-rural hostility is fueling a public transportation crisis in US cities. But demands to abandon bus and train riders ignore the economic and social costs of cutting service.

Blueprint
4 frame comic. an woman with grey hair and a yellow scarf is getting interviewed on the street. the interviewer asks : ma'am! what do you think of the radical left fearmongering that we could someday see fascism in the u.s.? she replies : dear boy, the u.s. has been a blueprint for fascism all along. hitler specifically cited jim crow, u.s. anti-miscege- nation and white-only immi- gration laws as inspiration for his eugenics policies. germany sent people to study what was being done in the u.s. to export it over there. in the 30s, tens of thousands of americans attended massive rallies by fascist groups such as the friends of new germany or the german american bund. then in the 40s, two dozen congresspeople were charged with sedition for planning a fascist overthrow of the government. and since wwII, the amount of fascist groups and militias has been exponential. not only can fascism come to the u.s., it has always been an inherent part of american society.

The government won't tell you that they are fascists, but they will tell you that anti-fascists are their enemies.

The sanitizing of Charlie Kirk's legacy
4 frame comic. Title : The sanitizing of Charlie Kirk's legacy. first frame, we see Charlie Kirk. Text reads: Charlie Kirk was constantly advocating for political violence and mocking the death of people he despised. He is even partially responsible for january 6th. Kirk says : Turning point sent 80+ buses full of patriots to DC. 2nd frame, we see Kirk behind a table, speaking to an audience. Text reads : he wasn't holding debates on college campuses. what he organized were flash mobs with hundreds of his followers to harass the students who had the courage to stand up to his hatefest, and create content for his social media empire out of it. 3rd frame, we see a silhouette behind a desk. text reads : he didn't start from nothing. In its infancy, his organization became fully funded by two reactionary billionaires, and has since been receiving a steady stream of shady money. 4th frame, we see the flames of hell. text reads : he was a professional provocateur and an obstacle to free speech. he leaves behind a world that he spent a whole decade polarizing. his legacy is hate, harassment and corruption.

It's really disappointing when the birthday present you bought for yourself arrives and Amazon sent you a different, older model with poorer specs. 😞

Stay safe. Sources and documents in the replies.
4 frame comic. in the first frame, the fbi building. text reads : according to insiders, the fbi is preparing to label trans people as "violent extremists". second frame, we see the Heritage foundation logo. text reads : the news came out moments before a new policy proposal by the heritage foundation, the organization behind project 2025, was released. this policy would label trans people and their allies as "domestic terrorists". third frame, we see four pages from a document. text reads : the document uses the murder of charlie kirk as a reason to designate "trans-ideology-inspired violent extremism" as a domestic terrorism threat category and to "use the full toolkit of the fbi to prevent future attacks inspired by the ideology." fourth frame, just text : after blaming 50% of school shootings since 2015 on it, the proposal goes on to define "trans-ideology-inspired violent extremism" as : claims of trans people's right to exist; lack of respect for genetic realities; use of terminology such as : cisgender, misgendering, trans genocide... make sure the trans people in your life are SAFE.

You think that taking Jimmy Kimmel off air is righteous because "civility is important" and that people should not "celebrat[e] a political assassination", eh? You agree that you should call people's employers if they say that they're not sad that Charlie Kirk is dead? 1/2

I find it hilarious that various programming and data definition languages syntaxes explicitly allow for trailing commas because programmers are too lazy to code in an extra if/else for that last line. 😄

#StarWars nerds: Are "R2-D2" and "C-3P0" their model numbers or their individual IDs/names/designations?
Also, why aren't they given those in the in-universe script, Aurabesh? 😉
