I built a small side project. A site that gives you a deterministic name for a color. The same color always gets the same name. There’s roughly 12.5 million names. Google search says people can differentiate 10 million colors. Colors that can’t be differentiated return the same name. color-names.com
Color Names - Perceptually-Meaningful Color Naming
Generate perceptually-meaningful names for any color. Convert hex, RGB, HSL, or OKLCH colors into descriptive names using the OKLCH color space.

A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."

I want to say again that the Supreme Court could refer Trump to congress for impeachment over refusing to obey court orders. If congress doesn’t impeach then that means 2/3 of the government says it’s okay. The Supreme Court’s authority isn’t in question and the balance of power is maintained.

Never has any leader had so many people wanting to make the argument that “not wearing any clothes actually makes the emperor better dressed if you think about it.”

What I have to say about Jake Tapper, Ezra Klein, Derek Thompson, Jon Stewart, et al is that it is nearly impossible for people whose incomes are on the far right of this graph to provide coherent political commentary or even basic news reporting for the 320+ million on the left half of the graph.

I’m not a fan of fake appointments. If I make an appointment I shouldn’t have to take a ticket and wait. I made an appointment. If you know you’re going to be 40 minutes late to take your appointment then why tf did I make an appointment?

There is an entire political movement that believes the statement “if you work full-time in America, you should be able to pay your bills and have a savings account with your paycheck” is radical.
We must come to an agreement that it’s not radical to demand that.

AOC: It is almost unthinkable why Senate Democrats would vote to to hand the few pieces of leverage that we have away for free when we've been sent here to protect social security, protect medicaid, and protect medicare.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.
