Biden was “angry”, “heartbroken”, and “outraged” by the genocide of the Palestinian people as he sold weapons to Israel to carry out the genocide of the Palestinian people.
And *that*, there, is his difference, people. He cares. He’s compassionate. In fact, he’s likely the most caring and compassionate arms dealer to ever fund a genocide.
And they say he’s just as bad as the other guy.
*smh*

Black Flag – "Six Pack" (1981)
7" 45 RPM
Original SST pressing with black & white cover
This class punk anthem reminds me of the initial appeal I found in punk rock and underground music in general. Savage mockery of the worst parts of popular American culture, as it was at the time anyway.
Angry outsiders. The innately anti-authoritarian. These are my people!
Released 43 years ago this month, as @…

An illustration that the angry voices shouting that “Taxation is Theft” or “The Goverment Does Nothing for the People” are often just that, voices. In a town of 10,000, on the issue of funding for our aging and degrading sewer system, our fire department and our swimming pool, the issue was decided by 546 people. Glad at the results, but a bit disheartened, but not surprised, by the indifference.

Scientists have found the genetic root of a disorder that causes intellectual disability,
which they estimate affects as many as one in 20,000 young people.
And they hope their discovery leads to a new diagnosis that can provide answers to families.
Those with the condition have a constellation of issues, which also include short stature, small heads, seizures and low muscle mass, said the researchers, who published their findings in the journal Nature Medicine on Friday.

@… How do we achieve that? People much smarter than me have failed to answer that question.
But at the root of the matter, I think democracy is part of the answer. As messy and inefficient as it is compared to central planning, we have to make sure the whole populace has a say, an equal say.
In that sense, I think democracy and communism are cl…

Why aren't #EBooks more popular? I think the simple answer is that #AudioBooks became more popular.
Audiobooks don't require people to buy a separate device. As soon as people had smartphones they had an "audiobook-device".
Of course many people have not even tr…

A weekend off! Work laptop is off! Hopefully no one calls the cell phone as I will ignore everyone except two and only two people. They will only call if there is an emergency. Received a call on my personal phone yesterday from a person asking questions on why a FTP failed. First mistake was answering the call. I was rather blunt telling them at that time I was NOT AVAILABLE. I am on call 1 week out of 3 and this week I AM NOT ON CALL.

Jonathan Coulton's "Still Alive" (from Portal) is an Easter song, and the lyrics don't even require that much tweaking to work. Imagine Jesus singing it to all of humanity:
This was a triumph
I'm making a note here
"Huge success"
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction
My Father's Kingdom
We do what we must because we can
For the good of all of us
Except the ones who are dead
But there's no sense crying over every missed line
You just keep on trying till you run out of wine
And the tombstone grows moss and you make a neat cross
For the people who are still alive
I'm not even angry
I'm being so sincere right now
Even though you broke my heart
And killed me
And tore me to pieces
And threw every piece into a fire
As they burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you
Now, these points of data make a beautiful line
And we're out of beta, we're releasing on time
So I'm glad I got burned, think of all the things we learned
For the people who are still alive
Go 'head and leave me
I think I'd prefer to stay inside
Maybe you'll find someone else
To help you
Maybe Ron Hubbard?
That was a joke, ha-ha, fat chance
Anyway, this wine is great
It's so delicious and moist
Look at me, still talking when there's religion to do
When I look out there, it makes me glad I'm not you
I've experiments to run, there's salvation to be done
On the people who are still alive
And believe me, I am still alive
I'm doing preaching and I'm still alive
I feel fantastic and I'm still alive
While you're dying, I'll be still alive
And when you're dead, I will be still alive
Still alive
Still alive

Questions about H5N1 for which there are pretty clear answers when it comes to birds are suddenly unsettled science in cows.
