What is so bewildering about Trump’s cruelty is how it has been allowed to pass, its casualness.
Donald Trump hovers above the circus of death and chaos.
Trump defies attempts to make his actions cohere with any particular strategy.
His wars, killing of innocents, and indeed, the threatening of entire civilisations are reshaping the world,
but without him even having orchestrated some master plan.
He is animated by little more than momentary impulses and resent…

Trump’s presidency is what evil looks like: absurd, frightening, cruel
Commentators have said that the US president’s clownishness and lack of ideology somehow make him less dangerous. They’re wrong, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

My kids have had the last week off of school and it's looking like they'll have a snow day on Monday, too.
Just slowly losing my mind over here.. (also way behind on work)

Snow will begin light with slightly above-freezing temperatures, so accumulations through Sunday afternoon will be relatively small. The heaviest snow will happen after sunset Sunday and continue into early Monday morning before it begins to taper off.

Well this is interesting. Last night during the workstation outage the grid power voltage to my house reached the highest level I've ever seen, 257V across the two nominally 120 legs (meaning they were 128.5V RMS above/below neutral). And a day or two earlier it dropped down to 235V.
Almost certainly unrelated, they don't pull enough power for this to make a difference and are on double conversion UPS so the voltage they saw wouldn't change. But the timing is curious, as is…

Graph of power voltage over time at different scales (day, week, month, year). The blue line is a perfect 240.0V and shows the output voltage of the UPS, while the green line is fluctuating around 245 +/- a few volts until yesterday when the amplitude of the noise gets a lot higher with a big dip followed by a big spike

Historic Glacial Confluence
This is the site of confluence of the former glaciers Vernagtferner and Hintereisferner, two of the most (and longest) studied glaciers in the world. It is the site (at ~2200m) where several times over the past thousand years the ice of the Vernagtferner would pile up to form a massive dam, 150-200m tall, which caused a semi-permanent ice lake to form in the Rofen/Hintereis valley above (the one visible from ~7 seconds). Many times this lake would get up to …

Surfing Ability Summit page at 200% with my keyboard (as one does) and came across this weird control.
Turns out it’s a roled-up button that launches Microsoft Immersive reader. Which is crap at 200%, it turns out.
Anyway, use native HTML buttons and let users rely on their browser’s reader mode.

A book / speaker icon overflowing its container with dev tools showing it’s a div with a button role, an icon from a CSS glyph in an I element that has presentation role, and the button has both aria-label and title of “10:15 AM–11:15 AM | BRK010 - Building NeuroInclusive Employee Experiences | Room: McKinley Immersive Reader”.
The new view where the bottom half of the “Immersive Reader” is clipped, the lines of text run out of the viewport to the right with no scrollbar, the Play and Voice Settings buttons overlap one another, and the circle defining the bounds of Voice Settings is itself offset above the icon and mostly over the Play button.

I went out into the wood to try to assess what dangerously unstable trees still standing in places where they could cause damage when they fall.
Needless to say, besides the two trees that have already collapsed above the house, there's at least one and possibly two unstable trees hanging over the house.
H'mmm...
#TheJoyOfCrofting

A tree in the wood, leaning about 30°, unsupported. Nothing terrible will happen when this one comes down, I think.
My house, from the back. You can see one tree that's broken off just above the top of the roof, and most of that tree is actually lying on the roof; but it has been for more than a year and I'm not worried about it. You can also see a tree leaning over the house, but it's hung up in the tree in front of the house and I don't think it will move. What worries me more are the two trees to the right of the house, leaning towards it. One of them is definitely unstable.

The office last night. Rialto Square Theater, #Joliet, IL.
Built in 1926; surely one of the most beautiful buildings in America.
#chicago #LiveMusic

My mic stand and guitar pedals are in the foreground, bathed in green and purple light, next to a massive marble pillar in the gorgeous neoclassical rotunda, with mural panels and a staggering chandelier hanging above
Entrance that leads to the rotunda of the Rialto, with event tables and chairs set up. Massive neoclassical pillars rise to an arched roof. The marble, plaster relief, painted panels, and gold leaf everywhere remind one of the Vatican.
Looking up at the incredibly opulently decorated rotunda of the Rialto, with the fantastic, massive central chandelier as its focus.

Finally, Volkswagen is launching a V2G tariff in Germany. It is now scheduled for launch in Q4 2026.
Although Volkswagen was the first German car manufacturer to release bidirectional charging functionality in their vehicles, they are now behind BMW, Mercedes and Ford (whose EVs use VW technology) in terms of announcing an actual charger and tariff bundle.

An electric vehicle is plugged into a charging station against a wooden backdrop. Colorful lines suggest energy transfer. Text promotes a new energy transition initiative from Elli, mentioning V2G technology coming soon.
A white Volkswagen ID.4 electric vehicle is prominently displayed against a purple background. Smaller illustrations of various electric cars are scattered around, with the text "Electric vehicles based on the MEB platform" above.
An illustration featuring a DC BiDi Charger and a Smart Meter Gateway (SMGW). The charger is on the left with a sleek black design and an interface for controls. The SMGW, depicted on the right, is highlighted with a wireless symbol.
