But hey, I guess El Presidente Naranja (EPN) needs some place to bury bodies.
In the same vain vein is there any truth to the rumor that EPN, after he slaps his greasy name onto the Kennedy Center, plans to rename Washington DC?
Which makes me wonder - who controls the names of the various States and of the US of A as a whole?

Working on a project that‘s still in development (creative development) and today I wrote up my recommendations for where it might register its domain names, since the project may not be to the current US presidential administration’s liking.
It is odd that that’s a reasonable concern.
Without a massive (and expensive) site reliability engineering (SRE) team, figuring out what might make things more resilient affordably is a nice way to try to find some control amid the chaos. …

Future generations will learn:
• That Israel committed genocide in Palestine.
• That “The West” allowed it to happen and many Western countries profited and were complicit in it.
• The names of those who were complicit.
This isn’t a call to change your behaviour. At this point, we know very well who stands on which side of history.
This is just a reminder to be prepared because justice will be served.
Gotta love the ridiculous names kids make up for stuffed animals.
So far we have Hensapiko the mermaid, Beeba the tiger, Kentabina the bunny... There's more but these are some of the more memorable (and absurd) ones.

A toot quoted a tweet earlier (can't find it now) highlighting that "antifa" may be cute for those associating with it, but it allows opponents to criticise without admitting to being fascists.

I mean "very good" is dubious, given how Excel famously turned gene names into dates – to the point that geneticists rather renamed the genes instead of hoping for MS to get its shit together. Still, turning it outright into a biased random number generator beats that 🤣
