A few weeks ago my Magimix « L’expresso automatique » died on me. After several attempts to repair it I had to give up and buy a new espresso machine. Since it’s almost Christmas and shit I splurged on this.
This thing is definitely not plug & play. I’m not even finished tuning the quantity vs grind size knobs — it’s like finding the « ideal » solution for a single equation with two unknowns, and the equation depends on the particular coffee yo…

Part of why #Trump has always been so hard to pin down politically is that he was always representing highly conflicting interests. Now, as that eats him alive, the GOP is fracturing in to two main groups: the Pinochet/Franco wing and the Hitler wing.
The Pinochet/Franco wing (let's call them PF) are lead by Vance. PF are also a coalition with some competing interests, but basically it's evangelical leaders, Opus Dei (fascist catholics), tech fascists (Yarvinites), pharma, and the other normal big republican donors. They support Israel, some because apartheid is extremely profitable and some because they support the genocide of Palestinian in order to bring the end of the world. They are split between extremely antisemitic evangelicals and Zionists, wanting similar things for completely different reasons. PF wants strong immigration enforcement because it lets them exploit immigrants, they don't want actual ethnic cleansing (just the constant threat). They want H1B visas because they want to a precarious tech work force. They want to end tariffs because they support free trade and don't actually care about things being made here.
The Hitler wing are lead by Nick Fuentes. I think they're a more unified group, but they're going to try to pull together a coalition that I don't think can really work. They're against Israel because they believe in some bat shit antisemitic conspiracy theory (which they are trying to inject along side legitimate criticism of Israel). They are focused on release of the #EpsteinFiles because they believe that it shows that Epstein worked for Mossad. They don't think that the ICE raids are going far enough, they oppose H1Bs because they are racists. They want a full ethnic cleansing of the US where everyone who isn't "white" is either enslaved for menial labor, deported, or dead. But they're also critical of big business (partially because of conspiracy theories but also) because they think their best option is to push for a white socialism (red/brown alliance).
Both of them want to sink Trump because they see him as standing in the way of their objectives. Both see #Epstein as an opportunity. Both of them have absolutely terrifying visions of authoritarian dictatorships, but they're different dictatorships.with opposing interests. Even within these there may be opportunities to fracture these more.
While these fractures decrease the likelihood of either group getting enough people together, their vision is more clear and thus more likely to succeed if they can make that happen. Now is absolutely *not* the time to just enjoy the collapse, we need to keep up or accelerate anti-fascist efforts to avoid repeating some of the mistakes of history.
Edit:
I should not that this isn't *totally* original analysis. I'll link a video later when I have time to find it.

Well, shit. Guess I picked a bad day to re-case my PC and upgrade the GPU. Everything went well until I tried to update the OS, which failed while tossing a Mesa dependency error. Did some checking, and it seems to just be a Mesa issue I can't really do anything about ATM. So I'm stuck in 4K/basic graphics driver mode, with screen tearing a-plenty, till tomorrow? Hopefully? lol.
The new case looks nice at least.

I think the cat has figured out that when I bring up stacks of cat food to put under the kitchen sink, that no one can figure out whether he’s been fed or not, so he can constantly trick one of the three of us into to giving him more food.
Technically it's now warmer than yesterday; but I don't currently feel like that, partially because I tried to unblock a frozen/blocked bathroom sink/bath/shower waste pipe; using an old hair-drier taped to a couple of long poles. It seems to be unblocked; was it that? Wtf knows.
The use of military to force a country to become part of your own country is a sign of weakness. Your country is simpely not attractive enough to apply for membership.
The EU has never used force to get new countries to line up for membership...
Time for American government to let that sink in.

Donald Trump unveiled a new class of so-called “battleships” on Monday,
but his plans are already hitting rough waters on social media.
In remarks from his Mar-a-Lago estate, the president claimed that the two “Trump Class” military vessels would be
the “fastest, the biggest and by far 100 times more powerful than any battleship ever built.”
Trump described himself as
a “very aesthetic person” while noting that he,
along with the U.S. Navy,
