Like Kitten itself, it’s a baby but will be evolving quickly as they approach API version 1 together.
Enjoy!

Working from home today means opportunities to be outside in the yard! The bog filter has its first layer: the milk crate fits! Also, we put some Hastas in the pond from our collection elsewhere in the yard. They are gangly for now but appear to enjoy it! One of the pond lillies is blooming and the goldfish have been very active after all the fresh rain!

Tired journalism on the radio this morning:
"The Bank of #Canada has one job: to maintain the rate of inflation at 2%."
Maybe read the BoC Act before spouting nonsense? The Bank's mission is set out in the preamble. While inflation - though the word is never used in the law - is part of the story, it's anything but the full story. And, yes, 2% has become convention since the …
It would be helpful if 19th through 23rd Street had bike lanes immediately approaching Mission St even if they don’t otherwise have bike lanes. I’m frequently stuck behind cars waiting to turn for the entire light cycle, and there’s no space to filter through to the front due to parked cars.

Trump is testing the mainstream press. He’s saying in every way possible: Yes, I really am going to be a dictator. Yes, I really am going to dismantle the democratic institutions that have defined this country for 250 years. Yes, this really will be the last election, if I win it. And by the way, of course that means the end of a free press.
Now, how are you going to cover this political season?
And then there were 4. Dual Senses with Hall Effect joysticks, that is. Got the second one I bought off eBay today. Was pretty trashed. Shell was broken in a couple places, stick cap got pulled through the shell.. found out once I opened it up why it was sold "as is". It had obviously been opened up and they noticed the headphone jack was broken off the board. Took most of the pads with it. I don't have good enough gear to fix that.. but I did test it before doing the stick swa…
Speaker Mike Johnson is under pressure to pass a bill that would support Trump and allow him to move New York state charges to federal court,
but Johnson can’t get the votes to pass the bill.
It would be career suicide for any of the moderate Republicans in districts that Biden won in 2020 to vote for a bill that would support convicted felon Trump.
There is no good reason for any of these Republicans to throw their careers away when even if the bill passed the House, it w…
re: UKPol BBC election debate show
Questioner wonders why election campaigns are full of promises but governments never get anything done.
Conservatives would have loved to do things except for the pandemic got in the way!? They don't mention that they did in fact do a thing, because the thing was terrible: brexit.
Reform says it's coz the Lab and Con are too similar, and we need a new electoral system with PR (and I agree with him for once!)
Labour reckon they will keep their promises, because they've barely made any promises and all their plans are cheap.
Conservatives keep banging on about their made-up number that Labour will tax each family 2000 more. That is a lie, and anyway the same methods say Conservatives will cost 3000 more.
Greens want diversity in the commons. Lab and Con are barely a cigarette paper apart. Interrupted before a mention of PR but they do want it.
Scots list the things they have delivered: Cheaper homes, public water. And they say the Con/Lab are in fact being honest, and are thus offering crap all.
Cymru think it's about integrity, but also admits he's a journalist who also aren't really know for integrity. He's against corruption.
Libs, the very party of broken promises, just directs attention towards conservative broken pledges. Someone taunts them about breaking promises to students about fees.
Here is where I get to agree with Nigel. Corruption comes from the electron system.

House Speaker Mike Johnson on Wednesday appointed two far-right Republicans to the powerful House Intelligence Committee,
positioning two close allies of Donald Trump who worked to overturn the 2020 presidential election on a panel that receives sensitive classified briefings and oversees the work of America’s spy agencies.
The appointments of GOP Reps. Scott #Perry of Pennsylvania
and Ronn…
