Really frustrated by people that deny how many racists are in this country or that their impact can be ignored. Gonna have to log off Discord.Comments

Maybe this is not at the top of the list of problems Trump is going to bring down on us, but Project 2025 "argues NOAA must be terminated because its research on the effects of human-caused climate change from greenhouse gas emissions "is harmful to future U.S. prosperity."Comments
NOAA is a bedrock resource for scientists around the world. There is so much you can't do without the data they collect. -
Just like 2016: The hate beginsComments
The Currier Times reports students at Curry College and other schools got text messages telling them they've been selected to pick cotton "at the nearest plantation."
Peope voted for Trump because of “inflation”, right? -

I think I want to do what I think of as Good Programming again. I'm probably going to have to do it for free on my own time, and I'm going to have to go back to not sleeping as much.Comments

I used to play poker with a bunch of Lebanese guys. They were really fun, cheerful people. (Also, these particular guys were bad at poker but could definitely tilt people doing the "correct moves".)Comments
This has really got to suck for them. Obviously. -
Israel readies plans to expand Lebanon offensiveComments
I would not be surprised if they moved on to permanently occupying parts of Lebanon. -
I can tell I'm getting deep enough into my other countries research because I feel just a little bit scared of becoming a foreigner.Comments

Ah. Now homeless software engineer is getting into how Biden allowed too many people into the country.Comments

Old homeless guy is really articulate about privacy and mass surveillance.Comments
Whoa, he used to be a software engineer that worked on mainframes with Fortran and Oracle.
Is this my future? -
Old guy at library: So what are you studying?Comments
Young guy: I'm studying. Computer science I'm studying AI. What's your background?
Old guy: Haha, old man, homeless.
Young guy: Oh, you don't look it.
[Editor's note: Old guy has a shopping cart of his belongings with him.]
Then, they got into a conversation about AR and Meta. -
I have to admit: Until just now, I've misidentified Papua/New Guinea as New Zealand.Comments

The guy took third prize in a class creative writing contest. However, neither of Katt nor I are allowed to read his story.Comments

I was just thinking again about how Back to the Future II’s vision of a dark future was the ignorant bully Biff Tannen becoming a billionaire. Not president or president twice, though, because that would be ridiculous.Comments

Pikaichi is good 100% of the time. Those broths!Comments
This part of Medford is not dense with restaurants, so we're very lucky to have it. -
Trump's on track to win the popular vote. I have to say a thing I've been thinking for eight years: This country may have more "bad" people than good. ("Bad" meaning people who are racist/misogynist/generally bigoted and/or selfish and/or don't understand the value of group effort.)Comments
So, at least by my values, it is technically bad. -
Looks like you can't renew your passport online if it expires in more than a year. The form makes you verify this statement:Comments
The passport I am renewing is either expiring within one year or has expired less than five years ago.
But I did call and find out you can still renew by mail. (I also tried using travel.state.gov's online chat, but that agent, whether LLM or person, was worse at searching their site than I was.) -
Some judo notes:Comments
- Escaping via bridging and shrimping should ideally be done with the idea of staying close and getting your knee under the opponent — NOT to shoot your hips out so you can then wriggle your head out, which is hard against people with a strong grip on your neck. With the knee in, you have leverage over your opponent. Bridge them off, get your hips out with the shrimp, but keep your grip on them and get your knee under.
- They had us experiment with forms of uchimata and harai goshi. Uchimata on the near leg (the leg closest to you in a right-handed vs. right-handed situation) is easier for shorter people because you get uke on one leg and only need to sweep that one leg. On the far leg, both of uke's legs are down, and you need to lift the far leg really high to tip them. *Unless* you have advantageous kuzushi and have them bent way over (as, incidentally, the guy often does somehow).
- Harai goshi kuzushi is really hard to do while standing square because you have to force uke's lapel grip arm to bend. Way easier with a small step to the side. Also way easier while moving backward rather than standing still.
- Moving sideways and circling around is important for dealing with tall person stiff-arming (as well as charging and sacrifice throws, which aren't appropriate against beginners).
- I think maintaining upright posture when gassed is actually easier than being hunched over.
- If I plan to do a turn throw, I really need to start turning at the beginning of the attack. If I pull the opponent in, then try to turn, it's too late. They know what's up, and it ends there. -
I guess the “plus side” is that it’s not that shocking this time.Comments

The prime minister of New Zealand during the Flight of the Conchords episode about the prime minister was actually Helen Clark, rather than Brian. The first prime minister does look like Brian, though!Comments
