"The true essence of a dictatorship is in fact not its regularity but its unpredictability and caprice; those who live under it must never be able to relax, must never be quite sure if they have followed the rules correctly or not." —Christopher Hitchens

How do you love something that's . . . not there? I mean, you can say you love a fictional character, but you must keep in mind that that character *is* fictional.

Finally read this. The context for the slur makes it entirely believable. But the rest is just as awful. NBC knowingly resurrected a washed up, racist, misogynist, parasitic con man, and presented him to the country as a brilliant, cutting-edge businessman. It felt dirty just reading it.

Trump was his usual blathering self after the verdict, assailing the outcome and all concerned with it. "It's a disgrace"—meaning things didn't go his way. What a blubbering child he is.

Confederate memorials were a key part of the revisionist Lost Cause campaign of the early 1900s to whitewash the role of slavery.

The monuments themselves were efforts to “erase history” & anyone still defending them today is defending the lies of racists.

I had to disable Privacy Badger in Firefox (never gave a problem before). Now it works.

Anyone know what's going on with Twitter (X) right now? I go to sign in and all I get is a black box with a constantly spinning circle—no login screen comes up.

Except for kernel and version updates and such, in three years I've never had to reboot our Linux Mint Cinnamon PC. Maybe we've been lucky.

How excellent! New York should have one, too, although I'd pick a triceratops.

For Appomattox Day, it's good to remember that Robert E Lee did not have to do a treason, lots of other southerners somehow managed not to.

They fought fiercely, but the cause they were fighting for, much like the Nazi ideology in WWII, was morally wrong, inhuman and disgusting.

I had hoped that this kind of nonsense would have died out decades ago. It's sad that it still persists.

Those comments are disturbing. They show how so many people view the universe in such a deluded way.

A long time ago, I ordered an iced coffee at the NCO club on an Air Force installation. The waitress was a foreign national. The coffee came in a cup on a saucer with a single ice cube.

I never thought of grilling them. I get the two-layer King Oscar in olive oil and eat them atop a Ritz cracker.

I read a piece recently that talked about SUVs and trucks being much more dangerous to pedestrians due to the higher front ends impacting higher up on the body. Maybe if more people stopped buying these monster vehicles, we could get those numbers down—and save on gasoline.
