My quick initial thought on who won tonight.

Here’s a hint - it wasn’t Vance. youtu.be/kpwP6dUeBho?si=wG58nB…



Happy 42nd to REMINGTON STEELE.

It's streaming again on Prime, which is a nice birthday gift.

I don’t think that CBS would have said that the Trump campaign had initially accepted their interview request if they hadn’t done so. I’m more included to believe CBS than Cheung. I’m just sayin’.
Per Cheung, CBS insisted on doing live fact checking during the interview, so Trump balked when he discovered that he’d be checked on his lies and distortions. Chicken, chicken, chicken. Trump might also remember his disastrous 2020 “60 Minutes” interview with Lesley Stahl (if he can remember back that far).

So who is the presidential candidate who’s not doing media interviews again? Anyone?

#Welt! Bist du noch da?

#Wolkenlücke


… bei ruhigem #Herbstwetter. Leichter #Rückenwind und permanenter #Nieselregen. Nun, es gibt besseres #Wetter um die #Wirtschaftswege in der #Warburger #Börde zu beradeln. Gerade bei der #Mais- und #Rübenernte wird dies schnell zu einer #Sauerrei.

Jetzt aber einen #Kaffee und was aus der #Mottenkiste:

#Supertramp - It's Raining Again

Bleibt senkrecht und gesund!

P.S.

Kennt noch jemand eine funktionierende #Invidio-Instanz?
Ich finde keine mehr. Hat #YT gewonnen?
Ok, ihr wisst ja sicher wie ihr das #Schnüffeln und die doofe #Werbung unterbindet.




"I wasted a day on CSS selector performance to make a website load 2ms faster" by @trys trysmudford.com/blog/i-spent-a…

This is one of the unfortunate things about the DevTools' "selector stats." It can really mislead you if you don't notice the text "(slow)" which _really_ means slow.

@kylealden That's great to hear! FWIW Selector Stats have truly helped me on least 3 separate occasions, one of which was worth ~150ms IIRC. So it's definitely helpful. 🙂
in reply to Nolan Lawson

same here! 🙏🏻 They are especially helpful when reports come in from old/slow devices being sluggish upon interaction. In my case it's almost always due to style recalc durations as I try to circumvent JavaScript as much as possible anyways.

PS: What I would also ❤️ to see are # of elements affected by a recalc run and maybe also hints at how to reduce their amount, e.g. by not switching a class on the document root, but further down or further at the end of the tree, etc.

Rainfall v1.2 is released! (rainfall.dev)

Now you can add artwork and descriptions for your releases (albums, EPs, singles). This will help make your site look more polished!

Rainfall is a Bandcamp exodus tool that lets you upload your music and create a static site using the lovely Faircamp (simonrepp.com/faircamp/). You can download this site as a ZIP and host it anywhere on the web.

You can read some of the rationale behind why I built this here: travisbriggs.com/garden/bandca…

The github repo is here: github.com/audiodude/rainfall

Apologies for the big gap between releases, I guess Bandcamp hasn't really turned evil (yet!). All feedback is welcome!

Despite the candidates' differences, 'agree' was a buzzword on the VP debate stage


Tim Walz and JD Vance shook hands multiple times on the debate stage, and each spoke of several areas in which they agree with the other. Here are some examples.

So a fascist candidate compared the residential school system to contemporary school policies allowing kids to self-identify their names and pronouns.

Yeah. Seriously.

So this is obviously abhorrent, but it's also kind of a fascinating peek into fascist thinking.

Sherry Wilson here apparently considers the residential school system primarily as a crime against the PARENTS of the stolen children— a violation of their property rights over their kids.

And while there was definitely harm and pain (and, you know, assault) inflicted on the parents, it is the harm inflicted on the kids that should be centred.

This should be obvious? And yet.

The Residential Schools were abominable for many reasons, but absolutely first among those reasons is the stripping of children of their consent, and treating them like things.

Sherry Wilson thinks the problem was the state considered the kids state property instead of their parents' property, but she still considers them property.

To her, kids are things without consent of their own to consider.

J.D. Vance flew off the handle during the vice presidential debate Tuesday night after one of the moderators tried to fact-check him about his favorite topic, the Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio.

trib.al/J5sgwBV



Vance has exactly the same problem as ChatGPT: people are suckers for bullshit if it’s well-formed bullshit. They mistake grammar for intelligence. They mistake appropriate social forms for social relationships.

This guy is a human black hole who can mimic all the appropriate forms, and unlike Trump, he is the hand-picked choice of the oligarchs.

He isn’t running to be VP; he’s running to be president, either when Trump dies in office or when Trump dies in prison.

Trump showed the oligarchs just how weak US democracy is, and there's a lot of money that's ready to put somebody right at the heart of the rot who's not a batshit con artist, but a slick, surefooted tool.

Vance is •extraordinarily• dangerous. Torpedo this man. Destroy him.
