A master class here in passive voice & evading responsibility for supposedly agenda-setting media in giving to much attention to Biden's age & too little to Trump's fascism. #BrokenPost

in reply to Jeff Jarvis

They do erase their responsibility for making those “concerns” central to public discourse, but I don’t see any passive voice (in the grammatical sense) in the sentence highlighted in blue. The underlined “which” clause in the next sentence does contain a passive-voice construction (“was … trusted”), but it seems to me that it would be clumsy to explicitly name its implied subject (the people who participated in the polls).
in reply to Andrew Shields

@AndrewShields
Passive in the sense that "concerns" is the actor in the sentence rather than, unsaid, news media.



English scholar, poet, and author Walter Raleigh was born #OTD in 1861.

He is best known for his biographical studies, particularly his "Life of Shakespeare" (1907). He also wrote on figures like John Milton, Wordsworth, and Sir Walter Scott. Raleigh’s "Style" (1897) is one of his most influential works, where he discusses the nature of literary style, blending both theory and practical criticism.

PSA: if the keyboard of your #Asus Laptop is not working with #Linux, it likely needs a quirk entry to handle that model properly, because either Asus or the #kernel is doing something stupid.

Here is an example of a quirk entry submission: lore.kernel.org/all/2024090301…

Seems Tamim Khan is willing to submit such quirks for other people, so just dropping a note (see the Link for the email address) might be enough to get things sorted out.

in reply to Thorsten Leemhuis (acct. 1/4)

Side note: a little sad to see that some of the commits adding quirk entries are not backported to stable and longterm #Linux #kernel kernels to get the keyboard working with them on those Asus laptops, too.



Tim Walz's NRA rating went from A to F. It's part of a shift from Democrats on guns


Vice presidential nominee Tim Walz went from being endorsed by the NRA to a fierce advocate for gun control. That evolution reflects a larger shift that has been happening within the Democratic Party over the last decade.

Teeny friendly reminder to use CamelCase for the hashtags for accessibility please, i.e. #DataMetrics #OpenData #MDCSummit. Screenreader users especially need this to distinguish words within the hashtag. Annoyingly, autocomplete usually presents the all-lower-case version by default 😢
