Just another cat on the internet. I chew wires, fix things, and spend way too much time thinking about computers, airplanes, old cars, and safety. No, I’m not from Iceland, I just love the name.
Jeez, just accept that binary sex is a myth, leave people alone to figure out who they are, and offer them affirming surgery on their timeline and terms if it would give them gender euphoria. It’s not hard.
Stop trying to police other people’s bodies. Let people be free.

While I have some antipathy toward states as a form of social organization, I think a bare minimum I might accept for the end of the Trump regime is a new reconstruction that purges white suprematists and their legacy.

If I was TSA—and I wouldn’t be—I wouldn’t be airing this either. It’s an obvious Hatch Act violation. Noem, Vought and others should be prosecuted, but it’s always easiest to start by charging the small fry.

Machine vision screws up. Its output needs to be checked against other sources of truth.

Good grief this is stupid. A beige DB25 is more likely to be parallel or serial than Apple-style SCSI. And this doesn’t help you spot 50-pin Centronics vs 36-pin Centronics parallel port connectors.
If you’re not going to teach the differences, just teach people the bloody SCSI symbol already.

I suppose he was a civil rights leader in the modern US sense: civil rights have been rolled back lately and he was a leader in the effort to do that.
But if you’re gonna build statues of such an evil sack of pus, please make em knee high and put them in dog parks so dogs have somewhere to piss.

What would you think if someone said to you in the 1940s that you shouldn’t report on the final solution or persecutions of queers or Roma because that truth might inspire someone to hurt a Nazi?
That’s what I think of Fetterman’s crap.

Apparently the specific claim King made about Kirk was false. Better reporting than @newsweek.com is capable of might have noted that, then noted several of the similar horrible things Kirk actually did say. Don’t be complicit in the attempt to silence criticism of evil.
