HOAs are intended to harass and discriminate against black and brown people so that they don’t move in

Lol I was going to make a joke here about "Redline Homes Inc." - but it turns out there really is such a company, in Oklahoma of course.

There's a new-ish genre of Youtubers these days, Arizona home inspectors showing what a gigantic clusterfuck new house construction is there. I can't decide which is my favorite disaster: exterior walls that are just paper and stucco, or the gas leaks at literally every house. In AZ, the HOAs are the least of people's problems.

My township finally decided to do something about our homeless problem ... by fencing off the area they were congregating in, natch.

John "Trump Signs Are PA's State Flower" Fetterman not talking in good faith? Say it ain't so!

My favorite Fetterman moment was when he castigated Democrats for mentioning trump's felony convictions, saying we were supposed to be the party of "forgiveness and redemption". Imagine consciously throwing away a political advantage like your opponent's crimes - it's like refusing to blink when your opponent throws sand in your eyes.

Sounds almost as irritating as "OK boomer". Which I have to say is especially irritating to be on the receiving end of since I'm not a boomer.

Gestapo was the German abbreviation for "Geheime Staatspolizei" which literally meant "secret state police" - exactly what ICE is.

Why would that money mean higher wages for the grunts on the ground, when it can be absorbed by higher-ups in the organization? Walmart has tons of money coming in and that doesn't result in higher wages for workers.

Are we sure ICE agents even get healthcare? They usually look like just random dudes pulled off the street and given a balaclava and a rented van and told to round up brown people. I'll bet they don't get much more than minimum wage and no benefits.

I suspect the $175B isn't going to matter a whole lot in terms of the number of boots on the street. Most of that money is just going to be absorbed by the higher-ups.

Ghislaine Maxwell hasn't killed herself yet.

This guy's code once fired a 125 mph knuckleball a foot above a 10-year-old kid's head. Probably not the same guy.

Job interviewer: "What's the best sorting algorithm for {whatever}?"
Me: "The SORT BY clause in SQL."

We’ve more or less kinda settled on HTML

It's funny, one of the modern UI glitches that I hate the most is when a long bit of text is just truncated with ellipses instead of the whole thing being shown and you have to hold the mouse over to get it in a tooltip, or shudder actually click on the thing. HTML is great at word-wrapping and allowing the whole UI to "flow" with variable heights and widths as necessary - and yet that is never allowed to happen in apps.
