“Now CNN Can Read Its Reporters’ DMs”  ok... let’see from the internet’s favorite abbrev. site in order from the top:

Total trivia: the VIN in the graphic thmbb7092wd114221 is not the notorious one associated with the story, (no one said it was, i just was curious). It turns out it’s a popular VIN from clip art; and besides it fails the standard set of digit checksums.

ack! that header photo has the shadow of the moon (one presumes) somehow permitting the clouds to show through the eclipsed portion of the sun - that’s cute... but it’s wrong! (link if necessary)

yeah what a total gyp, i demand my money back, it was like totally overhyped, only three of the seven signs of the apocalypse, no neighbors ‘purged’, and the goat-headed guy who lives two doors down didn’t even come out to get his mail. _well_ no fancy glasses at all for these sad pilgrim come april 24, 2024 — good…

ok... here’s an 12,000-year-old’s question about ya’ whippersnapper’s fancy schmancy lectrick cars: do they have gears? that is, in the sense that they must be shifted, these gears? as such do they come in automatic and manual? (“hey, ...just listen and you can hear the derisive laughter over the whole internet” linky)…

something went haywire here. this is not the posting that i originally replied to. it doesn’t make sense here. it was to an article about racism and trump-voters. ...ah well (i’m forever grayed-out for unknown reasons anyway)

One should at least make mention of Nixon’s “Southern Strategy” (arguably the first time it was stated as a distinct bit of psyop). Nixon and the GOP weaponized it, but the Fox “news” and the Russians modernized that weapon. The essential prerequisite of that weapon being racism and ignorance. (“y’know that a bunch of…

Mechanical keyboards are favored by those who type a lot and do so via efficient touch typing; so once strapped-in on home-row the true keyboardist doesn’t want to lose that efficient position fumbling for the mouse/pointing device ... so: a track-pointer (nub, nipple mouse, ..other names) should be an option with ever…

This guy is so like literally much uniquer in linguistical authority and he’ll like utterly decimate the entire comprised punditry with his fleek woke styles (“and hair; it’s all in the hair, like Malcolm Gladwell like”)

If such a demented plan were remotely honest, they’d employ the symbol with some significant graphical changes, like a non-nazi angle or going the ‘other way’ (which would make it an ancient Hindu symbol with the feminine sense) - but no, they couldn’t manage that much and they are thus christened: the lamest of…

Your first suggestion of microwaving is dealt a blow right at the top of your linked NYT article: “Microwaving your dirty sponge will only kill some of the bacteria on it, leaving the strongest, smelliest and potentially most pathogenic strains”. So you might want to at least address that this current…

aww com’on... it’s an advert and all but in the spirit of all that once was gizmodo, how about one level of detail of how it converts heat to electricity? we’ll go out on some (nearby) limb and presume it’s closer to Peltier effect cell then a tiny steam engine, but a single sentence to that effect would’ve been oh so…

You just know that there’s been a few ‘family discussions’ (excluding trump himself of course) to the effect of: “let’s convince him that he’s already fantastically accomplished all the winning possible and that he should now just ‘run things’ from the resort” “Jared’s even got the full fake tweet platform set up…

This posting and others similar will be assaulted for what amounts to idiot shaming. (“Hey! idiots should be allowed their opinions too!” of course they should, and they should want to defend those opinions) But, with a wizened eye to a general decline in objective awareness and education, (because of manipulative…

While there are certainly many cringe-worthy examples of overt racism, you might find it more edifying to ask to be sent “government approved murals” which are not racist. That is, with few exceptions: show me a (governmental) mural done in the last two hundred years and i’ll find something racist in it.

“We can haul in six maybe seven percent of the trump-voters by selling our souls. and hey, that’s probably enough to shift three electoral college votes!” “Well, ya can’t win no gerrymandered money-corrupted elections with yer soul no how” “and it’s not like they can get disgusted with us and vote republican!” “uh, i…

“This is just a picture of a wharf at Jaluit [in the Marshall Islands], with a bunch of people,”

Soo... if i decide to leak, you’re saying that i should always first randomly change all spelled out numbers to digits and vice-versa, semicolons to commas; ampersands to ‘and’, quote”s, add random misspelings, three dot ellipses to four....? (“and if you’re lucky you’ll come closest to @#$!n Jeremy’s version and…

Don’t send email in html. (“#$@! you’re old”)

i guess it falls to me to make the connection to an old Woody Allen film: Sleeper
