@lain There is, of course, the classic sequence of Dave Barry columns about worst songs, in which "Macarthur Park" came out the winner. Hard to argue with the lyric "pressed in love's hot fevered iron like a stripéd pair of pants."

@lain age is just a number

@lain Antarctica is land. How are you going to cross it in a ship?

@lain Okay, friendzone me once, shame on you, twice, we know how that goes, but ten times, I can't even. Who gives her the opportunity to do that?

@lain I think "Award-Winning Author" means self-published.

@lain It's like "sorry, Mom, I was reading that book about college dares from the 2000s again." https://achewood.com/2006/01/17/title.html

Seriously?

@lain Inflation.

@lain It's hard to approximate octarine in the CMYK colour model.

@lain It's X now anyway.

@lain Any word that they're going to actually give up ad revenue, or is it still going to be "see less often"?

@lain Well, it's bigger than usual. Maybe 20 minutes' worth.

Tonight's stream will be delayed an unknown length of time because I'm still eating dinner.

Live stream in about 20 minutes. Most likely Factorio. https://twitch.tv/matthewskala/

So, here's something that illustrates why people both like Donald Trump.

He says "you need voter ID to buy a load of bread" and that's obviously ridiculous. What a chump! Right? HuffPo quotes plenty of people saying he's out of touch.

How many people quoted by HuffPo have ever used SNAP, i.e. food stamps? Zero, I'm sure. But how many in his audience have done so?

On SNAP you actually do need a government-issued card to buy food. This is familiar to Trump's audience and not to HuffPo's.

@lain We'll try to get it right next time.

@lain Yup, there's definitely a skeleton in there.

Deserving praise here for not making any jokes about Burning Man.

@lain I think there are shared studio spaces you can rent that come with that.

@lain Unlike the USA, they said the quiet part out loud.
