Costco had Halloween decorations out today, and while I fully understand their business model of selling seasonal stuff months in advance, I am deeply offended by the speed of the passage of time so far this year.

looks like I'll once again just add the child repo to the parent's .gitignore and keep them in sync manually diziet.dreamwidth.org/14666.html

needing to essentially symlink one git repo into another, and returning to my perennial "should I use git submodules" search and despairing—I've been burned by them in the past and hate them, but I guess it's still the only way?

Fucking unbelievable that the big publications are running with this as the lead story after the Supreme Court just promised to install a convicted felon rapist insurrectionist as Emperor for Life.

IMO this is a straight-up ageist and ableist image, no?

Seems like “No we will not delay this because Trump was convicted for actions prior to his presidency” would have been a reasonable response.

NEW: Trump sentencing likely delayed. Manhattan DA's office says it would not oppose a brief delay to brief issues surrounding immunity decision. (via Frank G. Runyeon, Law360)

Now that I'm fully aware of the ironies behind (1) rating this book at a website like Goodreads, (2) maintaining an annual reading goal, and (3) posting about it to produce content on a social media network, I can give 5 of 5 stars to The Ordinal Society by Marion Fourcade and @kjhealy.bsky.social

Living under authoritarian regimes is both relatively boring and normal AND incredibly corrosive to the human soul. These things can absolutely co-exist. This is why everyone needs to resist authoritarians, even people who privately assume they’ll be just fine.

The damage this causes across generations (even if the regime is short lived!) is so hard to grasp if you haven’t lived with it. It touches every aspect of life. It makes trust impossible, and without some level of trust and a belief in the possibility of justice, *nothing in society works.*

SCOTUS is telling us that it has completely signed on to the project of a second Trump administration, which is establishing an elected autocracy.
