Transcript:

Flynn (labelled as "Implementation detail"): [takes a look at the satchel of Private API when suddenly...]
Rapunzel: [knocks Flynn out with the frying pan of Terrible hack]

--

Rapunzel: [drags Flynn (Implementation Detail) to the cabinet of Public API]

[tries to push Flynn into the cabinet: fails]

[tries to swing Flynn into the cabinet with her hair of Dependency Injection: the hair gets stuck]

[thinks]

[shoves Flynn into the cabinet and closes it: Rapunzel turns around; the cabinet suddenly opens and Flynn falls on top of her]

[squashes Flynn into the cabinet with the broomstick of `sed -e`, slams the door with "GitHub Actions: FAIL". Flynn's four fingers stick out of door; Rapunzel pushes each in. A letter of "FAIL" disappears with each finger]

[wedges the door closed with the chair of `// FIXME`]

Rapunzel: Okay, okay, okay. I exposed the function to the API.
I'm "adding too much tech debt", huh, pull request reviewer?
Tell that to my terrible hACK! (accidentally whacks herself with the frying pan)

Refugees in Libya (@refugeesinlibya), who've been abandoned by the gaslighting organization that is the UNHCR, and the EU's funding of criminals to deter refugees by any means necessary, have a 2 day campaign. The only reason I've followed their unbelievable plight is because of their voice on Twitter. They've created an account on Mastodon so I suggest everyone follows them here so that we can amplify their voices once they catch their breath & setup a presence here.

The Supreme Court was always going to be skeptical of the independent state legislature theory, even the conservatives. Surprise about that comes from being largely ignorant of the Justices' jurisprudence, instead believing only that conservatives like bad things, ISL is a bad thing, therefore the conservatives on the court will like it. The conservatives like all kinds of bad things, but to understand why and which ones, you need to know their legal philosophies, not just believe they're evil.

11th century Venetians wanted to take the relics of St. Nicholas home from Myra.

When they got there they were told sailors from Bari had already taken the saint. They were offered St. Nick' uncle as a consolation prize. Just then, they smelled the scent of holy relics and found bones that surely belonged to St. Nick.

For centuries both Venice and Bari claimed they had the REAL saint.
Modern research proved the bones belong to the same man. So, they each got half of Santa.

Protest matters. Protest just helped stop the SFPD from having the right to use deadly force using robots, a policy that the board of Supervisors overwhelmingly supported in a vote just last week. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/12/victory-san-francisco-bans-killer-robotsfor-now
