I am thoroughly unimpressed with the SFMTA's very expensive “Biking and Rolling Plan.” Apparently, in twenty years, there will still be motor vehicles on every single city street! By then my own street will be “calmed, shared” so basically, still full of cars, driveways, double parking, intersections, trucks, and essentially, no change at all. Fuck this plan.

@tomjennings Isn't it the case that “LLVM Flang” can compile Fortran into the “intermediate representation” from which LLVM produces C?Unless I misunderstand terribly.

Over the break I read “The Year of the Oath,” a firsthand account of the #scandal and machinations around the McCarthyist attempt (1949–1950) to have all #University of #California faculty swear not to be #communist.

Neither side in this debate could declare total victory. However, the faculty took stands and obtained the support of ½ of the Board of Regents, and the oath as proposed was withdrawn.

Similar events could possibly recur, so let's consider this episode a sort of prototype.

@psoul I don't have this device, but it looks pretty decent at a lower price point than a DSLR:

@jwildeboer 1200 records is quite a lot of weight to steal! Good on you for moving forward.

EDIT: 1200 records is also the exact correct size of a DJ's vinyl collection 😂

@inthehands See “framing” à la George Lakoff. The Wikipedia article is super long so here is a pithier one:

@xenotar @dillyd Poço has an unmarked ô?! 😩

@xenotar @dillyd Is that because a native speaker would know different sounds for the ç and ss? I certainly don't!

Teño comentado sobre o vantaxoso que é a peonalización de #Pontevedra (#Galiza). Morei um ano na cidade; os demais lugares teñen moito que aprender dela.

Xa apareceu o que, segundo o xornal, é o primeiro artigo académico en tratala: «La transformación de las políticas de movilidad en Pontevedra: una ciudad para caminar.» Sintoo, escribiuse no castelán.

@liztai Sauteed kangkung with garlic for the first time tonight! Delicious.

TFG is welcome to act less assassinable if he prefers #uspol

Disgusting gutter squash.

@liztai What kind of vegetable is it?

@morph @arrrrrmin In case you want to study, I do see quite a few web pages on the topic of bonsai photography.

@morph @arrrrrmin Be the change you want to see....

Quick illustration of structural bias in the U.S. judiciary: the 9 justices on the Supreme Court have been seated during the last 9 presidential terms. Democratic candidates won a majority of the vote in 7 of those elections. Meanwhile, Republicans obtained a supermajority on the court! Could the system possibly be tilted in their favor?

@kingrat It's their deepest fear, being replaced by someone taller and hairier.
