Stop having human babies before I find and shame the living fuck out of you. I am a big fan of hammers. No longer a tech addict and mostly militantly don't give a shit.

    Here's what’s happening in Rafah.

    Israel bombed Rafah in southern Gaza over 60 times in 48 hours, ignoring the International Court of Justice orders to stop its military operations there.

    Israel bombed displaced Palestinians in tents, killing over 30 Palestinians, including children.

    The scenes coming out of Rafah are horrific, resembling a massacre.

    Israel is burning Palestinians alive.

    This is a developing story.

    What is the best solution for those horrible tiny black beetles that always chew up my eggplant leaves? I normally don't use anything more potent than insecticidal soap but it barely has any effect on them. And although it's satisfying, I can't stay ahead of them by smashing them between my fingers.

    @hardmatter beetles, or scale insects? Sevin should work on either.

    Growing up in the 80's, when you would stay at home sick from school, you would get a little lesson on the history of television by watching the re-runs. Here are a few of the things I learned.

    Ok, if FuxWeather keeps referring to the Upper Midwest as "The Heartland," I demand that they refer to Texas and the Southeat as "The Assland."

    They're in fucking New York City and they say "impactful" like it's an actual word.

    Right-wing voices such as the #HeritageFoundation and #ChristopherRufo (the guy who manufactured a controversy about #CriticalRaceTheory to undermine public schools) have started speaking out about “recreational sex” (ie non-procreative sex).

    https://mastodon.social/@gknauss/111987571088494861

    My first reaction upon hearing this was “let’s put this stance on billboards, it will surely help defeat MAGA in the coming election.”

    He was the only other human I ever traded emails with that I felt really grokked PostScript.

    You can't. Fuck off.

    Postscript was and is amazing. Whatever you couldn't do in the lame "graphics programs" in the late 1980s, if your output could be redirected to a PS text file, and you knew what you were doing, wheeee!

    A picture of the Space Shuttle wrapped around a DNA helix? Ok. math for that was insane, but it worked.

    Mirror image of a mirror, wrapped around a nonuniform toroid? Yeah, ok. I got some gray hair off that.

    PS printers in the late 1980s were often more powerful than the computers feeding them.

    Enshittification describes how platforms go bad, which is also how the internet goes bad, because the internet is made of platforms, which is weird, because platforms are intermediaries and we were promised that the internet would disintermediate the world:
