Today I learned that "Qantas" is an acronym of the original name of the Australian airline: Queensland And Northern Territory Aerial Services.

Please enjoy the Light Crust Doughboys' 1939 song "We Found Her Little Pussy Cat," a bawdy song that I am amazed was released by such a big-deal band at that point in U.S. history.

My county is adopting a streamlined approval process for residential and commercial solar installations in the entrance corridors, which is fine, but I think we need an "install residential and commercial solar absolutely any way you want because [gesturing broadly]" policy.

In defense of my congressman, he is profoundly stupid, and probably believes everything he’s saying.

I can't say it enough: this "gambling on anything, anywhere, anytime" thing will be ruinous for millions of Americans, corrosive to society, and seriously harmful to the country.

Ten years ago, I was power washing my porch when I leaned on the power-washer's hot exhaust manifold to pull-start it. Its maker cleverly prints the word "HOT" on it in raised letters—branding the word into my palm, making clear that I was warned. Naturally, I live-tweeted the whole affair.

I have bad news about what this does for the cost of homes.

Let it be known: I have added Wilco's eponymous album to my "Good Albums" playlist. That is all. There will be further updates as warranted by further developments.

There are a bunch of software tools that join video calls for you, create a transcript, summarize the transcript, and email it to you, but not *one* of them is named nohup.out.

This Meta/Newsmax deal is so humiliating for Meta. You'd have to subpoena me to get me to admit I used a data source like that, and even then I'd file at least one motion to quash. I assume this is actually a performance of pro-fascism fealty for Trump, aka "viewpoint diversity."
