We brexited. They've done a double donald.
I wonder what the world'll look like in a few years.
Don’t expect Chrome to support keyboard-operable scrolling regions until (maybe) version 132 (anchor link):

Only 14 versions past its target release!
Keyboard-Only Scrolling Areas
I have spent a few years banging on about ensuring scrolling areas on a page are accessible to keyboard-only users.Adrian Roselli
It's very disheartening to see so many already panic and talk of leaving a country when there's zero reason to worry until and if we reach any of those moments.

Many years ago, around 1990, I was in a bus with a friend, discussing UNIX process management. After a while I realized the other passengers were looking at us in a very worried way.
Don't talk about parents outliving their children, or killing their children, without saying you're talking about processes.

Now that it's no longer possible to rank in web searches, unless you're a content farm or a major publisher, it's a good time to ditch SEO, drop keywords, use descriptive headlines instead of catchy or clickbait ones, and write for humans. SEO won't help anyway, so let's help the readers who care.
Gentle reminder that most disabled people can NOT leave the United States. Countries don’t want to take in disabled, chronically ill and “high cost health users”. There are serious financial barriers to moving - leaving most people behind.
Spare a thought for all of us tonight - people are scared. Then regroup and find a way forward … we are stronger together.

turns we should even if they'd never pay for it.

There are no parts of the world that do not in some way rely on the US. 🙁
Not that the world would collapse if we were gone, but hooooo boy would you notice.
Today is probably the right day to rewatch the best video essay ever made (IMO). Nothing stuck with me that much: Carlos Maza's "How to be Hopeless"

How To Be Hopeless
To everyone who fights the plague -- on the streets and in our minds. If this video meant something to you, I'd love to hear about it.PATREON: https://www.pa...YouTube
I'll summarize the story for you so you don't have to waste any precious moments of your life reading it: Privileged American couple move to France and find out that France has its own culture **AND LANGUAGE** that they refuse and/or are incapable of learning so they hate it.
This was on the landing page of CNN, just under the election dross. This story of intolerance and incompetence was deemed important enough to be on the landing page. Marked as "featured".
Oh my, this reads so incredibly absurd: in France they have bureaucracy, we do too but it's different because we know it, also no frozen yoghurt.
What the hell.
Imagine, when you move into a different country they speak a different language and do things in different ways.
I'm sure moving is not for everyone and people will miss things, but it sounds like they just wanted to have the same experience, at which point why bother moving.
Yesterday's news leads me to forecast the next big thing in SF/F genre fiction: the Cosy Dystopia—a future or fantasy setting in which the backdrop is ghastly but the sympathetic protagonists are running a tea shop in the borderlands.
Think Warhammer 40,000 space marines, with added knitting. (Narrative focus STRONGLY on the knitting.)
Cinco apuntes sueltos:
1- Trump esta vez ganó el voto popular. Cortó fuertemente ventaja en lugares fuertemente demócratas. Eso se explica en parte por la insatisfacción con Biden pero también porque la persona estadounidense promedio (igual que la persona promedio en todo el mundo) se parece más a Trump que a Harris.
Esto que significa?
la persona estadounidense promedio (igual que la persona promedio en todo el mundo) se parece más a Trump que a Harris.
La reelección de Trump es una mala noticia para los pueblos del mundo.
Representa el autoritarismo, el pisoteo institucional, el matonismo tabernario internacional y el desprecio a la clase trabajadora.
Y por otro lado, es garantía de privilegios a los ultrarricos y a los genocidas.
En Europa, el trumpismo traerá aranceles y tensiones.
El debate que tenemos delante es si Europa asumirá el rol de sumisión para continuar con la agresión genocida e imperialista en Ucrania, Oriente Próximo y Asia, o si replanteará sus relaciones con EEUU para no pagar los platos rotos de su política exterior.
Por la parte que nos toca, es urgente deshacernos de la influencia estadounidense para que sus guerras no nos arrastren a la miseria y la barbarie.
Tenemos que explorar el nuevo horizonte de relaciones multilaterales que se abre en torno al BRICS para fortalecer unas relaciones internacionales de cooperación de y paz.
They don't have a big enough margin in the Senate to pass just anything. I don't know about the House, yet. They may stay as disorganized as they have been the last two years.
None of that is good... But hopefully it will be useful.
Yesterday, today, and tomorrow there are only three things you need to do. They have not changed and will never change.
1. Enjoy life.
2. Be someone you would love.
3. Make things better.
Every act, every word, every breath that is not one or more of these things is wasted. And there is not a single day in which you are not capable of all three.
