Categorically insulting all of America for what happened yesterday is toxic behavior, and any of those engaging in it now should be ashamed of themselves. Some of our votes don't count because of the electoral college. Some of us are disabled or otherwise struggling and can't afford to move to places where it might, or can't move for other reasons. Some of us don't just show up and virtue signal at the polls every 4 years--we're actively fighting for marginalized folks the rest of the time as well. Some of us actively have our votes and voices taken away. I could go on and on and on and on and on.
You want to grieve with us or insult leadership, or even criticize the ones who voted for that fascist asshat? Fine. But tell us all we chose this, paint us all with one brush, and shame on you, and I hope for your sake no one kicks you the next time you have occasion to feel grief and hopelessness despite your efforts to change course. And when you do grieve, I hope you remember this moment and these words, and that someone might have kicked you when you were down too but didn't.
And anyone who says "it's fine, we're just being hyperbolic" can go fuck their hyperbolicism, and themselves for that matter, with a rusty nail. That's all my social media contribution for the day, thanks for joining me on my journey of self-expression.

2. Lots of people have already found and asked me about the Casio fx-180P calculator on the table behind me 😀 (no, I don't use it)
Semifun fact:
My seventeen years old son forgot his calculator with his mum, and is at this very moment using my fx-180P during his physics test today.

OK, my one and only political post as it honestly doesn't engage me.
Am I alone in thinking it's really messed up to allow a convicted criminal to even run for presidency, let alone be able to take office.
What kind of message does that send out?
There's probably some merit in the idea of the government we deserve.
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.
(I'm talking about a wall to protect Canada)
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.
