Anyone who thinks "is the colour blue I see the same as the colour blue anyone else sees?" is a deep philosophical question with no real answer has never been in a 2-hour meeting with a graphic designer who owns a Pantone swatch book, and for that I envy them.

Loops.video is in maintenance mode while we resolve some database issues.

It used to annoy me when stupid right wingers decided to just start calling the Democratic Party the Democrat Party.

It's weird and disrespectful because they intend it to be disrespectful.

But now I think about it differently: they're just too stupid to use words longer than three syllables.

Not that I have any great love for the party as a whole. I think the organization lives in fear and has become way too centrist. But it's better than the fascists.

@shauna I now wonder what is the world record for the number of cats ever sleeping on one person.

This explains an awful lot. The dialysis line, called a central line, goes into my chest, up through my neck, and down towards my heart vessels.

An infection here manages to get straight into the centre of your cardiovascular system. It can turn dangerous and nasty extremely quickly, and lead to total blood poisoning and cardiac infection.

Quite frankly, this scares the life out of me. I know how dangerous this is. I hope my medical team will get this sorted out as soon as possible.

AG Campbell Issues Statement After U.S. Supreme Court Leaves Block On Postal Service's Unlawful Mail Voting Rule In Effect https://www.mass.gov/news/ag-campbell-issues-statement-after-us-supreme-court-leaves-block-on-postal-services-unlawful-mail-voting-rule-in-effect

Excellent free zine about overcoming voting barriers.

"Plenty of people hit a wall when they try to vote. Their name is missing from the voter list. The mail ballot never showed up. The signature on the envelope doesn't match. Someone at the door tells them they can't.

None of that happens by chance. This guide covers the barriers that come up most often, and what to do about each one. English and Spanish versions are the same zine."

@fahrni The “TUI” moniker has been in use for decades, but not simply for a CLI program. Usually stuff like Borland C++ or Norton Commander were “TUI”; a user interface built with textual primitives.
