Butterfly is much less fun to say than papillon so I am using the standard process in the English language: deprecating a common-usage word and replacing it with a foreign word that I like better. From now on, all uses of the word ‘butterfly’ shall be deemed archaic.
Thank you for your patience during the transition.
@david_chisnall I'll admit that the only reason I know the word papillon is the TV show Miraculous, les aventures de Ladybug et Chat Noir.

Americans have a First Amendment right to equal access to official government statements, and President Trump violates that right when Truth Social sells early access to his posts, EFF told a federal court. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/09/ff-court-trumps-use-truth-socials-pay-see-posts-first-scheme-violates-americans
@eff Violates that right each time a post is sold early. Times number of recipients.

This is the kind of thing where you can never say it's excellent because if you do, your hubris dooms you to getting hacked.

@farah Oh boy.
I have shown this photo to someone and it evoked a very strong emotion in them. What do you think?

Hmmm... I'm not sure I see much.
I’m still digesting the global and historical aspects of this, but this US state chart is one of the most compelling I’ve seen in a long time.
I do wonder what’s with Utah, though?
And do you happen to know which dot is North Carolina? Presumably about in the middle on both axes.

I worked for 6 years for a company. One morning, they announced the company had been bought out, and 50% of the staff was immediately terminated in that same meeting. All remote employees including myself were immediately gone.
The executives' shares and options were worth millions. The options the regular employees had were underwater, absolutely worthless.
The news had a field day, announcing how a Vancouver company had been sold for millions. There were press releases and celebration. No one talked about -- or knew? -- that 25 employees had been terminated. It certainly wasn't in the press release
We fucked over 50% of our employees to get here, but hey, we made millions!
Six years of extreme hard work at a startup, and I had a t-shirt and a mug to show.
Hadn't thought about it in a while. Guess I'm still bitter. #Startup
