@snosrapkungfu I don't have them in front of me, but @annaleen wrote The Terraformers, which I think has some enby characters. I think it's a good sign that I remember the characters, but not their genders.
Also, I have a similar thought. about @r_emrys The Half-Built Garden.
@willyyam @snosrapkungfu @r_emrys I have enbies in all my books! Terraformers has a lot, and so does Automatic Noodle.
Original eyewitness report of the tirade at https://www.notus.org/congress/william-paul-mike-lawler-confrontation-antisemitism
I was able to read entire piece using “reader view” in my browser.
Meanwhile, over on bluesky a great post from Lawler’s Democratic challenger. (Lawler is the Republican congressman William Paul ranted at).

AAAAARGH.
Trailing dots on host names in URLs is the gift that keeps on giving, I said it already four years ago and it still generously continues to poke me in the eye.

@bagder My take: the HTTP spec is wrong and anyone serving a different site with a trailing dot is insane and shouldn't be accomodated.
@heidilifeldman "I was drunk" is a bullshit excuse.

I’m stoked that our candidate for Tukituki this year is Dan Scott, a very bright young man who I met last year. God knows, we need more young people in representation roles & I am really looking forward to supporting his campaign here! 🙌 #nzpol

The Guardian for the absolute win in reporting Paul Rand’s son’s apology for drunken antisemitic and homophobic rant.
![Republican senator Rand Paul's son William
apologized on Wednesday for a drunken tirade at a bar
in Washington DC, in which he reportedly told a
Republican congressman he "hates Jews and hates
gays".
"Last night, I had too much to drink and said some
things that don't represent who I really am. I'm sorry
and today I am seeking help for my drinking problem,"
William Paul posted on social media under the handle

@heidilifeldman there is a future Senator in the making...
I'd say, @vik, that you're on the horns of a dilemma. Kia kaha!
@vik perhaps something involving rope & pulleys/blocks-and-tackle?
Hey @Kels_316 how do you fix a bullet wound in the chest?

In order to install the new workbench I need to move the old table/workbench away from the corner so that I can clear out 5 years of alchemickal crappe and put the old table flush in the corner. So I have to move it where the ... new ... workbench ... is. Damn.

BREAKING: Signal, the #1 privacy protecting messaging app many of us rely on, is saying they will pull out of 🇨🇦 ENTIRELY if they're scoped into #BillC22 without large changes.
This should be our final alarm bell: we can have digital privacy or we can have legislation this broad and broken, not both!
@SteveBellovin @20002ist The underlying issue is devices that were designed for an older USB-mini or -micro connector that gets swapped right before production for USB-C, without adding the resistors to the circuit. USB-C doesn't supply 5V to an open circuit the way USB-A does.
@mattblaze @SteveBellovin @20002ist I have a bunch of devices around the house with this exact situation and it’s so infuriating. I would rather they just be anything other than USB-C so that I can know at quick glance it needs its own special cable instead of thinking it’s a true modern device.
