Hearing politicians say "the rule of law must be respected" on this is tone-deaf. The law has been used as a cudgel to brutalise communities in Northern Ireland. Not to mention the fact that slavery was legal.

I can only imagine the go-ahead to march through Drumcree was an intentional, malicious attempt to reignite sectarian violence in The North.

They don't want equality before the law. They want supremacy. They're not even quiet about it.

Reason number 1 boils down to the thing I most hate about Node. The package management system is bad. NPM/NPX/NPG. They suck. pip is worse. In every single regard. venv can get in the bin. needing to use docker for basic functionality of a programming language is admitting the language sucks.

Reason number 2 is, of course, the "Python is easy to read" bullshit. Fuck off with that noise. It's not. It's *nearly* as bad as PERL. Write once, read never.

We have to use Python for at least two modules this semester. One of the AI modules, and music programming (CS322). CS322 relies on a minor revision ago. There are breaking changes between minor revisions of Python. This is reason number 3 that I loathe Python. Minor changes should not be breaking.

Honestly, I think Greece should legally acquire one of the Stonehenge capstones from Ireland.

The Irish footballers need someone to tell them about how the 1981 Irish Rugby team played apartheid South Africa, and how only Tony Ward, Moss Keane and Donal Spring refused to play. The rest of the team are forever remembered for sportwashing the apartheid regime.

We need better ways of handling this. When fines are just the cost for ignoring the law, you don't have a fine, you have "cost of business"

I loved the backing vocal and the harmonies were incredible, but the polish on the album version loses a whole bunch of the raw emotion that was in the tv version.

Rewatching The Vampire Lestat (Season three of the Vampire Chronicles rather than the film). Stained Glass Eyes is exponentially better as an unplugged than the album version.

The Stormlight Archive is getting a TV series. This makes me very very happy. Having a protagonist whose real struggle is with depression, and have that *be the point*. It was the hero I needed.

7g of basil for flavour. But you can infuse with whatever herb you like. Some people strain the cocoa butter and cream mixture afterwards but I don't. 625g of chocolate. Use whatever herb you want to infuse your ganache with.

Chocolate is full of fat and very good for covering up strong tastes. You can mix cocoa butter and double cream in a water bath, pour it into a mason jar and add any herbal thing you want to infuse the oil-heavy mixture with, place back in the water bath for about an hour (I use a sous vide at 60C).

Almost all of the bars I went to in the US were sterile. Whether it was Santa Barbara, Oklahoma, Monterey, or Seattle. The staff were always great, but the bars had no heart to them. Pubs in Ireland (I've never been to the UK) and Spain were designed around people, not selling booze.

No. You can't ethically watch the TV show. No. Pirating it isn't an appropriate solution. No. You can't participate in the fandom. No. Death of the Author doesn't apply here because it is not possible to "just separate the art from the artist". This lazy moral position is why there's a remake.

Reminder: Harry Potter is, at its core, a narrative about the continuation of fascism. The Minsitry of Magic undergoes no institutional change *precisely* because JKR is fascistic in leaning. Institutional change bad, personal change good. Stop missing the books. They suck. Also JKR is a TERF.

If, like me, you feel cheated by Bloodlines 2 Might I suggest that you acquire a copy of The Blood of the Dawnwalker It's by CD Project Red, so give it a few months for the patch lifecycle. But it's great story telling. Combat's a little souls-like for my taste, but there's helper UI elements.

Without saying your age, what is your favourite movie that came out when you were 20 years old?

The movie poster for the Lord of the Rings 2 Two Towers.

On the left, the black tower of Sauron, Minis Morgul in Mordor. On the right the white tower of Isengard.

The cast are arrayed in the space between the towers.

Why do cop shows insist on promulgating the "you have to wait 24 hours before calling in someone as missing". It's really insidious. The longer you wait before finding someone the less likely it is you find them. The first 24 hours are crucial. It's a really dangerous urban myth.

Okay. So. This isn't "The GOP". The Democrats leverage these tactics as well, which is why they don't make moves for the kind of institutional changes that are required WRT policing, first past the post elections. Also MAGA are willing participants in this. This is just bad faith all round.
