Great moments in Scottish engineering history: James Watt tries to work out how his phone attaches to his selfie stick.
Statue of James Watt. In his right hand he holds a telescopic stick with a frame at the top; in his left he holds a flat object about the size of a large smartphone. He is scowling at the possibly-not-a-smartphone as if he is tempted to yeet it into the sea. On that basis, it probably _is_ a phone.

A proposal (thread): I feel agreement but also discomfort when I see BlueSky posts calling for prosecutions (after the elections) of Republicans over the crimes they're committing in government. It's right, but it's also all too easy to conflate it with Trumpworld's corrupt prosecutions. 1/

Trump just dismantled this so his blatant corruption and his cronies overseas can operate without consequences or detection. Organized crime is now legal and the US is open for exploitation by foreign and domestic criminals. Don’t expect Rubio to say a word.

It is a mystery to me why we make one horrible thing, losing your job, entail another horrible thing, losing your health insurance. Imagine how awful it would be if we all lived in employer-provided housing, so that being laid off meant eviction. Why is employer-provided insurance different?
