Fucking RouterOS script is a waste of your life. I just spent an age trying to do the most basic shit with some JSON. Nope. Plan B. Create an endpoint on my personal API which does the data crunching, then farts out a RouterOS script. In this case, adding IP ranges to an IPv4 and IPv6 address list.

I will continue to use Markdown on networks which don’t support it (ie everything but Mastodon) until all the other networks grow the fuck up

I'm a committed polyglot, but if I'm honest, I'm a Rubyist at heart. `gem` can behave like `npx` now! ```sh gem exec cowsay aww yiss ``` Badass. Especially for things like `bundler`, `rubocop`, `json`, `httparty`, and `jekyll`. And, of course, the extremely important `cat` replacement, `lolcat`.

Some of you crusty bastards must have ten years on me. Was it this weird when Reagan (ie, someone who was essentially an actor before a pivot into Government) got elected?

This is what gives me the Arse about how disability is talked about. Wanted to find out what a Hensinger collar was. Looked it up. Found details of how it "improve[s] breathing, swallowing and feeding". No. Eating. Fucking EATING. You help someone eat. You don't feed them. You feed an animal.

Went back to the birdsite to lock it down and it's so desperate for my engagement that it's pushing tweets from Joanne at me. Nah. You were a decent platform. Now you're a particle accelerator for fascism.

Oh, shit, Servalan (well, Jacqueline Pearce) rocks up in THE TWO DOCTORS (1985). Essentially playing Servalan, as far as I can tell. Superb.

Do you a deal. AVOID SPOILERS FOR DOCTOR WHO UNTIL YOU'VE SEEN IT. In exchange, you have my promise of answers. This week. Now.

I would like to congratulate Russell T. Davies for making a Doctor Who episode about Space Eurovision and confusing the everloving balls off all the Americans

Starmer: we have to court the Right and invite GB News to follow us around and debate Farage or we will never win The entire Left: if you give us some socialist policies more than half the country will vote for you Starmer: but what about the fascists 🥺

Isn't it interesting how the bots on Facebook always target the right-wingers and phobes. As if they know that they're the ones hurting for critical thinking skills. Who'da thunk it?

There’s now a Rust version of `yank`. Won’t lie. I vibed the fuck out of it. Fed it the Python script and asked for Rust. The idea is to use it as a teaching tool. Likely FULL of bugs. Wanted to use Mise, so you can `cargo install git-yank`. Recommend sticking with Python, but knock yourself out.
