Men at Work is a dexterity game that I think I like watching more than I like playing.

I've only played it about half a dozen times. Every time it has ended not because someone collected sufficient Employee of the Month points, but because everyone else loses their safety certificates. Thinking back, I'm not sure I've seen anyone survive long enough to earn Employee of the Month...

Reminder that the only safe dummy domains to use are:

- example.com
- example.net
- example.org
- example.edu

And nowadays there's also a safe dummy TLD: .example

These are safe because they are reserved by IANA as as special-use domain names for documentation purposes.

Any other domain can be registered and as such should _never_ be used as a dummy domain for documentation or as eg. an example in default configs.

If you are a white leftist and you talk “both parties are the same they are both capitalist” you will loose most of your black audience. I think it ought to be obvious that this isn’t because blackfolks love Democrats (in most cases, there is always someone being simple in any group) —no. it’s because the difference between the parties is material and obvious and these are unstable times.

When I hear such talk I wonder if the speaker is working on voter suppression.

Flying pigs are supposed to be the epitome of the impossible, and yet the grocery store is careful to specify that this is ground pork.

And the Oscar goes to.. 😂
