He's also brutal on homeless people.

While many Democratic elected officials tried to posture as opponents of the ruling, some gloated. California Gov. Gavin Newsom seemed to celebrate the ruling with a photo op in which he destroyed a homeless encampment. In his newly released memoir, he writes that he believes addressing homelessness requires both “the carrot and the stick.”

His MO is throwing marginalized people under the bus to attempt to win points with chuds. Very similar to other establishment dems like Clinton or Harris. It still doesn't work. They were gleeful this time around to sacrifice trans people because they see it as an issue that doesn't matter and have no problem trading it to the fascists so they can appeal to the mythological "centrists".

    Yeah it's depressing. The mountain I live on is covered in dead oaks from the massive spongy moth outbreak a couple years ago. Ash trees are dead several years from the borer. Chestnut is history, of course. It's not all doom and gloom, but there's a lot of doom and gloom.

    I believe the term they used was "transsexual", which is still outdated but not as off-target as "transvestite".

    Billy hates his own identity, you see, and he thinks that makes him a transsexual. But his pathology is a thousand times more savage and more terrifying.

    I would settle for, "stores should have baskets". I assume people steal them because the store has the basket racks, but they are empty. Desperately foraging around the checkout lines like some kind of basket goblin yields nothing.

    Hannibal Lecter straight up says in the movie that Buffalo Bill isn't trans, I thought it was actually kind of progressive considering it was 1991.

    Having states, cites, countries, or even departments of government run their own mastadon servers would be great. I refuse to give my information to big tech just so I can keep up with public information. At the very least they should publish such things on their own websites, but these days those are rarely updated. Even critical things like wildfire information are posted on twitter and facebook.

    I was there, Gandalf. IIRC this was because emachines had a type of subscription program for upgrades. They were shit machines, btw. The power supplies were trash and had a non-standard form factor.

    In this episode Butters is visiting Niagara Falls as a tourist, but he is arrested for being a foreigner. Nobody cares about his passport or the fact he was there "legally" and he gets funneled into a huge prison facility called "Alberta Alcatraz".

    After several scary experiences he is in line for a phone call. When he gets to the front the guard pretends to not understand what he is asking for.

    • Guard: WELL, what do YOU WANT?
    • Butters: Uhh I want to make a phone call, please.
    • Guard: Puh-hone call? Puh-hone? What's that?
    • Butters: I don't understand mister. I'd like to call someone on that phone.
    • Guard: Oh THIS? DO YOU MEAN-

    The guard lets out a long, trumpet-like fart that sounds like, "fooooooooooone".

    • Butters: Wha--- what?
    • Guard 2: YEAH! YOU MEAN- (farting) foooooooooooone!

    Apparently this is how Canadians make the word, "phone".

    • Guard 2: HEY THIS LITTLE YANK CAN'T SAY- (farting) ffhhhooooooone!!
    • Guard: HAHA!!! (farting) fuuuooooooooooooooone!

    All guards start laughing at Butters and farting "fooooone". They can all apparently do this quite naturally.

    • Butters: B-but, I don't have to fart right now.
    • Guard: IF YOU WANT SOMETHING YOU NEED TO LEARN TO SPEAK CANADIAN!

    Butters resolves to save up his farts to get his phone call. Several days pass. Now trembling and sweating, a pale Butters can barely stand in line.

    • Butters: Oh man... I gotta make it...

    The inmate in front of him effortlessly farts "foooooooooone" and is let ahead. Butters is up.

    • Guard: YEAH? WHAT DO YOU WANT THIS TIME?
    • Butters: I want... I want... I... uh... UH.... ahhH!!

    Butters loses control of his bowels and sprays shit in all directions, then collapses. Everyone around yells in disbelief and disgust.

    A large inmate walks up and looks down.

    • It's OK little buddy, my cousin had that same speech impediment.

    Then I woke up.

    Prefacing by saying I'm a total noob to webdev.

    I'm trying to move my personal portfolio site off of Squarespace and onto some sort of static hosting. Since I know nothing, I'm cobbling together hugo templates and using LightBox2 to show image galleries. The blog I'm referencing includes LightBox2 using this:

    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.4.1/jquery.min.js" integrity="sha256-CSXorXvZcTkaix6Yvo6HppcZGetbYMGWSFlBw8HfCJo=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/lightbox2/2.11.1/js/lightbox.min.js" integrity="sha256-CtKylYan+AJuoH8jrMht1+1PMhMqrKnB8K5g012WN5I=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
    

    I would prefer to not subject people viewing my page to any external tracking if I can avoid it. My page has zero tracking/analytics for this reason. I briefly tried downloading LightBox2 and directly including it instead, and was able to get it working mostly, but some things were broken that I would need to debug. Before I do that I was wondering, is this even a problem? Is including stuff from cloudflare cdn like this sketchy? It's possible I'm being overly paranoid but I have no idea.
