  • In the primary campaign your opposition is Jack Hopeful, a member of your own party. Never forget that you will need the support of all your party after the primary and never let your supporters forget it!

    This is a very touchy, difficult matter, particularly in a volunteer organization. You are certain to have loyal supporters who are simple souls, unable to think in terms other than black and white. To them Jack Hopeful is the ENEMY - they will commit excesses through misguided zeal. So also will some of Mr. Hopeful's supporters. Bad blood breeds more bad blood; in short order you can have a situation which is completely out of hand, which splits the party wide open, and which will render it impossible for your man to win in the finals.

    Since the nomination is valueless in itself, being merely a necessary means to an end, you must prevent this at all costs.

  • I always figured that "digested over a thousand years" was a bit of a misnomer. I'm inclined to think that the almighty sarlacc incorporates its victims into its own biology, and uses them up over a thousand years. Like, you spend a thousand years as an unwilling gall bladder in the depths of the sarlacc, until the process very slowly eventually kills you.

  • Trans people in Kansas are being ordered to surrender their drivers licenses

  • Should have just refused to send the notices. Make them try to remove her from office. Make them file suit. Make them send State Troopers to physically haul her out from behind the governor's desk. If Kansas Republicans are going to try to take one more large step on the "genocide the people of whose existence we do not approve," then there's no level of resistance that isn't appropriate, if you want to hang on to your humanity.

  • Google photos is alarmingly good at object and individual recognition. It'll probably be used by the droid war killbots to distinguish "robot" from "human with bucket on head."

  • Here's something I don't understand about these county-devouring parking lots: why are they all one level? Is it more than twice as expensive to build and maintain even a two-level parking structure and save half the footprint?

  • TIL Ronald Reagan was deeply influnced by SciFi when implementing policy. He reportedly initiated cybersecurity changes within the DoD after watching the movie WarGames and asking if it was plausible.

    Jump

  • That's arguably one of the greatest values of scifi, to get people to ask what might happen in a world where plausible technological or cultural changes take place, or what we could learn about our own world from such possibilities.

  • But I have a good feeling about tonight

  • I've got a kid, and I can confirm that I haven't had more than a handful of decent nights' sleep since she was born. I kept on waiting for my circadian rhythm to adjust to match the kid's but... nope.

  • It's not profitable to pay someone to drive a truck out to the most remote rural mailboxes in America, but we do it because if we didn't then someone could die for lack of their lifesaving medications getting delivered. FedEx sure as shit wouldn't run that route without it being prohibitively expensive for the resident.

  • If I recall correctly, not all papers would give Sunday comics their full space, so Watterson had to write his Sunday comics in such a way that the first two panels could be removed and the comic would still make sense. This was just one of the many ways that he got sick of getting screwed over by newspaper syndicates, and led to his retirement. That said, it also shows what a genius he is, because while the first two panels add to the strip, they aren't essential, and the rest of the strip is still funny without them. If newspaper comics had a Mount Rushmore, Watterson would be on it.

  • One could probably do linguistic archeology on the exact meanings of the words "serve" and "master" in the original language the quote would have been written in. I'm curious if the exact words would be cross-applicable with one's parents. But in a larger sense, no, I don't personally think that one serves one's parents. One is raised by one's parents, and may even be expected to be obedient to them, but to "serve" as one serves a master isn't to my mind an appropriate way to think of one's relationship with one's parents.

    No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
