It’s still more feature rich than Nano, with things like macros and multi-file search/replace from the command line though since I started using it, Nano has taken up some of the slack.

From an interface perspective, what’s the advantage of leaving the vote tally clickable in when voting buttons are enabled?

I don’t? ¯\(ツ)/¯

Reaching under the post to continue on is more convenient as I’m not blocking the post with my hand.

I was unfamiliar with wordtsar, that’s amazing.

While I can use Emacs and Vim (adequately enough) I really feel in love with Joe back when I was first learning Unix.

(I did have a phase where I used WordStar and VisiCalc long after they were surpassed by others.)

No one even uses Vim anymore, you should just switch to Wordpad. It’s far superior cause you can type in bold and italics.

True love is the greatest thing in the world—except for a nice MLT—mutton, lettuce, and tomato sandwich, where the mutton is nice and lean and the tomatoes are ripe

I wasn’t suggesting it, that phrase is an older conservative trope from legal blog from 20 years ago that is clearly motivating the current Supreme Court. (The current strict scrutiny podcast references it too in a clearly sarcastic tone as well)

Stare Decisis is for suckers.

Real “tear down Chesterton’s Fence” energy in the GOP these days.

Chromebooks and iPads as the primary devices in schools have hurt the kids in my opinion. Too locked down to allow for exploration.

Same person…

If you eat a sausage or hotdog, it becomes a new sausage as it goes through you.

Probably true of rulings like Palmer v. Thompson too

TBF, “The Roberts Supreme Court paved the way for the current mess” is true for just about all of the mess going on right now. (There is a healthy share attributable to the past court too)

At least it wasn’t an Artax Meme.

Minneapolis and St Paul (Cross-River sister cities, St Paul is the State Capital) both have mayoral elections on November 4, 2025. The one you’ve been seeing mentioned more likely is the Minneapolis one where the DFL (State Democratic Party) endorsed a candidate for the first time in a bit and it was the challenger to the incumbent Democratic candidate, so it’s been in the news.

Probably not the mayor, the governor of the state was the VP candidate for Kamala Harris.

Highly praised him, stopped just short of endorsing saying he needs to know more about his policy proposals. Said there’s room in the party for dem socialists.

We don’t know their relationship, could be something they’d already agreed upon; you know the old “Coldplay, Hotwife” situation.
