  11. This is #brilliant (from Democratic Socialists of America USA)

    “I used to wonder how it was possible that Trump could have won in 2016, and then again in 2024, given how emotionally #toxic and depraved he is.

    “I don’t wonder anymore. I think he won for that exact reason. Because he carried at least one broken shard to reflect the broken shards in millions of others.

    “If you’re a racist, you found your guy. If you’re a misogynist, you found your guy. If money is your only religion, you found your guy. If your heart is armored shut, you found your guy. If you mock the disabled, you found your guy.

    “If intelligence makes you insecure, you found your guy. If you’re a sexual predator, you found your guy. If you trade in #humiliation and #conspiracy and filth, you found your guy.

    “If you’ve never done a single hour of emotional inventory, you found your guy. If you cheat, stiff contractors, #bankrupt your obligations, and call it savvy, you found your guy. If you lie as easily as you breathe, you found your guy. If cruelty feels like strength, you found your guy.

    “If wh*** #grievance is your comfort food, you found your guy. If your ego is a black hole no title can fill, you found your guy. If #warmongering fuels your ego, you found your guy, If #empathy feels like weakness and #dominance feels like oxygen, you found your guy.

    “If he’d only carried one or two of these pathologies, he might have been dismissed as just another loud, damaged man. But he carried a buffet of them.

    “That was the appeal. Millions could locate themselves somewhere in the wreckage. They didn’t have to agree with all of it. They just had to recognize a piece of themselves in it.

    “It was never really about him. It was about the #Validation. The #absolution. The #permission. He didn’t invent the #resentment he amplified it. He didn’t create the #cruelty he #normalized it. He gave millions the #intoxicating relief of hearing their ugliest #impulses echoed back at rally volume.”

  16. File under "we can't have nice things."

    CoCreateGuid(), aka UuidCreate(), creates a unique value "with a high degree of certainty." It never returns the NULL GUID, and returns an error if it cannot create a UUID. This is guaranteed.

    But this was not always so. If your software needs to run on any older version of Windows, it can happily return S_OK and a NULL GUID.

    Microsoft does shit like this, just changes contracts and doesn't tell you when it happened. Or that it happened. #normalized

We have seen over the last eight years how #journalists for prestige publications have assiduously #normalized Donald #trump.

  39. I hate, hate, HATE the #term “affordable #housing.” I hate that we’ve #normalized it. I hate that we just accept that the #majority of housing, a basic #human right, is #unaffordable to much of the #population. Housing should be affordable as a baseline. If rich people want to add arcades and gold-plated hot tubs on top so be it, but #everyone, everyone, regardless of income level, should have access to a clean, comfortable #home with enough light and space to make #life worth #living.
