Gosh it is nice to hear some real gospel sometimes. Thanks @jamestalarico.bsky.social nytimes.com/2026/01/13/opinionโ€ฆ



most english prefixes have a single, unchanging meaning (more or less, don't @ me about "inflammable"). anti-blah is always in opposition to blah. pre-blah is always before blah.

the "girl" suffix is an outlier. the "girl" in "girlboss" (assertive, independent) has little in common with the "girl" in "girldinner" (hasty, improper), which has little in common with the girl in "girlfriend" (partner who is a woman). the "girl" prefix is exceedingly useful for creating new distinguished categories, but unlike other prefixes, it has no fixed meaning. i therefore propose we use the "girl" prefix to distinguish words with competing definitions:

  • a "roguelike" is no longer "a game like rogue". to refer to these "traditional" or "old school" roguelikes, we can use the term "girlroguelike".
  • the kudzu-like spread of US english has corrupted "truck" to mean "ute caricature". what the brits call a "lorry", the rest of us should call a "girltruck".
  • one of computer chips, poker chips, potato chips (hot), potato chips (cold), or golf chips will become "girlchips".

I'm only slightly sad they got defederated for "impersonation". I wanted to retoot such great hits as "A new bug in the OpenJDK JRE runtime breaks all controller support aside from the Xbox Duke controller" and "the proton already come with egg roll".

how was the performance on your end? For me, it was not very playable with around 10 FPS. But I think that's my software combination that caused that. I run Wayland (Hyprland) + NVIDIA drivers.

This is deeply embarrassing.

When Andrew and I lived in Hahndorf, South Australia, we enjoyed taking a folding chair out to our Main Street in order to watch the bicyclists pass us for this very race. What I loved was how people would wait for the very last person to pass our leg, then we would all scream and cheer for them. YAY! Keep at it! You can do it! YOU ARE AWESOME!

I think the last person received more cheers than anyone!

State of Minnesota, Minneapolis and Saint Paul sue to halt ICE surge into Minnesota

"We, along with the State of Minnesota, and the City of Saint Paul, jointly filed a lawsuit to stop the federal governmentโ€™s unlawful, unconstitutional, and dangerous federal immigration actions in our state.

"We are suing the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, ICE, Customs and Border Protection, and senior federal officials responsible for directing the immigration enforcement surge in the metro area."

in reply to Bruce MacDonald

"The people of Minnesota are entitled to basic safety and dignity in their communities. They have the right to move about their daily lives confident that their constitutional rights and civil liberties will remain intact and will not be infringed. They have the right to go to work, take their children to school, and move through public and private spaces free from fear of violence against themselves or their loved ones by their federal government. They are entitled to access city services and use city facilities without being harassed by federal agents in parking lots. They expect that law enforcement, whether federal, state, or local, will follow the law, avoid creating dangerous and chaotic circumstances, and conduct itself in a manner that distinguishes officers from masked criminals. Indeed, being free from unlawful seizures, excessive force and retaliation are not a list of aspirations Minnesotans deserve; these are rights enshrined within state and federal laws."

@Michael Fenichel I'm working hard with people in #indivisible and #50501 to not only resist, but imagine the steps after we win. Because we will not have won until with have restructured things, so that our democracy is more robust.

Good luck! I'm just a weary old psychologist who rode a little wave of #media revolution as I was mostly doing cognitive and personality testing, from cradle to grave, and Earth to some far out places. Marched against Nixon and did some tours with bands post-Woodstock, tuned into social and group dynamics along the way. Fast forward,.... Help, I'm a Rock! Resting before the next rock rolls.
