Was tucking in my son for bed tonight, and we got to chatting about Dyson Spheres. Eventually, the conversation led to him stating matter of factly, “well. Dinosaurs were pretty O.P., though.”
My 10 year old just finished a week of Dungeons & Dragons camp, and tonight at dinner, he declared “I’m autistic *and* I have ADHD — I’m multiclassing!” Adorable.

You dip one toe in the ESP32 pond and before you know it you’re swimming in dev boards, jumper wires, breadboards, rotary encoders, and tiny OLED displays. 🤓

Stunned that Red Bull is sticking with Checo. He’s got less than half the points of his teammate and has shown no signs of improvement. Not a Red Bull guy, so it’s at least good for the lols #F1

@jonathan People are insisting it's the money, but I think we can't underestimate the Horner/Marko power struggle. Horner is giving Checo the support he didn't give to any other #2 driver because Checo is a proxy for him in that fight.

Finally some luck goes Charles’ way. Pole position thanks to Max’s grid penalty and Checo’s continued lagging performance compared to his teammate. Strong lap too, but it’s clear that the car is still way too slow. Hoping for a podium tomorrow! #F1

Having a blast tinkering with OpenHASP. I found a Waveshare ESP32 controller with an integrated touch screen, and it’s a perfect device for a small IoT project.
That said, if Kamala is the nominee, buckle up for a shitload of racism and misogyny from the other side. It is going to be a shitstorm of folks showing us precisely who they are.

@jonathan Not that I wish that on Kamala, but I think it would be beneficial here, with all that's on the line, for the mask to come off the R side of things. A black woman running will send them fully into racist & misogynist orbit.
@cleverdevil There's even a word for the combination of the two, misogynoir.

@jonathan the one thing that mitigates this, at least a little, is that racial base is already riled up and ready to go. So at least that shouldn’t impact voter turnout much. The mysogony, though, I’m less sure about.
Kinda feel like the US is about to take our final exam, and I don’t think we’ve studied enough
@KimberlyHirsh @cleverdevil may we live in a world where this no longer needs to be a word.

@cleverdevil My sincere hope is that the white nationalism is not what unites people voting for Trump and that they do indeed show their true colors to the rest of the GOP. It might split the Republican vote to convince just enough of them not to show up at the polls.

@cleverdevil Sad but true. During the 2020 debate between Harris and Pence, I saw a Facebook “friend” publicly refer to Harris as an “uppity b****” and lots of others responding in approval. A sickening reminder of how much racism and misogyny is out there.

Also, how in the WORLD did Max not get penalized for colliding with Lewis? Or for gaining an advantage on lap one for that matter? Absolute garbage. Max can do anything he wants. #F1

@jonathan He did give back the place in the lap one incident.
Absolutely. He was still under investigation and reported “no further investigation,” but maybe that was just because he gave back the place.

as for the incident with lewis, I haven't read the stewards decision yet but my guess is lewis turning in earlier than his usual spot gave them enough to justify a "both sides" racing incident decision
, Jul 21 2024 on bsky.app
Lewis called it a racing incident, Max begged for blood, the stewards were like “you know what this seems like you guys have some history here, we’re gonna let this go.”
, Jul 21 2024 on bsky.app
Yeah I think there is some logic to that, but Lewis was ahead and Max was obviously driving angry. I’d wager that literally any other driver would have been penalized.

The biggest takeaways from today’s race:
(1) McLaren is utterly foolish… one of the dumbest team orders in history
(2) Verstappen is a baby

Was driving today in LA and passed a strip mall that had a store with a bigass sign that just said “WARHAMMER.” I bet that store rules. 😂

This season of The Boys couldn’t be more heavy-handed even if both of its hands were made of iridium. Woof.

Hopelessly addicted to the pineapple cake at Starbucks. Their coffee isn’t great, but that cake rules.
Watched the new Ghostbusters on my flight back to LA from New York today. Maybe blasphemous to say, but… I liked it a lot! Afterlife showed promise but didn’t pull it off. I think Frozen Empire did.

Experimenting with dirt cheap Android tablets has been very instructive and fun. It makes me want sideloading on iOS and iPad OS even more. Running Termux and a local, native X11 environment is fantastic. I hope the EU punches Apple into allowing sideloading.

I’m convinced that “undecided” voters aren’t struggling to pick a candidate, they’re struggling to decide if they should vote at all. I bet the vast majority of them would vote for Biden if they show up to the ballot box. Tell your friends and family that are disenchanted to hold their noses and vote for Biden.
@jonathan Alternate take, from somebody who is decidedly not a Democrat not particularly enthused about Democratic candidates as a rule.
Vote for Biden in 2024 so that we can still have free and fair elections in 2028.
Pretty difficult to reform public policy in a dictatorship, and democracy itself is on the ballot this year.
@jeff Bingo. (FWIW, I don’t consider myself a Democrat either. I find the party maddeningly incapable of playing the game of politics.)
@cleverdevil Good and evergreen advice. It's always about the turnout and almost never about undecideds

@jonathan look only 60% of the electorate turned out at the U.K. election last week as folk are so fed up with what’s on offer. Our new Gov’s majority is built on sand as only 20% of the electorate voted for them. But what emerged was a surge in third party and Independent votes. Few were interested in the ‘big two’ The USA is no different. If people are indifferent to both they will not turn out or support a third party candidate if on the ticket.

But, I’m almost writing off the rest of the season as a Ferrari fan. All of the momentum of the strong start has evaporated, the strategy blunders have returned, and the car is not improving. Such a shame. #F1
That has to be the race of the season, without a doubt. So many cars in contention, lots of overtaking, drama, strategy, and ultimately an incredible moment for Lewis after such a long wait. #F1
