I'm gently arguing with the Bernie Bros on my friendslist to point out how much Sanders and his supporters have pulled Clinton to the Left during the election cycle.
At this point I really don't care when Clinton signed on to my side of various issues, given that her opponent is still on the opposite side drumming up racism, homophobia, and misogyny.
Ha! I emailed my mom for sympathy about my dad (because she had to live with it for 14 years), and she replied "Oh sweetie, shut him down fast when he does that. I wanted to punch him in the mouth every time he used 'female' as a noun."
The coffee came in a silver-colored pot with a rustic mug for decanting into and drinking from. The milk steamed in a jug. Jack lifted coffee in his right hand and milk in the left, pouring both simultaneously into red stoneware. The rich, brown scent, mellowed by dairy sweetness, rose on coils of steam. The first sip floated him on a bubble of well-being. He closed his eyes and sighed, hands caged loosely around his cup.
sigh ... my coffee experience is never quite like this .... (from "The White City" by Elizabeth Bear)

I don't have a silver pot. But the bubble of well-being is spot on.
I've decided that I'm finally going to release my book 'Cog'. I feel like if I keep waiting for the right time, then I'll never release it.
Gudanov, yes, JavaScript, which is evidently notoriously picky about event listeners and closures -- I feel like I accidentally walked into a land war in Asia that I didn't know was there.
BUT, I found an understandable explanation and example on the web, and triumphed in getting my program in line with it, and the icon-switching that I wanted (where you have buttons to click the pictures of, and the JS adds the onclick function to do it) works like whoa.
I feel like I should stand up in front of a temple and proclaim "TODAY I AM A PROGRAMMER."
In other news, Muppet is hanging in there without any evident distress and my bridge still hurts, but at least I got this one thing working for me....
Gud, I support you in that. There's never a precisely right time. Release the book!
I am not even thinking about the possibility that Trump might win because it is unthinkable.
