The Trump honeymoon is over:
Republicans and Democrats have written a bill that will finish off Putin, by adding 500 percent tariffs on all countries that import from Russia.
There is overwhelming bicameral support for the bill, and now Trump will have to explain why he is willing to ruin the US economy but not Putin's economy.

Well, the FOTUS had better things to do than to be at Dover Air Force Base when the Air Force transport with the four caskets onboard arrived. Thereβs actually a part of me that thinks the bastard didnβt go because it was the Obama administration that in 2009 shortly after he was inaugurated the first time that changed the policy that allows the opportunity for family members to be there as well as a media presence.

Prompt update to Wiki entry for Heard and McDonald Islands:
"Despite the islands having no imports, exports, or human inhabitants, the United States implemented a 10% tariff against them in April 2025."
If one of Elon's 20 year old galaxy brains shat out the list Trump was so proud of yesterday, I wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised.

Now that I want to compile a book in #Scrivener, it keeps only exporting only in the first page of each chapter. Makes for a shorter book, sure does. Can't find an option to export the entire chapter. Help!
I guess I'm going to RTFM. I do dislike doing that, but π± π π .

Oh, yay me, I found a #scrivener bug in the newest version. I just wrote it up for Literature and Latte. I had a reputation as a programmer as able to discover bugs nobody else ever found, maybe because I'm neurodivergent?
Here is a few samples of misrendering that is preventing me from creating a manuscript of any sort.
Image 1: Scrivener screen shown. Note on the left that a header overwrites text. The two page view only shows the first page of at least two in the file. This result is mirrored in export when compiled in any format.
Image 2: This is a scrivener screen with Show Invisibles on.
In this case, the next paragraph is shown on the second page, but it appears to be in some sort of layout box which is editable. Instead of being truncated like most of the chapters (and the other image), the text shows up on page three. This is also how export compile formats it.
Edit: Second image actually truncates the file on the third page and presents a blank page on the fourth. At least it is consistent!

Problem solved! Not a #Scrivener bug, but this happened because I do things differently.
Issue: Scrivener can't export more than a page of a file, it gets truncated or misrendered. Page view with Show Invisibles shows a red box surrounding the text.
Problem: Table formatting has be inadvertently applied. This can happen when you copy text from a web page into the file. In my case, I copied it to a template, then used the template on every single file.
Solution: Turn on View > Text Editing > Show Invisibles. Find the red box. Use > Format > Tables > Remove Table.

A gentle reminder to the Canadians in my feed. While the polls currently look well for the Conservatives to NOT form the next government, that means nothing if you don't get out and vote. And get out the vote. Complacency because of favourable polls can wreak havoc with the actual results.
Vote this election. #ABC #CanadaVotes

On my third cup
And managing minimal level of functionality as yesterday took a lot out of me. Today's plan is grooming, cleaning, and not much else.
Yesterday was fun, was under a tornado watch all day. Knowing I wouldn't be up to working #today , I rejected today's shift with the message 'Need extra time to get home from Oz'. That might get me in trouble, but it's worth it.

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS:
It has come to my attention that several agencies are now offering WiFi for you to use with your PERSONAL devices.
If I were you, I would NOT use that WiFi.
I suspect it's a way for DOGE to monitor your personal communications.

@mattjohns it is 1973 and I am in a once a generational financial crisis... isn't capitalism awesome!
Hey friends! First - we're not on the brink of a shutdown or anything, but we are currently scribbling a lot of numbers on the back of envelopes and oh boy there are a lot of numbers!
A lot of things need to change soon, because the USD conversion rate is not doing us any favours. It's now costing lots more to run pretty much the same stuff as we were last year.
There are some good options we're considering, but everything has tradeoffs in some way or another. Expect more on this soon!
If you can, financial support is always appreciated, but we're not in danger right now so please prioritise those who are.
