Last night's emails went out this morning. Still diggin. We'll try to get back on schedule tonight. #I don't see how we get out of this escalating shitshow with the Repubs and the election (still!) and the virus.

Why I need a JavaScript-like scripting language. I had a bug in a script I use to backup various files from my blog in a GitHub repository. It was simple enough to fix, but the script stopped working 27 days ago, so now I have a hole in my repo with all the missing days. This is the kind of problem you solve with a scripting language. Doing this in standard JS is going to be a pain in the ass. But I'll do it because I care. But things could be so much better. #Code should look like what it does. Languages could make it easier. #
Why don’t they sell small pickup trucks in the US.#
