I figured I’d take a minute to offer my thoughts on Biden’s explanation of why he’s going to visit Saudi.

I appreciate that Biden seems to admit quickly that what happened to Jamal Khashoggi was really fucked up.

I released the intelligence community’s report on the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, issued new sanctions, including on the Saudi Arabia’s Rapid Intervention Force involved in his killing, and issued 76 visa bans under a new rule barring entry into the United States for anyone found to be involved in harassing dissidents abroad. My administration has made clear that the United States will not tolerate extraterritorial threats and harassment against dissidents and activists by any government.

Went out drinking with work friends the other night. Completely made an ass of myself and threw up in a beer glass. Well, mostly. The portions that didn’t make it into the beer glass made it on my pants, then the floor. Damn. I’m too fucking old. I used to be able to hang, but it seems like old age is finally ripping into me. That shit goes deep, too. Down to the bones, so it seems.

WTF, HOWIE!? 😂

I guess Howie posted this on TikTok and deleted it after half a day.

Howie Mandel Prolapse Video Shocks Internet: ‘Traumatized’

Man, I feel like I’m getting way too old. Went out drinking with friends last night, wound up drinking way too much and making an ass of myself in pretty much every way conceivable. Even threw up in an empty beer glass. Got some on my pants. Just not a great sight all around. Had to call in sick at work because there’s no way I’m making it into the office in this condition. I’m barely alright remaining vertical long enough to bang out this post. Blegh.

Strangest thing to hit my newsfeed today is that the lunatic fringe in Michigan is advocating for a candidate for Secretary of State, a Kristina Karamo.

Hoo boy. This one’s a fucking doozy.

“When people in other cultures, when they engage in child sacrifice, they didn’t just sacrifice the child for the sake of bloodshed,” Karamo said later in the episode. “They sacrificed the child cuz they were hoping to get prosperity and that’s precisely why people have abortion now. ‘Because I’m not ready. I don’t wanna have a baby. I don’t feel like it. I don’t have time. I wanna make more money. I want my freedom.’ So you’re sacrificing that child hoping to get something out of their death, which is your freedom, your happiness, your prosperity.”

Jesus fucking Christ. OK, so I’ve fixed my implementation of the “Even” theme. Turns out, as most problems do, it boiled down to “PEBKAC”. That’s right- Problem exists between keyboard and chair.

So, in my infinite wisdom, I had adjusted my config.toml to use language codes as most folks know them: "en-US". Right? Riiiiight?

NO. I said no.

In Hugo world, or at least this template’s build, languages are just “en” or “es” or whatever the fuck you speak.
