Regarding Donald Trump’s uncanny ability to toss a word salad:
Someone ought to deaf-sign (BSL) what he says, run that through a round of Chinese Whispers, and translate back into English after filtering through a Khoisan language speaker without technical knowledge of, er… pretty much anything. When that’s done, ROT-13 it and run it through a battery of mathematical transformations executed on a sub-120MHz Pentium.
See, nothing random there.

How I explain Fark.com:
“It’s a news aggregator site with a difference; people submit headlines and go to the forums to excoriate others for the smallest thing, like making a Brussels sprout burrito. Would you try one, just to humour me, please?”
Bradley Wiggins is the latest target in the establishment’s moral crusade, a bunch of MPs being of the opinion Cycling’s sporting ethics have been breached.
They’re suggesting that drugs deemed to be legal by the sport’s governing body have been used to artificially enhance Team Sky’s performance in general and Wiggins’ in particular. No mention has been made of the possibility that every team at the top of world cycling might be doing exactly the same; that’d be inconvenient, hackers won’t have presented ‘em the evidence on a silver platter.
This sad bunch, by the way, is drawn partly from the MPs awarded a pay rise approaching double that of the public sector workers they’re tasked with awarding pay rises to. There’s the ethics violations, the obvious lack of moral fibre.
After it simply failed to tweet, I rolled the TwigPen code into rssupdatepnut; what follows is a repeat of my previous posts.
-mild bleating follows-
An updated version of my previous post follows. Executive summary: “Doh!”
-original below-
Oops! I forgot to git pull origin master the updated script from the rssupdatepnut GitHub repo.
Here’s the blog post announcing my tweeted notification of new blog posts: http://bazbt3.10centuries.org/2018/03/04/twigpen.
Daft Baz scratched head for a few minutes thinking the script’d failed for some techy reason. No, simply PEBKAC.
Am I feeling lucky?

It turns out I messed up here too, with the result below:
$ python3.6 rssupdatepnut.py
File "rssupdatepnut.py", line 81
TwigPen.postsomething(pnut_message)

IndentationError: unexpected indent
I’d better fix it then, instead of blogging about it!
