How do you mention Dwayne Johnson (who plays Maui), but not mention the woman playing the character for which the movie is named?
I know he’s the Big Star™, but it’s called Moana not Maui.
For the record, the actress is Auli’i Cravalho. It’s her debut acting role.
The Washington Post details a 2007 Trump deposition after he sued a reporter:
For two straight days, they asked Trump question after question that touched on the same theme: Trump’s honesty.
The lawyers confronted the mogul with his past statements — and with his company’s internal documents, which often showed those statements had been incorrect or invented. The lawyers were relentless. Trump, the bigger-than-life mogul, was vulnerable — cornered, out-prepared and under oath.
Thirty times, they caught him.
Thirty times Trump said something that was demonstrably false. Thirty times.
This is the man America wants to be its president? Sweet Jesus.
Keep this man away from Twitter (and the White House).
It’s amazing the level of detail that goes into including (and catching!) the references.
It does make me realize that the Star Wars universe is vast, and I only know it from the movies.
Cogent rebuttal to anyone thinking about voting for a third-party candidate, or even worse, “not voting”:
But it doesn’t matter what message you think you are sending, because no one will receive it. No one is listening. The system is set up so that every choice other than ‘R’ or ‘D’ boils down to “I defer to the judgement of my fellow citizens.” It’s easy to argue that our system shouldn’t work like that. It’s impossible to argue it doesn’t work like that.
Of course, as in most things, The Simpsons Already Did It™.
Good overview of the two big new features in this update, Typewriter mode and WordPress integration. It’s the only place I’ve seen that lays out how to use the WordPress feature:
Here’s how Ulysses auto-populates the fields:
Title: the # level heading of the post
Category: the first tag you have placed in Ulysses
Tags: everything after the first tag you used in Ulysses
Slug: URL friendly version of the post title
Excerpt: The first ‘note’ you have attached to the document in Ulysses
Linked list URL: make the title a link, it grabs that link.
The linked list feature is neat, though I had to make changes to my WordPress them to use it (since it uses the “linked-list-url” custom field, rather than the one I use with Postilicious; I’ll have to write that up another time).
I use a lot of apps and I hit random bugs that frustrate me and I usually ignore because they’re not obvious or easily reproduced.
On occasion, I hit one that just makes me shake my head, a “how could they possibly screw this one up!” moment.
Redfin has one of those. I figure this can be the first in an occasional series.
Here’s how you can reproduce the Redfin bug (iOS app on iPad running 9.3.2 tested).
The entry field is missing and you can’t do anything with the app except force quit it.
(Force quit by double-pressing the Home button and swiping up on Redfin.)
Bugs happen. The question is, how does a bug like this happen? What is the app doing that switching out and back breaks it?
The map is amazing. Silicon Valley might be the center of the technology universe in mindshare, but certainly not in terms of job openings.
What’s remarkable about this is how candid A-Rod was in his press conference, making it clear that his release was the decision of the Yankees, not his own.
He didn’t choose to retire, he was forced out.
Still, he’ll get the rest of what’s left of his massive $242 million contract, about $27 million for 2017. That’s a lot of cash for “advising”.
The sad part is he’s leaving just four home runs shy of 700.
A gift to the cast from a group of fans. Remarkable work.
