Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

I really should read my own blog.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

The next time the wall wtreet journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

The willow is too close to the house.

Let there be snark.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

The revolution will be supervised.

John Fetterman: Too Manly for Pennsylvania.  Paid for by the Oz for Senator campaign.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

In my day, never was longer.

How do I get a picture from iPhoto to my iPhone? I can figure out going from iPhone to iPhoto, but not vice versa.

    Googling “iPhoto to iPhone” gets me this:

    create an album in iPhoto, put the picture in it and then sync the album to your phone. That will probably work.

    If you have Photostream turned on on both you can save from it to the iPhone.

    This has bedeviled me, as well, and it seems a glaring exception to Apple’s vaunted intuitive human engineering bit. I look forward to seeing the answers, myself!

    @RosiesDad:

    This is how I do it, and it works great. You need to specify that folder in iTunes while you have your iPhone plugged in (under the “Pictures” tab).

    What everyone else said. Either create album to sync in iPhoto and then specify that under the Photos tab in iTunes, and do an iTunes cable sync; OR copy into Photo Stream (you need to be signed in to iCloud and have latest iPhoto for that, and have it enabled under iCloud settings on your phone). It should show up in the Photo Stream album on your phone automagically (but I think only when the phone is on Wi-Fi).

    My general feeling is that if you already cable-sync, then do it the iTunes way, and if you never cable-sync, do it the Photo Stream way.

    Did anyone else see the “I was hacked video?”
    One route was via itunes. The point was that, who knew, when itunes first developed, that the itunes security would matter to you entire computing existence.

    the other route was amazon.

    The (ab)use of the AT&T teletype service for the deaf was interesting.

    I don’t know if this app is any good because I just downloaded it myself — but it’s free, apparently just for today.

    It’s called Image Transfer Plus.

    catclub, there are lots of ssh terminal-type apps in the app store.

    But if you want real scp access to your iPhone’s full filesystem, then you’ll have to jailbreak. Then you can drink your fill of unixy command-line utilities.

    I got Dropbox to sync 1Password on my devices, but found that I could move photos and other files around seamlessly. iTunes limits you to your computer and the devices you sync with it, but Dropbox lets me move files between home and work computers, my wife’s computer, my iPad, and my iPhone.

    More like sleepy black kitty is sleepy. Why are you pointing that thing at me human?

    @catclub:

    Jake has just enough white hairs to avoid being considered a witch’s familiar. When I got him, he had one white whisker, which was amazingly cute. Unfortunately, it fell out and grew back black. He even has some black claws.

    I do not like iPhoto. I still haven’t figured out how to export the pic out of iPhoto. On our desktop my other half has hers set up to automatically import photo’s much like cds to iTunes but I had to turn mine off because I just can’t seem to use iPhoto. I lost too many series of shots to the deep dark netherworld so I stopped it. Yea, I know it can be done but if it’s that much a pain in the ass I don’t do it. So I crop, rotate and resize in Preview. It works, and if I really need anything bad I can always use Photoshop, which is more cumbersome but at least it works relatively easily.
