Okay, I've gotten back to #BASIC, and this time I dug deeper. Seems like there are means of abstractions after all. There are one-liner functions (DEF FN) and multi-line subroutines (GO SUB & RETURN.) So I can actually structure my programs without #GOTO-s! Maybe I'll implement #ed in BASIC after all...

LB: Are you fucking kidding me? GNU ed, getting shat up with options and commands it doesn't need? --loose-exit-status is the latest to maybe sometimes don't exit 1 on errors? z to read $LINES and have a whole new paging command? Like you can't do that by .,+20n already‽

MY FUCK if GNU keeps up ed will be ex and vi and then emacs! IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT‽ ANOTHER GODDAMNED EMACS BUT NOW CALLED ED‽ SCRIPTING IN EDSCRIPT! EDORG MODE! FUCK!

"Per person familiar, "reduction in force" notices for the Education Department are expected to go out today at 6pm.

Nearly half of the department is expected to be🚨eliminated.

This obviously comes as Education Department staffers have been told to vacate the premises by 6pm today, and that offices will be closed tomorrow."

Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee are asking the District of Columbia’s bar association to investigate #Ed #Martin, the interim U.S. attorney in the capital, saying that he had “abused” prosecutorial power to threaten his political opponents.

In a letter to the bar association on Thursday, the senators, led by Richard J. Durbin of Illinois, the committee’s top Democrat, also accused Mr. Martin of violating professional standards by refusing to recuse himself from a case involving a Capitol rioter he privately represented and dismissing charges against the man.

Martin, a Missouri Republican who has used social media to threaten critics of Donald Trump and Elon Musk, has upended one of the most important U.S. attorney’s offices in the country.
He has purged nonpolitical career staff involved in the investigations of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack and at times directly interceded in prosecutorial decision-making.

Au final y a qu'eux qui pensent qu'ils sont pas purement et simplement macronistes. Ils s'accomodent très bien de la merde de #Macron. Tous fachos. En tout cas, ça en fait du monde pour qui je voterai (plus) jamais. Du #PCF au #RN. En fait, ceux qui jouent les aveugles et qui véhiculent continuellement cette idée de "menace" d'#ED qui resterait à distance comme un arc-en-ciel malgré qu'ils t'enfoncent toujours plus loin dedans depuis 10 ans, c'est juste qu'ils en font parti.

The top criminal prosecutor in the Washington, DC,
US Attorney’s Office, #Denise #Cheung,
resigned Tuesday after declining a request from her Trump-appointed superiors
to open a grand jury investigation that she viewed as premature

The direction originated from #Emil #Bove, the department’s acting deputy attorney general,
to #Ed #Martin, whom Trump has nominated as permanent DC US Attorney.

🔥Cheung, a long-time DOJ employee, had been asked to shepherd an investigation into an Environmental Protection Agency funding decision during the Biden administration and then use DOJ’s powers to freeze that funding.

Trump nominates January 6 activist to serve as top DC prosecutor

A right-wing activist who has consistently defended the January 6 storming of the Capitol has been nominated by Donald Trump to serve as the permanent top federal prosecutor in the city where it happened
Trump named #Ed #Martin as US attorney for the District of Columbia,
the top prosecutor for all serious local crimes by adults in the district.
His appointment must be confirmed by the US Senate.
Martin has echoed Trump’s baseless and incorrect claims that the 2020 election was stolen,
including speaking at a “Stop the Steal” rally in DC on 5 January, and consistently defended the actions of the insurrectionists.
