I am being a good little programmer and adding docstrings to some Elixir code. I hate looking at it. It so gets in the way of the code; see below.
I want an #emacs keypress that hides all lines between two regexps (One for @…doc…”””; one for the ending “””.) Weirdly, I can’t find anything. I used to be good at Elisp/Emacs programming, but I pretty much stopped doing that around 30 years ago. So looking for something similar I can hack on (or package that obviates the need to).

Someone I know is having a baby, and I ran into their spouse. We were talking about how the due date is close, and I said I recommended something like mealtrain dot com (preferably something less corporate) where friends and family can sign up to drop off meals on your porch or sign up for other things/chores without disturbing the new parents. He looked at me, perplexed, and asked why they wouldn't be able to cook their meals after having a baby.
I recommend expectant parents take daily pictures through kindergarten, because the stress alone leave blind spots that photo and videographic memories spur incredible information, joy, and #saudade.
Jews are 2.4% of the U.S. population, but now somehow we’re also responsible if any Republicans get elected, even though 71% of us have voted Democratic since the 60s.
People simply can’t run out of things to blame us for.
