Strictly on the Q.T.

by John Allison

Giant Days seldom entered a lecture theatre. I always felt that it was cruel to ask an artist to draw one, having done it once or twice myself. But Little Days goes where Giant Days dared not. I’m not going to lie: we’re still in a lecture theatre in the next comic.

Wine Mom Gang Meeting Minutes

by Kasey Butcher Santana

“What we are seeing across the country as organized gangs of wine moms use Antifa tactics to harass and impede Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents is not civil disobedience. It isn’t even protest. It’s just crime.”
David Marcus, writing in an op-ed for FoxNews.com

- - -

Belle Ave. Wine Moms Gang
Meeting Minutes

Date: 14 Jan 2026
The meeting was called to order at 8:00 p.m. by Emily in Lauren’s Basement.

Present: Emily, Lauren, Megan, Katie, Jessica S., Sarah, Jennifer, Amanda, Ashley, Jenny, Rachel, Stephanie, and Jessica M.

Business from Previous Meeting

  • Jennifer clarified that when she suggested complaining to the cops’ manager, she did, in fact, mean the Sheriff.
  • Jenny reports that the red wine did not come out of her rug with vinegar or hydrogen peroxide. She suggests cups with lids for the next meeting—matching would be cute.
  • Ashley apologized for comparing sleep training to torture.

New Business

  • Welcome to our new member, Katie. Giving birth is the most painful initiation, but she was also made to run the gauntlet of LEGOs barefoot.
  • Megan provided a refresher of hand signals to use in carpool line.
  • Sarah explained how to check if your auto insurance covers windows getting busted out by ICE.
  • Jessica S. offered to be a DD if anyone needs a ride home, because she is now sober and prefers Diet Coke. Motion approved with a toast to Jessica S.’s wellness journey.
  • Amanda reported on tactical fashion. It is harder to pull your hair if it is in a neat mom bun. Light layers keep you prepared to flee. She’ll find out where the soccer coaches get their whistles.
  • Stephanie found bulletproof backpacks for her kids; they might make cute diaper bags for self-defense. Milk is soothing after pepper spray. Breast milk even better? Save post-meeting pump-and-dump?
  • Jenny suggested that red lipstick was trendy in the ’30s and would look more sympathetic if you end up on the news. Reds with blue undertones make your teeth look whiter.
  • Lauren’s daughters interrupted meeting and were forced to give an impromptu report on middle school gossip. All children are beautiful, but we now hate Hudson P.
  • Jessica M. led a discussion on making signs for the next protest. Debate over whether or not to censor the f-word. Will decide at next meeting. Discussed the need to move on from puns on Hamilton lyrics.
  • Next time, everyone, bring your kids’ markers.
  • Rachel passed out baby monitors to use as walkie-talkies.

REMINDER: The first rule of Wine Moms Gang is not to talk about Wine Moms Gang, especially not to those narcs on the PTA. If you must refer to the group, acceptable cover stories are book club or Bunco.

The meeting was adjourned at 9:30 p.m. by Lauren. The next meeting will be held on Feb 13 in Sarah’s basement once the baby goes down. Bring your own wine.

How can I find out where the Windows caret is?

by Raymond Chen

A customer was looking for a way to find the location of the caret (the blinking line that indicates where the next character will be inserted). They tried Get­Caret­Pos, but it always failed.

Most window manager state functions that were global in 16-bit Windows became per-thread in 32-bit Windows, as part of the conversion to the asynchronous input model. The Get­Caret­Pos function returns the caret position for your thread. (Specifically, the caret that belongs to the current thread and shared with all the other threads that the current thread has been Attach­Thread­Input‘d to, either explicitly or implicitly.)¹

To get the global state, you can call Get­GUI­Thread­Info with a thread ID of zero to say that you want the information of whatever thread owns the foreground window.

GUITHREADINFO info = { sizeof(info) };
if (GetGUIThreadInfo(0, &info)) {
    if (info.flags & GUI_CARETBLINKING) {
        ⟦ info.rcCaret contains the location of the caret ⟧
        ⟦ relative to info.hwndCaret                      ⟧
    }
}

The customer explained that they were writing an accessibility tool that moves the mouse to wherever keyboard focus is. So they filled in the code like this:

GUITHREADINFO info = { sizeof(info) };
if (GetGUIThreadInfo(0, &info)) {
    if (info.flags & GUI_CARETBLINKING) {
        // Convert rcCaret to screen coordinates                           
        MapWindowPoints(info.hwndCaret, nullptr, (POINT*)&info.rcCaret, 2);
                                                                           
        // Move the cursor to the bottom right corner                      
        SetCursorPos(info.rcCaret.right - 1, info.rcCaret.bottom - 1);     
    }
}

But there are times when the GUI_CARET­BLINKING flag is not set, even though you can see a blinking caret with your own eyes. These are cases where the program with keyboard focus is not using Create­Caret but are instead drawing a custom caret that blinks on a custom timer.

We’ll look at that next time.

¹ Things that are local to the current thread (and any other threads it is attached to) include

  • The capture, focus, and active windows,
  • The input queue and message queue,
  • The mouse cursor shape and show count,
  • The keyboard state,
  • The caret.

In Windows 95, these things were kept in a structure called the “virtual window information” because it was taking what used to be global state in Windows 3.1 and making it local state, virtualizing each thread into thinking that it was controlling the show. The abbreviation for the virtual information was “vwi”, which was pronounced “vee-wee”. So you might overhear people on the window manager team saying something like “You can’t capture to a window that belongs to somebody else’s vee-wee.”

Giddy Trump Struts All Around White House With Nobel Peace Prize In Mouth

by The Onion Staff

WASHINGTON—Panting excitedly as he trotted from room to room displaying his prized possession, a giddy President Donald Trump was reportedly seen Friday strutting all around the White House with a Nobel Peace Prize in his mouth. “Aw, you can tell the president really loves that thing—he even hides it under his bed at night with his ball and his favorite rabbit toy,” said Secret Service agent Douglas Colman, adding that the Peace Prize’s 24-karat gold plating was holding up remarkably well against all of Trump’s slobber. “We were a little worried he could break a tooth on it at first, but he just growls at anyone who tries to take it away from him. Besides, gold’s soft, right? He’s definitely leaving a lot of bite marks in it. We should send that nice Machado lady a picture to show her how much he loves it. Just look at that smile! That’s one proud commander-in-chief. Okay, Mr. President, you’ve got to drop it so you can eat your dinner now. C’mon, dinnertime! Drop it!” At press time, Colman was heard wearily calling for his colleagues to get Marine One ready to go to Walter Reed after Trump swallowed the medal.

Eerily Calm Draymond Green Returns From Halftime With Large Scar On Forehead

by The Onion Staff

SAN FRANCISCO—In a jarring departure from his usual brash, confrontational on-court behavior, Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green reportedly returned from halftime of Thursday night’s game against the Knicks eerily calm, sporting a large scar on his forehead. “Angry noise gone from Draymond head…Draymond good boy now,” said Green, who sat on the bench petting a gerbil after setting a screen and then just standing still drooling as the play moved to the other end of the court. “Draymond make no more basketball problems. Only nice basketball.” Despite his newly tranquil demeanor, sources confirmed Green was still assessed a technical foul late in the third quarter after wandering onto the court during a live ball and smiling serenely at things that weren’t there.
