"Warping the truth" isn't the flex they think it is.

The wording in the article was not the best, easy mistake to make.

They also claim to have "revealed an additional grave, previously unknown security breach at the highest levels in Washington." Though the article does not divulge details.

Not really. Context:

As such, the reporting has revealed an additional grave, previously unknown security breach at the highest levels in Washington. Hostile intelligence services could use this publicly available data to hack the communications of those affected by installing spyware on their devices. It is thus conceivable that foreign agents were privy to the Signal chat group in which Gabbard, Waltz and Hegseth discussed a military strike.

They are referring to this reporting as having "revealed an additional grave, previously unknown security breach".

I don't rely on others for help.

Keep telling yourself that.

I recall hearing that professional poker players hate playing against novices, because novices are so unpredictable. It's really hard to plan a defense against someone(s) who are so incompetent that you have no idea what's going to happen.

Dog was in a crate, dehyration. Two other dogs which were not confined are recovering in new homes.

Betsy died from hantavirus. Gene had advanced Alzheimers/dementia, as well as a history of heart trouble, but he did not have hantavirus. Whether the heart troubles killed him and he fell in place, or if he fell and couldn't get up is unknown.

Our radio shell will never reach alien civilizations because of the very low power and the inverse square law. The signals will be weaker than the CMB before they get any real distance.

  • Panhandling does not produce enough income to maintain a residence; if you think it does, go try it yourself.
  • Shelters are often highly restrictive, crowded or full, and more dangerous to person and property than hiding out somewhere.
  • There is a relatively high correlation between mental illness and homelessness. Pile on top of that substance abuse as self-medication. This makes navigating the bureaucracy that is HUD very difficult.
  • Fuck you.

Stores will often use the cents portion of the price as an identifier for where it is on the markdown schedule. $xx.99 - that's usually full price, the highest it will ever be. Others would be for things like "first markdown" or "don't markdown" or "last markdown."

I think that you're a cop.

What's a court order for if not to be defied?

I disagree. I think that it's a product of capitalism. Wealth is still primarily gained by inheritance, but everyone used to know that, and so whether someone was a tit was not connected with how much wealth they possessed.

The capitalist lie is that if you're rich, or poor, or somewhere in between, you deserve it.

 

Trump supporter Rick Fuze was arrested in Berkeley for using a stun gun on peaceful protesters outside a Tesla dealership. Fuze claimed they were paid protesters and he went there to show his support for Musk and DOGE.

Whatever you think about the specific acts being charged here, there are plenty of lessons to learn.

There are cameras everywhere, and some of them are connected to license plate readers.

 

ACLU has a web form for submitting comments on this document:

https://www.regulations.gov/document/DOS/_FRDOC/_0001-6771

The offending part of that document:

To comply with E.O. 14168, “ Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government,” the Department updated the form to replace the term “gender” with “sex.” The U.S. Passport conforms with the standards set by the E.O. and the International Civil Aviation Organization, which among other things determine the various fields on the passport's biographical data page. Consistent with the E.O., the revised DS-11 will request the applicant's biological sex at birth, male “M” or female “F.” Amendments to the fields and instructions (section 3) have been made to reflect this.

If you’re concerned about having your name on record, you can submit comments anonymously on the federal register website: Application For Passport (DS-11), Renewal Application (DS-82), and Replacement, name change, correction (DS-5504).

Stand up, indeed.

Not entirely "new," and not mine - but there was some interest in such a thing expressed over the weekend.

That is all.

 

This place came up in conversation over the weekend. I'd made a similar thing back when kbin.social existed. It didn't take off at all then, and went down with the ship.

That was well over a year ago now, and the landscape has changed (in oh so many ways). Seems like a good time to jumpstart something like this again, and so ... here I am.

 

Wondering if anyone has had success with an automod. This one was brought to my attention, which I'm told "should work," but I would be interested to know other people's experiences.

When Arlo was a little puppy, he would sit like this, with one hind leg kicked way out to the side. I started coming over and saying "CHICKEN LEG" and then grabbing the top part of that leg and giving it a few squeezes.

He still sits like this. I still squeeze the chicken leg.

 

Private security dragged out a woman who had been interrupting a Kootenai County Republican Central Committee legislative town hall in Idaho Saturday as Sheriff Robert Norris stood by, spurring a disagreement between the sheriff and Coeur d’Alene’s police chief over the First Amendment implications of the incident.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Whoever did this, hats off to you.

Edit: Whoever took this video and posted it, hats off to you, too. It takes a village.
