Thinking about all the "knowledge bases" that will probably need to be purged because there's no way of verifying the provenance for the information in them.

trying out a new kind of vibecoding where I press the buttons on my keyboard and code appears on the screen. the code doesn't work most of the time but after a few iterations it usually gets there

*standing over a ruined roast* I just know that DNS is to blame for this somehow
Every major Dem politician needs to realize that, in this environment, they can schedule a "speech to the nation," like Newsom did, and get tons of media coverage.
Just do it.
The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.
Indeed, timeline is _everything_.
Beware of manufacturing.
Inside you there are two wolves. One is active, the other one is on hot standby and becomes active if the first one fails or is taken down for maintenance. Add more wolves as necessary for increased redundancy load balancing. A quorum badger can be added for environments with multiple active wolves.
Literally why the Impeachment Clause exists
New inspiring (to me) episode of TNOps with @eldomador.bsky.social - packetpushers.net/podcasts/tot...
So often under Trump’s presidency, we hear a situation characterized as “unprecedented.” It would be wrong to do that here. Refusals by state or local officials to enforce laws that the federal government believes them obligated to enforce? Threats by the federal government to prosecute them for resisting or inadequately complying with federal enforcement projects? Those are actually quite precedented. Such is the story of the enforcement of the 1850 Fugitive Slave Law. In 1858, Ohio constable Barnabus Meachem tried to serve a state kidnapping warrant on a federal marshal and others who had seized John Price as a “fugitive slave.” Meachem backed down when threatened with federal obstruction sanctions. (Price ended up rescued by a gathering crowd.) And there’s more precedent from Reconstruction. In a recurring scenario, the sheriff of Cherokee County, Alabama, found himself before a military tribunal after he called out a posse to arrest a detachment of federal troops and killed one soldier. And still more precedent from Prohibition, which, among other things, saw the federal conspiracy prosecution of the mayor and police chief of Casper, Wyoming, and the Natrona County Sheriff—whose refusal to go after bootleggers may have been as much a matter of personal profit as principle.
I don't know what to make of the Dugan case yet, but while we wait to learn more, I recommend reading this article www.lawfaremedia.org/article/sanc...
A large protest has started to grow at the federal courthouse in Milwaukee Wisconsin in response to the arrest of a judge in chambers by regime forces.

There we go.
Packets that don't receive a reply to ping comnand aren't truly lost; they briefly enter a low-latency parallel dimension where time flows differently. Occasionally a stray "lost" packet will reappear days or even weeks later. This phenomenon is known as the "Lost Packet Dimension".
Serious Q is is possible he was just holding the chart upside down
Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.
Reminder: this is the same plan Russian operatives offered to Paul Manafort in exchange for their help getting Trump elected in 2016. (See Manafort’s testimony in the Senate Intelligence Committee’s report.)
Keep your grubby, grubby mitts off. 😑
The #HandsOff protests are also crucial for the international image and perception of America and Americans, which have been hurt by both Trump and the lack of mass opposition. Today showed the world that there still are two Americas with almost completely opposed visions.
New York! 😳
Fifth Avenue is filled. Trump will hate this 🎉

This is what happens when people speak up.
In case it jades you that the previous record holder Strom Thurmond was filibustering against the Civil Rights Act 1957, keep in mind Cory's comment:
"I’m not here though because of his speech. I’m here despite his speech. I’m here because as powerful as he was, the people were more powerful"
I watched the final moments before Cory concluded the longest filibuster in U.S. history at over 25 hours. I encourage you to do the same.
If this has caused you to consider more on what you can do for your neighbors and your rights, then his filibuster was successful. It is a moral moment.
