Sadly, because he bought a megaphone. But Albo has shown a semblance of backbone when it comes to America, so there’s hope.

MAAA is the sound a sheep makes when the wolf has caught it.

Free lawyers for a vexatious litigant, what could go wrong?

FUCK YOU.

STRONGLY WORDED LETTER TO FOLLOW.

Well, put your hand on your head like you would a mouse. If you push forward what happens? You look down. There’s no “correct” way here.

You’re not kidding. While reading this post, I checked in on ThatOnePrivacyGuy’s VPN table in Google sheets. At the bottom of the table, there’s a link to ThatOnePrivacySite.xyz (the real site) but an ad popped up, as if it was the link you should click on, to ThatOnePrivacySite.net (a fake site). How are people told to ‘just do 10 minutes of research’ supposed to deal with things like aggressive dark patterns and soft linkjacking?

Edit: The fake linkjacked site recommends ExpressVPN as the top VPN. Haiyaaa.

Do you have a flag?

Just heard about Neil Gaiman, did he?

This is it for me. I’m tired of swimming upstream for my privacy.

He could’ve shown up at the Supreme Court holding a shotgun with “OFFICIAL ACTS” engraved down the barrel, but noooo

Yep, South Park’s not on the list of products targeted specifically at GenX.

If you were wondering, here’s that list:

This is a good insight that has wide application. For example in the context of investing: every portfolio is always fully invested, even 100% cash which runs the risk of not meeting the investor’s goals.

However it’s not always true in all contexts. For example in formal games, there may be a no-risk path to victory for you, where every move can be dominant. In this sense there is no risk in taking those dominant moves to win the game.

The position can be benign: funding and promoting the arts. I am, however, not going to bet on the Israeli culture minister being benign.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authoritarian_capitalism

Authoritarian capitalism, or illiberal capitalism, is an economic system in which a capitalist market economy exists alongside an authoritarian government. Related to and overlapping with state capitalism, a system in which the state undertakes commercial activity, authoritarian capitalism combines private property and the functioning of market forces with restrictions on dissent, complete lack of freedom of speech or significant limits on it, and either a lack of elections or an electoral system with a single dominant political party.

Next stop, elimination of the Democratic party.

oh, tots and pears

There are also plenty of counterexamples of helpful, sometimes even brave, bystanders.

Mustard can sometimes be the perfect ingredient on the side, or part of a sauce. There are a lot of different mustards, but the one I use the most is classic Dijon.
