What’s going on with my “boys” and, in some cases, “gals?” They’re all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a FANTASTIC JOB! We’re on one Team, MAGA, and I don’t like what’s happening. We have a PERFECT Administration, THE TALK OF THE WORLD, and “selfish people” are trying to hurt it, all over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein. For years, it’s Epstein, over and over again. Why are we giving publicity to Files written by Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan, and the Losers and Criminals of the Biden Administration, who conned the World with the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, 51 “Intelligence” Agents, “THE LAPTOP FROM HELL,” and more? They created the Epstein Files, just like they created the FAKE Hillary Clinton/Christopher Steele Dossier that they used on me, and now my so-called “friends” are playing right into their hands. Why didn’t these Radical Left Lunatics release the Epstein Files? If there was ANYTHING in there that could have hurt the MAGA Movement, why didn’t they use it? They haven’t even given up on the John F. Kennedy or Martin Luther King, Jr. Files. No matter how much success we have had, securing the Border, deporting Criminals, fixing the Economy, Energy Dominance, a Safer World where Iran will not have Nuclear Weapons, it’s never enough for some people. We are about to achieve more in 6 months than any other Administration has achieved in over 100 years, and we have so much more to do. We are saving our Country and, MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, which will continue to be our complete PRIORITY. The Left is imploding! Kash Patel, and the FBI, must be focused on investigating Voter Fraud, Political Corruption, ActBlue, The Rigged and Stolen Election of 2020, and arresting Thugs and Criminals, instead of spending month after month looking at nothing but the same old, Radical Left inspired Documents on Jeffrey Epstein. LET PAM BONDI DO HER JOB — SHE’S GREAT! The 2020 Election was Rigged and Stolen, and they tried to do the same thing in 2024 — That’s what she is looking into as AG, and much more. One year ago our Country was DEAD, now it’s the “HOTTEST” Country anywhere in the World. Let’s keep it that way, and not waste Time and Energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Did you know that a term for rape in shitty olden times was "outraged". I saw a historical account of knights who "outraged" a mothers children in front of her. The wording struck me as odd and it took some digging but I learned that "outrage" used to mean a particularly brutal and violent rape, brutal enough to cause death. I imagine they'd do things like run them through during or after or as part of the rape. Some kings and their knights deserve to die.

rk: it’s hyphen-minus actually

Not that I don’t have fond memories of all those systems but I feel like Commodore and Amiga fans have been particularly targeted by nostalgia snipers.

(I’m reminded of the “official Amiga keyboard” from a few years ago, which was just a cheap generic PC keyboard with an Amiga logo officially licensed by whoever currently owns the corpse of the Amiga trademarks.)

👏👏👏🙏 Imagino o valor da indenização para cada Palestino roubado, torturado, sequestrado, violentado, amputado, estuprado e morto (de sede, de fome, queimado vivo ou perfurado por tiros de covardes utilizando drones). A indenização ao povo palestino deve ser de trilhões de dólares, deveriam bloquear todo o dinheiro de israHellenses e quem apoia o Holocausto Palestino!

If China is the threat that Phillip Inman argues (and few will differ from the board shape of his assessment) then what can our (or other Govt's) do given the already extensive penetration of our political economy by Chinese institutions and money?

While withdrawal from the clutches of the Chinese state may well be possible, the costs of distancing will be higher (by design) that politicians may be willing (able) to countenance... if so, what next?

World must be more wary than ever of China’s growing economic power

Confidently predict that in 10 years time air conditioning will be completely normal in most of Europe. And probably largely solar powered.

Media outlets to use resources they set up for mushroom trial coverage to now cover the police’s structural racism
As the infamous mushroom trial comes to a close at the same time as the coroner’s findings in the inquest into the killing of Kumanjayi Walker found that former constable Rolfe, who killed the Indigenous teen, is racist and so is police force’s systems; the media outlets who set up teams to cover the trial will now obviously shift those recourses to covering the police’s structural racism.

“We’ve shown that when we want to, we can have entire teams dedicated to covering people being killed,” said one newsroom editor, “it would be a failure of our duty as news outlets if we don’t give the same attention to the people being killed in police custody.”

“Plus, the there is way more to cover here considering the amount of police brutality we are seeing not just in the Northern Territory, but nationwide. So many more deaths, and while sure none of them involve beef wellington, it would be ridiculous if that mattered in our coverage.”

This has been a very intense week. Monday brought a meeting with some fairly impactful news. Nothing I can't handle, but it will certainly influence the next 12 months. Tuesday was a demanding day, and on Wednesday, I tried to take it easier, but there was no way. Thursday involved delivering some items to a client, and the nice satisfaction of coming home with their baked goods. Yesterday was another tough day, getting home at midnight. All of this, of course, was on top of my normal work.
Additionally, there were two situations that disappointed me: one I expected, the other absolutely not. All of this meant that the nice plans I had in mind for today evaporated because my energy was extremely low. But, as often happens, I managed to put two ideas together. One was already in motion, but I'm adapting it for new uses. The other is a consequence of the events that happened these past few days, plus something else that's been in the pipeline for a while. Stay tuned 😉

"I live near Nasser Hospital in the west of #KhanYounis city. Almost every day, I hear desperate calls for blood donations made on loudspeakers out of the hospital.

Most of the people who visited the hospital to donate blood suffer from anaemia and malnutrition... two-thirds of the blood units donated at the hospital have extremely low haemoglobin and iron levels, which makes them unusable for blood transfusions."

Gaza is running out of blood

We are no longer able to save our wounded through blood donations. Starvation has made our blood unusable.

I am so fucking sick and tired of people claiming that Cory Doctorow invented the term "enshittification". Sure, he popularized it because he's famous and shit, but my colleagues and I had been using "enshittification" since 2010 starting with Oracle buying Sun Microsystems. LONG before Cory Doctorow even knew what that word meant.

And you know what? I'm not claiming that we invented the word either!

Because we heard it from a vendor.

Who probably heard it from one of their customers.

So stop claiming that Cory Doctorow invented the word.
HE DIDN'T.

Anyway, so far I have successfully gotten this binary classifier to say that one random image I have is -1.438 of whatever it is the classifier is evaluating. Which is nothing, because I had to replace the neural net's classifier head and so while most of the network has some pre-training, the final output layer is "take all the knowledge distilled from the image, and return a random guess".

Next step, let's see if I can figure out how to implement a training loop...

These focking city deer. Can't have any nice flowers out. We moved our coleus back to the front steps LAST NIGHT, after they had recovered sufficiently. Already chewed on. I can't believe we are the only ones pissed about these rats with hooves. Somebody needs to cull this population. They do periodically in Ann Arbor.
