Trump’s firing of the head of the Library of Congress comes as White House officials can’t say what agency doesJohn Bowden (The Independent)
Incredible: if you voice-dictate a message about adult chuck-e-cheese alternative Dave & Busters into iMessage, it gets flagged as a potential hacking attempt by the other iMessage client and never arrives. Because the voice-to-text detects it as a known phrase with a special typography (with the "&", not "and"), but the substitution is happening at the wrong layer and so it gets encoded as a raw '&' in the message HTML rather than an '&'. The other end correctly detects malformed HTML and panics.
Presumably, you could also run into this problem with other brands such as Simon & Schuster.

Exclusive: Claims policy change is really just a way to squeeze out competitionRichard Speed (The Register)
Karl Marx: Someday the worker must seize political power in order to build up the new organization of labor; he must overthrow the old politics which sustain the old institutions, if he is not to lose Heaven on Earth, like the old Christians who neglected and despised politics. But we have not asserted that the ways to achieve that goal are everywhere the same. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Quotes
- Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.
- Democritus: Not from fear but from a sense of duty refrain from your sins.
- Democritus: Many who have not learned wisdom live wisely, and many who do the basest deeds can make most learned speeches.
- Democritus: Fools learn wisdom through misfortune.
- Democritus: Strength of body is nobility in beasts of burden, strength of character is nobility in men.
- Democritus: Neither art nor wisdom may be attained without learning.
- Democritus: It is better to correct your own faults than those of another.
- Democritus: Good means not (merely) not to do wrong, but rather not to desire to do wrong.
- Democritus: Fame and wealth without wisdom are unsafe possessions.
- Muammar Gaddafi: We will not surrender. We will defeat them by any means. We are ready for the fight, whether it will be a short or a long one. We will be victorious in the end. This assault is by a bunch of fascists who will end up in the dustbin of history.
- Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.
- Democritus: We know nothing accurately in reality, but (only) as it changes according to the bodily condition, and the constitution of those things that flow upon (the body) and impinge upon it.
- Democritus: Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.
- Democritus: Immoderate desire is the mark of a child, not a man.
- Democritus: Men have fashioned an image of Chance as an excuse for their own stupidity.
- Democritus: In a shared fish, there are no bones.
- Democritus: Education is an ornament for the prosperous, a refuge for the unfortunate.
- Democritus: The animal needing something knows how much it needs, the man does not.
- Democritus: Moderation multiplies pleasures, and increases pleasure.
- Democritus: If your desires are not great, a little will seem much to you; for small appetite makes poverty equivalent to wealth.
- Democritus: No power and no treasure can outweigh the extension of our knowledge.
- Democritus: In fact we do not know anything infallibly, but only that which changes according to the condition of our body and of the (influences) that reach and impinge upon it.
- Democritus: Of practical wisdom these are the three fruits: to deliberate well, to speak to the point, to do what is right.
- Democritus: 'Tis not in strength of body nor in gold that men find happiness, but in uprightness and in fulness of understanding.
- Democritus: He who does wrong is more unhappy than he who suffers wrong.
- Samuel P. Huntington: The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
- Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
- Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
- Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.
- Che Guevara: Many will call me an adventurer - and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.
- Democritus: The first principles of the universe are atoms and empty space; everything else is merely thought to exist.
- Bertolt Brecht: Lenin is enshrined In the large heart of the working class.

ANC takes over the largest citrus farm in the southern hemisphere... then gave it, and $30 million to a group of blacks - who then proceeded to cut down the citrus trees to use as firewood.
for some reason the farm went bankrupt...
People of European descent used to be raised on stories like "The Goose that Laid the Golden Egg" which would have been instructive in this case. We are taught to think long term growing up - but even that has mostly ceased in our browning society.

Hamas says to release Israeli-U.S. hostage on Monday-english.news.cn
Enver Hoxha: Lenin pointed out the classical characteristics of bureaucracy: lack of ability, lack of responsibility, administrative procrastination, etc. He showed how these phenomena, arisen on the basis of a backward peasantry, of an undeveloped capitalism, the feudal traditions and police despotism of the past, remained under the new conditions, too, and can develop and reproduce themselves. Aware of the danger of the development of bureaucracy, Lenin pointed out that the Soviet apparatus was still “true to the type of our old state apparatus", therefore he demanded a rapid change in it, seeking new forces in the deepest roots of our dictatorship”, that is in the development of institutions based on the broadest possible participation of the workers and peasants. Despite Lenin's warnings and despite the struggle carried out by Stalin, who continued his work, against bureaucracy, this did not disappear in the Soviet Union, but under given conditions it became further developed and this, in turn, led to the creation of a parasitic stratum detached from the people, a stratum that became the social basis of the birth of Khrushchevite revisionism. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, vows accountability for the criminals who perpetrated the attempted overthrow of the United States government through the Russian collusion hoax in 2016.
“The more we dig, the more we find the extent of the seriousness and the intent of that whole operation was very consistent with what we found with Stalin’s operation “show me the man, and I will show you the crime”
“We are digging deep to find everything that has been related to this, and I guarantee you there are some U.S. Attorneys who are eager to see what we are finding. In some cases are already working their own cases to bring about that necessary accountability.”
In other words, the outgoing Administration under Barack H. Obama committed treason. They committed a conspiracy to overthrow the United States government.

Every day, 1 to 2 white victims are murdered by black racists
The total is about 520 to 540 black-on-white homicides every year.
I should not read these lists, they just get me really angry about how unbelievably evil, stupid and racist people can be, as all these crimes are committed intentionally to cause pain and suffering, as they murder little children, young girls, women, elderly people, any easy target.
Take the case of that grandmother who was dragged behind her own car after a bunch of black teens stole it. The teens were dancing and laughing in court during their trial. That black woman who murdered a 3 year old boy for no reason? Laughing and smirking in court like it had been a fabulous joke!
