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 😉

FT: The West believes that Trump sees Zelenskyy as an obstacle to peace en.news-front.su/2025/07/12/ft…

"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."

LOL, I actually managed to do this with a broken spacebar. Half the bar was missing, so I took a completely different model scrap keyboard that was water damaged, carefully cut it in half, secured that with the original half with a couple paper clips and epoxy, and somehow even managed to make the stabilizer bar underneath line up and work.

Hey, if it looks stupid but works, it's not stupid. 👍

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.

He will do anything criminal to distract from it.

NES mapper programming sounds like shitposts or elaborate pranks.
For example, MMC1. Super common chip, used on Metroid, Legend of Zelda, Bionic Commando.

To program it, you simply write five bytes to the upper half of the memory space. The LSB of each byte is added to a shift register and then for the 5th byte the 13th and 14th bit of the address are used to determine which register to program.

You're right in general, but there are so many cases where the safest advice is "seek a qualified professional", and I generally assume that if someone is asking online then this is already not a realistic option for them.

So yeah, if he took your advice to heart and hired a professional, that would be better. But if he said "damn internet people are so unhelpful, I think I'll just wire it up and see what happens", then my advice is better than that.

A friend of mine does flowers for weddings and he was going to pick up flowers but couldn’t get through because a massive assault on people working in the flower growers in #Carpenteria. This is a video he took from there. They rolled up in unmarked vehicles as well as military assault vehicles armed with assault rifles and just grab anyone and everyone who looks like a Mexican, US citizen or not. They cuff them and haul them away. They never show identification or arrest warrants, they just swarm someone, throw them down, hogtie them and haul em off
