FUCK HOWARD STERN
REMEMBERING DANA PLATO AND HOW HOWARD STERN HELPED DRIVE HER TO HER GRAVE

In May 1999, Diff’rent Strokes star Dana Plato appeared on The Howard Stern Show. She was raw, emotional, and clearly struggling, trying to claw her way back from years of addiction, poverty, and tabloid ridicule. She told Stern she was sober and doing her best. She even brought her fiancé on the air for support.

What did Stern do?

He mocked her.

He let callers humiliate her live on the air. He said he didn’t believe she was sober. He pushed her to take a drug test during the show. She played along at first — maybe trying to show she could take a joke. Maybe trying to save face. But after the segment, she quietly asked for the hair sample back. Stern’s team refused.

The very next day, Dana Plato was dead.
Overdose. Ruled a suicide.

And it doesn’t end there. Eleven years later, her son Tyler Lambert, just 25 years old, took his own life too. Same week as the anniversary of his mother’s death.

This is what happens when you treat real pain as entertainment.

Stern didn’t kill Dana Plato. But he kicked her while she was down, on one of the most humiliating public stages imaginable. He took a vulnerable, broken woman and made her pain into a performance. Because it got laughs. Because it got ratings.

That’s the real Howard Stern. Not the “brave” liberal voice of reason he pretends to be today.

He built his empire mocking the disabled, shaming addicts, degrading women, and gleefully punching down.

He wasn’t edgy. He was cruel.

He wasn’t honest. He was exploitative.

And now, when it’s convenient, he wraps himself in the language of tolerance and justice — while attacking the very Americans who once made him rich.

He used to buddy up with Trump, appearing together on air over 30 times. Now he calls Trump supporters “morons” and “idiots,” from the safety of his multimillion-dollar Hamptons compound — the same place he locked himself inside for over a year, lecturing the country about COVID while mocking anyone who dared step outside.

Howard Stern didn’t go woke. He got soft. He got rich. He got scared.

And worst of all, he got boring.

Now SiriusXM has canceled him. Not because he was controversial — but because no one’s listening anymore. The outrage dried up. The audience moved on. And when your whole act is built on cruelty and self-importance, that’s a one-way ticket to irrelevance.

Dana Plato deserved better. So did her son.

They were real people. With real pain.

Good riddance Howard.

My low latency troonix system really is the /comfy/est thing in the world. It's such a shame that the arcade games are not even half as responsive because they fell for the windows meme. In fact even consoles have windows‐tier latency these days. (Not that they could beat my system, but it would be a start if they didn't have over 40ms, let alone 80ms, of latency. (Really I'd rather it be no more than 20ms but most developers do retarded things like coupling the logic with the graphics:mito_tired:. ))
The point is that I wish that more games could be made to have such low latency as project heartbeat on my system:mito_sad:.
Thank you for reading my blog post.

BLAIR CONSIDERED A ‘SPECIAL PARTNERSHIP’ BETWEEN ISRAEL AND NATO declassifieduk.org/blair-consi…

I think I have a design for a fine particle grinder.

Small particles can't be ground effectively in a blade mill (coffee grinder) or a ball mill (rock tumbler), they reach a size that there are so many of them that the balls are cushioned by the sheer number of them, and blades can't strike them hard enough to split them any further.

So what do you do if you want them smaller?

In industry, they use a jet mill which is basically a sand blaster, except the media is meant to be ground down rather than the thing you're blasting against. The problem with a jet mill is the particles you're grinding are smoke particle size and smaller, so you need really effective cyclone separation to avoid just losing the particles out the exhaust air! And that makes these machines quite expensive.

For small batch very fine particle grinding, I think it can be done as follows:
Epoxy an ultrasonic transducer to a steel plate with some bolt holes, bolt this to a lexan spacer 3mm thick. This spacer has a center area milled out which is where the grinding will happen.
bolt a 10mm thick lexan cover over the spacer, in the middle of this cover you heat-press a concave sapphire watch glass into the lexan. Particles from the steel plate are thrown up against the sapphire and because the sapphire is concave, they are bounced back toward the middle of the work area. The spacer has input and output holes that can be used to feed and remove dust from grinding.

The apparatus is run with vacuum inside, so that the particles can get up to high speed. Sapphire is one of the hardest materials in existence so (unless you're trying to grind diamond) it will break up almost any particle.

The whole design is relatively cheap and DIY friendly, and if it works well, I think it should be possible to make nano scale particles with enough time grinding.

The article's discussion of forgotten (or suppressed) aspects of pre-"civil rights" era black culture reminded me of something that I recently read regarding how President Obama arranged for Justice Clarence Thomas not to be included in the Smithsonian's African American history museum. Can't have role models of the "wrong kind."

Virginia’s Democratic gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger raked in $50,000 in campaign donations from an electric vehicle tycoon who is a member of the Chinese Communist Party, according to campaign finance records. The funding is perplexing given that Virginia law forbids foreign nationals from making political contributions, and Chinese law typically bans CCP members from holding foreign citizenship or permanent residency.

I got on LinkedIn because someone told me it was the “professional thing to do” after retirement.

Big mistake.

This place is a digital motor pool full of self-appointed visionaries doing donuts in the mud, yelling about scaling, optimizing, and disrupting, while actively failing to comprehend anything larger than their own reflection in a ring light.

Every day I open this app and it’s someone bragging about how they “fired their entire team at 6:45 a.m. to protect the culture” and then went on a ten-mile gratitude walk before raising $4 million from investors who apparently also hate due diligence.

You people are feral.

You’re not leading a company. You’re cosplaying a personality disorder and calling it leadership.

Every post reads like a man with a Bluetooth headset screamed into a word cloud and hit “publish.”

LinkedIn reminds me of early days on Hacker News and here on Reddit. Social media doesn't reflect the world of tech, or even startup tech.

Social media gives outsized attention to certain types of extroverted people, and it gives outsized attention to controversy and confirmation of bias relative to correctness or depth of experience.

 — (Shoreline, WA, USA)
@Donald J. Trump My take, public money shouldn't go into unreliable infrastructure, but if private money wants to go there fine. I've generally been opposed to win/solar except in cases where it reliably corresponds with peak loads, A/C loads in California/Texas/Florida and Solar would be a case in point, otherwise it is mostly a waste. At some point perhaps we'll have a practical, economic, and sufficient storage capacity but right now isn't that time.

Today I was hoping that I could have put the whole episode of the outlandish accusations made against me by @8124 behind, and use again my profile to talk of the things I enjoy the most (AI ethics, automation, digital regulation, Big Tech alternatives, new geek projects etc.).

But it looks like the levels of harassment against me are only escalating, not winding down.

Report 1

That account and its network also reported me for antisemitism for this post, which:

  • Includes a shameful video of people cheering at the bombs being dropped in Gaza and waiting for everybody to be dead so they can occupy that territory again
  • Outlines the connections between those sitting in the current Israeli cabinet and publicly acknowledged terrorists like Kahane that argued the same exact things that Israel is doing right now decades ago in books such as “They must go
  • Outlines some of the most controversial quotes from their scriptures, often cited by the most orthodox Rabbis as a justification for their current actions.

To put things in context: if a random person wrote something like this:

When they have been delivered over to you and you have defeated them, then you must destroy them totally. Make no treaty with them, and show them no mercy


How would you react?

Would you be outraged and call it an explicit apology of genocide?

Now, if I were to add “this is actually Deuteronomy 7:2“, would your previous reaction make you automatically an antisemite?

Do these fundamentalist accounts apply the same level of “religious respect” to similar quotes from the Quran that argue for exterminating the non-believers?

Are we supposed to openly scrutinize the roots of religious violence without dogmas and ostracism only when it doesn’t apply to Jews, because as soon as we criticize Deuteronomy we get a #Fediblock Nazi flying around?

Report 2

I have also been reported for this post.

This is the most shameful of all the reports.

It’s a video showing the devastation of Gaza that Netanyahu didn’t want the world to see. It’s calling for accountability of the actions of his government. I even wrote:

Just like no god would have allowed Auschwitz, no god would have allowed a whole territory to be turned into this.


And still got reported for antisemitism.

Report 3

I have also been reported for this old post.

They have literally dug up my all profile to find a post from last year where I discussed Israel’s ethno-religious claims because they couldn’t find anything else to frame me. These levels of harassment, doxxing and tenacity honestly make me feel unsafe.

For context, my criticism of Israel as a homogenous ethno-religious State comes from a very well-documented academic discussion known as Israel’s trilemma.

It’s also been mentioned several times on The Economist (source 1, source 2).

It boils down to a simple observation: Israel must decide whether it wants to be an ethnically heterogeneous democratic State, a homogeneous ethno-religious democratic State achieved through a two-State solution, or a homogeneous ethno-religious single State achieved through the means of Apartheid, genocide and forced displacement.

Being a democratic country means either acknowledging the two-State solution, or a Jewish-Arab “binational” State, where Arabs also get their fair representation in the Knesset and non-Jews minorities aren’t subject to prejudice. Which sits completely at odds with folks in the current cabinet like Ben-Gvir who proudly defended the “ancient tradition” of spitting on Christians, who harass Muslims praying in mosques, and who caused the previous cabinet to collapse as soon as a ceasefire was discussed because “Gaza hasn’t been punished enough yet”.

Forcing a Jewish electoral majority can be possible only by either acknowledging a two-State solution (see previous point), or an Apartheid State.

Controlling all the occupied lands means either accepting a Jewish-Arab binational State, or an Apartheid State.

Israel must choose a side on this triangle.

My rejection of Israel as a homogenous ethno-religious State that doesn’t acknowledge the rights of its ethno-religious minorities and neighbours comes from the fact that I would refuse to consider such a State a democracy, and I would have all the right of treating it as a pariah and a rogue country like North Korea or South Africa during the times of its Apartheid.

Of course, all these nuances get lost, all the academic sources are often accused of being antisemitic too (including the NYT and The Economist I guess at this point), and every criticism of their crimes and contradictions gets the same levels of ostracism that I have seen in cults.

I made similar observations to those that scholars made when analyzing the South African Apartheid. I demand the freedom to talk about these topics using the same academic framework without being harassed.

Conclusion

I want those accounts GONE.

@Gargron @staff you have a moral duty in front of history to ban them. Every single additional day where they are active on your platform without facing consequence is an additional day that you spend sheltering terrorists.

Had these been State-sponsored actors spreading pro-KKK or pro-Hamas propaganda, you would have probably (rightfully) banned them without blinking an eye.

It shouldn’t be always me defending myself while they do apology of genocide and terrorism behind anonymous accounts with full impunity. I want the spotlights to be on those motherfuckers, not on me. I won’t stop putting pressure on you until you start putting pressure on them.

The activities of some of these accounts (including 8124) were already observed by the kolektiva.social staff years ago, and the investigation concluded that most likely they are just an emanation of Hasbara on the Fediverse.

You have foreign propaganda and terrorist thugs harassing, doxxing and threatening people on your platform with full impunity, and yet I’m the one being threatened with defederation. Instead, they can just throw a #Fediblock request in the wild behind anonymous accounts, create a new anonymous account if required, always refuse any civilized debate, and get away with unaccountability.

And I strongly demand the right of getting their personal details. Now it’s time for my lawyers to send letters to these anonymous cowards who use Hasbara staff IDs to log in. I am NOT afraid of these thugs, I am NOT afraid of rallying support for a legal case against Hasbara and its systematic intimidation techniques and interference in foreign politics, and I want to see their faces in a court and repeat these accusations to them while staring them in the eye.

You have failed to properly stand up against unprecedented levels of harassment perpetrated against users on your network by anonymous propaganda accounts sponsored by a hostile power, condemned by the UN, with terrorists sitting in their cabinet, and considered a threat to the national security of the country where I live.

You have humiliated yourself, twice, by trying to frame me like a poa.st Nazi troll and falling into all the fallacies that a random troll on the Internet laid in front of you.

You have failed to provide clear motivations behind this outrageous level of inaction, despite I’m the one who received threats to get fired on YOUR platform, and I’m the one who is now receiving, on a daily basis, levels of harassment of doxxing comparable to those of a cult.

You owe us an explanation now. You owe it to history and you owe it to everyone who is watching.

And, if you still want to stay silent on these issues, I expect at least to receive the right support to get the details of these accounts, so I can take matters into my own hands through legal ways. They know who I work for and they can send an email to my HR. Right now I can’t send emails to their employer to ask for their accountability.
