And the Senate refusing to convict Bill Clinton was the final nail in the coffin of an independent Congress. Mass media culture pushed toward a charismatic President dominating the system anyway, but that shut the door for good.
imagine US political culture if Ford hadn't pardoned Nixon, and instead he went to jail

Considering their IT security habits, six of that, half a dozen of their computers being infected with every brand of spyware on earth and non-DOGE bad actors exfiltrating data that way.
Just a reminder DOGE stole just about every government database. Perhaps we’re starting to see the fruits of their theft
I wrote this for the @nytimes.com: Scammers are calling seniors more than 50 times a day. Some who get scammed wind up with weird charges on their Medicare and mysterious packages on their porches

This is what government censorship actually looks like: defunding entire fields, deporting researchers, and quite effectively chilling speech that helps people understand how our information systems are being exploited and calls out powerful people and platforms for their bullshit.
For the last decade, the pervasive spread of bullshit & manipulation of online platforms have been widely recognized societal concerns. Now non US citizens studying those subjects can be labeled “censors” & denied visas or deported from the US. Censorship, indeed. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...
Exclusive: Trump administration orders enhanced vetting for applicants of H-1B visa
An internal State Department memo said that anyone involved in "censorship" of free speech should be considered for rejection.

Most of us learn by age 13 or so not to be "wanna bet" guy. This individual clearly didn't have enough friends telling him to shut up at that critical stage of life.

So much of this shit is gambling! Robinhood is fucking gambling! Crypto is gambling! Videogame business models are gambling! It's all fucking gambling! Laws need to really catch up to the fact that the brain can be hacked by this shit.
This is gambling, and we've essentially decided that it's okay to let it go on entirely unregulated for ??? Reasons.

Buies Creek Astros cap, from their brief stay at Campbell during the transition from Bakersfield to the Carolina League and eventually Fayetteville. Because MiLB trivia.
During a move I lost the Tennessee Oilers stadium mug I got at VT's 1998 Music City Bowl at Vandy Stadium. Still mad about that.
