The problem with Las Vegas is that visitors are now treated like marks rather than guests.
The $50 gotcha charge at Paris Las Vegas for unplugging a cord in the room to charge a laptop is a perfect example:

“$50 Charge Because I Unplugged A Cord”: Paris Las Vegas Hotel’s Tiny Print Fee Sums Up Why Visitors Are Fleeing The City
A reader shares that the were billed "$50 to charge a laptop" at Paris Las Vegas, and they thought this was "an even more outrageous fee" than $26 for a bottle of water at Aria. Las Vegas executives can't seem to figure out why tourist visits are declining in the city.

the "woke games detector"'s ULTRAKILL problem: there are some games they don't like just because the developer is vaguely progressive and the fandom is largely queer and makes a lot gay fanart of the characters but they have to come up with some 4d chess problem with the game itself
like ah yes the game about robot killing demons in hell and extracting their blood is woke because there's a blahaj easter egg and not because there's shitload of V1 x Gabriel yao…

screenshot of the woke games detector, ULTRAKILL is listed as woke for the following reasons: Contains overtly pro-LGBTQ+ messaging. The word 'gay' is spelled out by three mannequins posing in flag symbols. Level 5-S contains a reference to the Blåhaj plushie, a pro-trans symbol.

Suing a guy who called me a litigious asshole. As I claim in the filing, this is libelous because I'm only a regular asshole.

Norms of partial sums operators for a basis with respect to a filter
Basis of a Banach space with respect to a filter F on N (F-basis for short) is a generalization of basis, where the ordinary convergence of series is substituted by convergence of partial sums with respect to the filter F. We study the behavior of the norms of partial sums operators for an F-basis, depending on the filter and on the space. One of the central results is: The following properties of a sequence $(a_n)_{n \in N} \subset (1, \infty)$ are equivalent: (i) $\sum_{n \in N} a_n^{-1} …

Thank you for following me. I'm sorry to say but I am considering quitting politics entirely because I cannot sustain myself. Because I say things that the Democratic consultant class fears, I do not have access to the biggest center-to-left media outlets and as a result, my audience is too small to be sustainable. I could really use your help if you are able. Thank you very much! Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/discoverflux Substack: https://plus.flux.community/subscribe

Thinking about giving to folk in #Gaza; quite complicated feelings. Firstly, we do *have* to give, and give personally, because conventional charities are not effectively getting relief to Gaza -- presumably because they are being blocked by #Israel -- and because our governments are doing nothing.
