that would grant the BBC access to the president’s financial records,
as part of his multibillion-dollar lawsuit against the British broadcaster.
Trump claims that the BBC’s 2024 documentary on the January 6 attacks have damaged the president’s business interests.

Bill McKibben - at length
"This newsletter turns five years old this month, which means that more than 300 times I’ve tried to assemble the latest news from the world of climate and energy and figure out what it means. I started it in 2021, intending to run through the decade, because I thought then, and think still, that this is the crucial stretch in humanity’s attempt to navigate the climate crisis."

New Ansible Data Validation Module(s) « ipSpace.net blog
A few months ago I described how you could use JSON Schema to validate your automation data models, host/group variable files, or even Ansible inventory file. I had to use a weird toolchain to get it done – either ansible-inventory to build a complete data model from various inventory sources, or yq to convert YAML to JSON… and just for the giggles jsonschema CLI command requires the JSON input to reside in a file, so you have to use a temporary file to get the job done.

On Critical Race Theory
A guest post by The Negro Subversive.

My god, we knew it all along. The migration crisis of the last 15 years was engineered by Russia but nobody wanted to say anything. Not Merkel, Obama, Trump, or Rubio. It was until the Lithuanians started pushing back the weaponized migration of Iraqs from Belarus in 2021 that I heard anything. See…

in all the #pandemicpond and #poolproject shenanigans since 2021, there has been one tool that has played a massive role in making it both possible, and fun.
This utility trailer is the best car-thing I have ever bought!
Is the Kona EV rated for towing. No.
Did putting a trailer hitch on void the warranty? Not officially 😝 and its well past now.
This thing has been so damn handy! From cross country camping trips to hauling 400kg of rocks, it's done it all!
New toy rented today! Welcome Tony the Trencher Machine to the party!
(I rented the metal ramps too.
theyre not cheap to buy)
