Sometimes I'm like, "he's 12, he should really be packing his own school lunch now." And then he does shit like this.

Excerpts from Cormac McCarthy’s ‘The Infrastructure’
Should I be scared? the boy asked. To go on the roads? And to go on planes?

Just some planes, the man said. You can still go on planes mostly.

I’m glad, the boy said. Otherwise, how would they feed toddlers.

What, said the man.

The boy flew a piece of food toward his mouth. He made an airplane sound.

Oh, the man said.

It was a joke, the boy said.

Of course, the man said. Jokes. Yes.
As…

Excerpts from Cormac McCarthy’s ‘The Infrastructure’
Roads crumbling into the sea and ash falling from the sky. Lots of ash.

I recognize this tactic — drown the one you are suing in overly-broad discovery requests. It's combination fishing exercise, financial burden, and scare tactic to others. #AudioEye tried the same shit in its SLAPP against me (thankfully NY stays discovery when there is a motion to dismiss, not like AudioEye’s attorneys honored that).

X filing “thermonuclear lawsuit” in Texas should be “fatal,” Media Matters says
Musk’s attempt to venue-shop Media Matters lawsuit is not likely to end well.

Maybe we should stop relying on developers to do the right thing and have the government tackle it directly.

Santa Clara County cities are failing to hit housing goals - San José Spotlight
Nearly all the cities in Santa Clara County — including San Jose — are moving so slow in meeting state housing goals that hitting the numbers looks like a pipe dream, a data analysis by San José Spotlight shows.

“Everyone is walking around with guns there. I consider myself a conservative guy, but if you want to carry a gun you should be licensed.”
Gun death in America is a winning issue for Dems. If we only had the courage to link it to SCOTUS.

They came for Florida's sun and sand. They got soaring costs and a culture war.
Florida has seen a population boom, but many longtime residents and recent transplants say rising costs and divisive politics have them fleeing.

This is Constant’s dream, New Babylon as it should be.

Yorkshire's 'Magical Winterland' closes after less than a day following complaints
Yorkshire's 'Magical Winterland' in Harrogate was forced to close after families complained about rubbish-strewn hallways, creepy-looking mannequins and poorly-constructed exhibitions.

For Security Teams Inside Organizations
Let’s take a deep dive into this piece of consumer messaging —
1958. American Football. A sports reporter bluntly asks coach Vince Lombardi “What are you going to change to turn this team around after a string of failures and losing seasons?”
His reply: “I am not going to change anything. We will use the same players, the same plays and the same training system. But we will concentrate on becoming brilliant at the basics.”
This is an incredibly motivating message. And it paid off!
In the next nine seasons, Coach Lombardi’s team, the Green Bay Packers, went on to win five NFL Championships and two Super Bowls.
The phrase “Brilliant At The Basics” found its way into popular culture, becoming a recurring theme.
And the graphic? For the general public, the lightbulb image = Good Idea.
Consumers are already familiar with these two concepts.
In Your Organization, You Define “The Basics”
Find the sweet spot between everything that’s possible and what your users are willing and able to do.
☑️ Ask yourself "What should our users know? What actions should they take?"
☑️ Define them clearly and give them a simple, catchy name — "The Basics."
☑️ Show your users "This Is How We Do It Here."
☑️ Let them know they can master The Basics.
☑️ Then let your users know there's More Where That Came From, if they're interested, but … The Basics are the focus.
We should deliver cybersecurity advice to non-technical people in bite-size, digestible pieces. Consumers hate feeling like they’re at the pointy end of a firehose. And they don’t like being lectured to. Let’s not overwhelm them. First lay a strong foundation, then line by line, concept by concept — build up from there.
My partner led consumer product development programs that sold $100M and $400M of consumer products every year. Now he develops consumer products for Pokémon. We have hard-won experience when it comes to speaking to and persuading consumers.
We want to share that with you.
Would you like to experiment with this messaging and these laptop stickers in your organization?
Three additional benefits for you:
☑️ Over time, if The Basics in your organization change, the graphics and the laptop stickers stay the same.
☑️ A campaign like this might help identify potential Cyber Champions in your organization.
☑️ The laptop stickers provide persistent visibility for Cybersecurity within your organization.
We’d be happy to send some free samples for you to try out with your users.

Republicans, following Trump's initiative, have deliberately incited anger at national “elites,” heightened fears of foreign immigrant invasions (and “deviant” gender identities), and induced non-urban communities to become obsessed with the odious "swamp" of Washington politics.
What, exactly, is getting overlooked here?
The “rural rage” discourse that’s so often wheeled out but rarely unpacked should not be seen as the simple offshoot of political and economic ch…
