The legal challenges to Donald Trump’s proposed memorial arch are mounting,
with the District of Columbia and Virginia suing in federal court on Saturday
as the administration says construction could begin as early as next week.
There are now three lawsuits calling for a halt to potential work on a monument that would rise 250ft (76 meters)
on a patch of grass off the bridge that spans the Potomac River, connecting the city with the Arlington national cemetery.

40 years. Unbelievable. Any case involving the use of bite-mark "evidence" should be thrown out. It was junk science then, and it's junk science now.

There was a time at TPAC where I could count on the discretion of the person taking minutes to exclude some statements (and honor explicit requests).
Now it seems all the rooms have a hot mic that is constantly recording every casual utterance for someone’s note-taking app.

The modern GOP is a cult of personality with almost no room for dissent
and where the dissent exists, it’s because some people think it’s fucking awesome to put up ads calling child rape victims a liar
and others saying well maybe that’s a half-step too far.
But I actually do think the Republicans’ future is pretty bright
and the reason for that is that there’s no evidence that extremism is going to make one bit of difference in their electoral success over the long …

#PennedPossibilities 1169: Your MC is dead and haunting you. Where and how do they show up?
Awkward, because that's not far off from how I sometimes feel already. Slightly removed from the world, ideas showing up in the most inconvenient places, and nights being excessively active.
All of this should probably be cause for concern, considering the book takes place inside t…

for those interested in such things, Arcaneum now has an install subcommand that will add a watcher to a directory and reindex any changed files once committed.
you can keep a markdown knowledge base up-to-date async behind the scenes
in the repo, but not released

I was really looking forward to trying out binaural Morse Code when OZ1LAV Steffen said he could add it to his M5Stack Tab5 firmware for the QMX. I kept impatiently waiting until he added it, not realizing that there's no monitor audio over USB from the QMX to the Tab5. So you can listen, but you can't use it for an actual QSO, unless you have an audio switch triggered by the PTT on the QMX. One person mentioned having an antenna audio switch device that worked for this, but it's large and n…

As for the Wirtz criticism, I see it, but I remain bullish. He'll misplay a pass, often undercooked, but will also put some on a plate, seeing things that others don't... yet.
Given that injuries to Ekitike and Isak have deprived any semblance of stability in front of him, and playing with a young and promising player like Ngumoha who will be inconsistent, and adding in newness like Barcola & Munoz...what sort of chemistry is to be expected? New manager? Sorry, but will tak…

Brazil: Voters keep authoritarian Bolsonaro clan out, despite interference by Trump and his tech billionaires.
