As someone who has long toiled in the harsh fields of OSS user support mailing lists…
Do not try to be “helpful” to people seeking advice in an expert forum of any sort by feeding their plea into a digester & providing an answer from its excrement.
It insults the seeker, implying that they don’t know how to type their question into a LLM-infested search engine.
It insults the actual experts who put their time & thought into such fora as a way to give back value …

Daily Mail are apparently using "named in the Epstein files" as a way of implying scandal - even when it's just that they're mentioned in an email somewhere the huge archive released by the FBI.

There is no reason to think that Markwayne Mullin will change course in any significant way at DHS.
Like Kristy Noem, he will be answering primarily to White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, a man who spends all day on X implying that non-white immigrants are the primary source of crime and economic deprivation.
Miller’s demand that Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which is overseen by DHS,
arrest 3,000 people a day is the force behind Noem’s worst choices a…

Beautiful weather. Great day to take down the Christmas lights before winter returns in full force.

Selfie of me, a white male with a light colored moustache. I'm standing in front of tall pine trees silhouetted against a blue sky, implying I'm standing on a roof or somewhere high up. I'm wearing sunglasses, an orange hi-vis sweater, a blue MSA helmet, and a yellow fall protection harness

This was the worst Bulgarian president since 1989. He actively tried to divide the people by talking utter bullsh!t and implying we would be better off with Mother Russia. And now, he's seeking real power by getting ready to participate as a leader of his "new political party" in the upcoming Parliament elections. None of our other presidents has been so blatantly basic in their undermining words.

@… I’m not implying it’s the “right” move nor that anyone should copy it, but at this point we’re effectively not buying anything Costco doesn’t carry.

‘Only Embrace’ was actually called ‘Only Envelope’ for the longest time, partly because along with the emotional layer I was interested in breaking free of any use of percussion - rather implying rhythm through envelopes programmed into the patches (along with musical use of shifting compression flaring in response to these, and then saturation that would “bloom” out in various M/S configurations.)

When you cite a thinker to legitimize fascism and then discover his intellectual crush ended up being Lenin instead.
#Fascism #Syndicalism #Meme

Four-panel political meme contrasting ideologies: in the top row, a cartoon fascist soldier enthusiastically praises an elderly bearded political theorist for inspiring national syndicalism and fascism while the theorist responds skeptically; a cropped book excerpt notes his later admiration for revolutionary figures; in the bottom row, the same soldier is shown crying as the theorist appears alongside a revolutionary leader, with captions implying the theorist ultimately preferred revolutionar…

Trump is now implying that Canada is dependent on the USA acquiring Greenland in order for it to gain “protection” under the “golden dome”.
It is time for Canada to end its participation in the Golden Dome and NORAD until the USA once again becomes a trustworthy global nation.
We cannot be dragged into complicity with international crimes.
It is time for Canadians to have a very very deep discussion about our military, our own expectations, and our neighbour. The days of “the longest unguarded border” are gone.
We need to consider a much more European stance. A much more Ukrainian stance.
