A republican fundraising consultant alerted her colleagues this month in a private message about a hot new business opportunity from an unlikely source:
Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, a Democrat.
“I thought you would be interested in this high performing Fetterman copy,”
wrote Leah Mergener, an account associate at the GOP-aligned firm Blitz Digital Group.
“It has been doing crazy numbers for us.”
The fundraising appeal was signed by Fetterman and inclu…
It looks like I'm going to have some downtime in The Netherlands in late September / early October due to airline pricing (staying an extra two days after the event I'm attending saves $1200 on airfare, cutting the ticket price by >50% and more than justifying the extra meal/hotel cost)
Anyone interested in a get-together Monday Sep 28th, Friday Oct 2, or Saturday Oct 3? Or have suggestions on things to do in the greater Gouda / Den Haag / Rotterdam area?

Hey, That's Neat
I'll have someone on to tell me about something they're knowledgeable about, interested in or hyper-fixating on. Maybe we learn something interesting; maybe we just get a good laugh- either way...

"the only jobs that are intrinsically safe are those where the relationship between the people involved is the most valuable aspect. Nurture your tribe. You and me. Here. We are irreplaceable, my friend. People ask me all the time why I’m not scared of AI and the reason is that there is nothing AI can do to replace our memories together."
John Iliffe has passed away. One of the best and most influential historians of Africa, member of the Dar es Salaam school and someone who did not go to conferences or use emails.
I read his Africans History of a Continent in my first lecture in African studies and it deeply influenced me. His Modern History of Tanganyika is the go to book for any topic in Tanzanian history.

https://philevents.org/event/show/152953
I will be speaking there, and in very good company. Maybe you know someone who might be interested in joining too!
Recipe for those interested:
Mix 20ml simple syrup (mix one cup sugar with one cup water in a saucepan and heat until dissolved, this makes enough for a lot of cocktails and keeps well in the fridge) with juice of half a lemon and about 15ml of aqua faba (water from can of chickpeas, red kidney beans also works well). Shake with lots of ice in cocktail shaker and strain into glass. If you're not strictly no-alcohol, add a dash of angostura bitters before shaking.
Enjoy in cool, twilit garden, ideally in a hammock while listening to the swifts screaming overhead...

"It was probably an accident the first time that humans went extinct. That's what multiple corporate databases had recorded, but of course those things are so distorted there's no guarantee that corroboration correlates with truth, especially across such a vast gulf of time. Then, probably because of some distorted echo of a science fiction genre filled with bullshit about human 'ingenuity' or other such crap, the corporations brought them back, at incredible technical expense. It wasn't an accident the second time the humans went extinct."

Would any of y'all be interested in an archival curation tool that can handle merging large collections of files?
I'm in the middle of designing something — git is inspiration but the wrong tool for this job — but that allows reintegrating diverged collections of materials, and propagating enough information that if you were to merge two folders, you'd get a relevant set of questions about the contents to successfully and meaningfully merge them.
