JavaScript engines zoo
This is probably the reason why certain JavaScripts do not run everywhere, because they are "optimized" on their engine again. In my opinion, this is a tedious tinkering as it was back then.

Return of the Nigerian Prince Redux: Beware Book Club and Book Review Scams - Writer Beware
A few weeks ago, I wrote about a rising and extremely prolific marketing scam that I’ve been able to trace back to operators in Nigeria. Using highly personalized (AI-generated) email solicitations that make it seem the sender (always with a Gmail address, always presenting as a marketing or PR expert) has really read the book,Read More

We don't allow cats on our dinner table, and they full well know that (their punishment when caught is corporal cuddling).
While I was out of the house just now and my wife asleep, the 13yo took this picture.
Oh yeah, my wife's laptop often seems to mysterious crash overnight..
#CatsOfMastodon

A dining room table with a bunch of random stuff on it; laptop, water bottles, a box of markers/art stuff, a kid's backpack, some plastic bags, etc. There are also 3 cats on there. Erie, a mostly black tuxedo cat sits comfortably on the keyboard of the laptop (which has its screen on and is unlocked, because she's obviously hard at work). Clove, a much whiter tuxedo cat (and Erie's mom) sits next to the backpack. Twig, a tabby, loafs on top of some plastic bags. All 3 cats are looking at the ca…

New Gist: No Contest
"There are, perhaps, alternative worlds where lots of things are different. Fianna Fšil maybe decide to run an MEP instead of a MIA. Or one where a fleet of no-hopers got nominated and we spent the whole campaign having to listen to the media asking candidates their opinions on the Latin mass and if cocaine bloat is a positive feature in a President. "
Also, I explain exactly what kind of idiot I have recently been.

Catherine Connolly: What do I know? Back at the start of these Gists I said that Catherine Connolly was having a mare of a campaign. This, of course, was because I am an idiot. And, in this case, I was a particularly shameful kind of idiot. Like the most flabby-minded middle aged golf bore at the end of the club bar, I mistook my media diet for reality. Shame on me.

Content warning: Politics, Rome and bycicles

So, the ruling neo-fascit party organized a protest in Rome against bycicle lanes, because of course they did; they though that a protest made of cars could do the trick. They planned for 100 cars (100 people) but 300 people (300 cars) showed up blocking the city completely. 300 people could fit in a single bus. Rome has metro, 300 people in a metro train probably feels empty. 300 cars paralized a city of more than 4 million people.
What a self own, such clowns.

For me, it was mostly just being the only non-religious extremist in the room, but I'm glad somebody found the cool people

Gretchen Felker-Martin @scumbelievable The experience of being homeschooled is completely encapsulated by the time I went to a book club for homeschooled teens and there was a girl there dressed in a crushed velvet revolutionary war uniform who introduced herself by saying "I fancy myself a bit of a libertine"

The Freed--Quinn line bundle from higher geometry

The Freed--Quinn line bundle from higher geometry
For a finite group $G$, and level $α\in Z^3(BG;{\rm U}(1))$, Freed and Quinn construct a line bundle over the moduli space of $G$-bundles on surfaces. Global sections determine the values of Chern--Simons theory at level $α$ on surfaces. In this paper, we provide an alternate construction using tools from higher geometry: the pair $(G,α)$ determines a 2-group group, and the Freed--Quinn line arises as a categorical truncation of the bicategory of 2-group bundles.
