Oh hey, good things do happen even in the darkest times. Yarvin is taking about fleeing the country.
The thinks that Trump's fascism is failing (which it is) and tha Trump is incapable of doing what it takes to actually hold power. He's afraid of vengeance, which is honestly unlikely given how completely useless the democrats actually are. But I'm glad he's afraid. I hope he runs away to Russia, gets drafted and deployed to Ukraine, and eats a drone.
I also hope he can somehow convince Thiel to be afraid, but I think that's unlikely.
The fact is that if Trump fails, which I think he will (and Yarvin thinks it could be soon), it won't be because of Democratic leadership. It will be because of antifascist organizing and community resistence. We will have, once again, kept ourselves safe while the DNC argued over how much of their values they should abandon and how much of the left to sacrifice to "get votes."

Little update: the meds they gave him made him feel _much_ better and he started to eat well again so we should be able to get his weight up (he got really skinny).
We won't know if it's cancer or not for a while, but if it is we will definitely not try to draw it out with any painful and unlikely to work therapy for it and instead make sure he feels well.

🚨 New preprint out🚨 now, why has Antarctica stopped (net) losing mass?
We explore how declining sea ice but mostly increasingly heavy and frequent atmospheric rivers have actually led to a small increase in the mass of #Antarctica, in spite of increased discharge from outlet glaciers.
The increase is unlikely to be sustained, and a small increase in calving or discharge over the grounding line can easily turn it upside down, but nevertheless another long-term prediction about the Antarctic appears to becoming true.
Lots of important subtleties in this one!
In review at Nature communications but I feel it's too important to wait for the review process.

Rupert Murdoch, the 94-year-old media baron whose fortunes have risen in tandem with Trump’s political ascent,

Trump denied sending the message, calling it a “fake,”
and last month he filed a $10-billion defamation suit against Journal publisher Dow Jones & Co., Murdoch and …

“Many State Offices are concerned that Starlink proposals may be the lowest bid and alternative proposals may not be within the 15% window for consideration. What this analysis presents is that across many geographic areas Starlink may not be a qualified bidder as it may be unable to attain the required 100/20 Mbps service level (and, in deploying Starlink services, may actually degrade pre-existing users’ services to the point that they no longer receive minimal broadband speeds).”

CoChen (#AS49608), recently went offline. Their website suggests they provide circuits to businesses and consumers in select markets in HK, JP, KR and US.
Seems unlikely. They were single homed behind Kaopu Cloud. They were announcing a handful of leased IP4 blocks. Previous BGP upstreams were Latitude.sh (BR hosting provider), Pyschz (US hosting provider), and others.
"A retread of the defeated 2015-19 project is unlikely to be a recipe for future success.
"Even so, this is a very encouraging beginning. The march of authoritarianism and racism across this country, the disgusting consensus behind complicity in Israeli genocide and the attempt to keep public ownership and wealth redistribution off the table can all be challenged by the emergence of a left movement on this scale."

Not necessarily a professional, because unlikely things do happen. They must. You have to suspect that they were a trained shooter to get that lucky at that distance but a LOT of people who are not professional assassins in any sense* have well-practiced shooting skills. In the narrow sense of the phrase, only a tiny fraction of the highly-skilled shooters have ever killed a person for pay in the private sector.
*: i.e. not even military or hunters
Really good clear explanation from @…, laying out various problems and risks with trying to implement "age verification" online.
"Firstly, in order to prove your age you’re being asked to hand over some fairly important personal details. ... Usually the company you’re handing these details to is a third party, often one you will never have heard of before. ...
"The data that is being collected for age verification purposes is extremely tempting to hackers ... and at the moment there is no specific regulation outlining the security standards that these companies should meet ...
"Let’s say all the current age verification providers are incredibly robust, though. ... The question still remains... should you be sharing this information with random websites anyway?
"... once you’ve trained the population of an entire country to routinely hand over their credit card details in order to access content, you have given them an incredibly bad habit that it’s going to be tough to break. ... You don’t just prove your age once, after all, you potentially have to do it dozens of times, to access a bunch of different websites. Everything from BlueSky to PornHub to Spotify and even maybe Wikipedia. It becomes a weekly or perhaps monthly occurrence. Just as individual users don’t tend to read every website’s terms and conditions, it’s unlikely they’re all going to do due diligence checks on every provider who asks for ID, especially once they’ve become used to just handing that data over.
"And although that may not be a problem for _you_, you tech-savvy cleverclogs, if you’ve ever found yourself in the position of unpaid IT support for one of your less knowledgeable friends or relatives, hopefully you can see why it’s a huge problem for the UK population more broadly."
