I interviewed her several times for the story, but after she learned that I’d called some of her colleagues in Congress without asking her permission, she told me that she was “shutting down the profile and revoking all permissions.”" #talarico #Texas #jasminecrockett #trumpism #lies #controlfreak
Why I Got Thrown Out of a Jasmine Crockett Rally

The crowd was fired up. The candidate was on her game. And I was escorted out by armed guards.

J'ai l'habitude de poster des liens vers des sites de news et si les aperçus (preview cards) comportaient le titre de l'article et une phrase d'intro sans illustration – ou alors un petit favicon dans un angle –, ça ne me poserait pas de problème.

Le format traditionnel impose une image par article et nous sommes noyés sous les photos des usual suspects, que je n'ai pas envie de voir 30 fois par jour, surtout sur ma timeline. L'IA générative étant à la mode, voilà une raison supplémentaire pour ne pas laisser quelqu'un d'autre choisir une illustration.

On peut y remédier en postant un court extrait du texte sous forme d'image, ce qui empêche l'affichage de la preview card. Mais il s'agit d'un hack et il faudrait le faire à chaque fois. Je pourrais ajouter un pixel transparent, mais j'y renonce à l'avance, pour les mêmes raisons. Et puis à force ils monopoliseraient l'onglet Média de mon profil.

Ou bien il faudrait se restreindre à mettre des liens vers le site npr.org, qui n'affiche jamais d'aperçu (for reasons), mais ça limiterait drastiquement le choix des sources. 😅

I tried a more casual handling of grants, following advice and "role model" practices on how to handle the work load.

Sorry, doesn't work for me. it takes time that I don't really have, but I need to go back to a more structured way of working with projects. More control (#controlFreak), more on top of things (#lessDeligation)

So, plz accept that it may even take longer for me to reply to your email. it's not desinterest; it is the inefficient grant funding model

Watching Control Freak with Kelly Marie Tran. Creepy and good. Lynchian almost.

Control Freak (2025)

A motivational speaker, plagued by an uncontrollable itch on her head, becomes infected with a parasitic demon from her homeland.

@BobCollins

The peculiarly USAnian institution of the Home Owners' Association (HOA) (I'm Canadian) is notoriously filled with the kind of busybody Mussolini/Franco-wannabe dictators and martinets that want nothing more than to (a) be all up in everyone else's business, and (b) be upset about it.

They get on the boards (no one else wants to be on them), and they set crazy control-freak rules [1] like:

No vehicles parked on street.
No vehicles parked in driveways outside the hours of 8am - 6pm.
No flags allowed.
No advertising allowed, including company branding on vehicles parked in the neighbourhood.
All yards must be covered with lawn consisting of approved grass seed types and be maintained between 2 and 3 inches long at all times.
All windows must have blinds or drapes that show white to the outside.
Only the colours of these three approved paint chips may be used to paint fences with.
All houses must be stucco of one of these 3 approved colours.
House numbers must be displayed in this approved font, and be between X and Y inches high.
No overnight guests without advanced approval.

... and on and on and on. And then they go around the neighbourhood looking for violators to report to the board (that they're on) for punishment and correction.

It's downright nutty.

[1] These are all examples I've seen online.
