This seems so science-fictiony that most people won't take it seriously. That would be a bad mistake.

Not only are we messing up the planet, we're also inadvertently shutting our door to space. When we're shut in, we're probably shut in for ever.

And when I say "we" are shutting that door, I mean mainly Musk.

Can you imagine how cold and dark it feels for Trump to be raging & ranting the same as always, but the media is paying attention to a WOMAN OF COLOR instead & every broadcast is about her when three weeks ago they were all about you?

Trump is sobbing into the void. He wants his mummy back.

👴🏻Support Biden, no matter what he does! This election is too important! Just vote for the pro-cop agenda, and we'll fix it after the election!
🧔🏿‍♂️No. Stop killing us.

👴🏻Biden dropped out! Support whoever the next nominee is, even if they're super pro-cop! Even if we don't choose Kamala! This election is too important!
🧔🏿‍♂️No. Stop killing us.

👴🏻Kamala is about to announce her VP! Remember, support this ticket no matter who it is! This election is too important!
🧔🏿‍♂️ Do I really have to say it?

It took five years to write, but here's the full story behind Lambda School, Silicon Valley's disastrous foray into for-profit education.

I explain how they burned through $120 million in funding, why Income Share Agreements failed, the crimes committed along the way, and how one developer turned journalist put an end to the fraud.

Two days after his company's downfall, Austen Allred wrote: I wish people could see how ugly it is to be envious, and how obvious it is to those around you when that's what's happening. There's not much uglier than trying to tear someone down because they achieved what you wish

So if domestic abusers aren't allowed to own firearms, that means we are disarming the police, right?
I suspect the long 20th century (from 1917 to some time in the 21st) is going to be remembered by historians as an ideological shit sandwich: Leninism as the first slice of bread baked with excrement, Nazism as the pure shit filling, then Neoliberalism as the second slice of shit bread. An era after the old certainties of monarchy imploded, dominated by unreasonable advocacy of pure theory in economics and governance until people starved, punctuated by outbreaks of mass murder.
Never let anyone get away with calling property damage "violence." They love to blur that line to justify real violence (done to people)

@fgaz At a job long in the past, I had a coworker who was very enamored of a particular do-everything Python library which I will not name at this time. This library included some built-in logging facilities, but he didn't actually need the log for the thing he was making, so he set it to log to `/dev/null`.

It turns out that this library had automatic log rotation built in. The way it worked was that it kept track of the number of bytes written to a log, and when it crossed a certain threshold, it would rename the file it was logging to, and open a new log file.

Unfortunately, the thing my coworker built ran as `root`. It started up and ran fine for a while, merrily logging to `/dev/null` as instructed. After a while, though, it noticed "oh hey I've written more than a megabyte of logs, time to rotate the log file" - it then renamed `/dev/null` to `/dev/null.YYYY-mm-dd.HH:MM:SS` and created a new `/dev/null` that was just a regular text file. From that point onward, anything that got written to `/dev/null` actually got written to disk. Chaos ensued.

That one took a whole day to figure out...

This suggests an EU country was engaged in (systematic?) crime that lead to manslaughter on a dramatic scale.
It’s enough. This needs to stop!
The Hellenic Coast Guard needs independent monitoring, by anyone, be it the EU or other EU countries!
& courts need to take this up.
