Old, grumpy git. I don't eat Tofu, but am otherwise a fully paid up member of the 'Wokerati, or, to paraphrase POTUS, a 'Radical Left Lunatic' who loves fairness, equality and DEI.

I've studied Classical Guitar since retiring, and can now read music reasonably. I've played Acoustic Guitar, intermittently, for most of my adult life. I've also taken up the Mandolin in recent years.
Just learning about hashtags... #fbpe #wokerati #ClassicalGuitar #Mandolin #MMT

Trump is flailing, and Iranians know it

The Contrarian

"Does the tail wag the dog? The truth is the dog & the tail are wagging each other".

Israel is Washington’s most favoured client state. It has to operate within ME “security” parameters laid down by the US.

At the same time, Israel influences "those parameters in its own interests, chiefly by shaping military, political & cultural discourse in the US through the many levers available to it."

Report: Yemen's Houthis have entered the war in support of Iran. Disrupting traffic in the Bab el-Mandeb strait "would be a game changer."

"Restrictions on the Strait of Hormuz at the same time as..in the Bab el-Mandeb will disrupt, if not cripple, trade toward Europe."

This is "now the sweet spot for the Houthis, threatening escalation without provoking regional retaliation."

Miasma: A tool to trap AI web scrapers in an endless poison pit

"AI companies continually scrape the internet at an enormous scale, swallowing up all of its contents to use as training data for their next models. If you have a public website, they are already stealing your work.

Miasma is here to help you fight back! Spin up the server and point any malicious traffic towards it. Miasma will send poisoned training data from the poison fountain alongside multiple self-referential links. It's an endless buffet of slop for the slop machines.

Miasma is very fast and has a minimal memory footprint - you should not have to waste compute resources fending off the internet's leeches."

Trump admires gold tractor at White House Trump admires gold tractor at White House https://share.google/gahKd0mClOQheozoW

Can't we have Biff try out this gold tractor? Climb up on it, and sit there making "vroom, vroom" noises like a toddler? Or maybe, would we need a derrick or lift to get him up there?

'A beautiful tractor’: Trump pauses to admire gold tractor

President Trump admired a gold-wrapped tractor on the White House lawn while addressing farmers about lowering costs.

I had a feeling this was going to happen. Sad news, especially given the poor state of sea ice after this winter.

Looks like we won't be getting any more data for Arctic sea-ice thickness and volume for a while from PIOMAS. See: https://psc.apl.uw.edu/research/projects/arctic-sea-ice-volume-anomaly/
