We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.

I keep this in mind when people talk about how loving hard something is for the government to accomplish.

Yeah there is a lot of fringe, queer, honest loving porn on Tumblr and it's gonna be sad to see it go.

I'm not trying to be a weirdo, it's just hard to find a non-gross place to easily find community driven porn.

A German group set up a website for the project they were working on: using facial recognition software to ID people at neo-Nazi rallies, so they could then send that information on to the people's bosses etc.. This was, of course, leaked to neo-Nazi groups, who began going to the site to see if they or their friends had been IDed yet.

Except it was a honeypot. There was no facial recognition going on; what the site was really doing was gathering names, operating on the principle of "let people doxx themselves". They started with 1500 known neo-Nazis in their database, and anytime someone searched for someone who wasn't in their database, that name got added and assigned a likelihood score based on how many other known neo-Nazis the searcher had already searched for. They've apparently now got thousands of people, each with at least one connection to known neo-Nazis, and the owners of the site (the Center for Political Beauty) are now offering their database to law enforcement and employers.

Former Attorney General William Barr has been nominated to be the next Attorney General.


Wikipedia posted:

Barr was known as a strong defender of Presidential power and wrote advisory opinions justifying the U.S. invasion of Panama and arrest of Manuel Noriega, and a controversial opinion that the F.B.I. could enter onto foreign soil without the consent of the host government to apprehend fugitives wanted by the United States government for terrorism or drug-trafficking.

....

The media described Barr as staunchly conservative. The New York Times described the "central theme" of his tenure to be: "his contention that violent crime can be reduced only by expanding Federal and state prisons to jail habitual violent offenders." At the same time, reporters consistently described Barr as affable with a dry, self-deprecating wit.

Fox News isn't even sugarcoating how bad things are for the President, so honestly this is a pretty significant shift.

Christmas pop music is universally garbage. There is literally no reason to listen to a single Christmas song unless a) you have religious reasons or b) you really dig choral music.

My Qatari/UAE customers and partners call it "Kuh tar". Is that incorrect?

Okay dipshit, you better start sounding like Arnie when you say California, Scarface when you say Montana, and my tios when you say Tejas.

I did a bunch of reading on the Skylab program a while back. The "strike" story is little more than media sensationalism, in the book Homesteading Space there are some interviews with the actual people involved:


IIRC there's a post on r/badhistory that goes into exhaustive detail as to the whole mission timeline, as only space nerds can, but another issue with the story is that the "strike" is supposed to have happened on the 28th and they had their discussion with Mission Control on the 30th, but on the 29th they did a space walk, the scabs!

Labor negotiations are one of the most common labor practices. Limited labor strikes are a thing, too.

I would argue that they may not have been intended to strike, but effectively did; ground control had unreasonable expectations and the laborers, intentionally or not, effectively stopped work to management and this enabled a negotiation to happen.

Not the glorious revolution but an interesting example of labor disputes being remediated.
