re: #23 The Pie Overlord!
Prices have soared globally thanks to covid and renewed demand thanks to a resurgent economy. US inflation is lower than OECD average because the US is doing better on inflation than most. That’s due to Democrats’ policies, which have been opposed by the GOP.
The Fed keeps hiking interest rates, not because the economy sucks, but because the economy is growing too fast. But those interest rates do nothing to reduce oil prices, which is controlled by OPEC and despotic regimes and oil companies that maximize their profits by keeping supply tight and refining capacity is constrained. Those oil companies refuse to expand capacity, because it’d eat in to record profits.
Did we expect the corrupted counsel for the corrupted court to say anything else?

And isn’t this nice…Sleazy E lets Covid lies back on Twitter.
Twitter says it has stopped imposing its COVID misinformation policy in the latest shakeup of the company since Elon Musk’s $44 billion takeover. The policy first came into force two years ago in a bid to combat “harmful misinformation” about the coronavirus and its vaccines, with some 11,000 accounts suspended from Twitter for breaching the rules between January 2020 and September 2022. While no formal announcement appears to have been made about the policy being killed off, some Twitter users spotted a note posted to the policy’s page on Twitter’s website. “Effective November 23, 2022, Twitter is no longer enforcing the COVID-19 misleading information policy,” the note reads. News of the change comes after Musk promised to reinstate previously banned accounts in a “general amnesty” as early as this week.

Yecchhh! As the no doubt frequent skid marks and other, er, uh sign she observes will attest, they will stop liquid droplets and solid particles, though not the accompanying gases. The covid virus is very small but it is solid and is suspended in liquid droplets.
From Markos:
It’s a popular refrain: Why doesn’t the West supply Ukraine with “X,” where X are advanced weapons platforms like NATO battle tanks, advanced infantry fighting vehicles, Patriot and other air defenses, and fighter jets. Some will darkly mutter that NATO doesn’t want Ukraine to win, that the West prefers Russia to bleed out slowly, that Putin is being protected, etc.
Yet the real answer is the same answer I’ve been giving since the first weeks of the war—operating such gear might not be too hard, but maintaining it is a monumental challenge for Western armies. For Ukraine, dealing with myriad new weapons systems in the middle of a brutal war? Impossible.
Take the M777, a basic piece of military equipment.
This is a simple weapons system. No wheels or tracks. Has to be towed. Electronics are basic and modular (not deeply integrated into the howitzer, but snap on externally to help aim better). There is no automation. The howitzer is manually aimed by turning wheels and pulleys. It is the military equivalent of a bicycle. And yet, as The New York Times has found, Ukraine is struggling to maintain these pieces.
A third of the roughly 350 Western-made howitzers donated to Kyiv are out of action at any given time, according to U.S. defense officials and others familiar with Ukraine’s defense needs.
To stress, that’s over 115 of those howitzers out of order at any given time. And it gets worse—since Ukraine doesn’t have the expertise and logistical chain to maintain them, they have to be shipped out of the country to facilities in Poland, Slovakia, and Romania to be serviced. Just think about how inefficient that is.
The same is happening with Germany’s highly touted PzH 2000 self-propelled artillery guns. At one point, it was rumored that all of those guns Germany had given Ukraine were down for servicing. Same with Polish Krabs, etc.
….
Remember, the M777 is like a bicycle. That means an F16 fighter jet or M1 Abrams (with its jet turbine engine) are like a Ferrari. If Ukraine is struggling to maintain a simple towed howitzer, how is it going to maintain infinitely more complex Western battle tanks, fighter jets, or Patriot air defense systems (where the basic training for its maintenance crews is over a year)?
Again, the problem isn’t training fighter pilots, tank crew members, and air defense operators. That stuff is easy and can be managed in weeks or a few months. Maintenance is the real challenge, and will continue to be Ukraine’s biggest headache no matter how much people want to claim that Ukraine is “motivated,” “resourceful,” “scrappy,” and other adjectives suggesting Ukraine can simply “figure it out.” Meanwhile, back in the real world, they still haven’t figured out the M777 nine months in.
…
“Why doesn’t the West provide Ukraine with long-range rockets like ATACMS.” Okay, that refrain I agree with. Better munitions for Ukraine’s existing weapon’s platforms for sure, please.

The homophobic bigots are going to have a bad day today. Gaming company Bungie has been notoriously coy about how it is wrapping up its current season of Destiny 2, which has been frustrating for many players who want to have something to hype up the new season as it approaches. Aside from the drama factor of last-minute reveals, this season’s concluding cutscene also revealed that two (male) mainstay characters of the franchise are in a relationship. That’s gonna piss some gamerbros off.

Twitter is not the town square. Twitter wants to be the town square since the eye balls are the key to it being financially solvent. Twitter without moderation concerning misinformation, lies, and being fine with being a poor communications environment will never be a town square I wish to partake in.
Staying to prevent the liars from “taking over” is not the eye ball’s job. It’s Musk’s. If the product Musk & Co. produce is a sewer of lies, grift, and garbage the eye balls should opt to leave since that is the only message Musk will eventually understand since the advertisers will get that message much faster.
What’s to stay for? This isn’t a “town square.” It’s a tightly managed privately-owned disinformation apparatus that we enable by being here.

Lots of people care about imaginary characters. We cannot know everyone in the world, but fictional characters can stand as proxies for people who’s qualities and struggles we will never encounter in real life.
But angry gamer guys don’t care about fictional characters in that way; they want the opposite, for characters to only be packed full of characteristics they either possess or desire to possess. That’s why characters can’t be gay, why depicting gayness is “politics”—they don’t want to relate to or interact with something that is outside their existing desires and appetites.
This has been the heart of all the various “angry bros” outrages—in comics, in scifi, in fantasy—they don’t want complexity or to be challenged, they want smooth integration into a power fantasy.
Twitter is now owned by a narcissist who posts misinformation and panders to white nationalists. There’s no way for the truth to win when Elon has his thumb on the scale.

re: #140 The Ghost of a Flea
Destiny, in particular, has a rather involved community; players build their gaming identity around their Guardians (player characters) and how they imagine they interact with the non-player characters and the events in the world. There are artists who can be commissioned to create stylized and, frankly, incredibly beautiful digital drawings of a player’s character. Bungie highlights community contributions of artwork, whether it be drawings, videos (in-game or created by fans), or stories. There will actually be angry players out there who feel Bungie ruined their Guardian’s backstory by making one of these characters gay. Though I have to say, for every one player like that, there’ll probably be five or six more who will look at the character in a more wholesome light. I’ve already seen some loud cheers from some of my favorite Destiny content creators.
In 1847, Missouri banned education for black people.

Except that Elon Musk - for whatever reasons his own demons keep whispering into his ear - seems inflexibly determined NOT to “get the message”. Far from it: he seems dead-set on maintaining personal control of “the message”, and (in the true rich-RW-narcissist manner) dealing with criticism/negative reactions by doubling down on the BS, insulting/demeaning/belittling any critics, and taking refuge behind the flag (his “free speech” shibboleth is likely to wear thin very soon). All actions which are easy for him, as he now owns the Very Large Megaphone of Twitter. Though one really has to wonder how much longer that company can maintain itself: I had assumed it would take Elon about two years to run it right into the ground: I’ve since revised my estimate: I’m thinking it will be functionally “gone” by Mid-Summer.

It probably won’t be in the future, but the future is not here yet, so until the capacity is there to take the discussion off Twitter, I think efforts will still do good there.

State laws differ on how you are qualified and what it takes to disqualify.

Also…where is the thing called ‘vetting?’
Anyway - here is one of many good bits (Yiannopoulos speaking):
“I also wanted to send a message to Trump that he has systematically repeatedly neglected, ignored, abused the people who love him the most, the people who put him in office, and that kind of behavior comes back to bite you in the end,” he added.
And, Yiannopoulos said, he arranged the dinner “just to make Trump’s life miserable” because news of the dinner would leak and Trump would mishandle it.
So…Milo wanted to make Trump’s life miserable. And Ye brings a white supremacist. Ye…who is black…is hanging out with a white supremacist…and has Milo as a political advisor.

The Dr. Oz Show got canceled last year shortly after he announced his campaign. RadarOnline reports that Oz is “groveling to everyone he knows” in order to revive his daytime talk show about health, but the effort has been dead on arrival, much like his political career. His former producers reportedly won’t talk to him, and Radar characterized him as “too toxic” for TV.
Another source told the outlet: “He can’t even get a word with his former producers. Dr. Oz is a social creature who likes to hear himself talk, and it’s beginning to dawn on him that he’s just [not] wanted in Hollywood circles anymore.” Oprah Winfrey’s Harpo Productions produced his show for all 13 seasons, and Oprah endorsed Oz’s opponent, Lt. Gov. John Fetterman (D), in the final days of the race.

Let’s talk TBMs.
Elon’s company bought a second hand TBM from caterpillar.
Then they claimed to have built a faster one, they dug smaller diameter tunnels (the supposed secret to it’s speed). Except it ran at about the same speed as any other TBM. When it ran, which was not often.
Mean while real TBMs where digging hundreds of kilometres of tunnels around Paris, in Switzerland and elsewhere. Not pissy little tunnels you could run a Tesla through, but useful tunnels you could run two double decker full sized trains through.
Machines like this:
There were 20 TBMs used to build the new “grand Paris express” metro around Paris, while the boring company managed to dig a couple of kilometres of narrow tunnels around Vegas.
