in an ideal world, we won’t need to own cars, when we need one, we will be able to summon one, or reserve it for fixed appointments.
I like the thought of not having to find or pay for a parking spot as the car is just going to drive off to pick up its next user.

Former President Donald Trump’s final chief of staff in the White House, Mark Meadows, has spoken with special counsel Jack Smith’s team at least three times this year, including once before a federal grand jury, which came only after Smith granted Meadows immunity to testify under oath, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The sources said Meadows informed Smith’s team that he repeatedly told Trump in the weeks after the 2020 presidential election that the allegations of significant voting fraud coming to them were baseless, a striking break from Trump’s prolific rhetoric regarding the election.

According to the sources, Meadows also told the federal investigators Trump was being “dishonest” with the public when he first claimed to have won the election only hours after polls closed on Nov. 3, 2020, before final results were in.

“Obviously we didn’t win,” a source quoted Meadows as telling Smith’s team in hindsight.

I believe we should keep the Electoral College but with a couple of key reforms:

First being that the number of electors should represent the state’s population, not the size of its Congressional delegation

Secondly that it should only kick in if no single candidate gains a clear and uncontestable majority of the popular votes.

But this is all just soap bubbles as the low-population states are never gonna vote to approve an amendment to change the EC

Being for the Benefit of Mr. Trump

For the benefit of Mr. Trump
There will be a show this month in Court Room 3
The Murdochs will not attend
Late of Dominion v. Fox and friends-what a scene
With many horse’s shits and barters
And via an orange man of stupid lies!
In this way Mr. Trump will challenge the world!

The celebrated Rudy G.
Will perform his feat some week on Court TV
The Fox & Friends will dance and sing
As Mr. Trump lies through the ring, don’t you see
Messrs. G and M assure the public
Their productions will be second to none
And Fo Sho Hannity The Whore dances the waltz!

The trial begins at 10:06
When Rudy G. performs his tricks without a sound
And Rupert M. will demonstrate
Ten talk show sets he’ll undertake off solid ground
Having been some days in preparation
A splendid time is guaranteed for all
And tonight Mr. Trump is stiffing the bill

If the House was expanded, which hasn’t happened in over a century, the electoral college would more accurately reflect the states’ populations, without having to pass a constitutional amendment. And it would make the House more representative as well.

Germany has 736 delegates in its lower house, with a population of only about 1/4 of the USA. Granted, they have the largest Parliament in Europe, but it goes to show that the US Congress could better represent us if it were larger,

Khamenei may not be Arab, but the Iranians are on board with the Arab autocrats on this issue.

Any attempts at such will be throttled by dissemination of disinformation by TwitterX, and considered a good investment by the Public Investment Fund.

Starting to use Node.js for some stuff at LGF. I wrote a script to upload images to Bluesky using node-fetch, and it’s working at last. Had to do it this way because the PHP/curl code I developed keeps failing on the uploadBlob call to Bluesky’s API (and only that call), and I’m pretty sure at this point after trying a million things and fighting it for a month that the bug is on their side; I think they have a server somewhere in their CDN network that’s either timing out or failing with “chunked” uploads.

But Javascript in the browser or Node on the server do not have this issue, because they don’t use curl, they have their own implementation of the HTTP 1.1 protocol, and it works for this.

One more time: the only people clamoring for self-driving vehicles are the job-killers taking their profits at the top.

Last day of 2018:
Wielding Rocks and Knives, Arizonans Attack Self-Driving Cars

The assailant slipped out of a park around noon one day in October, zeroing in on his target, which was idling at a nearby intersection — a self-driving van operated by Waymo, the driverless-car company spun out of Google.

He carried out his attack with an unidentified sharp object, swiftly slashing one of the tires. The suspect, identified as a white man in his 20s, then melted into the neighborhood on foot.

The slashing was one of nearly two dozen attacks on driverless vehicles over the past two years in Chandler, a city near Phoenix where Waymo started testing its vans in 2017.

Is a Butlerian Jihad in the offing?

As explained in Dune, the Butlerian Jihad is a conflict taking place over 11,000 years in the future (and over 10,000 years before the events of Dune), which results in the total destruction of virtually all forms of “computers, thinking machines, and conscious robots”. With the prohibition “Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind,” the creation of even the simplest thinking machines is outlawed and made taboo, which has a profound influence on the socio-political and technological development of humanity in the Dune series.

That is a simple bit of plot that is never satisfactorily explained in any of the Dune renditions to date. It is why they need spice: since there are no computers, the Navigators have to consume enough spice to allow them to “see” a safe course for the ship they are piloting.

Two dozen American military personnel were wounded last week in a series of drone attacks at American bases in Iraq and Syria, U.S. Central Command told NBC News on Tuesday.

The Pentagon confirmed the attacks last week, but the number of U.S. casualties has not been previously disclosed.

Twenty American personnel sustained minor injuries on Oct. 18 when at least two one-way attack drones targeted al-Tanf military base in southern Syria, CENTCOM said.

One of the drones was shot down. All of the wounded personnel were returned to duty, CENTCOM said, and there was no damage to any military installations.

On that same day, another four American personnel suffered minor injuries during two separate drone attacks against U.S. and coalition forces stationed at al-Asad base in western Iraq, CENTCOM said.

The Germans have a system whereby half of the House is elected as direct mandates by district and the other half of the house is assigned based on the share of the vote that each party receives overall. Parties post a numbered list of candidates who are then called up based on total votes cast for their party.

(Parties also need a 5% minimum to be seated in parliament)

That also helps diminish the effect of drawing random lines on maps.

Here’s hoping the first Dune gets a re-release prior to the second part coming out. In 2021, HBOMax was sending its new releases straight to its streaming service. Though there was a theater release, I didn’t have a chance to see it in one. Would love to take in the full scope of the story, cinematography and score on a big screen.

I liked the new Dune, but it is a bit dozy in places.

Fucking Trump ass lickers would STILL vote for him.

Of course, but we just need to peel off a sliver of swing voters to lower Trump’s share of the electorate too low for him to win, and I don’t imagine many true independents would vote for a fugitive who fled the country.

It was, but then, I’m one of those who doesn’t believe a good movie, one that doesn’t deviate too much, can be made of the Herbert’s book. There are too many characters, too many import scenes, that, if put into a movie would make it as long as the book took to read. And it would still be dozy, probably, even more so.

They’re trying to make a power-sharing arrangement between the Freedumb Caucus and the Republican Party, which would, technically, be a proper coalition government, on the premise that the MAGA cult and what passes for mainstream Republicans are headed toward being two separate parties. It’s still a psychotic arrangement that isn’t going to get any real work done, but it is an arrangement.

re: #17 Captain Ron

It’s privately owned, it’s was never a public forum and it’s controllers always have the capacity to alter who is allowed to speak. Arguing about specific instances of this permissiveness because they aren’t your preferred parameters is horseshit: it’s a private company and can do what it wants. Either sack up and declare that social media functions like a utility or sack up and don’t use social media as the basis of your information consumption.

Any state actor using Twitter is engaged in propaganda, and the entire idea of nations or militaries or individual politicians being able to squat on a site and dictate narratives is…just a terrible fucking idea compounding the more general terrible idea of algorithms Skinner Boxing everyone into a constant cycle of stressful stimulus and cathartic response. I would compare it to 1984 because it’s the state inventing an impaired language that constrains how people think and communicate, but 1984 fails to capture the gross twitch-reaction porn-ness of how this all functions: all social media is an ad, even personal communications function like propaganda.

The debate on what constitutes free speech on Twitter must be leavened by the larger frame in which…there was and is no reason to ever expect Twitter to engage in good faith discussion of what constitutes free speech, and this has always been the case. Twitter is a barely-cobbled-together platform in which verification was invented as a kind of minimal stop-gap to a flood of impersonation scams that might splash culpability on it’s operator or scary away “valuable” celebrity participants.

Everyone keeps getting mad that the scorpion functions as a scorpion but also demands that the sweet mellow high from low-dose scorpion stings be retained as a feature.

re: #34 BeenHereAwhile

Should there be another Arab Spring it won’t be coordinated thru Twitter as it was in 2010.

Khamenei may not be Arab, but the Iranians are on board with the Arab autocrats on this issue.

Any attempts at such will be throttled by dissemination of disinformation by TwitterX, and considered a good investment by the Public Investment Fund.

This is…technically correct but also fails to acknowledge that Twitter performs this functions for all state and non-state actors because the problem is not what specific states want, but how Twitter’s basic structure makes it perfect to disguise ad copy, propaganda, and disinformation as personal communication.

Twitter was made to capture and monetize attention, and it’s structure has always been better for bad faith actors…anyone that benefits from a format that’s short on detail, leans heavy into emotional reaction and titillation, and creates versimilitude through repetition…and now the owner is just absolutely shameless about the value proposition of the platform. Musk himself liked Twitter as a means to (1) pump stocks, (2) transform personal slight into moral panics and thus sees no reason to disguise that functionality.

This sucks, but it’s not mysterious. The same mechanisms that created Kim Kardashian as a billionaire influencer created Gamergate—the actual best example of inauthentic reactionary social media being transformed into base conservative culture—are now at play in world politics.

Saudi Arabia doesn’t need to own Twitter to use it as a disinformation font: KSA successfully used social media and conventional media to sell MBS as a reformer when he effectively usurped power, and has done a pretty good job of selling him as reformer and progressive again after he ordered a journalist chopped up. Prior to the purchase of Twitter shares they were already using spyware and private espionage services to track and harass dissidents. Like, the barn is already on fire, further speculation about when the arson will happen is kind of superfluous.

If you look at the other tech shit KSA has invested in, the most efficient answer to why they part of Twitter is that they make incredibly shitty tech purchases as part of a scramble to spend money on things they hope will have value after their oil runs out (and because they’re not going to redistribute that wealth to regular Saudis or the general welfare of Muslims). You do not have to hand these people credit, and in doing so you’re obfuscating that (1) social media and it’s interrelated bullshit…like scraping everyone’s data…is an inherent violation of security and privacy independent on which “bad guy” is involved, (2) that “the bad guys” are not supervillains but barely-competent twats that persist because there’s a broken world-system that rewards their fuckery because the alternative is more expensive oil.

re: #45 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

That is a simple bit of plot that is never satisfactorily explained in any of the Dune renditions to date. It is why they need spice: since there are no computers, the Navigators have to consume enough spice to allow them to “see” a safe course for the ship they are piloting.

The Dune books make it quite clear that the absence of “thinking machines” is the central fact of the series. The ever-proliferating series of prequel and side action novels includes one devoted specifically to it. Dune: The Butlerian Jihad
I have never seen any of the various Dune movies or other dramatic presentations since the first one, the David Lynch version in 1984. In that one, there was no mention of the Butlerian prohibition, which is one of the things that made the movie so confusing, even non-sensical, to people who were not already familiar with the series.

To be frank, I don’t understand why they don’t support the domestic terrorists in their party and put one of them up as the Speaker of the House. The majority of Republicans voted to overturn the election AFTER the deadly insurrection. They are the party of treason. They need a Speaker to reflect who they are.

re: #14 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

I believe we should keep the Electoral College but with a couple of key reforms:

First being that the number of electors should represent the state’s population, not the size of its Congressional delegation

Secondly that it should only kick in if no single candidate gains a clear and uncontestable majority of the popular votes.

But this is all just soap bubbles as the low-population states are never gonna vote to approve an amendment to change the EC

electors are based on population, because representation in the House is based on population. The problem is we have an artificial cap of 435 seats in the House set after the 1910 census and our population has only grown by 356% since then.

the electoral college needs to go. it’s outlived it’s usefulness (which was only to empower voters in slave states) and makes no sense in a modern political system with (at least de jure) universal suffrage.

Now that you know drop D tuning, look up Slither by Velvet revolver. Most is played on the E/A bottom strings.
And Cinnamon Girl by Neil Young is in double drop D tuning.
You drop both E strings to D, and it all becomes clear.
Andy still plays and promotes pedals and shows how to play to this day.
And he plays each pedal through a Reissue Deluxe Reverb, which gives you the foundation.
I used open E tuning for slide back in the day, and if I knew how to do open G then…
George Thorogood used open G and Keef Richards made a living on it.
Have fun.
