Towson Apple store union: Group secures first tentative contract agreement https://www.thebaltimorebanner.com/community/local-news/towson-apple-store-union-TCQDV6AGRJEKJPYYVSX3THPZ7E/

Higher ed has a newish (?) data broker called Transact.

https://www.campusidnews.com/transacts-data-aggregation-platform-set-to-expand-into-campus-commerce-and-id-space/

From their own lips: "These transactions range from where they eat, if they attend their lectures, pay their tuition bill on time, where and when they move across campus, how often they do laundry, or how many Energy Drinks they buy at the library at 2 am before exams."

My students gonna adore this.

Who else wants to FOIA public institutions for who's selling/giving these jerks data?

The left and right have very different ideas about what counts as fun

Vice President Harris — she’s making politics fun again!

This realization came to Kate Cohen sometime between the 26th and 27th political TikTok her daughter scrolled through with her.

It’s not just the pop-music-scored “Kamalanomenon” unfolding,

but the “candy-store array” of possible VP picks who might help Harris “crush” former president Donald Trump.

Yes, “crush.”

Kate describes a “we got this” glee
that feels almost foreign after so many years of “if only” wistfulness.

As she asks, “When was the last time it was this fun to be a Democrat?”


Meanwhile, GOP leadership reportedly wants to stop Republicans from having any fun at all with the Harris boom.

I hate how NBC manages to take a 45 minute segment and turn it into three hours. I know I say this every two years, but NBC’s coverage of the Olympics is just not good.

LIVE SOON:

Olympics? What's that?

Who did this?

Biden lifted sanctions on Israeli billionaire Dan Gertler? The man who is literally destroying the Congolese people, genocide for profit? How are Gertler and his cronies not being prosecuted as war criminals?

Just at the nice cafe, and sat with my coffee crush ... Giggles ... We were giggling and laughing at everything ... They had to get back to work ... They squeeze my thigh ... Melting ... Giggles

I couldn't date them, I wouldn't want to ruin their life ... Like I am older enough to be their mother and I'm trans

This always amuses me when Trump says he's a family values guy:

Power.

The past few days have had Khmer family visiting. We either have no one or are overrun with people. I just hide out most times. Or give the wifi key to those in need. #today they leave. And I'm gone for coffee. I think my wife is gonna be gone soon as they leave for Preah Vihear province.

Please keep in mind that the Harris euphoria will not -- cannot -- last nonstop through November. There's a natural ebb and flow to everything. Count on the Trump cult getting part of their vile act together after their initially flummoxed response.

Meanwhile, Big Journalism is going to do everything it possibly can to stir up trouble so it can cover the election, as it loves to do, as blood sport. Issues? Ha.

We will save democracy. The hardest work begins now -- please do what you can.

Nobody wants to read all 900 pages of Trump’s Project 2025 — so we did.

From the #Kentucky #birding email list I heard of the passing of a local conservation legend Bob Peak, who, with his wife Judy, spent 30 years monitoring and managing hundreds of Eastern Bluebird nest boxes. Here's a 2008 interview with them (starting at 9:30): https://video.ket.org/video/kentucky-dinnerbluebird-loversfurniture-maker-hkzgss/

Normalise cities being able to dance for joy without having to hold a sporting event.

What blows my mind is how many Black people openly state they want the same things that "whiteness" gives Europeans, ignoring the irrefutable fact that whiteness is subsidized by a permanent underclass that includes people of European descent, but are mostly Black, Brown, Indigenous, and those PoC - Asians, Southeast Asian, Indian, and Arabic who are open about aspiring to white class status.

Cooperative Capitalism works, but Black people blindly cling to the ambition of being an oppressor, not bring the oppressor down.

Let me be clear, a higher seat at the table of a structurally unjust system, diversity among the ruling class, is NOT progress, it is a bribe!

Is there a way, in #Rust, to reliably get a pointer to somewhere inside a code section of the executable or DLL that my crate has been linked into?

For example, reading the instruction pointer would do the trick. But, for the sake of portability to other CPU architectures, I would like to avoid using assembly code to do this.

This only has to work on Windows. Portability to other operating systems is not a concern.

Anyone have an idea?

Halloween special where Bob kills and dismembers Mr Fishoedder and keeps the remains in his basement, with story B having Louise join forces with the demonic presence that lives in the corner of her bedroom ceiling.

People are lazy AF. They won't go to the source. They won't read his book. They post disinformation or lies. People are showing their ass.

News:

The couch fucking story is real. It was in the first edition of his book. Then the couch fucking was removed from follow-on print editions.

I read it. Unbelievable. James Donald Bowman aka Jimmy Hamel aka JD wrote about fucking his couch. Yet, he slut shames millions and will deny Women healthcare and force rape victims to give birth to a rapist baby.

UPDATE on next post: 21 page in and I found this insane fucking admission. 💀
JD had Candy wrappers up his butt and JD used hot dogs as dildos up his butt. He wrote it.

Here's the full page. Page 180.

If this turns out to be accurate, then in our lifetimes, #climate pollution will have caused incredible weather extremes in America, the icy end of crops in N. Europe, and widespread droughts in Asia and Africa: "He plugged in the water temperatures and let the code run. Now here he was, staring at a rather remarkable number: 2057."

Excellent motorcycle spotto. I'm not even sure what this is. Walked away before realising I couldn't read the badge in the photo.

It may surprise people, but Sen. Rand Paul has presented a pretty good explanation of why no one (Democrat or Republican) should support KOSA. www.techdirt.com/2024/07/26/k...
