Interesting take on #software in general - called by the author "Utopian Software" 😎

Description:
"Software that does not have to defend against misuse and contains precisely and only the features its user requires."

The very much fits most of what I write in the #sfotware realm.

#Paris2024. #OlympischeSpiele. Rücksichtslosigkeit pur. Für vier Wettkampftage soll Tahiti zur Bühne der weltbesten Wellenreiter werden. Der Preis für die Insel ist hoch: Korallenriff auf Tahiti beschädigt... Außerdem: Meeresbiologe Sebastian Ferse sagte Anfang des Jahres im Sportschau-Interview: "Wenn das Riff (...) eine andere Form annimmt, kann das dazu führen, dass über kurz oder lang der Charakter dieser Welle verloren geht. Das, was die Magie dieses Ortes ist, und die Veranstalter eigentlich dahin gezogen hat, wird durch diese eine Veranstaltung (Olympia 2024) bedroht."

Are they all drinking Diet Mountain Dew? It might be that. Someone should look into that.

In the interim, I propose "resting rigor mortis" as a phrase to describe this ... posture GOP presidential hopefuls seem to take.

Kind of a mix between a kid coming out of a dressing room to show his mother how the suit fits and one of those dead rodents you see on the side of the highway.

Vance's is in an earlier stage, but it should be monitored.

NEW BALL OF THREAD BONUS EPISODE:

Bannon's Hangout

Most people don't remember or think about the few months where Steve Bannon went rogue and accused Don Jr. of collusion. It led to the most Watergate moment of the Russia investigation.

The thrill of Ball of Thread is helping @emptywheel tie the history of the last 8 years together in a way that makes sense before it's too late.

This episode ties in Watergate & invited us to create a listenable version of a crucial conversation from the Nixon tapes for history's sake.

Me reading all those slow burn sapphic romances. It shouldn't take half a book to kiss. Hurry up, my queers!
Tumblr posts.

User renault mograine. Slow burn but it's written by an impatient person

User cheese an onion crisps. This doesn't affect the speed of the developing relationship at all, but does make for a very passive aggressive narrator.

User sanders studies. “They looked into each other’s eyes for a long moment...again. Notably, they were not kissing.”

NYT has concluded that Trump's ear was grazed by a bullet.

Their reasoning:

1. Trump's ear was bloodied by the first shot.

2. A video shows the first shot creating a puff of smoke in the bleachers behind Trump.

3. The path from the shooter to Trump to the bleachers is a straight line.

They don't say where they obtained the video, and their theory doesn't account for the fact that this bullet trajectory couldn't have caused the wound that we saw in photos.

The New York Times has sadly clearly demonstrated that they cannot now be trusted so their "analysis" is worthless.
Barney mastodon (AP)
@GreenFire

They've certainly jettisoned their credibility as a legitimate news outlet.

They've convinced me that the wound was caused by the first shot. I suppose that shot probably also caused the puff of smoke. But the puff of smoke doesn't indicate the bullet's impact point, and their 3D model can't confirm that the bullet's path was a straight line. Perhaps it richocheted off of the floor of the stage? And, again, their proposed trajectory couldn't have caused Trump's wound.

I'm not even interested in doing any analysis on what hit Trump's ear if anything even did just like I don't care to really know whether or not his VP nominee sleeps on or with a couch.

My only interest in it is to keep these stories being talked about because it puts the Republicans on their back feet like they've done to Democrats so often.
Kevin Leecaster mastodon (AP)

I happen to think that his choice of JD Vance as his VP nominee clearly indicates that Trump suffered brain damage when that school shooter brought his NRA-sanctioned AR15 to his rally.

Enter athletes   Enter    with reverence and honor
The Olympic Games begin
What a mockery in the here and now
This is not the Olympic Games, it is a sadness

Worse yet the IOC propagates here and now to ALL of us without shame naked misanthropy

Here and now the IOC is showing us ALL their real face

I call on the IOC to answer one question for me and for the tens of thousands of people who have already signed the petition

Why is a convicted sex offender allowed to compete at the Olympic Games? A person who raped a 12-year-old girl several times?

You can be banned for life for doping but not for rape?

Rethink your rules IOC

It is now up to ALL of us to show HUMANITY

This is not a hate campaign  or  hate speech

This is a call for silent, non-violent protest

I beg all those who visit these games
not to applaud this particular person
Turn around, leave the stadium, say NO
Or like me, boycott completely

What counts more? Thinking of victims or Olympic gold?

Enter athletes, enter
Leave humanity behind you
Leave honor behind you
Let the modern Olympic Games begin
