I get much quiet satisfaction from putting a dozen newly-arrived bottles of #wine into the rack.

Up here in the northern suburbs of NYC, I thought it was a loud helicopter going over, until social media blew up...
Well I don't believe Darjeeling,
Or the faces on the ceiling,
But I guess that's just the way
the story goes...
And in my mind we aren't wearing
any clothes
We got no clothes 🎶

So as an AI expert, let me rephrase this...
The Netanyahu regime set up a computer to give them a random list of people that seemed like they would sound plausible in a list of Hamas members, then listed their addresses as targets, to use that as a pretense to carpet bomb civilian populated areas.

wtf that's bizarre.

HuffPo got their hands on a private cable from the US Agency for International Development to the White House National Security Council today.
It warns the spread of hunger & malnutrition in Gaza amid the US-backed Israeli offensive is “unprecedented in modern history,” famine is likely already occurring in parts of the Gaza Strip, & the pace of hunger-related deaths will “accelerate in the weeks ahead.”
The dire internal analysis represents a shift from USAID’s last public comment on the matter, on March 18, which called famine “imminent.” https://www.huffpost.com/entry/gaza-collapse-famine_n_660c96aae4b0328a72be47f5
‘Famine’ with a capital ‘F’ is a scientific classification based on standards, evidence, & technical consensus among experts

The abusive behavior that was being used to manipulate Lasse Collin into bringing on more maintainers for #xz went unnoticed because abusive behavior in Open Source Communities is so pervasive. In context, we can clearly see it was part of an orchestrated operation. Out of context, it looks like just another asshole complaining about stuff they have no right to complain about. https://robmensching.com/blog/posts/2024/03/30/a-microcosm-of-the-interactions-in-open-source-projects/
The books may not have the same impressive-but-unlikely scenes as the streaming video version. :)

Florida’s Supreme Court just threw a major wrench into the election, and Democrats are fired up. Rulings yesterday put the whole state into play over the question of abortion, threatening the GOP’s path to a senate majority and even the White House. https://open.substack.com/pub/statuskuo/p/florida-just-upended-the-election?r=1zr8b&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

People used to think an encrypted web was impossible. But billions of HTTPS certificates later—and with help from EFF's Certbot!—it's a different story. Support fearless public interest technology today. https://supporters.eff.org/donate/support-work-on-certbot--s
In this particular scene, a syzygy of three suns in the sky causes people to be suddenly pulled upward, and they are like hanging onto flagpoles and buildings and things to avoid rising into the sky. I don't *think* that's physically plausible?
