In 1987, 1990, 2006 and 2011 members under investigation by House Ethics resigned and the committee not only continued their work but (in all but 2011) released the report. Johnson's lack of respect for the institution is the real story here.

@cobalt I hope people figure out that school vouchers are a right wing project to destroy public schools because public schools are integrated and don't indoctrinate children into christianity. I don't want my taxes used for some wing nut's private school!

right now the only recognition you get for hacking a nintendo console is a CCC talk and a lawsuit, which is bullshit.

you should get a big trophy and a bunch of money, and any legal fees to tell Nintendo to piss off should also be paid.

fun fact: double-sided laserdisc players have a single ribbon cable that is used to let the read head flip upside down to read the top as well as the bottom.

the routing of that flex cable is fucking CRUCIAL

With this programs installation, the thread of prophecy is severed. Uninstall it now to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed world you have created.

Dobson fly don't make me cry
you can't hang around by the porch light
there are hellgramite girls who will rock your world
in the black and deep of the dark night

Dobson fly don't ask me why
summer weeks can't last forever
find your bitey bride
with wings so wide
and lay your eggs in the singing river.

I am trying to teach my cat that the word for "turn the heater on" is for her to go to her bed that is in front of the heater and meow at me, but she is convinced that the word is "latch into me with all her front claws and try to pull me towards the heater"

Facial Recognition is slowly
getting embedded in most systems in the name of security.

This needs to stop.

Not only it will not help, but it will definitely harm a lot of innocent people: Identity theft and doxing when the inevitable data breaches happen. False positives, which can be very high and even higher for people of color. Normalized discrimination for many.

We collectively need to
refuse each time facial recognition is requested, and we need to write to our public representatives to demand better legislation against it.

If we do not refuse to participate and
we do not fight for our privacy rights collectively, we will lose them.

There's 334 million people in the United States and we're all just peasants at the mercy of the whims of a few hundred billionaires.
