Invention idea for an anti-paparazzi jacket that is covered in QR codes so that, whenever anybody tries to photograph you, it keeps trying to pull up the Applebee's menu.

To be clear, Republicans never censured George Santos who is under criminal indictment or KKK Paul Gosar who makes death threats or pervert Matt Gaetz or any GQPer who played a role in sedition, but they censured Congressman Adam Schiff because they hate his delivery of truth. ~Ricky Davila.

Kenya is among a number of African states reportedly looking to introduce sweeping anti-homosexuality laws, with politician Mohamed Ali saying he wanted to “kick LGBT people out of Kenya completely”.

I've been a PayPal user for 20 years. It used to be that cash transfers from you bank account into PayPal were instant. This made sense because ACH transfers are instant. But nowadays, the ACH transfer takes place immediately but PayPal holds onto the cash for two weeks before releasing it into your account.

Doing this with checks is a crime called check kiting. This allows the recipient to make use of the time-value of money for free, without paying interest. But it's legal in this setting simply because there's no law against it.

I love it. Russia's prospects just got worse thanks to a Pentagon accounting error that results in a $6 billion defense boost for Ukraine.

I though I’d learn #Morse code and #AVR programming at the same time. I started with an ATmega48P gating a 555 generating a tone. But that’s boring. So, I extended my code to generate #MIDI messages toggling D#6 on and off. #hamradio #electronics (This was originally posted July 24, 2022 on my now-defunct twitter account.)

The USSR sprinkled more than 2,500 RTGs (small highly-radioactive generators) across the Arctic and in remote mountain locations. They are unsupervised and unmaintained, stolen and scrapped by metal dealers who sometimes die of radiation poisoning.

This is the exposé I wrote for The Guardian that killed off “Reverend” Pat Robertson’s billion-dollar financial scams parading under the banner of The Christian Coalition.

Note: The juiciest parts I got from Robertson himself, recorded on a miniature tape recorder hidden inside a fake cigarette lighter. No one asked why I had a lighter — but no cigarettes. The story won The Guardian a nomination for Britain’s Business Story of the Year.
