The uplifting part is how the news media will now stop breathlessly babbling about smoke and how a new pope hasn't been selected yet.

~~Tax~~ Eat the rich!

Here's the thing. Even if he lives up to this promise, it's still him deciding where that money should go, and it won't be towards long term support of social safety nets for the commoners. He should just have been paying his fair share of taxes all along and into the future.

Wales tells 404 Media that her husband, ~~Pelkey’s brother-in-law,~~ recoiled when she told him about the idea.

Edited to remove utterly extraneous information that added absolutely nothing of value or clarity to the sentence. This is her husband, the victim was her brother. We already know her husband is the victims brother -in-law. That's how that works.

That's not very typical.

My guess is that it’s a step towards banning anything considered “sexual” or “deviant.”

Which is just a step toward banning anything that doesn't "glorify our dear leader."

Religion is a control mechanism draped in fake moral superiority. People don't need to believe in fairy tales to distinguish right from wrong. The evidence of those that do believe in fairy tales and can't tell right from wrong is overwhelming.

ETA: In fact, I would argue that anyone that thinks they need some holy book or religious leader to tell them what's right and what's wrong has a serious problem.

You were the one that brought passengers into the conversation.

A brutal message to ~~Westerners who are~~ [Elon Musk, the only person] whining about Chinese dominance in electric cars, claiming it's ''unfair''

Summary

Bradley Bartell, a Trump supporter from Wisconsin, is considering moving to Peru after ICE detained his wife, Camila Muñoz, a Peruvian citizen with an expired visa.

Muñoz stayed in the U.S. during the pandemic while applying for a green card. ICE detained her after a trip to Puerto Rico.

Bartell, who remains supportive of Trump’s immigration stance, described the ordeal as emotionally taxing and is pursuing legal action for Muñoz’s release.

 

You don't have to "sign up". You can just scroll down a bit to the "Find A Protest Now" button, or click the direct link I provided above.

ETA, you don't even need a clever sign to hold up. Just being present is good enough.

 

If you want to understand the first few weeks of the second Trump administration, you should listen to what Steve Bannon told PBS’s “Frontline” in 2019:

Steve Bannon: The opposition party is the media. And the media can only, because they’re dumb and they’re lazy, they can only focus on one thing at a time. …

All we have to do is flood the zone. Every day we hit them with three things. They’ll bite on one, and we’ll get all of our stuff done. Bang, bang, bang. These guys will never — will never be able to recover. But we’ve got to start with muzzle velocity. So it’s got to start, and it’s got to hammer, and it’s got to —

Michael Kirk: What was the word?

Bannon: Muzzle velocity.

Muzzle velocity. Bannon’s insight here is real. Focus is the fundamental substance of democracy. It is particularly the substance of opposition. People largely learn of what the government is doing through the media — be it mainstream media or social media. If you overwhelm the media — if you give it too many places it needs to look, all at once, if you keep it moving from one thing to the next — no coherent opposition can emerge. It is hard to even think coherently.

Donald Trump’s first two weeks in the White House have followed Bannon’s strategy like a script. The flood is the point. The overwhelm is the point. The message wasn’t in any one executive order or announcement. It was in the cumulative effect of all of them. The sense that this is Trump’s country now. This is his government now. It follows his will. It does what he wants. If Trump tells the state to stop spending money, the money stops. If he says that birthright citizenship is over, it’s over.

Or so he wants you to think. In Trump’s first term, we were told: Don’t normalize him. In his second, the task is different: Don’t believe him.

Trump knows the power of marketing. If you make people believe something is true, you make it likelier that it becomes true. Trump clawed his way back to great wealth by playing a fearsome billionaire on TV; he remade himself as a winner by refusing to admit he had ever lost. The American presidency is a limited office. But Trump has never wanted to be president, at least not as defined in Article II of the U.S. Constitution. He has always wanted to be king. His plan this time is to first play king on TV. If we believe he is already king, we will be likelier to let him govern as a king.

I recently started using AutoBackup and every now and then, after it runs, zigbee2mqtt isn't running anymore and needs to be manually restarted. "Start on boot" and "Watchdog" are both enabled for z2m. Has anyone else experienced this?

I suppose I could add a step on to the backup automation to explicitly restart z2m, but I feel like that would just be a bandaid for a problem better fixed somewhere else. I just don't know where that might be.

 
 

Michael Saylor, co-founder and chairman of business intelligence firm MicroStrategy, has unveiled a comprehensive crypto framework aimed at further integrating Bitcoin and other digital assets into the US economy.

Once widely derided as a speculative asset with no intrinsic value, Bitcoin is being taken increasingly seriously by governments, financial institutions and investors alike.

 

A computer scientist has been found to have committed contempt of court for falsely and persistently claiming to be the mysterious inventor of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto.

In March, the High Court ruled Craig Wright was not Satoshi, and ordered him to stop claiming he was.

However, he continued to launch legal cases asserting he had intellectual property rights to Bitcoin, including a claim he was owed $1.2 trillion (£911 billion).

A judge said that amounted to a "flagrant breach" of the original court order and sentenced him to 12 months in prison, suspended for two years.
