What was the line from Gorbachov in Chernobyl? "Our power comes from the perception of our power."

Maxim 29 of the 70 Maxims for Maximally Effective Mercenaries teaches us that my enemy's enemy is my enemy's enemy, nothing more, nothing less.

You'd be surprised at how much can be considered load-bearing on the internet - XKCD made this joke (xkcd.com/2347/) several years back, and it's spot on.

Take a look at this story for an example: qz.com/646467/how-o...

Cloudflare is basically comparable to any of the major cloud hosting providers, except they didn't make a name for themselves doing something else first. They offer lots of services from hosting to content distribution to traffic filtering to keep malicious traffic from taking down business' infra.

It's been clear for years that Zuck gives no shits about anything but increasing views. He'll poison the well he drinks from for better quarterly numbers

It's time to give up leadership to a Dem who will actually lead and fight for us and not cave at the promise that these beans are magic for real this time. Even the Baileys agree with me it's time for you to retire.

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

2016 vote for Browns to hire McDermott: Room 4, Haslam 1 Sean McDermott "won't go there" in rehashing his close call with the Browns job. The Browns wish they were where the Bills are with McDermott.

In Paul's defense, there's only so much you can do when ownership insists on ignoring your advice. Example: going into the 2016 rebuild, the top leadership held a vote on who to hire for the next HC. The vote was 4-1 in favor of Sean McDermott, DePodesta's choice.

Howdy partner, we don't fancy kings around these parts.

Sara Whitmer • • • 1h • 8 I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into scist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town. Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming. Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance. 75 12 comments

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

It helps if you realize that most things that are scandals to the GOP get turned into brands that are designed to evoke anger, and the people get conditioned to get angry when the topic is invoked. They never resolve the issue, just move to the next scandal brand, so the people stay angry.

Nah, her point isn't good here. Thune and Johnson are taking their marching orders from the White House who explicitly has a position of No Compromise With Democrats. This is a half-ass attempt to shift blame from where it belongs to where it is easy to place.

The boys are back in town.

Having rewatched it a few times since its release, Glass Onion's release brilliantly coincided with the Elon-buying-Twitter fiasco so well it elevated the movie from good to brilliant, but the brilliance isn't as strong removed from a moment in time like that.
