Neil got it right over twenty years ago, and his observation stands true today.
“We got 1,000 points of light, for the homeless man… We got a kinder, gentler machine gun hand.“

“But although risking arrest for defying the obligatory dress code, women are still widely seen unveiled in malls, restaurants, shops and streets around the country. Videos of unveiled women resisting the morality police have flooded social media.”
The mutherfuckers calling themselves “the Taliban,” these zealots and other Xtian splinter cults closer to home are about to run up against some seriously anti-religious cultural conundrums.
Noticed Last Year
I have a flair for stating the obvious: There was alot of hullabaloo surrounding Russia’Ukraine invasion last year. It wasn’t your typically expected Russian invasion, by any stretch. I surmised egregious intelligence failures myself, and now Russian sources themselves have confirmed my suspicions.
“U.S. intelligence appears to have penetrated nearly every Russian military body including the General Staff, the Defense Ministry and the GRU military intelligence agency, as well as the private mercenary group Wagner.”

Five killed, nine hurt in shooting at downtown Louisville bank.
JWST Update #23
I kept this page on an open Firefox tab through launch and deployment. It’s still a great place to start exploring NASA’s online Webb content.

Clarence Thomas
It was just a matter of time before the biggest Uncle Tom ever got called all the way out. We knew he was compromised after attempting to help Trump’s legal problems. Now we know the depth and extent of Thomas’ deceitful life. Ginni the Qanon Queen must be so proud.
Uncle Thomas’ vacation schedule.

Operation Cookie Monster
I read about the lead-up to this in a Wired™ article last year. Seems like Law Enforcement is making progress, but it’s hard to tell who is winning what Cyber War. Cyber analogies to meatspace are many and varied. The one I remember telling my Dad while home on a visit re-loading his borked laptop was: “Imagine the computer is like your cyber house. There are dozens of burglars waiting right outside for you to leave a window unlocked.”
Enter an email address you own and see how it was looking for you over recent years of malicious cyber activity…
Next Generation Space Heroes
Been a big fan ever since I was old enough to read. Now it’s time for a new generation to take the mantle.
Not Guilty
I almost puked seeing the first few snippets of his unhinged retaliatory speech.
Baltimore This Week
It was the homegrown catholic cocksuckers in Italy last week.
“The staggering pervasiveness of the abuse itself underscores the culpability of the Church hierarchy,” the report said. “The sheer number of abusers and victims, the depravity of the abusers’ conduct, and the frequency with which known abusers were given the opportunity to continue preying upon children are astonishing.”
These mutherfuckers operate using similar methods corrupt politicians employ bowing to Felonius Fuckwit and the like: Deny, delay, lie and steal. Fuck the church(es). Just fuck them to their Hell.
It’s so incredibly annoying to me how they push this abortion crap, anti-LGBTQ, etc. It filters out through all the white-supremacist-nazi-misogynist-racist-authoritarian sub-cults from there.
Building the Internet
It’s been almost a month since I started that new workstation build before coming back up on some new hardware. But it wasn’t what was pictured in that post. People at the local Amazon™ warehouse must hate me. I had at least two of everything here before sending most of it back while looking for the bad DIMM. Ended up being at least 3 bad DIMMs in 4 seperate packaged pairs before they were all returned after selecting a different model.
Never found them intermittently bad like that before. It helps to have at least a midrange mobo with post lights. There really is a 1st time for everything – especially with all the junk coming out of China these days. This was the 3rd mobo. I kinda liked the looks of the AsRock model before it better, but oh well…
This tech refresh basically involves what we used to call a forklift migration to Rocky Linux, with a new workstation now online and Onion3 coming…
Late Update: Latest replacement DIMM pair lasted 2 days before they quit. At least I can run it half populated. Longest PC build ever.
Fuck Rupert Murdoch to Hell and Back
That goes for the cast of talking-head clowns, as well. In fact ANYONE associated in any way with floating this deceitful excuse for a news program needs some civics lessons and restricted from social media until they can learn how to use it responsibly.
As a retired Air Force Master Sergeant who spent the best years of his life overseas defending this country at the tip of the spear, I take particular exception to the evolution of Fox News over the years. It is sooooooooooo disgustingly rotten and vile.
Trump lashes out, resorting to old tactics after arraignment hearing.

Combat Camera
You might assume taking pictures for a living is a pretty cush job. Probably is relatively so in many cases, but we bring photographers up the hard way in the Air Force. I got to work with the Combat Camera guys in Bosnia, and was ceaselessly impressed by them the whole time. Those guys along with the ones who did the actual jumping out of helicopters on nighttime roundups had it tough.
IMHO, the highest degree of difficulty in finding and arresting PWFWC’s (persons wanted for war crimes). was at the Combat Camera level. They literally flew around at night suspended in harnesses under stealthed Blackhawks recording IR evidence and intel stuff. That’s on my Top 10 list of Badass.
