Riker sits in for a raucous “Love the One You’re With”

Seconding Sam Eagle. Though glory on Animal’s House would be funny.

The mark!!

Below you’ll find some other useful things, although they aren’t exactly related to ad-blocking:

• Browser extensions against annoyances:

  • Cookie popups: Consent-O-Matic
  • Captchas: Buster

• I’d also suggest SponsorBlock — it has saved me so much time. There’s also an option for TVs and streaming devices.

• If you’re on iOS, consider turning off Background App Refresh. Only a few apps use Background App Refresh as Apple designed it, the majority are simply abusing it to get more data about you. If you don’t have always-on VPN, you risk exposing your real IP.

• Patched apps are also a thing, and it’s also possible to patch mobile apps yourself via ReVanced. While it’s a decent option, it’s also a security risk — I’m careful with it and don’t use it with sensitive accounts.

I loved it. Fight me.

No puppet, no puppet, you’re the puppet

In a memo obtained by the non-profit news outlet Prism, DoJ official Tammie M. Gregg told prison auditors across the nation to “immediately pause” all “compliance determinations” for key safety rules concerning LGBTQI+ inmates, and advise prisons to “disregard” them.

Holy shit, Tammie M Gregg was former director of the National Prison Project for the ACLU. Goddamn.

Tammie M. Gregg was the Deputy Director for the ACLU’s National Prison Project. Tammie also led the ACLU’s Stop Solitary campaign. Tammie came to NPP from a long and distinguished career with the U.S. Department of Justice and other federal agencies. After beginning her career with law firms in Minneapolis and Washington, in 2000 she joined DOJ as a trial attorney in the Civil Rights Division. From 2003 to 2011 she was a senior attorney in the Special Litigation Section, where she worked on cases involving prisons, jails, and policing. She rose to the level of Principal Deputy Chief of the Section, where she provided day-to-day supervision to a staff of over 70 people.

What the actual goddamned fuck

15th National Indian Nations Conference - Opening Remarks - Tammie Gregg

To the self-described trans person all over these threads last year shitting on Harris: We Told You So.

Remember this when your in-group starts shitting on the midterm candidates and voting in general.

We just have to wait for him to accuse Biden of getting the treatment.

I thought it was a misshaped pig’s hoof.

But then it turned out to be just that.

Yesterday, Vox somehow managed to write an entire article about the history of Oracle and its founder Larry Ellison without mentioning the CIA even once. Which is pretty astounding, given the fact that Oracle takes its name from a 1977 CIA project codename. And that the CIA was Oracle’s first customer.

. . . [Oracle book author] Rosen tells of meeting with the folks at Oracle, one of whom was David Carney, formerly the number three person at the CIA. Carney had retired after 32 years there, and been hired at Oracle to head its Information Assurance Center, founded just two months after the September 11th attacks.

. . . As Ellison himself told Rosen proudly for The Naked Crowd, “The Oracle database is used to keep track of basically everything. The information about your banks, your checking balance, your savings balance, is stored in an Oracle database. Your airline reservation is stored in an Oracle database. What books you bought on Amazon is stored in an Oracle database. Your profile on Yahoo! is stored in an Oracle database.”

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that Vox didn’t highlight Oracle’s CIA origins or its never-ending relationship with governments at all levels. But writing an explainer about Oracle without mentioning the CIA or Ellison’s post-9/11 goals or national security infrastructure strikes me as simply bizarre.

Johnson told reporters Thursday that he had a “great talk” with Stefanik the night before.

“I called her and I said, ‘Why wouldn’t you just come to me, you know?’” Johnson said. “So we had some intense fellowship about that.”

Asked if she had apologized for calling him a liar, Johnson said, “Um, you ask Elise about that.”

[fellowship intensifies]

HE’S DEMENTED.

Yeah it got updated

“ties to anarchist ideology”. So - close!

TL;DR: they arrested someone.

That’s it. That’s the article.

How odd.
