We grieve to inform you all that our blogbrother native, the artist Roger Schuyler Lake, shuffled off this mortal coil early last night, Thursday, December 14, 2017, in his sleep.
Your comments and good wishes, which he heard with great delight, were of great comfort to him, and we thank you for them and for remembering him with such respect and fondness.
There are some out there who say we'd be better off with a Billary presidency. I would like to compile a list of things that would have gone to shit regardless of who was president:
1. Net Neutrality Repeal
Some people don't think this would have happened under Billary, but considering Comcast and Verizon were among her largest bribe bundlers, they would have expected a huge return on investment had her pied-piper strategy played out as intended.
One of the first things President Trump did was pull out of the TPP.
So that's that, right? Not so fast.
Question: where can one reliably get a daily dose of hypocrisy? (comments about TOP are excluded)
Answer: (do I really have to answer this?)
Remember the 6'6" weasel lurking around the Hoover Building a few months ago? You know, the fellow who allowed FBI agent Peter Strzok to change wording in Comey's public pronouncement from "gross negligence" to ""reckless carelessness" (the latter not being a term recognized in the statutes)
Yeah, that guy.
Short video of Richard D. Wolff beginning a talk called "Global Capitalism What The Tax Reform Means To Us All [December 2017]" (from https://youtu.be/vE_qeBwvHwc), but first he announces that Jane Sanders will be a speaker at the Left Forum, June 1 - 3, and will be advising Bernie Sanders in his next presidential campaign.
How exactly you would classify Wikileaks can make all the difference in the world. So what happened in the UK’s information tribunal today is important.
I had to laugh when I ran across this. I’ve not seen any news on, or heard any discussion of the possibility or likelihood this lying, faithless, disgusting public parasite might have been doing the same thing she made certain the Clinton Creature able to do. But I sure as Hell am not surprised.
Btw, any news on her buddies, the Awan family? I wonder if they had a hand in this??
Was the Heated 2016 Democratic Primary Rigged for Debbie Wasserman Schultz?
To the average person, the Internet is just magic. They have no clue how it works or how you can mess with it. That ignorance makes it easier for TPTB to create boogeymen, like "Russian Hackers". But, techies, sometimes, are more interested in the facts instead of politics. Hence, this interesting story about the Mirai botnet in Wired Magazine (which I have called "Hacker of Fortune" since the day it was founded).
