HAHAHAHA Oh fuck! Jeeeeeezus fuckin’ christ in a sleeper hold, your stylist is high as fuck, McMahon. Please stop destroying the country’s education system and go back to untelevised day drinking.

As a side note, that video report is on par with Tik Tok (it’s actually not as good) and the corporate news holes have never seemed more pathetic.

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

Yes except Trump is an incompetent mobster. He has no code, no plan, no loyalty, no allies, no nothing. He’s a paper mobster.

Because everything is absolute. Purity tests are exactly that. It's not pure. Therefore we rail against it.

Democrats? Ho ho! SO not pure. The Constitution? I laugh! Created by slave owners! Don't even get me started on our MAGA parents. The time of purification is at hand!

But we're not allowed to say that unless we face the horrifying charge of being boot lickers. And the fact that it's literally russia's playbook for destabilizing the country and installing a demented rapist puppet is insane conjecture. Nothing to see here. Squirrel!

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

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.

"Proving right-wing bloviating idiots wrong yet again" works better for me, Fortune. Try that one.

Straining ties with corrupt-as-fuck shitweasels.

Microsoft announced today that they're preserving a bit of history here - with Zork I, Zork II, and Zork III now officially and clearly open source. The source has been around for a while but now it's all proper.

From the announcement they said:

Today, we’re preserving a cornerstone of gaming history that is near and dear to our hearts. Together, Microsoft’s Open Source Programs Office (OSPO), Team Xbox, and Activision are making Zork I, Zork II, and Zork III available under the MIT License. Our goal is simple: to place historically important code in the hands of students, teachers, and developers so they can study it, learn from it, and, perhaps most importantly, play it.

 

The federal appeals court in Chicago signaled Wednesday it might narrow an historic order handed down earlier this month, which limited the use of force by federal agents amid the aggressive deportation campaign that swept the city this fall.

For now, a three-judge panel from the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals put the entire order on hold. The panel found the Nov. 6 preliminary injunction from U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis to be “overbroad.” But it also promised a quick appeal process.

The panel, made up of Judges Michael Brennan, Frank Easterbrook and Michael Scudder, set a briefing schedule that lasts through Dec. 8. Oral arguments have not been scheduled.

It’s the second time the 7th Circuit has intervened in the case before Ellis, brought by media organizations such as the Chicago Headline Club, Block Club Chicago and the Chicago Newspaper Guild, which represents journalists at the Chicago Sun-Times.

Two of the judges were appointed by Trump, one was appointed by Reagan.

“I hope college football doesn’t change, because the power of the kickoff is, we’re so beautiful, and now it, you know, I don’t want to say what it reminds me of, because I’ll get myself into big trouble,” Trump said. “It is not football, and I have no idea what you guys – you guys may disagree with me. I don’t think it’s going to help.”
