Why I'm fighting til the end.
But I know you'd leave me dying.
You say I need a real friend,
To keep me high and to pretend
That there's no use in trying.
I see a spirit in my sight
Telling me to stand and fight.
But there's nothing left to fight for.
So for all my dreams forever lost.
Never asking for a lot.
The wild will set me free ...
TO WIN A FIRST!

"Slam Frank, the critically acclaimed and provocative new musical that reimagines Anne Frank’s story “through an intersectional, multiethnic, genderqueer, Afro-Latin hip-hop lens,” will begin a limited engagement Off Broadway this September.
The musical, directed by Sam LaFrage, played to sold out houses during its developmental presentation at Asylum NYC. - lol - appropriate place
Inspired by a viral Twitter thread that asked, “Did Anne Frank ever acknowledge her white privilege?”, Slam Frank imagines what happens when a progressive community theater company decides to transform Anne Frank’s story into an intersectional, multiethnic, genderqueer, Afro-Latin hip-hop musical. Producers describe the musical as “part satire, part reckoning, all conversation-starter.”"

I think the total number of updates/patches for linux is about the same as Microsoft. But Microsoft's update program blows chunks since Windows 7 and has always been a resource hungry and ill behaved program that often just stops working on updates.
Linux, almost always runs updates in a sane and fast fashion. The only problem sometimes is usually related to outside repositories.
Never had issues with Apple updates either except when they no longer allow an update and security patches in order to force you to buy new hardware.

This cracks me up. Navarro truly is about as obtuse as they come. This is a fundamental "crossover" appearance for Vance's future presidential campaign. He's planting a seed in this interview. I suspect he's going to portray himself exactly opposite of how the media has tried to describe him giving the viewers of the View pause. It's not going to change many minds, but that's not the purpose. It's exposure out beyond Trump's coat tails.
I am surprised that the play callers for the Left didn't shut this down before the first press release.

But an anonymous source from Iran told CNN that Trump pinky promised to give them the state of Alabama in exchange for opening the strait.
That's definitely what Trump would do. I mean, after two months of him just giving Iran everything like $300 billion just to come to the negotiating table (which didn't happen), what else can we believe?

@trump_repost - 2h
The terms that Iran leaked out to the Fake News have NOTHING to do with the terms that were agreed to, in writing.
What they said, including their weak and pathetic statement on having a deal, bears no relation to the truth. Very dishonorable people to deal with. With them, there is no such thing as dealing in good faith.
AMAZING! Also, their totally rebuffed Drone attack last night against Indian Ships leaving the Hormuz Strait is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. They better get their act together, and FAST! President DONALD J. TRUMP

There is one year grace period for those on Windows 10 that either allowed online backup or paid $25 bucks or something. But, there is a company that installs security patches (not upgrades, etc.) for old windows versions that goes back to at least Windows 7. The problem there is that you have to either use unsupported unsafe browsers or something like Supermium or the Firefox analog. If you are still running 32 bit machines, you are now pretty much SOL unless you pick one of the dwindling number of Linux distros specifically for it.
I got a circa 2000 BX2 running Debian Trixie, barely, in order to remove data from a hard drive--windows 98 would no longer boot nor install. That was last summer and was the last Debian Linux 32 bit version.
As soon as the insane prices for new hardware go away, I will be building one that has enough umph to run containers and get rid of my history museum of computers that still run specific useful programs that I don't want to pay to upgrade.

Some people complain about some of the statements he makes at times, but I'll guarantee that every public statement he makes is vetted by Trump first.

Well I thought they were saying offensive to Christians since it was in the discussion about Disclosure Diary. It was only like two days ago. Eh I guess no one really reads the comments. It explains so much.

It's long been known by movie marketers that that's how you actually drum up interest in the wider audience.
You have to tell them what they're going to see.
The trailers that are really just vague teasers don't gin up nearly as much interest.
Zemeckis knew this in the 90s, which is why Cast Away's trailer goes all the way to the end.

To run Windows 11 comfortably, it takes a minimum of 16 gb and runs best at 32 gb or higher. To run Linux without containers, etc. it takes at least 8 gb, preferably 16 gb, and better yet at 32 gb and up.
You can run Windows 11 or most distros of Linux with less than 8 but it is a slow as molasses in winter and getting frisky with windows open, etc can crash the programs.
32 GB of ram in DDR5 runs anywhere from 400-600 right now. Solid State Storage Devices made from memory chips have also skyrocketed especially in the higher capacities. Which is also dragging up prices on really old spinning rust hard drive tech. It used to be shortages of video cards driving system prices because of crypto mining, now it is AI bullshit that is gobbling up resources for frontier models. Three big consumers--Gemini by Google, Open Ai, and Anthropic with Claude with Elon's xAi behind the leaders. In fact, Elon's Space X is making bank renting resources.

Mark Levin believes that Trump is treating Netanyahu disrespectfully by stopping the IDF from bombing Beiruit, and that Trump should be more receptive to Netanyahu's direction on middle east.
Personally I am mentally flipping a quarter to guess if Levin will come out with the "legal case for genocide" instead of just hinting at it.

I distinctly remember Putin making a statement after he stopped the color revolution in Kazakhstan, which he publicly pointed out was a western led color revolution, and took down the western funded bio lab that he was not going to allow that shit to continue in former Soviet countries.
Like Ukraine.

One could drive through an apartment unit and retrieve as many discarded Freon bottles as desired. Very useful as extra containment for air systems or a portable jug for odds and ends.
Buy a manifold system for it at Auto Parts, about $5.

He's trying to gin up headlines because Disclosure Day was tracking really badly. It cost about $120 million.
Thursday previews last night indicate a $35 million opening weekend is about what it'll get in the US. If it does decently overseas, it could crawl to the break even point by the end of a two month theatrical run, but it's doubtful.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer Films at June 12, 2026 12:55 PM (0OHXL)
From what I understand, the movie's premise isn't one that'll put butts in seats.
ie. The US gov't has hidden the existence of aliens but now the evidence will finally be revealed and everyone goes nuts.
Um...no. Various a-holes have been trying to reveal the "real" existence of aliens for decades. And for a while everybody was interested in the prospect, not scared, not losing their faith, just interested. But, now, I think they're just bored with the whole idea.
And anyway space is Big. If you froze yourself for a 1000 years and woke up.
Aliens still wouldn't be here.

It is a bubble and it will pop sooner or later. Basically all three of the main AI competitors are shoveling money on hardware into the furnace in order to be top dog. Google at least has an existing revenue stream from legacy systems, Open Ai and Anthropic are dueling to be the Google alternative with investor and borrowed cash--one of those companies is likely to crash and burn because neither are going much toward general AI but rather machine learning.
That requires more and more training data that simply is not there unless you start feeding your models AI slop which ends up making the models insane.
If you notice, Elon is being smart by keepin xAi behind the leaders and is actually making bank renting his older Colossus hardware to his competitors for billions per month. The insane needs for frontier model creations on shorter and shorter timelines is going to go bust in the next year or so.
Not enough power, not enough chips, not enough buildings, not enough water cooling, and the insane demands are pushing pricing on these resources up.

It was never a secret. US after the fall of the Soviet Union was afraid that scientists would migrate to China, Iraq, Iran, North Korea, etc. in the 90's so they created a make work employment program for biological and chemical warfare scientists in the former Soviet Republics. Like always, once such a program is created, it never goes away and eventually the CIA got deeply involved in a big way with it and the program expanded to places like China and Wuhan.
Knew some of the policy guys that originally set the program up as Sam Nunn and Richard Lugar were deeply involved in that. Same with retrieval of nuke stuff from those former Soviet Republics.
