Top Story

The US and 60 other countries today announced A Declaration for the Future of the Internet and it is bilge. (Access Now)

You can read the full document here (PDF) though it's a waste of your time.

The First Amendment is just 45 words, was written 230 years ago, and covers much more than this useless Declaration.
Of course, the US government just ignores the First Amendment when it is inconvenient. (Law Enforcement Today)

The new Disinformation Governance Board - part of the DHS, which has absolutely no authority to do this - is intended to address the number one threat facing the world today: Reality.

Tech News

Synology. (Bleeping Computer)

Not QNAP for once.
The EU set up a Mastodon node. (PC Magazine)

Congratulations Europe! There's no limit to what 450 million idiots can do if they put their minds to it.

Maybe next year you could start a blog.
Weibo is going to attach your location to the comments you post. (Asia Financial)

You can expect the people behind the Declaration and the Disinformation Board to jump on this right away.
Qualcomm is promising to release new Arm-based laptop chips that don't suck - next year. (Ars Technica)

These are intended to compete with Apple's M1 chips from 2020.
Amazon's latest quarterly results are in and they made a loss of $3.8 billion. (Thurrott.com)

Probably on the free shipping on all the boxes they've been sending me.
Samsung's 3nm process is scheduled to start mass production in Q2. (Tom's Hardware)

Judging from the specs it is not a much denser process than TSMC's 5nm, but should be faster and use less power.

Nina Jacfoffiwitz, our new Minister-ette of Truth wrote a book about womyns online on the Internet. She said the being a woman online is an inherently dangerous act.

I relayed that to Miley, my Duchess here. She thought, and said, you know getting hooked up with you had to the most dangerous thing in the world. I mean, she drove down here, sight unseen to be mine, and here she is, home and loved. An inherently dangerous act that paid off.

On the simulation thing:
There was an episode of Star Trek where Kirk and some crew members visited a strange planet and wandered about. If they thought of some person, that person would magically appear in person right before them.

I had something nearly exactly like that happen on Good Friday. A person I had been researching during the pandemic suddenly appeared out of nowhere and walked right past me. If my wife hadn't seen and thought the same thing, knew her face and height I would think I had lost my mind. I think the universe likes to fvck with us once in a while.

Nina Jacfoffawitz as Tucker noted was formerly a fellow at some Wilson Center for Some Shit, which was aptly named after our first mentally incapacitated war mongering bigot president, Woodrow Wilson.

The parallels are quite ominous. You've heard the phrase "Shouting fire in a crowded theater" as a limit to free speech. That never was any standard, just a colorful turn of a phrase by Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendall Holmes, Jr. He was also a mentally incapacitated bigot held as some sort of Big Fucking Deal by some idiots/

Woodrow Wilson got us into WWI, after promising he wouldn't. Some people were mad about that, and began anti-war demonstrations and speech. Woodrow didn't like that, and had them arrested.

The fire in the crowded theater ruling upheld that shit. Oliver Wendall Holmes, Jr, overated POS, compared opposition to the war, and the draft, to falsely shouting fire in the crowded theater.

That was one of three of his trifecta of shit rulings. The other two were forced sterilization of "mental defectives", of which he wrote, "three generations of idiots is enough". The third was the anti-trust baseball exception, where he stated that baseball was not interstate commerce.

The "fire in the theater" decision has long been since overturned, thank God.

Oliver Wendall Holmes, Sr, was a poet, physician, and polymath. One of his famous poems was the "The Wonderful One-Hoss Shay, or the Deacon's Masterpiece".

It was about a deacon who designed the perfect carriage. He reasoned that everything such thing had a weak link, some part that failed before the rest. So he endeavored to create something where every part was as good as the rest, and nothing would fail first.

The one-hoss shay lasted for over 100 years. Then, all of the sudden, everything failed at once, and it collapsed into dust, all at once.

His son should have stuck to poetry.

Provide the statute allowing DHS to create the Disinformation Board, appoint board members, and assign or hire staff.
How does DHS define “misinformation”?
What does DHS consider to be “irregular migration”?
What does DHS consider to be misinformation about irregular migration?

The "one-hoss shay" is an economics model for a type of step function depreciation, I'm reading about it.

It's something that has the same value over time until it collapses to zero, all at once.

"Shay" comes for chaise, which in French means "chair'.

A chair is something used an approximation to that step function depreciation model. A light bulb is another. It burns for a period of time, then boom, blows out, and is worthless.

Nina Jacfoffawitz as Tucker noted was formerly a fellow at some Wilson Center for Some Shit, which was aptly named after our first mentally incapacitated war mongering bigot president, Woodrow Wilson.

The parallels are quite ominous. You've heard the phrase "Shouting fire in a crowded theater" as a limit to free speech. That never was any standard, just a colorful turn of a phrase by Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendall Holmes, Jr. He was also a mentally incapacitated bigot held as some sort of Big Fucking Deal by some idiots/

A stereotype in movies. Like in horror movies the black guy always dies, or people hear/see shit yet stay in the house. Etc.

Travertine marble from Italy is more likely, many freighters of it. They don't care about the cost and then the EPA can list more carbon 'damage'. Win!

Yes, double carbon offsets somehow as marble is calcium carbonate (when heated it gives off CO2 and leaves behind quicklime).

212 So Senator Johnson has written a letter to Sec. Mayorkas demanding answers on our new overnight toadstool-of-terror Ministry of Truth. Was it a sternly-worded letter? I trust it was a very sternly worded. And other senators have harrumphed in stern-worded fashion.

And when the responses come back as lies or when there are no responses at all? Then what?

This abomination is a direct assault on the lodestar of our Constitution and anything short of call for the resignation of the Secretary, the dissolution of the Department, the impeachment of the President for violating his oath of office and an historic crisis of abuse in our government is just another limpdick-loser futile flailing of our bottomlessly pathetic GOP.
