Yeah the racist conspiracies happening now regarding non-white immigrants is basically just a rehash of the same racist conspiracies used as a pretext to illegally imprison Japanese Americans and steal their land in WWII. It's been awhile since I read about it so I don't remember if the strawberry fields were supposedly pointing at radar, or if they were "surrounding critical installations" or "staging grounds for invasion" or whatever, but basically capitalists wanted that land.

As weak as that pretext was it's still more coherent than, "data center opposition is due to Chinese paid protestors" or, "they're eating the cats and dogs." So we've even grown more stupid and lazy with our racist pretexts which is pretty damning.

When the government's lever was "interstate commerce" the Supreme Court ruled that growing your own grain to feed your own animals meant you wouldn't buy grain on the open market, therefore it affects the market, therefore it's interstate commerce, therefore they can control you growing your own grain on your own property to feed your own animals.

Now their pretext is "national security". Cars are national security. Soybeans are national security. Blowing up fishing boats is national security. Ballroom is national security. Japanese immigrant farmers are planting their strawberry field rows to point to radar installations, national security! National security!

It gets even funnier. Only two lawyers committed the malpractice, but they were working "pro hac" which means they aren't licensed in that court but have been granted temporary permission. This isn't uncommon, but it usually requires a sign off from an attorney that IS barred in that court. That's where the other two lawyers come in. You need local lawyers who can quickly show up to court.

In practice being that local lawyer is a pretty good gig, you're basically being paid to sign off on stuff and otherwise have no work to do. The catch is though, you are signing off. Your signature means you vouch for those fillings, even though realistically you aren't going to double check them because you assume your fellow pro hac attorney isn't committing malpractice.

So they just got totally fucked by their colleagues. It's incomprehensible because judges have clerks that check every assertion in a motion so there's no fucking way this would ever slide. The judge explains how they are fucked in the sanctions order. Oops.

Remember if you don't support the rapist nazi child-killer than you are directly responsible for Drumpf. Just like you didn't support Kamala because of her laugh and because she's a woman. Snape isn't perfect but I'd vote for him over Voldemort. Or maybe it's like Star Wars instead of some shit fucking kill me.

Actually one of my most favorite memories because the simplicity of the solution using recursion blew my little mind. It was like discovering a magic spell.

Back in the days where they used miniatures to do spaceships sometimes the vfx dept. would take model kits and glue the entire plastic sheet, sprues and all, to the miniature. You know, like this.

I invite you to look beyond the machinery of misinformation—an integral part of this aggression—and instead speak with those who have visited Iran. Observe the many accomplished Iranian immigrants... Do these realities align with the distortions you are being told about Iran and its people?

Sorry is there an Adrian Zenz-like figure I can ask instead?

Seriously though I admire that, despite all we've done to them, he still responds with a dignity that we certainly don't deserve. Of course we're totally deaf to this as a people, but I respect the gesture.

There's no way they want to eliminate bot traffic, it would kill 2/3rds of their traffic instantly. So this just means, "bots that aren't paying us."

Somebody here said something like, "Can't wait for libs to tell me I'm responsible for a Vance presidency because I refuse to vote for this ghoul." I think about that every time he opens his mouth. Can't wait for all the milquetoast liberal pushback against Newsom's despicable rhetoric to melt away into "Blue no matter who" the minute he is coronated by the plutocracy.

His health was so fucked it has its own wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_of_Charles_Darwin

You paid for something and never got it. Initiate chargeback with your bank. Amazon may close your account for this, but fuck them.

Prefacing by saying I'm a total noob to webdev.

I'm trying to move my personal portfolio site off of Squarespace and onto some sort of static hosting. Since I know nothing, I'm cobbling together hugo templates and using LightBox2 to show image galleries. The blog I'm referencing includes LightBox2 using this:

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.4.1/jquery.min.js" integrity="sha256-CSXorXvZcTkaix6Yvo6HppcZGetbYMGWSFlBw8HfCJo=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/lightbox2/2.11.1/js/lightbox.min.js" integrity="sha256-CtKylYan+AJuoH8jrMht1+1PMhMqrKnB8K5g012WN5I=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

I would prefer to not subject people viewing my page to any external tracking if I can avoid it. My page has zero tracking/analytics for this reason. I briefly tried downloading LightBox2 and directly including it instead, and was able to get it working mostly, but some things were broken that I would need to debug. Before I do that I was wondering, is this even a problem? Is including stuff from cloudflare cdn like this sketchy? It's possible I'm being overly paranoid but I have no idea.
