Biden campaign joins Trump’s Truth Social platform
  • Not everyone who signed up for TS is on the Trump train especially anymore, a lot are, but many aren’t. I know 3 in my family alone that are getting annoyed with the whole MAGA movement but have accounts from before his indictments and have unfollowed the crazy ones they used to follow but still use it as it’s the path of least resistance for their social media.

  • Biden campaign joins Trump’s Truth Social platform
  • Gotta go where the people are. If they truely believe there are republicans that will vote for them because he is that alternative to the Trump they are tired of (an admittedly small amount), this is as good of a place to go to speak to them. The country right now is biased enough that the margins of swing are super small and if this can help attract those people it makes sense for a campaign like Biden who has maintained that there’s a subset of republicans that are non-MAGA and just want to get back to “normal”.

    The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern - $1.99

    The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is called Le Cirque des Rêves, and it is only open at night. But behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway: a duel between two young magicians, Celia and Marco, who have been trained since childhood expressly for this purpose by their mercurial instructors. Unbeknownst to them both, this is a game in which only one can be left standing. Despite the high stakes, Celia and Marco soon tumble headfirst into love, setting off a domino effect of dangerous consequences, and leaving the lives of everyone, from the performers to the patrons, hanging in the balance.

    The End of All Things by John Scalzi (Old Man’s War #6) - $2.99

    Humans expanded into space...only to find a universe populated with multiple alien species bent on their destruction. Thus was the Colonial Union formed, to help protect us from a hostile universe. The Colonial Union used the Earth and its excess population for colonists and soldiers. It was a good arrangement...for the Colonial Union. Then the Earth said: no more. Now the Colonial Union is living on borrowed time-a couple of decades at most, before the ranks of the Colonial Defense Forces are depleted and the struggling human colonies are vulnerable to the alien species who have been waiting for the first sign of weakness, to drive humanity to ruin. And there's another problem: A group, lurking in the darkness of space, playing human and alien against each other-and against their own kind -for their own unknown reasons. In this collapsing universe, CDF Lieutenant Harry Wilson and the Colonial Union diplomats he works with race against the clock to discover who is behind attacks on the Union and on alien races, to seek peace with a suspicious, angry Earth, and keep humanity's union intact...or else risk oblivion, and extinction-and the end of all things.

  • The Simpsons did an episode where a monorail salesman tries to sell Springfield on installing a monorail, and there’s a song somewhat evoking the 76 Trombones scene from the musical The Music Man by Meredith Wilson. Mine and other comments are lyrics from that song.

    Old Man’s War by John Scalzi (Old Man’s War #1) - $1.99

    John Perry did two things on his 75th birthday. First he visited his wife's grave. Then he joined the army. The good news is that humanity finally made it into interstellar space. The bad news is that planets fit to live on are scarce-and aliens willing to fight for them are common. The universe, it turns out, is a hostile place. So: we fight. To defend Earth (a target for our new enemies, should we let them get close enough) and to stake our own claim to planetary real estate. Far from Earth, the war has gone on for decades: brutal, bloody, unyielding. Earth itself is a backwater. The bulk of humanity's resources are in the hands of the Colonial Defense Force, which shields the home planet from too much knowledge of the situation. What's known to everybody is that when you reach retirement age, you can join the CDF. They don't want young people; they want people who carry the knowledge and skills of decades of living. You'll be taken off Earth and never allowed to return. You'll serve your time at the front. And if you survive, you'll be given a generous homestead stake of your own, on one of our hard-won colony planets. John Perry is taking that deal. He has only the vaguest idea what to expect. Because the actual fight, light-years from home, is far, far harder than he can imagine-and what he will become is far stranger.

    Pluralistic: Apple fucked us on right to repair (again) (Cory Doctorow)
  • I didn’t realize that so many other societies had solved theft of easily accessible and easily convertible items that contains gobs of sensitive and useful data that’s very easy to access with a little effort and preparation.

    Tell us please what society is free from this danger that we may all learn from their ways.

  • Pluralistic: Apple fucked us on right to repair (again) (Cory Doctorow)
  • I’m torn. While I highly support right to repair, I also support measures that make high-value theft targets like cellphones and catalytic converters worthless or extremely hard to convert to a payout.

    Anyone remember the brief time Radio Shack was handing :CueCats out like candy?

    I had a couple including one USB one that I later modified to use to scan regular bar codes.

    I pulled up Wikipedia to look up who created them, and apparently he changed his name after they failed. He was also on Curse of Oak Island searching for gold and was involved in ballot shenanigans in the 2020 US presidential election where he was notable for supposedly inventing a machine to find bamboo fibers on ballots.
