Since I recently started a new job, has gone through a round of cybersecurity training, and one of the points they made about how to spot a social engineering scam is the attempt to create a false sense of urgency.

Probably not relevant here though…

This is the kind of thing white supremacists have been doing to Emmett Till’s memorial for decades.

It’s wild to see them do this to a white woman who the entire world saw extrajudicially murdered.
Someone doused Renee Good’s Minneapolis memorial and a nearby pile of wood with gasoline and started a fire at about 9 p.m. Tuesday.

Damage was minimal but police are investigating.

RIP Tom Noonan, a friend for 18 years. Often typecast as villains, he was an actor's actor, a unique playwright & filmmaker, a gifted composer, and a pianist with a sweet voice. My kids & I used to go to his tiny apartment for dinner (pizza). We'd have a few drinks & he'd start to play. Magic.

Goddammit, this one hits hard.

Tom was such a sweet, kind soul, a singularly talented actor, writer and director, and a generous and lively interview.

He took me for a walk through a dodgy New York neighbourhood, saying it was safe because “the drug dealers are afraid of me.”
I'm not sure how much more of this I can take.

Tom Noonan was unlike any other actor. He made everything he was ever in more interesting to watch.

If you haven't seen his film, What Happened Was..., seek it out.

Reading ghost stories from a century ago a lot of them begin like "Seeing as I was beset by Nerves, my doctor prescribed I travel the Continent for three months" oh word yeah that does sound helpful. I didn't know that was an option

People talk about this stuff in terms of how much it'll suck for gaming and I hate to inform you how many MRI machines, X-Rays, all sorts of other vital machinery are just a Windows IoT Edition PC in a beige plastic box with a big magnet/accelerator/whatever attached.

The AI bubble RAM crisis is caused for non-existent problems by non-existent money for a non-existent infrastructure to meet non-existent demand to make non-existent business and will utterly destroy real business based on real demand and real infrastructure built with real money for real problems.
I understand framing the AI bubble RAM supply crisis in terms of stuff like video game consoles because nerds can conceptualize that but the framing does really undersell the sheer magnitude of how it's going to fuck up everything that even touches a computer.

Went to do someone's podcast (on a very regional, hyper specific topic) and they gave me two bottles of wine as a thank you gift. Podcasts are great! 😃👍🏼

This is happening because OpenAI - a company that does not have anything even approaching a viable business model and is setting money on fire - used borrowed money to advance buy all of the raw materials for RAM production so competitors couldn’t get it
this RAM crisis feels like it’s going to ruin consumer electronics over the next decade. Bloomberg reports that Sony is considering pushing the PS6 release to 2028 or even 2029 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The underrated howler in this is his use of “y’all”.
OTD in 2022 George Galloway released one of the absolute, all-time classics.

He has yet to delete it, show humility, or confirm/deny if this means he in fact being paid to act like an idiot, or if he just does it free.

Don't want to be too judgmental, by the way. I believe this is a young person who only recently started doing this.
Also, I am not familiar with the person who asked Guardiola about coaching fluidity but the longer the question went, the cringier the situation became.

No shots but someone needs to teach tacticos how to express themselves in a clear, concise manner.
