We've created a society where being confidently wrong pays better than being cautiously right. Is it any wonder we're drowning in bullshit merchants?

The United States' three branches of government

1. The guy who does whatever he wants
2. The people too scared to stop him
3. The courts he openly ignores

Evening! Been doing other stuff today, but had an emoji related thought, and had to make it happen.

The possibilities are endless*

@davidgerard 48kHz is the metric sample rate, used by Napoleon. 44.1 is the Imperial sample rate, used by Queen Victoria and ultimately derived from the Roman sample rate of 400 hectoHz, used on Roman CDs ("CD" being 400 in Roman numerals).

There's a message in yesterday's UK Supreme Court decision about trans people, for everyone else.

For the far right people who are behind this, trans people are the wedge issue. They will not stop at us, and eventually you'll find yourselves where we are.

You'll know the Niemoller poem: "First they came for the socialists... ". In fact, at the start of 1933, first they came for the trans people, but he didn't know that.

If like him you say nothing, don't blame us when they come for you.

ICE are Trump's SS, aren't they.

If you are a British trans person, join a trade union. If they come for you in the workplace, you will need a big stick.

When it happened to me, I was very glad of my union membership.

Actually saw this meme go by on Boomer social media

Probably the last CVE indexed before it goes dark should be CVE-2025-DOGE (critical, local privilege escalation vulnerability that leads to malicious code execution and data exfiltration).

It's worth asking again who would benefit from taking CVE offline? Surely not the United States government, nor its private companies. Not its allies (such as they are now) in Europe. But it almost certainly would help our adversaries, like China and Russia, because confusion and uncertainty works to their advantage always.

I’ve said it before and I’m sure I’ll say it a thousand times more: If you love freedom but don’t care if it applies to everyone, what you actually love is privilege.

FWIW I think my favourite 360 view of the year remains the Skye bridge & lighthouse.

Right. Back to it.

I miss the olden days of photo albums, so each year I make a book of family, friend & travel photos. Currently sorting out 2024. Love the 360 camera but it does add time on to this process. Also I get distracted playing. In related news here's Eilean Donan castle in the Scottish Highlands.
