When I was an editor at the Chicago Tribune, I would’ve been in trouble if I’d let my wife put a political bumper sticker on our car. But a Supreme Court justice’s home can fly a flag of insurrection and he’s still allowed to rule on whether the head insurrectionist has immunity.” https://open.substack.com/pub/heathercoxrichardson/p/may-17-2024?r=13f3k3&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

What happens when you mandate masks at a conference now that most people no longer wear them but medically vulnerable people are still at risk because #CovidIsNotOver? In the case of #PyConUS, the conference sells out.
Why a masking policy? “Many of us and our fellow community members can’t attend without health and safety guidelines in place. We want PyCon US to be an event that everyone feels safe attending,” organizers explained.

As someone who spent 40 yrs as a public servant I can attest to this being true. Just the other day I got told by my bestie that the military did right by me. I said “ I worked my ass off too” Her & her family don’t believe I worked hard but got everything handed to me.
The Telegraph headline on Palestinian refugees is in essence identical to how rightwing British tabloids wrote about Jewish refugees when Britain denied them safe refuge during the Holocaust.
These institutions are dedicated to White supremacy at all costs. They view us as disposable nonhumans.
Any PoC and/or Jew who thinks these people are on their side is wrong. They may temporarily pretend to not hate Jews or Ukrainians or whoever but that’s all it is: temporary.
Capitalism is the state enclosing a common resource, water, so private owners can serve the public literal shit water and still collect rents from the public like feudal lords while we grovel and say thanks for the sewage.
I fucking hate hate hate hate capitalism.

Heads up for people compiling #OpenBSD -current (as opposed to snapshots), remember to restart sshd after installing, or risk locking yourself out.
#OpenSSH sshd(8) has now been split up into two separate binaries, sshd and sshd-session, with more changes pending.
djm@ modified src/usr.bin/ssh/*: Start the process of splitting sshd into separate binaries. This step splits sshd into a listener and a session binary. More splits are planned.
After this changes, the listener binary will validate the configuration, load the hostkeys, listen on port 22 and manage MaxStartups only. All session handling will be performed by a new sshd session binary that the listener fork+execs.
This reduces the listener process to the minimum necessary and sets us up for future work on the sshd-session binary.
feedback/ok markus@ deraadt@
Also only on #OpenBSD, this new sshd-session binary gets relinked on boot, as with sshd.
deraadt@ modified src/usr.bin/ssh/sshd-session/Makefile: construct and install a relink-kit for sshd-session
ok djm
deraadt@ modified src/etc/rc: run the sshd-session link kit also
Democrats ask America's most corrupt Supreme Court justice, Clarence Thomas, if he would be kind enough, pretty please, to explain more about his corruption...
He is, of course, not explaining anything -- and daring anyone to do something about it.

If you encourage not voting for Biden, especially as if that is a noble and compassionate thing to do (like, bc he hasn't stopped the Gaza genocide), you are contributing to the death of democracy not just in the USA, but globally.
Grow the fuck up: you won't get what you want by taking your toys and stomping off the playground.
Black Lives Matter protests often pitted demonstrators against police in 2020 − but not in every city.
Protests in cities with police departments led by Black women tended to be peaceful.
