To date, the basic template for this cybercrime has been to claim people’s accounts have been hacked, with the criminals saying they have video proof — usually via webcam — of a person watching sexual content. The criminals demand immediate payment in bitcoin — which gives the extortionist anonymity — or they will release the video to the public.
Go ahead. I’m not ashamed.

If only someone had invented a dark polymer backed by an adhesive we could put over our electronic devices’ cameras. We could call it, I don’t know, electrical tape or some shit.
If you use the second one, don’t smear the shit enough to lose the opacity.
No, not actual shit. We’re just calling electrical tape “some shit”, cause it’s not heatshrink. I assume.
Rebel Scum outed.
Hasn’t deepfake pretty much rendered photo and video evidence moot?
I’m with you. Pretty much everyone watches porn, unless you are watching underage stuff, who cares?
*looks through Florida Man’s collection for Tracy Lords tapes*
Tapes? Ok boomer. The scariest thing is people putting child porn on your computer and then extorting you. I’m not a computer person so I don’t know how you prove you didn’t do it.
The Black Mirror episode where extortionists were terrorizing people who had watched underage porn online was extremely frightening. One of that show’s best episodes, but totally unsettling.
I’ll look for it.
SEA SUCK! SPACE IS SUPREME!

All those pretty whale songs? They all just mean ME RAPE YOU NOW!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiUkRYgGUW4
You’d think that people would have had enough of pretty whale songs,
I look around me and I see it isn’t so
I’m not enthralled by the sound of whale song, it’s the possibility of someday translating it and opening up trade with whales.

I know I should feel bad but I don’t.
Good grief, the monsoons have arrived. I guess they’re going to have to replace the road down by the bridge over the creek, again, like every year during the monsoons.
Fucking loved monsoons when I lived in Pheonix. If they one everyday, it would have been great.

Never. Apologize.
Oklahoma State head football coach Mike Gundy was pictured last week wearing a T-shirt with the logo of conservative news outlet One America News Network. Even though Gundy apologized, the Left is still coming after him. People are now accusing the college football coach of using racial slurs 30 years ago – in 1989.
Remember, the Left is trying to destroy him because he wore a T-shirt – a T-shirt – with the logo of a news network on it. …
“I had a great meeting with our team today. Our players expressed their feelings as individuals and as team members,” Gundy said. “They helped me see through their eyes how the t-shirt effected their hearts. Once I learned how that network felt about Black Lives Matter, I was disgusted and knew it was completely unacceptable to me.”
OAN has been critical of the Black Lives Matter movement and its tactics, as have many people. But in today’s political climate, even wearing a T-shirt that doesn’t conform to the mob’s demands is enough to make somebody a pariah.
Even though Gundy apologized, the Left won’t give up. An old rival of Gundy’s – who played football at Colorado University when Gundy played at Oklahoma State – went to The Washington Post (an outlet that just got a random woman fired for an insensitive Halloween costume worn back in 2018) to claim that back in 1989, Gundy used the n-word toward him and other CU players. The issue was addressed in a news article back in 1989 and Gundy denied using the word then.
“It’s not true,” he said. “They were doing the talking. Why would I say those things? I’ve been here four years, and half my friends [on the team] are black. It makes no sense.” Gundy at the time also pointed out that CU had off-the-field issues that had been reported in Sports Illustrated, suggesting reporters refer to the article for a character reference.
Naggers?
They helped me see through their eyes how the t-shirt effected their hearts
Please tell me, because I’m dying to know as well.
This makes my blood boil. Here is a coach who’s done plenty for the university and the town.
He was mercilessly taunted years back when he challenged reporters for being overly critical of players. That incident has been cited by students and parents as one reason they wanted to go to OSU: they knew the coach cares.
Painting mike Gundy as a racist is absurd.
Why is Chris McCandless referred to as an ‘adventurer’, instead of a ‘hapless idiot?’
“Adventurer” used to be a term for “con artist.”
Technically, female con artist. 😉
That is adventuress, like Irene Adler.
You’re right, of course. And Irene Adler was exactly who I was thinking of.
On that veep like Biden on Rice.
Rice said, “I think it’s important to reflect on what Senator Klobuchar said. First of all, she ran an impressive campaign. I have great respect for her. What she said last night was extraordinarily gracious, and I think perceptive about the mood of the country. She also emphasized the importance of the role she has to play right now in helping be part of the healing in Minnesota. But what’s important about what Senator Klobuchar said and did is that she made clear that this election and whoever Joe Biden chooses among many very talented candidates, is about getting Joe Biden in the White House. Somebody who can heal and unify the nation and remove Donald Trump and consign him and those who supported him in the Senate to the trash heap of history. We need each of those who have been considered or present or in the past to put all of our efforts, regardless of who he chooses, into helping get Joe Biden elected. and Amy Klobuchar reinforced that that was her priority last night, and I admire that enormously, and that’s my view as well.”
Ah, deplorables. I see, that worked out so well last time.
Stacey Abrams. Do it. Please. For the lulz.
White Squaw will scalp her and blame it on white supremacy.
And the dems will cheer and the media will spin it to death.
In a cage match, my money goes on Abrams.
But there won’t be any cage matches. Warren will get the VP spot, just like decided months ago.
The Dem VP spot is the lead spot. Get ready to enjoy one of the most shrill women on the face of the planet if Trump doesn’t step up his game.
Is that the best they have to offer? A senile basket case and a shrill harpy?
“Is that the best they have to offer? A senile basket case and a shrill harpy?”
Yes.
I’m not saying Trump is a strong offering either. Politics is a joke. *tries to laugh*
Consign me, $%%&#! Let’s see how that works out for you.
Juvenile Bluster, your article from the other day was fantastic. I hope you write more!

You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.
The party of peace.
Didn’t we have over 100,000 at some point? If they want to claim that a drop from 35K to 25K is wrong, why aren’t they advocating adding 75K instead?
We were well north of 150,000 soldiers in West Germany alone. 1 X Army HG, 2 X Corps, 4 X Divisions, 2 X Corps Spt Cmds, 2 X Div Forward Bdes, 1 X Berlin Bde, 2 X Armored Cavalry Regiments, 6 X Aviation and Artillery Bdes, 1 X ADA Bde, 1 X Pershing BDEs, 1 X SF Battalion, plus entire brigades of ash and trash. All of this (less the Berlin BDE) were in a landmass slightly smaller than Oregon.
These numbers don’t include anything units in Italy or Greece, any USAF (about another 80,000), or any NATO contributors like the British Army of the Rhine, The French Corps, the Bundeswehr etc.
West Germany was awash in military forces until after the Berlin Wall came down.
Yeah, the town I lived in in the mid-80s (Würzburg) had a base that has since closed.
Can’t he do it unilaterally as Commander-in-Chief?
Presidents can only alter immigration status for millions of people unilaterally. Military stuff isn’t really in his wheelhouse.
A gift for MoJo – there was a guy named Samuel Pepys. He was an English aristocrat in the 1600s and kept a diary of his numerous affairs. So if you want archaic sexual slang, he’s your man.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Pepys
***
Propriety did not prevent him from engaging in a number of extramarital liaisons with various women that were chronicled in his diary, often in some detail, and generally using a cocktail of languages (English, French, Spanish and Latin) when relating the intimate details. The most dramatic of these encounters was with Deborah Willet, a young woman engaged as a companion for Elisabeth Pepys. On 25 October 1668, Pepys was surprised by his wife as he embraced Deb Willet; he writes that his wife “coming up suddenly, did find me imbracing the girl con [with] my hand sub [under] su [her] coats; and endeed I was with my main [hand] in her cunny. I was at a wonderful loss upon it and the girl also….” Following this event, he was characteristically filled with remorse, but (equally characteristically) continued to pursue Willet after she had been dismissed from the Pepys household.[44] Pepys also had a habit of fondling the breasts of his maid Mary Mercer while she dressed him in the morning.[45]
***
His diary is probably on Project Gutenberg, but you made need to google translate for the spicier sections.
The Diary of Samual Pepys. Or, as it is know at used bookstores Pepys Diary.

Good God man, stay off GunBroker. Prices are insane right now.
Hey now. That’s like telling an alcoholic not to take that drink. I mean, how fair is that?
You go ahead and go shopping, Sean. It will make you feel better. Pour yourself a bourbon to sip whilst you peruse.

Get on the Zoom!!
My main client shut down most of the day today due to a major network upgrade. Apparently, all the traffic coming from outside with everyone working from home, overloaded some of the authentication servers.
Last thing I want to do is get on Zoom, I mean, like hell no. No work, no Zoom, hell yes!
I was on zoom for 6 hours today, mostly of my own doing. I may get on in a bit, but I’m rather zoomed out.

McCandless has been a polarizing figure since his story came to widespread public attention with the publication of Krakauer’s January 1993 Outside article.[25][33] While the author and many others have a sympathetic view of the young traveler,[41] others, particularly Alaskans, have expressed negative views about McCandless and those who romanticize his fate.[42]
Alaskan Park Ranger Peter Christian wrote:
When you consider McCandless from my perspective, you quickly see that what he did wasn’t even particularly daring, just stupid, tragic, and inconsiderate. First off, he spent very little time learning how to actually live in the wild. He arrived at the Stampede Trail without even a map of the area. If he [had] had a good map he could have walked out of his predicament […] Essentially, Chris McCandless committed suicide.[42]
***
Jon Krakauer is kind of an asshole, too.
Yeah, the book was self-indulgent crap.
And I preferred Boukreev’s book about the Everest disaster.
A writer who is an asshole? NO! I WON’T HAVE IT!
He wrote two very good books. That’s fun.
And he actually didn’t starve to death. He ate a bunch of some kind of berry which has a substance that inhibits your ability to injest protein. He had plenty of meat to eat but was unable to digest it.
Not quite Rabbit poisoning
After re-reading my own link I realize that it’s not as simple as I recall.
Which is what I had thought was the cause, but apparently no.
I wonder if that’s the ranger I spoke to about McCandless when I was at Denali. He was not a fan because of all the times they had to rescue the “pilgrims”.
Eh. Who cares?
Let them off themselves. Make it clear there will be no rescues and let them have at it.

the other German military unit with a skull as a logo
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Brunswickers
***
Most units of the corps wore black uniforms, leading to the “black” nicknames of the unit, though some light units (such as sharpshooters and uhlans) wore green uniforms. The Brunswickers wore silvered skull badges on their hats. Their title originated from Duke Frederick William, who claimed the Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg, which the French had abolished in order to incorporate its lands into the French satellite Kingdom of Westphalia. The Black Brunswickers earned themselves a fearsome reputation over the following decade, taking part in several significant battles including the pre-Waterloo engagement at Quatre Bras on 16 June 1815, where the Duke lost his life. However, recruiting, the replacement of casualties, and finance had always been problematic, and the corps was disbanded in the early 1820s.
The exploits of the Brunswickers caught the British Victorian public’s imagination: an example of this can be found in John Everett Millais’s painting The Black Brunswicker. Completed in 1860, the painting depicts a Brunswicker in his black uniform bidding goodbye to an unnamed woman.

All the potholes on my drive to work must have been fixed, all the sewage infrastructure problems must have been fixed, all the methadone clinic problems must have been fixed, all the homeless encampments must have been addressed. taxes have been lowered to reasonable levels…
My chief concern is that I get something in return for paying my taxes. The city failed to clear the streets of snow in a timely fashion this winter. My property taxes went up. The city sewer system still flows shit directly into Lake Superior after a hard rain. The streets still are full of potholes.

Or that song from that Battle of the Bulge movie with Telly Savalas as SGT Guffy.
You remember that color code terror alert warning thing? Yeah, here’s that for a few other countries:
***
The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent events in Syria and have therefore raised their security level from “Miffed” to “Peeved.” Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to “Irritated” or even “A Bit Cross.” The English have not been “A Bit Cross” since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from “Tiresome” to “A Bloody Nuisance.” The last time the British issued a “Bloody Nuisance” warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada.
The Scots have raised their threat level from “Pissed Off” to “Let’s get the Bastards.” They don’t have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.
The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from “Run” to “Hide.” The only two higher levels in France are “Collaborate” and “Surrender.” The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France ‘s white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country’s military capability.
Italy has increased the alert level from “Shout Loudly and Excitedly” to “Elaborate Military Posturing.” Two more levels remain: “Ineffective Combat Operations” and “Change Sides.”
The Germans have increased their alert state from “Disdainful Arrogance” to “Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs.” They also have two higher levels: “Invade a Neighbour” and “Lose.”
Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels .
The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.
Australia, meanwhile, has raised its security level from “No worries” to “She’ll be alright, Mate.” Two more escalation levels remain: “Crikey! I think we’ll need to cancel the barbie this weekend!” and “The barbie is cancelled.” So far no situation has ever warranted use of the last final escalation level.

Oh, damn it. I guess my hearing isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. I have a bit of hearing loss, which shouldn’t be a problem unless everyone starts speaking in the form of high-pitched beeping noises.
The singers in “The Battle of the Bulge” weren’t German speakers so they kept singing the first verse over and over. I didn’t notice that as a kid but it was highly pissed when I realized that after living in Germany.
The German Army has no official history before 1949 and the old songs are banned. The Austrian armored troops were still singing the Panzer Lied in the 1980’s.

Lusk is a high-plains town in the eastern part of the state of Wyoming. The town is the seat of Niobrara County.[6] The town was founded in July 1886, by Frank S. Lusk, a renowned Wyoming rancher, partner in the Western Live Stock Company, and stockholder in the Wyoming Central Railway. Cattle ranching remains the primary industry in the town of Lusk.
The population was 1,567 at the 2010 census. The town of Lusk is known for being the county seat of the least populated county in the least populated state in the US.[7]

“Mother Featherlegs” (died 1879) was a prostitute who lived near Lusk, Wyoming and was murdered during a robbery in 1879. She received her name because of the ruffled lace underwear that she favored. Her grave has been called the only monument in the United States to a prostitute.

RIP, you lovely lady
‘Her grave has been called the only monument in the United States to a prostitute.’

Etymologically, prostitution is relation to constitution and institution.
Prostitution means set up, as in for sale. Constitution means set up together.

WSJ: City mice moving to the country may regret it
As somebody who moved from an acre in the country to a tenth of an acre in the suburbs, I really hope they move to the country, get sick of it, move back en masse, and give me a dirt cheap opportunity to get a huge fucking house on 10 acres in the boonies.
I’ve already received my first citation from the city, and it has been less than two weeks. We’re gonna be here 3ish years, so I better get used to it.

Hey, Derpy – you might want to follow this site, named after St. Erma (PBUH – icon here in my hometown,) not just for the biennial writer’s workshop, which routinely sells out, but for their periodic humor writing competitions.

City folk moving to my neck of the woods – with septic tanks and leech fields and yard work and deer and hunting and so on – is always fun.
I just don’t get the impulse to do that. I know what I like and live there. Maybe if I was younger and stupider?
Stupid has nothi… *looks at front yard after several hours of spraying for moss* …uh, never mind.
You have to know what you want. I’ve done both.
And I’ll take suburban and rural any day over some drunk group of girls shouting at each other and throwing up in front of my apartment.
You don’t have to be that far outside the city to have a septic tank. We’ve got one, and one of the places my sister lived in MA (I forget whether it was on the west side or east side of Worcester) had a septic tank.
We have septic and a well. Better water and no utility bill.
BTW when I say “do that” I mean any radical change in either direction. At least try it out first before making a big mistake. But to not know yourself at a mature age before taking that kind of plunge just seems nuts to me.
My current had a septic system until the neighborhood was hooked up to the sewage system in the late 1970’s. The low spot in the yard I filled in with top soil and is my garden. One of my Samoan coconut palms found the old “black dirt” and is a frigging monster.
If any of you visit I will give you as many coconuts as you want. Please take them.

more fun language facts
Ancient Greek names usually mean something interesting. Plato means broad shoulders. Sophocles means the glory of wisdom. Socrates means the power of being whole. Aristotle means the best purpose (aristo telos). The name Phillip is a garbling of philo hippos – lover of horses. The aristo in aristocracy is related to that name.
Achilles means pain/sorrow of the people. The English word ache is related to it.

Hercules is a variant.

Perhaps I am being too cruel to say this, but here goes – people in Africa get run over all the time and most people don’t care, because in their view, only stupid people get run over. Human roadkill over there is a thing.
All these American gangbangers should spend a few weeks in Monrovia or Soweto, The gangsters there will cut your head off before you even know you’re bleeding.
I am not saying this because I want people to think Africa (the little part I know of) is a bad, dangerous place – it isn’t. But you need to use your brain early and often if you want to live there.

Curious how many places in Africa are in fact more dangerous than the worst Chicago neighborhoods.
Excellent point – there’s a reason why Ch-Iraq was a thing.
According to Wikipedia, Cape Town narrowly beats out St. Louis and Baltimore. And South and Central America dominate the ranks. I only see two other African entries, both in South Africa.
I read once that if Baltimore was a country, it would have the 4th highest murder rate on planet.
But hey, who cares? David Simon, creator of The Wire lives there and thinks everything is just tickety-boo.
I want a breakdown of homicides per Western tourist.

Pundit Wants to Reform Police… Right After They Grab All the Guns
I know I’m going to lose my black card but here goes: I could give two shits about Juneteenth. Not because I approve of slavery but because the usual suspects on my social media pages are being too extra and obnoxious about it. It’s like they are in a crusade to root out every racist and make white people prove that they aren’t racist.
I’m just tired of all of this because it’s getting old and ruining our chances to have a honest dialogue about our criminal justice system.
From my limited perspective via the internet it seems to me that it’s much more important to the left that they not squander this opportunity to social signal than it is to actually get something done.
I remember Juneteenth was a bit of a thing in Buffalo in the early 90s. I left Buffalo in ’96 and never heard of it again until a month ago.
I do not mean to be hurtful to you or anyone else. I found this video interesting: Black Murder is Normal

As you say, the real issue is criminal justice and also police brutality. There are just too many laws, cops, and jails. Save that stuff for the murderers and rapists. Otherwise let people have weapons so they can defend themselves. And for lesser criminals, fine them or hit them on the ass with a stick like they do in Singapore.
Things That Didn’t End Racism
Why The Past Matters ///TheCriticalDrinker
I’m subbed to that channel, but that video felt like the wrapup of a much longer video that he didn’t make.
Things nick was pissed off about this week:
1) 85 degrees F and 60% humidity in the test lab. Sweat was drippin’, yo.
2) Forced to wear a sub-optimal face mask by employer.
2) Language barrier between me and the 2 cute Chinese ladies representing my company’s owner.
3) Common sense knowledge barrier between me an my Chinese co-workers (they asked me to quantify the range and accuracy of my plumb bob, “well you see, gravity is a force that works towards the center of the earth…”)
4) I worked 14.25 hours on Thursdee, to get the test done. At least 3 of those hours were a waste of my time.
5) My boss (although he bought pizza for supper), never said “Thank you for going above and beyond”, even though I went above and beyond.
6) #2 daughter bought a piece of shit electric scooter on Amazon. For a few more dollars, she could have bought an older motorcycle that would take her 10X the distance for the same price.
7) My local governments continue to to dissatisfy me. Yet I continue to pay taxes.
they asked me to quantify the range and accuracy of my plumb bob
JFC.
If it was the cute Chinese ladies asking that, it may have been an euphemism.
No that was the Chinese version of the FAA asking that.
Book smart, yes, but ,farm-yard engineering, no. I doubt any of them has turned a wrench or a lathe.
Or hung a plumb bob.
You could have referred them to The Simpsons episode.
You should have swung the plumb bob around over your head and said “this is the range”
Plumb Bob? I barely know ‘im!
A plumb hole?
WTF is with SDNY US Attorneys refusing to leave office? Hang him from the lamppost along with the Preet the traitorous criminal.
He’s declared his office an autonomous zone.
Looks like he won’t vacate the office until a replacement is confirmed, which you know, seems reasonable not leaving a post vacant. But, in reality is about holding power because he doesn’t think confirmation will take place until after the election, and I’m sure he expects Trump will lose. A horse a piece, but I’m betting asshole over principal.
I’m sure there’s interim appointments or a deputy takes over. It’s Preet all over again and refusing to leave. Yet it’s Trump that won’t go. Progjection.
Gustave Lytton angriest?

I can really feel how out of touch I am when I read through that article and my reflexive thought was – I bet they’re going to throw that petty tyrant out of office next election. In the clown world we inhabit I just know he will act as if this never happened and everyone else will be cheering for the emperor’s new clothes.
A great tune from one of my favorite bands in one of my Top Ten movies played in a minor key. This killed me the first time I heard it. https://youtu.be/U7oQ93GZSxk Russell Banks is hit and miss but it’s a great book and the movie is better.
Bella is having seizures again, poor baby is dinged out and I can’t get her to a vet until Sunday unless I Want to drive 2 hours to Vegas, I hope it doesn’t come to that.

Sorry, friend. My namesake is going crazy for water. I know what that means but I don’t want to believe. Little shits are supposed to live forever.
She’s not doing well, I have to watch her, she’s running into walls, etc. I may have to leave for Vegas shortly, 2 hours one way, i hope she can hang on..
I’m sorry to read that Mr. Fustes. Thyroid? How old is the little bugger?
I’m sorry, Yufus. Give her a lot of fuss and hugs and keep her calm until help is on the way? I don’t know really what to do. Seeing those you care about suffer is something you’re no stranger to, but just be the best dog dad you can? #thoughtsandprayerstozardoz
Thanks JD, I don’t think Vegas would do anything except spend a lot of money for a prescription, So, we hang til Sunday, if this is fatal, I can’t do anything about it, if I can save her, I will..
I would go now. It will be expensive but LV is the fastest way to stabilize her. She might get brain damage from the repeated seizures. If it were later today I’d say hang on, but Sunday is too long to wait.
Festus: diabetes? thyroid? Is this the gray cat, or a dog?
Sorry about your pup. It’s a hard to watching anything go through a seizure, I can’t imagine how bad it is to watching something you love go through it.
