This writer is an idiot. There’s no institutional segregation in schools. Which is the only thing the government can control. If people want to move, does she want the government to stop them in the name of “integration” or something?
Jeez,people. Check your bags. And don’t travel to shitholes where they’ll throw you in prison for stupid shit.
Well, no shit. Everybody paying attention could have told you this at least as far back as the 2020 Summer Of Love.

Biden sez Hamas needs to be preserved, used as a partner in peace:
https://www.timesofisrael.com/the-us-aims-to-wrap-up-gaza-war-how-does-that-square-with-its-goal-of-toppling-hamas/
In that case, exterminate Hamas.
Do you want Hamas to be able to invade Israel again and be able to rape, kidnap, and kill hundreds of Israeli women?
That’s the question any of the “pro-Palestine” candidates needs to be asked. Preferably over Hamas footage from October 7.
You underestimate the power of brainwashing. From what I hear the Oct. 7 attack was a false flag committed by the IDF.
—“If we can get a ceasefire, we can get something more enduring and then maybe end the conflict,” White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said this month.—
What needs to be said loudly and clearly—There was a cease fire on Oct. 6. If Hamas did not respect that cease fire (or any other for that matter), why would these idiots expect them to respect a new one. Fools.
The retard National Security Advisor was offering more ceasefire if Hamas would just release women, children, and the sick. Really, he left out male hostages as a precursor for a ceasefire. And as for American hostages, ‘the families know that Biden is doing everything he can to get them back’.
He went on and on trying to paint Gazans as some sort of innocent victims in between Hamas and those dastardly Israelis who are completely responsible for the safety of all “civilians”.
My favorite headline during the recent ceasefire talks were the ones loudly proclaiming “Hamas has agreed to terms for a ceasefire!” You had to read the story to hear the terms were agreed to by two other Middle Eastern countries, not Israel, who wouldn’t accept a ceasefire that didn’t immediately return all the hostages (personally, I would probably hold out for the return of all hostages and those involved in capturing and holding them).
The Gazan people are equally culpable for the situation in Gaza as HAMAS and their ilk. Things need to get much much worse for them before they decide that “Fuck it. Make this stop even if it means Israel survives as a state. I no longer care about that.” Then, and only* then, is there a chance for peace.
*The unstated option is Israel goes full Roman army on them.
“Biden has been wrong on every foreign policy decision in the last 40 years” leaps to mind.
Bob Gates.
He was right.
Of course he does. One more reason Biden and his ilk have to go. Like we needed another one…

If whites move out of a neighborhood, that is bad. If they move into a neighborhood, that is also bad.
With whites being so evil and oppressive you have to wonder why minorities would want them in their schools.

Am I odd for liking music on a song by song basis and not really knowing bands/artists/etc?
I would say yes. If I like a song, I’ll see who the band is, so I can check out their other stuff. Since they’ll have a similar sound, there’s a better than random chance that I’ll enjoy the rest of their catalog. Then if I know the influences (both the bands/artists that influenced them, and the bands/artists they influenced) I have more bands with even more songs that there’s a better than random chance I’ll enjoy.
There’s a reason that you’ll hear people complain about bad lineups/opening bands. It may not be that the opening band(s) aren’t good, but that they have no thematic, genre, or musical ties to the main act.
No. That’s not why you’re odd.

Harry Dunn, a 15-year veteran of the Capitol Police force, became one of the public faces of the officers who battled rioters seeking to keep President Donald Trump in power after he lost the 2020 election. He became a fixture on the cable news circuit, testified at a televised House Jan. 6 committee hearing and wrote a book about his life, “Standing My Ground.”
Dunn, a political newcomer, used his national platform to significantly outraise more than 20 other candidates, including Elfreth and four other state lawmakers.
…And in the end, voters chose the person with name recognition and a proven track record over the low-level bureaucrat with zero political experience. Maybe the guy should start off by running for city council or something.
Surprised he hasn’t come out on the talking head circuit with claims he was denied Democracy cause of Trump!
Oh, never mind he did.
They’re down with UDP… (hey, you know me!)
UDP is fine for certain applications, but overall TCP is superior. Change my mind.
I can’t — UDP is good for streaming, iirc — but TCP’s keep-alive and retry mechanisms make it more generally applicable. And I hate networking, so that’s the most you’ll get out of me!
QUIC gets you the streaming benefits of UDP with the reliability of TCP, which is nice.

“U.S. gun owners may want to take the Turks and Caicos Islands’ actions into account before risking a trip to the Caribbean jurisdiction,” the National Rifle Association said in a news release Monday. “Even U.S. gun owners confident in their ability to purge their luggage of any potential contraband may want to consider the wisdom of spending their money in a jurisdiction that would treat their countrymen in such a manner.”

Sadly, Aman* is off the list, barring a large change in fortunes.
Maybe not but I suspect she wants more bussing until the “correct” numbers of whites arrive to show the coloreds how it’s done.
Because people who live in a good district are fine with having their kids bussed to a shitty one. That was tried and it didn’t go over well.
The implication of white children make schools better is staggering – for anyone that can think about that for two seconds.
And here I thought that acting white was bad.
Acting white is bad, but white people in schools is good… So it’s not the content of the character that matters, it’s the color of their skin?
That rare ability to hold mutually exclusive thoughts in perfect juxtapose – no reconciliation, just obedience to both.
See, also, “pro-democracy” and “anti-populist”.
OK, so not really all that rare.
Welcome to NJ!
Heh – I give my car interior a thorough cleaning before driving back there. My wife found a .22 round in my change cup last week.

NJ, NY, or MA? Sure.
It took further court rulings, monitoring and enforcement to bring a short-lived era of integration to hundreds of school districts. For the students who took part in those desegregation programs, their life trajectory changed — the more years spent in integrated schools, the better Black children fared on measures like educational attainment, graduation rates, health, and earning potential, with no adverse effects on white children.
Were that the case, then white parents wouldn’t be voting with their feet, would they?
WSJ has a piece up by Jason Riley on this – how the Brown decision side-stepped rather than overturned Plessy and why it was a fraud to begin with.
If I were the judge in Brown, I would have ordered them to swap schools.
If they really were separate but equal, then which school their kids attend doesn’t matter, right?
Parents aren’t qualified to evaluate the effects on their children. Not only are they not experts, most of them don’t even have Ed degrees (unlike Dr. Jill!)
zOMG!!1!
Okay, which books? The author of this inflammatory piece doesn’t seem interested.

Now there’s a weasel word.
Why would “big prominent MAGA donors” be funding a leftist Democrat…?
A MAGA behind every blade of grass
Because they want to keep the black man down, of course.
Nth dimension chess!
And get money out of politics! (Except for the NGO’s that fund our campaigns, and the unions, and the tech companies… )
Because it was what Democrats did in funding Republican primaries with extremist candidates?
Biden is running on inevitability and “steadiness”.
GOP needs to point out that Harris is who will be president sometime in the next 4 years.
That should be a major turnoff.
And then Trump needs a reasonable running mate.
Steadiness? I’d like to see him hold his hand up for 10 seconds without it shaking.
It’ll be Gabbard, a nonnutcase sorta ‘90s Democrat (like Trump).
Yeah nah. “Only soldiers should have gunz!” is not something I can support. Ever.
Then again, I’m not voting for OMB unless he’s in prison.
Supposedly she’s walked that back but she’s only slightly more trustworthy than most pols. Beats the hell put of Tim Scott or The Dogslayer.
The Virginia Lt. Gov seems like an interesting counter-move assuming she hasn’t done anything stupid I’m not paying attention to.
Of course, like Condi Rice — she’ll just be labelled a race traitor immediately for being conservative, but that would happen anyway.
I’m not sure she’s eligible/native born.
You are correct – born in Jamaica
Then why aren’t woke white people also race traitors?
Hold on there Cochise!
You wanna be a white race traitor, you have to commit to mixing you precious genes with someone from a different race and raising those little hapa-haoles.
Letting white people who just have some contrarian ideas into the race traitor movement just dilutes our brand. Wait! Our brand is diluting stuff. Now I’m confused.
They are.
I’m sure she has walked it back, that doesn’t mean I believe her. But the main problem is the mindset that there are “special” Americans who have more rights than ordinary ones. That has nothing to do with any particular policy, but her core philosophy. And I don’t like it.
“The Dogslayer”
I’d vote for that, but only if on my ballot by that name.

Yeah, it was the breakers’ fault. Or perhaps they were doing what they were designed to do. Perhaps find out why they tripped?
By around 1:25 a.m., the Dali was six-tenths of a mile from the Key Bridge when electrical breakers that feed most of the vessel’s equipment and lighting unexpectedly tripped, the report said. The result was a blackout to all shipboard lighting and most equipment, it said.
https://www.wsj.com/us-news/ntsb-report-baltimore-key-bridge-collapse-cause-1c508cc8?st=phyooh216ktlf2h&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink

That’d interfere with their 3 hour appletini lunch time, Sensei…..
Which is why the final report won’t be out for at least two years.

Well, since the Turks & Caicos might be off everyone’s vacation plans, perhaps it’s helpful that Michelin (best known for their restaurant guide) now has a list of top hotels in the states.
The catch is, this is their first year rating hotels in the US, so for now they only list hotels in California, New York, Florida, and Colorado, plus the cities of Atlanta, Chicago, and Washington DC.
It’s kind of fun to peruse, in a Robin Leach sort of way (FWIW, I’ve stayed in three different one-key hotels on the list).

The probes that came with my oscilliscope are too bulky to clip on a single pin from an IC. What are the magic words to search for to find probes with a finer clip I can hook on IC legs to check signals there? (Ideally the ground clip would be the same, since I have no good ground plane, but I can figur out something if it’s still an alligator clip)
Use the keywords “hook and probe” and possibly “scope”.
I got a a good number of hits.
Thank you.
Mount the chip in a socket, solder leads with bare ends to the socket pins. No additional money spent. If you are using a proto board leave the socket legs long (don’t clip to fit yet) so it hovers over the board like a spider with your probe wires off the surface near the bottom of the socket. Ugly but free solution. Make sense?
So what you are saying is UCS is trying to weasel out of the hard work? He should stop looking for specialty tools, suck it up and solder on?
I’m using a custom PCB, and the socket legs are already soldered in at proper depth because I’m not a psycho.
There wouldn’t even be enough room to get under the sockets with the component spacing, because you can hook to the knees of the OC legs with the correct tool for the job.

Today’s pearl-clutching piece about school integration reminds me of this black pill (or nugget of wisdom, depending on your perspective).

The civil rights movement isn’t the problem. The problem is the grifters that use the civil rights movement as cover to loot the treasury.
contrarian take:
As s the civil rights movement went from equal treatment under the law/by the government to anti-discrimination laws and creating protected classes, it became a problem.
Yes – it was always flawed, an infringement on freedom of association, and an open door to government-approved discrimination.
Agreed, and I think most Leaders in the movement always had that ulterior motive. Everyone has been stupid or evil enough to go along with it up until the present. (Not that I expect anything to change)
Councilor Dean has it correct. When you have to mutate the law, nothing good will come of it.
Not the Server Squirrels! Nobody ever expects them.
“Whiter schools and districts have more resources, and that is wrong,” said Ary Amerikaner, a former Obama administration official and the founder of Brown’s Promise. “But it is a reality. And that undermines opportunity for students of color, and it undermines our future democracy.”
Aaaand done. Democracy means stealing the other guy’s stuff.
Democracy means stealing the other guy’s stuff.
It actually does. Which is why the founders didn’t like democracy, and preferred a constitutional republic.
There was a headline that crossed my feed a couple weeks back that was about “Debunking the Republican lies about the country”. The whole article was an argument that “Constitutional Republic” were code words that racists and bigots used, and that the Founders really wanted a Democratically elected leadership.
Yes. It always ends badly. The Founders knew their Greek history.
And yet, efforts to do what Florida has done, allowing any student to go to any school in the state regardless of where they live, are always fought against by Democrats.
Yet, when you look at spending per pupil, districts that get money flooded into them from the federal government top the list. And they aint white school districts.

I hope Orban has good bodyguards.

And yeah — any national leader bucking the globalism definitely should be watching their back in my opinion. And the foreign cash flows to their opponents.
Fico, eh? His policies must not score very high with some of the voters.
Whatevs. He was a credit to his country.
Given he was skeptical on Ukraine, he was a Putin puppet – also Russians must’ve shot him.
He also refused to obey the knew EU immigration suicide pact.
https://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2024-04-16/slovakia-will-not-implement-new-eu-migration-rules-says-pm
Fico is an asshole ex-commie who was probably mixed up with the mafia when I lived there. I wouldn’t be surprised if that came back to bite him.
I think the Ukes did it. I don’t think any Mafia would want that level of scrutiny, especially since he’d be so potentially useful.
Looks like someone just increased their Fico score by one.
I just came down here to say “yes,” but I saw upthread that several others had beaten me to it.
Look, if we give people a choice, they might choose something we don’t want.

Leaving a trail of sad family members, my youngest is on her way to Seattle. She’s passed through Swiss Territory, and is heading toward Jimbo Country.
::hug::
Roads go ever ever on,
Over rock and under tree,
By caves where never sun has shone,
By streams that never find the sea;
Over snow by winter sown,
And through the merry flowers of June,
Over grass and over stone,
And under mountains in the moon.
Want me to set up a road block?
Seriously, if she is taking 94, she will pass within a couple miles of my house and I’d be happy to buy her a snack/lunch something.
You’ve got my contact info (I think). Feel free to pass it on to her.
Thanks, you are one of the good ones. I’m not sure the exact route, but it looks like she is going more north to avoid a flood warning. I’ll let you know.
OK. 94 is the northern route to Seattle. I think it is 90 that goes through SoDak.

Why We Need “Degrowth”
Leading philosopher Kohei Saito defends the controversial idea of “degrowth communism.”
https://www.currentaffairs.org/2024/03/why-we-need-degrowth
Prof. Saito’s book has caught on in Japan because it is a powerful statement of an important and challenging set of ideas. Saito points out the ecologically and socially destructive tendencies of capitalism, and argues for an alternative way of structuring the economy and society that could leave us (and the planet) better off. He calls these ideas “degrowth communism.” Today he joins us to explain what he means, to respond to myths and challenges, and clear up misconceptions.
I’m going to stop you right there.
It’s a redundant term and no one should want to suffer that shit.
You will live like it was 1000 years ago and be happy.
About the only thing in there that made sense.
Repackaged terms are the worst
Could leave us better off…
For some definition of us that is probably true.
Nope. The idea that some can maintain the standard of today when the general prosperity is gone is about as thoughtful as believing that living like the King of France in the 16th century is superior to any life available today.
Yes, communism has definitely proved out to be not ecologically and socially destructive. 🙄
The degrowth thing, I think communism can help you with.

Does that make him more of a Putin stooge, or less?
Yeah, IIRC he’s leading a coalition of two social democratic parties and a rightist anti-establishment party.
The social democrats split up during his lat teem as PM because of how he responded to a journalist who was about to publish an exposé on corruption getting shot and killed.

“The country is more diverse than it ever has been, with students more exposed to classmates from different backgrounds. Still, around 4 out of 10 Black and Hispanic students attend schools where almost every one of their classmates is another student of color.”
Since most children are now” POCs “this number will only rise.
I keep stepping in the gas, but no matter what I do the car goes faster… Duh.
“students more exposed to classmates”
And people say government schools aren’t grooming operations.
“Hitler loved dogs. I wear this swastika pin to show everyone how much I love dogs, too. What else could it mean?”
Buddhist?
Hindu.

The classic, free-standing, dry, New England wall is just rocks the farmer pulled from his field piled up in a trench against one another.
It takes skill to do it right, but gravity does a lot of the work.
Today, people pay $100/ft in my area to have them built or restored.

is that a good price?
It’s a good price if you don’t want to do the work.
The price is not surprising. I wouldn’t say good.
Done by hand, that is brutal backbreaking work.
I’m sure the people paying for the wall are also buying the rocks.
The farmer was using rocks from his own field that he had to do something with.
Loser
Harry Dunn, a 15-year veteran of the Capitol Police force, became one of the public faces of the officers who battled rioters seeking to keep President Donald Trump in power after he lost the 2020 election. He became a fixture on the cable news circuit, testified at a televised House Jan. 6 committee hearing and wrote a book about his life, “Standing My Ground.”
Dunn, a political newcomer, used his national platform to significantly outraise more than 20 other candidates, including Elfreth and four other state lawmakers.
But the dynamics of the race shifted in the final weeks of the campaign as outside money poured in. United Democracy Project, or UDP, a super PAC tied to the powerful pro-Israel American Israel Public Affairs Committee spent more than $4 million to boost Elfreth. The bulk of that money was spent on TV ads in the Baltimore market.
Dunn aggressively pushed back against the outside spending.
“You look at the people that are funding UDP. There are a lot of big prominent MAGA donors, especially to Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Lauren Boebert and several others. … And those are just the facts,” Dunn said in an interview before Election Day. “I’ve been very outspoken about how I feel against the MAGA faction of the Republican Party, including their leader, and I don’t have any regrets.”
Maybe people just think you’re a fascist asshole.
Particularly in the party that has a home for the ACAB crowd.
Speaking of verboten symbology and deadly conjure words…
Björn Höcke, who leads the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party in the state of Thuringia, was on trial for saying the words “Everything for Germany!” at a May 2021 rally.
The slogan is associated with the SA stormtroopers, who played a key role in the Nazis’ rise to power.
Höcke – a former history teacher – had denied knowing the phrase’s roots.
The court in the eastern city of Halle convicted the 52-year-old of using symbols of a Nazi organisation and fined him €13,000 ($14,000; £11,200). DW News reports that the money will go to a grassroots anti-extremism programme.
However, Höcke escaped the maximum sentence of three years in prison and being barred from public office. He can appeal the verdict.
Hitler wore shoes. We should ban shoes.
Lemme guess… the various flavors of communism parties are perfectly free to spread their garbage.
Germany’s banning of anything remotely tied to He Who Shall Not Be Named is unbecoming for a supposed “democracy”.
the money will go to a grassroots anti-extremism programme
You know who else used the state to take possessions from disfavored persons and redistribute them?
Hitler only had one testicle.
We should…

Assault on knowledge
Texas universities eliminated or changed hundreds of jobs in recent months in response to one of the nation’s most sweeping bans on diversity programs on college campuses, school officials told lawmakers Tuesday.
In the fullest public accounting of the new Texas law to date, the head of the University of Texas system announced that its nine academic and five health campuses alone had cut 300 full- and part-time positions. Those campuses combined also did away with more than 600 programs related to diversity, equity and inclusion training.
“You may not like the law, but it is the law,” University of Texas Systems Chancellor James Milliken said.
Milliken was one of several chancellors who GOP state senators called to the Texas Capitol to testify on how campuses are complying with the law signed by Republican Gov. Greg Abbott last year. Texas is among about one-third of states across the nation that have taken steps to limit or prohibit DEI initiatives and practices.
How will the students learn anything, now that these vital educators and resources have been stripped away?
Way too many of the wokists are still there, just with new job titles, still spreading their toxin.
Seeks to injure? This was entirely self-inflicted! Journalists are so dumb.
Long-standing? BWAHAhahahahahaha
Goodbye, cruel world
Speaking with CNN’s Erin Burnett Tuesday evening, Blade spoke about the ongoing trial’s impact on his wife, saying he hopes Daniels can “move past” it after a verdict is reached.
“If Trump is found not guilty, I think there is, I mean, either way I don’t think it gets better for her,” Blade said. “I think if it’s not guilty, we got to decide what to do. Good chance that we’ll probably vacate this country.”
——-
“I know that we would like to get on with our lives, I know that she wants to move past this,” Blade told CNN. “We just want to do, what, I guess you would say, normal people get to do in some aspects.”
“But I don’t know if that ever will be, and it breaks my heart,” he added. “It breaks my heart some of the things she has to go through that people don’t realize.”
Maybe Joe will award her a Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Just two everyday people trying to stay out of the limelight and live normal lives.
That poor little innocent whore extortionist.
The news is full of stories about student protest tent ghettos are being disbanded after “negotiations”. The school years is over. Did anybody expect them to hang around all summer?
Well, a lot of them aren’t students, so . . . .
The “negotiation” should last a couple of minutes: “Well give you an hour to pack up your stuff and leave campus. If you don’t, you’ll be expelled. If you’re not a student, you’ll be arrested.”
