From the BBC article: Trump's spokesman calls it "election interference by Hollywood elites".
So - people airing their opinions about Donald Trump, whether via a fictionalized movie or anything else, is now "election interference?" I guess I better get out and do some interferring!
Sang this with the lovely and talented B at open mic/karaoke last night. She wasn't familiar with the lounge version, but lurves some Soundgarden. Much musical, very chill.
I'd chide them for buying a plush white carpet that matched their cat, but our black cat does a similar trick on my husband's black leather chair. So I really can't.
Upshot, he has taught husband the value of looking before he sits.
Oh my God, that was the worst night of sleep I’ve had in a while. Weird dreams too, including a dream where Trump made an appearance. I’ve forgotten what actually happened though. Or blocked it out.
They said Jefferson Starship. Thankfully, by the time they recorded that schlock they'd already dropped the Jefferson, so we can pretend it wasn't the same band...
To do my job, in part, I need to print things out and once in a while put things on removable media for reasons and things. This is a true thing and not something that can be avoided even in this digital cloud day and age.
However, because we are now in a digital cloud day and age, the current push- for security- is to allow like none of that shit.
Even though it is part of my job, that they hired me to do, and pay me to complete.
So we do work arounds, until they tighten up that bit (mostly by just blanket disallowing everything) and we're not the only ones going out of our head as the LAW tells us we must do X and the Company is all like hell know you can't do that, because security. But the LAW! We all say.
So instead of like, allowing just people who neeeed to do this thing the ability to do it, they offer us a special drop box where we can send stuff, to ourselves, in order to get it where it needs to go (mostly by transferring to a not hooked up computer) but the bait and switch is that you have to encrypt it all, which the not hooked up computer- guess what- can't unencrypt. So now there are more work around steps. It took me about 3 hours to move 1 file yesterday fer example.
All of this instead of just giving us permission to use the thing that would take about 1 minute to complete this task.
I have decided that we're all part of a vast psychological experiment to see how much hair pulling we are willing to do before throwing things.
For a while when I was the children’s court attorney I would be sent the reports from which I had a very limited period of time to make a decision whether to file a case on a kid, but those were so encrypted that I couldn’t access them.
It is so maddening, but at the same time, I never have to worry about getting bored as I try to figure out yet another work around for all the work arounds to get around the work arounds
Though what I do not get is all these hoops and workarounds we have to do seem to be a lot less secure than "just letting us do what we need to do" in the first place.
We have our own, but like I said, we have to, by law, encrypt it. Even though we are sending it to ourselves.
I DID discover yesterday that if I go back in as myself as the sender (as opposed to following the recipient link) and look at the files, I can snag them that way, but that is 5 more steps to be able to do that on the not hooked up computer, because it is not hooked up.
Still, was a valuable thing to learn. Now if only I can get it to actually transfer before timing out
That's a big fucking mess, and clearly not everyone in charge knows what they're fucking doing.
My students use, among other things, a site called Brainly to cheat on schoolwork. When I've tried to go to that site to check if a thing was plagiarized or not, it's blocked on my work computer. They've successfully blocked the site for teachers, but not for students.
There's nothing they can't access with proxy servers. I was showing a video to ESL students about Duolingo. Didn't download it, because it's educational, right? When I went to play it, it was blocked. And of course it was after hours.
Apparently some folk have, in recent years, used such devices to sell or hand out information to the world, mighta heard about it on the news, but the response to it has been "fine, then NO ONE gets to have them!"
I can't even hook up my not even a little bit internet connected camera (remember those?) to my computer to transfer the photos that law- and my contract- says I have to provide and transfer.
lol right now we can't even print XD They bought us a new printer, but some security glitch is making it print out only in....encrypted code.
Which is a big hard NONO anyway. Our IT folk cannot for some reason figure this out. I am just assuming it is some stupid permissions thing, because 99% of all our tech problems can be traced back to that.
We had one start treating binary files as text. It was a very fancy color printer - not laser or inkjet, more expensive to print than that - so everything sent to it was binary.
BBC just showed a time-lapse sequence of the container ship being moved from the bridge in Baltimore to the container ship docks. The tugboats looked like little water bugs.
Weather radar in our area shows gray for poor air quality, brown for wind advisory, green for flash flood, red for heat advisory and some other color not sure what it means except holy fuck probably.
I should be able to get a quick nine holes in between 11:30 and 1 if I don't run over a police officer on the way to the golf course
Two weekends ago I changed out the finally-dead 12-year-old starting bettery on the generator, flushed the fuel system, ran it up, and switched the house over to generator for half an hour to make sure everything is good.(it is all manual)
Of course, I won't actually BE here during three months of hurricane season.. but if things go to shit I may have to come down and/or get my neighbor to fire up the house in exchange for running an extension cord to his fridge
We've had a few severe thunderstorms this past week with 50MPH winds that helped clear out the dead branches on trees, so that's a plus..
1871: French troops invade the Paris Commune, starting Bloody Week. By the time the shooting stops, about 20,000 Communards end up dead and 38,000 arrested.
1881: The American Red Cross is established by Clara Barton. Well done, Ma’am.
1904: FIFA is founded as the international governing body of association football. Likely started out corrupt as shit, and only gets worse.
1917: Atlanta burns, again! Two thousand homes, businesses and churches are incinerated, and about 10,000 people displaced. Only one fatality, though – a heart attack.
1924: Richard Loeb and Nathan Leopold Jr., two college kids, decide to kill a 14-year old just to see what it was like.
1927: Charles Lindbergh arrives at Le Bourget Field in Paris after crossing the Atlantic flying solo. Lucky Lindy was lucky he wasn’t torn to pieces by celebrating well-wishers.
1932: Bad weather blocks Amelia Earhart from reaching France, so she lands in Ireland, which is part of Europe. So she becomes the first woman to fly across the Atlantic solo, yay!
1936: Sada Abe, a geisha and prostitute, strangles her lover to death and castrates his corpse. She keeps the genitals in her handbag and goes walkabout in Tokyo for a few days before getting arrested.
1937: North Pole-1, a scientific station, is set up by the USSR on a piece of drift ice in the Arctic Ocean. It’s all in the name of SCIENCE!
1946: Playing around with subcritical masses of plutonium is bloody dangerous. Louis Slotin fucks around and finds out thanks to the Demon Core. And he wasn’t the first one to FAFO, either.
1961: Race riots have broken out in Alabama, and the governor declares martial law.
1972: A deranged geologist decides that Michelangelo’s ‘Pieta’ would look better after he took a hammer to it. The sculpture will be restored.
1979: Dan White gets convicted of the murders of George Moscone and Harvey Milk. Of manslaughter, not murder, which explains the so-called White Night Riots.
1982: British troops land in the Falklands to take them back from Argentina and safeguard British sheep. Baa . . .
1991: Former Indian PM Rajiv Gandhi gets blowed up real good by a female suicide bomber.
1992: Johnny Carson hosts his penultimate episode of ‘The Tonight Show.’ Heyoooo.
2011: Radio broadcaster and God-botherer Harold Camping predicts that today is the end of the world. In 2011. Yeah.
2017: Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus perform their final show.

With how I stagger half asleep into the bathroom, I think this cat would learn pretty quickly not to lay there if it lived with me.

Oh my God, that was the worst night of sleep I’ve had in a while. Weird dreams too, including a dream where Trump made an appearance. I’ve forgotten what actually happened though. Or blocked it out.
How’s your morning?
Trump forgot too
I woke up with a late stage Jefferson Starship song stuck in my head, that's how it's going.
Blows Against the Empire is the only Jefferson Starship I recognize.
did you build any cities?
They said Jefferson Starship. Thankfully, by the time they recorded that schlock they'd already dropped the Jefferson, so we can pretend it wasn't the same band...
The Starship of Theseus.
On rock and roll.
If you're city's a rockin, don't bother knockin
Up early to drive Mrs Bot to the airport for a business trip. Then it’s party time!
Narrator: It’s not party time; adult bot daughter is staying with us for a few days, and adult bot son lives at home.
If she hasn't given them instructions about you ("Don't let him have a second cup of coffee!"), some partying is possible
My morning is going OK so far. Sorry about the nightmare (any dream with trump has to be a nightmare).
As soon as I remembered I had a dream with him I went “EW” out loud.
Slept rather poorly (woke up about three times). No odd dreams, but I've only been up for 90 minutes so far.
That’s practically sleeping in for you!
Yeah, it is.

I agree, and that's why I shave my skull; no interim steps to worry about before the throwing.
For a while when I was the children’s court attorney I would be sent the reports from which I had a very limited period of time to make a decision whether to file a case on a kid, but those were so encrypted that I couldn’t access them.
So for about a month no kids got charged.
I told them, so (shrugs).
It is so maddening, but at the same time, I never have to worry about getting bored as I try to figure out yet another work around for all the work arounds to get around the work arounds
IT goes to school to learn that.

A classic.
lol that is about right.
Though what I do not get is all these hoops and workarounds we have to do seem to be a lot less secure than "just letting us do what we need to do" in the first place.
But whatta I know
Can't you use virtru or something, and just email shit around?
Not legally no XD
Shit, we can use that to send sftp credentials around for HIPAA protected data
We have our own, but like I said, we have to, by law, encrypt it. Even though we are sending it to ourselves.

Hide the USB drives in your knickers.
lol they do not allow those at all anymore XD

I can't even hook up my not even a little bit internet connected camera (remember those?) to my computer to transfer the photos that law- and my contract- says I have to provide and transfer.
They prefer briefs
giggle snort, that was much funnier than I intended, considering the entire "briefs" thing at the work place
Budding lawyers I surmise?
lol right now we can't even print XD They bought us a new printer, but some security glitch is making it print out only in....encrypted code.

It may be gibberish for all I really know, but it sure LOOKS like the same code we get when we hit that button.
But to be fair, that also looks like gibberish
BBC just showed a time-lapse sequence of the container ship being moved from the bridge in Baltimore to the container ship docks. The tugboats looked like little water bugs.
Dark Brandon and his side kick Super Pete did that with a whole bunch of other superstars.
Sounds like most boats will return to Baltimore because of its location.
Well done you guys.
Tugs are amazing machines.
They're not the cool things or the big things or the fancy things, but they are pretty amazing things. Like the dozers of the ocean
Tugboats as bug totes.

Generator's good, supplies and bottled water purchased.
How about your ammo supply so you can shoot the storm into submission?
That doesn't work.
I save the ammunition for intruders or thieves.
Or l'otters.
they will be shoot
You're right. It's only nuclear bombs that can do that.
Damn, I'm way behind stocking up but I think Mr. V checked the generator already.
If the canned goods get through the season unused, they'll go to a local food bank.
Didn't DeSantis ban hurricane season?
No, he banned [REDACTED BY STATE LAW].
