US Gov’t Interferes To Get Foreign Sponsors To Drop Conference Because A Panel Asks If The US Engages In Foreign Information Interference
One of the most bizarre things over the last few years is how two guys, Michael Shellenberger and Matt Taibbi, bumbling around cosplaying as "free speech" experts, have done tremendous damage to free speech. After Elon Musk brought them in to report on the so-called "Twitter Files," the two of them spun up nonsense tales...

Anyway, here's a picture of my cat rolling around in her favorite dirt pile while 4 turkeys walk by unperturbed.
A picture of Bastet, my cat. A long fur black cat. She is wearing a harness and is on a leash. She is laying belly down, in the sunlight, in a small patch of dirt after having rolled around in it. It is her favorite pile of dirt.

There are small patches of grass around the dirt patch, mostly in the shade of trees that are out of frame. Further in the distance there are more trees, walking through them are 4 turkeys unperturbed by me or Bastet.

Specialty lubricants are going to beat it every time. Specialty cleaners will also work better. That doesn't mean WD-40 is bad or won't work. I don't think I've ever seen a lock that was messed up because of WD-40, but I've seen lots that got messed up because they had nothing at all.

A small rant about WD-40 and locks... "WD-40 isn't a lubricant! Don't use it in locks!" 🤦‍♂️ Wrong. WD-40 is a lubricant, it's marketed as one. The point of WD-40 is that it's "ok" at pretty much everything (lubrication, cleaning, water displacement, etc).

Unfortunately, many of these new datacenters are using natural gas turbines and diesel generators full time to generate much of the electricity they use. It’s a serious air pollution problem for the people who live near them.

Sheryl Weikal says Prosecute ICE @leftistlawyer.com · 09/08/2026
This is unironically - and astonishingly almost verbatim - Gul Dukat's genocidal rant against the Bajorans in the Deep Space Nine episode "Waltz."
There is a persistent idea in certain circles that if Israel improved living conditions for Palestinians – more jobs, better infrastructure, freer movement, greater economic opportunity – the violence would fade.

Treat them kindly, the argument goes, and they will eventually come around to peace. A heavy hand, by contrast, only breeds resentment and fuels more attacks. This sounds compassionate on the surface, but it is also deeply flawed, and the evidence against it has piled up for generations.

All of it seems to be fairly standard disclosure about routine data collection and retention. I’m not a lawyer but I don’t think this is saying that they are wiretapping or anything.
