Definitely Not Shane @cno.bsky.social · 01/04/2026The plain text of the law is a “safe harbor” and not a “safe light-industrial office park”. If Congress intended the protection to apply in non-marine environments it would have done so. #textualism 030
Definitely Not Shane @cno.bsky.social · 15/03/2026^ should be the top comment. “Drone hits empty building in abandoned Iraqi base” is much less interesting. 071
Definitely Not Shane @cno.bsky.social · 24/02/2026People over 50 will also recognize this as a “Clear and Present Danger”. 021
Definitely Not Shane @cno.bsky.social · 24/02/2026We are apparently doing a Sicario, from the movie Sicario, which warned us about the dangers of doing a Sicario. www.reuters.com/world/americ...reuters.comExclusive: New US military-led group aided Mexico's hunt for 'El Mencho' cartel bossA new U.S.-military-led task force specializing in intelligence collection on drug cartels played a role in the Mexican military raid on Sunday that killed the Mexican drug lord known as 'El Mencho,' ... 121
Definitely Not Shane @cno.bsky.social · 15/02/2026I've been receiving scam "Google Security" phone calls for a while but they were always from people. Today I got one from an AI voice chat bot. AI is truly taking over all of the entry-level service jobs. :-) 021
Definitely Not Shane @cno.bsky.social · 10/01/2026Wow, blast from the past. If anyone needs me I’ll be in the basement with some glow sticks. 110
Definitely Not Shane @cno.bsky.social · 28/11/2025I listened to an interview from The Modern Warfare Institute with a J1 in the Rangers - basically the toughest, baddest Human Resources person in the Army. It got me thinking, what other mundane-sounding positions exist in elite military units? Seems like a @lethalityjane.bsky.social question. 1103
Definitely Not Shane @cno.bsky.social · 28/11/2025Blowback is (classically) when your own side believes the disinformation that you secretly planted to disrupt the other side. More generally, it’s the unforeseen negative consequences of covert actions. None of this is blowback. 200

Definitely Not Shane @cno.bsky.social · 12/11/2025Dang it. I should have expected this. What was just there… a book? 030
Definitely Not Shane @cno.bsky.social · 12/11/2025Received my copy of @qntm.org’s “There is no Antimemetics Division”. 1191
Definitely Not Shane @cno.bsky.social · 27/10/2025I'd like to thank this site for informing me that PowerWash Simulator 2 exists. 000
Definitely Not Shane @cno.bsky.social · 27/10/2025That’s a popular opinion among people who have not worked in banking or financial compliance or law enforcement - and it’s not true. The people I used to deal with at FBI vastly preferred crypto investigations because of how easy it was (in most cases) to track the $$$ relative to offshore banking. 000
Definitely Not Shane @cno.bsky.social · 27/10/2025You can’t, generally speaking, prove negative claims about bribes or anything else. You can’t prove that you are not the hidden beneficial owner of a bank account somewhere in the world. You can’t prove you don’t have the key to a safe deposit box full of gold bars. Etc etc etc. 110
Definitely Not Shane @cno.bsky.social · 25/10/2025This is the kind of filing that lawyers love and everyone else hates - an appellate court staying a stay from one if its own panels, which stopped one (and maybe two but probably not) TROs which themselves prevented government action. 000
Definitely Not Shane @cno.bsky.social · 21/10/2025There are several interesting things in this paragraph. 010
Definitely Not Shane @cno.bsky.social · 17/10/2025You confidently wrote something legally impossible (voter recall of a NY elected official) would happen. Now you're asserting the Governor will do something you didn't even know existed before I mentioned it. 100
Definitely Not Shane @cno.bsky.social · 17/10/2025And before people start commenting - the governor’s removal provision exists but has not been used in either a very long time or ever, so that’s highly unlikely as well. 100
Definitely Not Shane @cno.bsky.social · 17/10/2025New York state law does not have a provision for recalling elected officials. So, no that’s not going to happen. 100
Definitely Not Shane @cno.bsky.social · 09/10/2025Another instance where I think "well, we can't expect a random person to remember 1973", and then click through to find the author is a Harvard professor of government studies. 000

Definitely Not Shane @cno.bsky.social · 22/09/2025It also really united Americans in the 1950s, the 1860s, and (if you will grant me a bit of liberty with the historical record) every damn time it was used other than WW2. There‘s also the famously successful A-TEAM program for an example of non-military govt service. Look it up. 010
Definitely Not Shane @cno.bsky.social · 22/09/2025We all, of course, fondly recall how compulsory service united the country from 1969-73. 110
Definitely Not Shane @cno.bsky.social · 19/09/2025It’s the sort of thing that Dave Winer or Douglas Copeland would have written in 1994. 100
Definitely Not Shane @cno.bsky.social · 16/09/2025Mike Tyson punching Mr. Beast is the healing moment this country needed. 000
Definitely Not Shane @cno.bsky.social · 26/08/2025It will be fine.* * Offer not available in all states. 010
Definitely Not Shane @cno.bsky.social · 05/08/2025I was briefly looking forward to your scholarship on the law of schoolyard fistfights and am now disappointed. Who do I sue for compensation? 100
Definitely Not Shane @cno.bsky.social · 22/07/2025Or you end up with the current NorCal situation where there’s an abundance of energy but we shut off large portions of the grid on windy days because a lot of the power flows over 75-100 year old above-ground lines that run through forests. 100
Definitely Not Shane @cno.bsky.social · 22/07/2025Distribution, not storage, is the issue and it’s a political, not engineering, problem. Deregulation discouraged transmission investment and current solar installs increase that strain. RN we can continue to increase solar at the expense of a Paradise-scale fire every ~5 years. 100
Definitely Not Shane @cno.bsky.social · 22/07/2025Another way to phrase that is “ISO throws away 12% of all solar power because we have not invested in storage and distribution.” It’s a good problem to have but, you know, still an area needing investment. 141
Definitely Not Shane @cno.bsky.social · 15/07/2025Being born in the 70s is massively underrated. Bonus points if you stumbled into “symbolic systems” or “neural networking” in the early 90s. 000
Definitely Not Shane @cno.bsky.social · 08/07/2025Without discounting the possibility of a generic corporate screwup, it’s probably very hard to navigate EU + US political pressure these days. 000
Definitely Not Shane @cno.bsky.social · 08/07/2025Oh, my apologies goose, that makes sense. Honk! 010
Definitely Not Shane @cno.bsky.social · 08/07/2025Speaking from experience - I would absolutely not blame the third-party contract moderators. The contracting company (1) writes the rule book and (2) decides how much time moderators get to spend making decisions. 100
Definitely Not Shane @cno.bsky.social · 08/07/2025Sure, I’ve described the Tommy’s parking lot on Rampart as “a war zone” but that was a *metaphor*. 000
Definitely Not Shane @cno.bsky.social · 08/07/2025“MacArthur park represents an area of historic lawlessness” - lol I used to go there in the 90s as a teenager. Heaven help these people if they have to go south of Pico. 100
Definitely Not Shane @cno.bsky.social · 02/07/2025I was wrong - the bill front loads a lot of the spending in the first 4 years so it’s probably more accurate to say the spending will be ~$25B for 4 years and $12B for 6 years. Anyway, it’s bad no matter how you divide the $$$. 010
Definitely Not Shane @cno.bsky.social · 02/07/2025It’s bad, and separately, Andy confused annual and 10 year cumulative budgets. The current annual ICE budget is ~$8B, under the proposal it would be about $17.5B. ($175B is the 10 year number.) 130
Definitely Not Shane @cno.bsky.social · 30/06/2025The local Fox affiliate knows the shooter’s identity and spoke to him but is not disclosing his name “as he has not been arrested or charged”. 000
Definitely Not Shane @cno.bsky.social · 29/06/2025(I want to note that it is a bit unclear if one or both of the volunteers shot at Gamboa, and if the same person who shot Ah Loo also shot Gamboa.) 100
