Today someone asked if I had any LAN cables they could borrow, so it’s definitely been worth keeping two drawers full of cables for the last twenty years.

In case people are not fully across the Fairford story: What appears to have happened is that five men from London went to a small country village in the middle of the night to siphon fuel for resale. In small country villages, people notice things, especially at 1am. A farmer called the police.

The OpenAI "hugging face incident" is actually a perfect example of the collective make-believe acting-as-if reality magic where a bunch of people all pretend together that something is other than it actually is in order to create and accumulate power.

This got me to finally read the entire New Yorker article on the Tates and... yeah. I don't see how what they're doing is any different than what everyone has accused Jeffrey Epstein of doing. Except they're *more public* about admitting to what they're doing AND getting young men to join in.

This is bone-chilling. A conservative hedge fund manager wants to require little girls to pass genital inspections for their “safety.” And it’s only for girls’ sports. There’s a clear link between transphobia and child sexual abuse.
