I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

The reason why RAM has become four times more expensive is that a huge amount of RAM that has not yet been produced was purchased with non-existent money to be installed in GPUs that also have not yet been produced, in order to place them in data centers that have not yet been built, powered by infrastructure that may never appear, to satisfy demand that does not actually exist and to obtain profit that is mathematically impossible

For folks still struggling with the math: There are ~345 million US citizens. There are ~245 million white US citizens. This is what they mean by "Peaceful ethnic cleansing." Their plan ends with deporting all non-white people. Not "undocumented criminals." Not even "all undocumented people."

The Python Software Foundation was recommended for a $1.5M grant from the National Science Foundation. The terms of the award said PSF could not work on DEI, whether or not the grant funding was used for it. PSF therefore declined the funding. Science suffers, but commitment to core values remains

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have. Python foundation said no and rejected the grant. If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.

There will be a tipping point, where the acceptance of violating the law spreads well beyond Trump. Lawful/peaceful societies are built around voluntary acceptance of laws and rules--with some, but limited, need for enforcement. We're headed for a cultural shift that will be hard to reign back in

For those not fluent in Catholic: refusing the Monstrance is not denying prisoners the Eucharist, it is refusing Christ himself, since Christ is present in the Monstrance. If Portland’s blow up animals are the right language for Portland, this is the right language for Chicago.

I’m not an expert on this but as a Peruvian with a pretty intense Catholic education I think I can offer some context. It is important to situate Prevost’s role within the politics of the Peruvian and Latin American Church in order to understand his relationship with Fujimorismo

It will make a huge dent unless they come to a mutually beneficial arrangement - the communist regime can't look weak to their people so it's going to be interesting to see if they sink their economy just to look strong.
