Adult Swim is just the name of programming block on the Cartoon Network channel. Changing the air time to when the target adult audience is not watching, but the children who are watching will be mad at losing their show, would be a candidate for the most moronic idea out of TV network of all time

The :-(est part, Dollar Tree, like all "dollar" stores is usually not really a bargain. Through marketing and purchasing power tricks you will often end up with less product for the same money versus a grocery store.

“Everyone is very aware that our audience is going to hate this.” @nataliekorach.bsky.social has the inside scoop on tension inside MS NOW over the network's decision to air Donald Trump's taxpayer-funded propaganda ads. Read her story in @status.news: www.status.news/p/ms-now-tru...

MS NOW’s Trump Ad Dilemma
Trump tried to ban MS NOW from the White House. Now, his administration is planning to spend taxpayer dollars to reach its viewers, and inside the network, Status has learned, some are "pissed."

It's October, and here in southern England it's around 17 deg C today, which is something like 6 deg C over the mean. Decades of failing to take action mostly mean that it's too late to disrupt climate breakdown. Vote for people who speak about the issues and are prepared to do something.

In this post, I discuss the debate over whether the Nazis were socialist, and why it matters. It turns out the Nazis were similar to socialists only in part. But the difference between the two is greater in theory than practice: reason.com/volokh/2026/...

Were the Nazis Socialist? Only in Part
The Nazis were similar to socialists supporting economic statism, but different in other key aspects of their ideology.

I hate that Minogue is so popular that Healey feels the need to do this :-( Although I'd rather have a little fiscal irresponsibility from Healey than risk getting a governor who will actively work to rescind civil rights protections for some citizens.

Ospreys are disappearing along the US East Coast due to a shortage of Atlantic menhaden, a crucial food source for ospreys. One company alone harvested nearly 300 million pounds of the fish in 2024 but somehow claims they’re not at fault. 🧐

New Attack Against RSA
ArsTechnica is reporting on a "new" attack against RSA, one that bypasses factoring. First, this attack isn't new. The original research is from 2007. What is new is the implementation. Second, it is a forgery attack. It allows an attacker to forge digital signatures. It does not recover the private key from the public key. Third, the attack only works against pure signatures.
