"It was a dark Saturday afternoon..."
A line from my favorite #MLK day speech; the anniversary and the weather today made me think of it. MLK was telling the story of the day he was stabbed and nearly died, while doing a book signing in #NYC:

People are understandably focused on other things right now. But it's a big deal that (at the end of last week) the 10th largest bank in the US confessed that it has been laundering money for organized crime for years, and accepted $3 billion in penalties to protect itself from an even worse punishment.

"As the federal courts repeatedly ruled against the South’s massive resistance, many white people pivoted to a new tactic, one that is lesser known and yet profoundly influences the Black Belt region today: They created a web of hundreds, perhaps thousands, of private schools to educate white children."

🤔 If it gets abbreviated, hover over it to spoil the surprise. It's how I verify the headlines in news links when the message itself somehow forgets to mention it. For SEO reasons, it'll be in the link.

@jrefior School vouchers are yet another redistribution of wealth from taxpayers to the rich. Basically it’s another government #handout that will make rich people dependent & shiftless.

@jrefior RBAC is easier for most organisations yet there's quickly the risk of role combinatorial explosion and then it falls short.
ABAC is interesting when data quality is *really* understood as a key prerequisite and actually correctly measured and enforced.

"The many dangers LaFayette faced included an assassination attempt on the same night Medgar Evers was murdered in Mississippi, in what the FBI said was a conspiracy to kill civil rights workers. LaFayette was beaten outside his home before his assailant pointed a gun at him..."
"LaFayette grew up in Tampa, Florida, where he recalled trying to board a trolley with his grandmother when he was 7 years old. Black passengers had to pay at the front, then walk to the back to climb on. But the conductor began to pull away before they could board, and his grandmother fell. He was too little to help.
"He was beaten in Montgomery, Alabama, and arrested in Jackson, Mississippi, becoming one of more than 300 Freedom Riders sent to Parchman Prison...
"Several of King’s marches were attacked by white mobs..."

Russia bombed the US, but it's no big deal to this Russian asset who got elected president. He's just excited about the photo of him and Putin together, he's showing it to everybody who walks in the Oval Office.

Some TIARA site updates tonight, such as Trump describing his warm feelings for Putin:
"...you saw that: when he got off his plane and I got off my plane, there's a warmth there that you can't—you know, there's a decent feeling, that's a good thing... I called.. it was late... but he picked it up very happily. I'm sure he works very hard"

"First came the red carpet, then the warm handshakes, friendly smiles and military planes flying overhead.
"Finally, President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin climbed into the back seat of Trump’s presidential limousine, casually chatting like reunited friends.
"It was a greeting fit for the closest U.S. allies. Instead it was rolled out for an adversarial leader who launched the largest land war in Europe since World War II and is seen as one of America’s most vexing foes.
"Trump briefly applauded Putin while he awaited their greeting. His hand was outstretched as Putin approached, and they exchanged a lengthy handshake, patting each others’ elbows, chatting and smiling.
"That is when F-22s fighter jets and a B-2 bomber flew overhead at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage.
"They ignored shouted questions from reporters as they stood on a platform emblazoned with the words 'Alaska 2025' for a photo-op and another handshake.
"As the motorcade pulled away, Putin grinned."

I recently realized Impossible Foods products must be mostly Monsanto RoundUp Ready soy with oil.
Good recipe. Cheap ingredients.
