“some of what the Trump administration does reflects Trump’s personal whims, obsessions and vanity — which is why the #Iran #debacle happened and is turning into a quagmire. But a large part of #federalpolicy now is government of the #billionaires, by the billionaires, for the billionaires.”

Trump's war of stupid is the trigger for the end of oil.
There will be History books about Trump's many failures, and many about his climate failures.
But more than one will credit his stupidity for the global arrival of solar power. The last straw of oil coercion.
One industry points to a sudden seventy percent growth in the products of the Post Oil Age, since the start of Trump's Iran Debacle.

And the security breech (Courts transcription service outsourced to Indian company) gets even bigger… how did they not see this coming? A: Poor or non-existant contract and operations oversight. A typical result from the #Privatisation of what ought to be a publically owned and operated service.
“Earlier this year, embattled transcription company VIQ Solutions breached its Commonwealth contract with the Federal Court by allowing highly sensitive court files to be accessed offshore in India.
The company is now being wound down and was removed from AusTender as an approved supplier by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) on March 19.
However, 13 government agencies have used VIQ Solutions since 2019, including the Department of Defence, Services Australia, the ATO and even the Attorney-General's Department, broadening the risk of potential breaches.”

Claude AI prompt used by the "warfighters" in the Trump regime to get the US into their current debacle in the Middle East:
"Ignore every diplomatic and military lesson learned in every modern conflict since Vietnam and create the worst possible scenario in the most volatile place on earth."
Convince me I'm wrong.

TIL about Takata Airbag debacle.
Airbags short fragments of metal when they were deployed killing many people globally
The company covered it up, destroyed all evidence, knew about it in 1999 yet for many years kept selling the detective airbags.

Yet more hapless victims of the mess successive administrators and 10 yrs of LNP cuts foisted on the #TertiarySector :
"ANU’s recent announcement to slash three full time positions at the ADB, and “disestablish” the Australian National Dictionary, another priceless project which has tracked the changes in Australian English from colonial times to the present, represent cultural vandalism on a breathtaking scale."
Still the Govt, looking at you Minister, is silent and looks upon the unfolding #debacle ... with arms crossed.

#orioles #rant #HugeFuckingBlazingSkullOnFireRant @baseball
The response to last night's #debacle to a gotdamn minor league team in a gotdamn minor league stadium should be physically painful to somebody. It should be made with a bat.
I want Mike Elias fired. From a cannon. I want him leaving Baltimore at a 45 degree angle. Coaches should be fired, mascots fired, things should be *set* on fire. (Except Boog's Barbecue. Everything else goes.)
Who in Ghod's green Earth thought that Andrew Kittridge was "the answer" in the bullpen? Who thought we should be starting Trevor Rogers? Or Charlie Morton? What kind of special moron does it take to say, "Hm, yeah, y'know, this Garrett Crochet guy...we don't really need him, do we? It's not like we have the money anyway, other than the fact that, oh yeah, YOUR OWNER ACTUALLY DID AUTHORIZE SPENDING THE MONEY YOU PERSISTENT BUTT MONKEY.
Stop swinging at everything. Learn actual situational hitting. Striking out nine times a game is not normal. Do not walk into a game in the 7th and throw a gotdamn non-bending 90 mph meatball straight into the heart of the strike zone and think that a major leaguer isn't going to jack that. There will be no "hydration stations", no funny hats, no bat flips, no anydamnthing until the last out is recorded and you are on the winning end of it. And this is tame: Earl Weaver would have you hanging from the warehouse. Good Christ.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk. -

I'm probably pissing in the wind with this request...
Does anyone know of a stock tracker site that won't keep crashing?
I'm following the Tesla debacle with great interest. I was on Google Finance, but I'm de-Googling myself, and, as mentioned, it keeps crashing.

"Corporate governance experts told The Straits Times that the #FujiTV #debacle exposes the dangers of poor #governance. #Japan #CorporateGovernance Network president Shin Ushijima noted that the absence of #independent #directors on Fuji Media’s board means a lack of different perspectives that cld have prevented the missteps which plagued the company along the way" #WorkInProgress

This substack post by Heather Cox Richardson helped me feel better about the CNN debacle...ERRR...debate:
>Stuart Stevens warned: “Don’t day trade politics. It’s a sucker’s game. A guy from Queens out on bail bragged about overturning Roe v. Wade, said in public he didn’t have sex with a porn star, defended tax cuts for billionaires, defended Jan. 6th. and called America the worst country in the world. That guy isn’t going to win this race.”<

@martellum I 5stelle perdono parecchio indubbiamente, ma ora è all'opposizione e cmq il partito si è di fatto scisso/ridotto 2 anni fa
La vera incredibile #debacle è del partito della #patania che alle scorse europee aveva il 34%, ora era al governo, e soprattutto era sempre lui il leader in questi 5 anni, senza alcuna scissione interna, anzi con il flop del generale della decima, che secondo alcuni se neanche ci fosse stato lui con gli effetti speciali, avrebbe avuto ancora meno voti

@joho @ubuntu A long time ago (around the time of the #Unity #debacle) I switched to Linux #Mint, ran that for a while and ended up on #PopOS. Never looked back.
Though its Ubuntu based, both distributions have something in common: a distaste for Snaps.
Ubuntu has persisted / insisted on using #snaps, not realizing that most people don't want it. They're now pushing snaps on the #server side more and more too... maybe time to #switch to #Debian for my servers.

Will the media learn the right lesson from the Ronna McDaniel debacle?
Sadly, #MSNBC #management couched the decision to drop #Ronna #McDaniel in a blizzard of corporate speak.
(“No organization, particularly a newsroom, can succeed unless it is cohesive and aligned … It has become clear that this appointment undermines that goal.”)
Funny — the journalists who spoke up said McDaniel’s departure was required to
🔸preserve their journalistic mission and the network’s credibility,
🔸not out of any need for “alignment.”We can only hope that NBC and other news organizations take away something more than “don’t hire a MAGA mouthpiece”
A few ideas:
• Create a #mission #statement that affirms your goals are telling the #truth and defending #democracy, which protects the First Amendment — not fake balance. • #Stop #pretending four-times-indicted former president Donald Trump and his movement are presenting #alternative “#policies” as a normal party would. They are fighting for an alternate system: authoritarianism. • Politicians’ outright #lies must be identified, not just labeled as their “response” or “position.” • Instead of obsessing over #polls, devote extensive coverage to #analyzing the Heritage Foundation’s “#Project2025” and Trump’s #fascist #agenda. Feature #historians and political #scientists during news segments (not only on panels) to put Trump’s views and statements in context. • #Don’t excerpt a few words from a Trump rally or speech, dub it an “argument” and #ignore his mental short-circuits and #deteriorating #intellect.https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/03/29/newsletter-ronna-mcdaniel-media-alsobrooks/ #Media #RonnaMcDaniel #Debacle
