It’s not an unauthorized hack - it was actually announced on Twitter by Google’s search liaison, Danny Sullivan.
But Jeffrey’s links are just going to the home page.
Charles,
Thank you for restoring the old Google search (at least temporarily). The new Google was terrible, especially when they decided to make AI the initial response to a question. Yes — it sometimes seemed to give the right information but you cannot count on its accuracy in general. It might not have been so terrible if it weren’t also coupled with the features from their revised Google that reduced the value of the responses. I was even thinking of trying Bing before you produced your solution.
I’ve had Duck… as my default search engine for months. Google cut me off from use of its search thing unless i make it the default. That pissed me off. But the map on the Duck just isn’t there yet.
This is horrifying.

re: #13 Hecuba’s daughter
Thank you, I realize that came had to have come later as Warren campaigned with Dewey as VP candidate in 1948. But FDR still appointed most of the court that he presided over.
Gillers was a thing when I was in law school in the 1980s, and he’s 81 years old now. He (and Alito) are *fools* if they think we’re deceived by all this attempted butt-covering. Nobody who lived in the period 1965-1975 (and these guys did, as did I) would miss out on the symbolism of an upside down flag. Alito knew VERY WELL what his wife was doing and he endorsed it. Gillers is just trying to cover up for the fact that the Supreme Court is openly corrupt and has no checks and balances that are worth anything. Hell, “ethics” don’t mean *jack* for an out of control Court.
This is why I think there’s going to be some Supreme Court decision that’s going to break this country apart because it will be intolerable. I don’t know what it’s going to be, but I just have this feeling. And I don’t like what I’m feeling either.

Headline from an article by Zoe Strimpel in The Telegraph (No - I didn’t read the article)
For the first time, I see why reasonable people will vote for Donald Trump
He is deeply flawed, but at least he won’t centre his foreign policy around appeasing the West’s mortal enemies
Since The Telegraph is part of a media empire controlled by Conrad Black, that was all I needed to know about the credibility of the author.

re: #17 Joe Bacon ✅

If he wins, absolutely yes. If Biden wins however, the ruling will be against Presidential Immunity. This is simply how our modern SCOTUS operates. Complete and total corruption. This knowledge has greatly damaged the Court’s public reputation and the Conservatives currently “serving” on it don’t care one little bit about it.
What’s more is that with an utterly corrupt SCOTUS I’m increasingly beginning to believe we will have a quickly evolving puppet administration. This racist radical theocracy will form very soon after Trump wins. Trump’s already-addled brain is quickly deteriorating before our eyes. Every speech gets more demented, insane and his references and actions more and more off the deep end.
I’m quite sure that soon after his inauguration he will quickly be shut off from live public view by his sycophants and they will take charge of all matters, trotting out pre-recorded videos of him issuing edicts and EOs taking control of the country, this means the likes of Miller, MTG (our new Sec. of Education) and a complete rogue’s gallery of total nut jobs in the new administration will reconstruct the country into their vision of a hellish Libertarian Utopia composed of sycophant warlords (“Constitutional Sheriffs”), corrupt Mafia governors like Don Abbot, pay-as-you-go corporate lackies and common citizens eager to have their views pushed on everyone —-for a price.
Enter the newest Trump Foundation, a sewage dump of grift, graft and total immorality used to directly purchase policy in exchange for cold hard cash. The same way Putin is considered one of the richest men in the world is how Trump and his slime ball family will also achieve actual wealth…. Through total despotic depravity.

If you mean the big-man theory of history, cataloging wars and such, then yes, future historians will be able to do that.
However, if one wants to do family history, and no one records information in Bibles, or family notebooks, or printed photo albums, etc., then reconstructing the facts of a family may be lost.

It’s a thing I try and keep track of because it reveals a great deal about the person where they put the lines and how much actual foreign relations long-term reality they overstep to establish the lines.

“The West” is a kind of elaborate nesting-doll of excuses for exploitation was an active choice made to create surplus value by over and over abstracting what actually happened into a narrative of incremental progress.
One of it’s most important modern functions is to create conceptual distances between the beneficiaries of exploitation in the metropoles…the West…and the enforcers of exploitation in the periphery that either become or create threats to the metropole.
You have to other China because China was our preferred source for cheap labor for forty-someodd years; there is a direct line between a choice to offshore to a Communist country (precisely because the centrally-dictated economy diminished labor rights to almost zero) and the “Chyna” that we are told over and over has somehow cheated it’s way to global prominence. You have to other Muslims because petrostate monarchs that funded modern fundamentalism were our collaborators in the Cold War, and the encouragement of fundamentalism was an approved anti-left tactic. You have to present the wars of Africa as baffling but endemic because the alternative is to explore how layers and layers of exploitation have created enormous volatility but also an ongoing spoils system in which dictators and presidents-for-life jostle to be the middlemen for Eumerican business concerns that want access to mines and oil fields.

Interesting to fold “woke’ into a essay premised on foreign policy. Since I haven’t read the article I won’t expound too much, but there is a developing trend in which a bunch of Western philosophy is now not-of-the-West because it attempts to universalize a bunch of theses about individual choice and liberty in ways that are inconvenient to power structures.
(Case in point, the sheer number of anti-feminists constructing “the West” to their preferences; or for that matter people like me that constantly point out the failure of “the West” to implement it’s own standards of The Good because distinctions create exploitable economic niches)
Otherwise, exactly following a right-wing magical-thinking track in which performance of toughness is actual “toughness” in that it compels compliance…for which there is no evidence.

My father took photos for years and had the results put on slides. ~50 carousels of slides kicked around the family since the 90s that were stored in two file boxes. I eventually got a scanner and scanned them all over a summer. And then went through a set of old scrapbooks* and scanned the photos and various other things along with writing down any notations I came across. Also scanned a loose pile of photos that had built up over the years between me and my brother.
A copy of everything scanned was put on a flash drive and given to my brother. I have another copy on a flash drive of my own. And the original scans have been migrating across my laptops.
They are now on a much more compact format and less degradable. OTOH, the risk is there that eventually JPG format reading is lost to civilization along with the flash drives or laptop drive being lost. But they are accessible and referenced as compared to sitting in a closet like they did for 20+ years.

As it turns out, historians have come to learn that by the time the Great Library in Alexandria burned down, there weren’t that many books left in it, many of them simply disappeared over time, were carried away or deteriorated or god knows what.
An enormous number of them wound up getting used as toilet paper at a monastery. We only know this because some bibliophilic wanderer stumbled upon pages of codex that were in the outhouse with him while he was taking refuge there. One can only imagine the first words out his mouth when he realized that it was entirely possible a couple dozen of Sophocles’ plays had gone into shit barrels to be burned out later.

He’s now the Pasty Poop.
Be kind of funny if President Biden greeted him at the debate with “Love the new skin tone!”
This is me, wondering if this will be the week the media suddenly realize that Donald Trump’s brain has turned to apple sauce.

well, Bill certainly believes he is. Joe Rogan is another one.
both high on their own supply and likely never have had a job where they have shitty bosses or shitty customers.

Thanks! I thought I might be the only one but corporate media seems to be using Bill as the “liberal” rebuttal to their interviews with people in rural coffee shops.

Maher is selling the kind of liberalism that appeals to people with power: you have values but it’s gauche to actually see those values as something to be assertive about in ways that make powerful people feel challenged. Which is to say…the kind of liberalism that ends up siding with conservatives consistently because to arbiters of “how to complain properly” you are either so quiet that you are ignored or so loud that a jackboot must be fit in your mouth.
It’s a position that demands to be understood as edgy and rebellious but always finds itself excusing the power dynamics of the status, finding reasons that all problems are actually signs of lost virtue…and it would, in fact, be a moral failing to intervene in such problems because the problem-havers deserve it and/or need to learn a lesson. The abstraction of The Good matters so much it can’t be dirtied with applied, imperfect instances.
If this seems unfair, it’s the basic structure that allows liberals to talk about civil liberty but also knuckle under, really taste that boot, when it comes to specific instances of loss of civil liberty…you know, like all the War on Terror loss-of-privacy stuff and the “well, don’t piss off the cops by being rude” cant. Maher is a voice in declaring a hierarchy of caring, defining who is abject and thus not really deserving of the kind of moral obligation we’re supposed to have because of what our morals decree.

People who were repeatedly vaccinated for COVID-19 — initially receiving shots aimed at the original variant, followed by boosters and updated vaccines targeting variants — generated antibodies capable of neutralizing a wide range of SARS-CoV-2 variants and even some distantly related coronaviruses.

re: #137 Rightwingconspirator
Did you guys see the story about a court ruling a taco is a Mexican style sandwich? Which reminded me of the “is a hot dog a sandwich?” So I thought what about this?
[Embedded content]
Wasn’t the context of that argument that if he’d ruled against tacos as sandwiches the (I think) taco stand could have been shut down because of some ordinances?
Edit: It took a number of replies to find when this happened but it was in 2017 during the BLM protests.

It’s all gamified for them: this doesn’t signify anything broader, it only has meaning as part of a closed struggle to win market share through more and more elaborate forms of rhetoric, where what must be discussed is how effective professionals-at-rhetoric feel each side is doing.
The best example of this is interpreting Trump speeches: what’s analyzed is their likely impact—how well the do rambling bits or the spooky bits work as performance—failing to acknowledge that there is a coherent message within them that should be a red flag.
Because they’re not in the business of what is materially true, but the business of parsing meaning for the audience through their own filter of “does this sell?”, it doesn’t occur to the pundits or the press elite that the message is actually a message.
I won’t be surprised if the New York Times decides this is the week to say that they have the Biden Interview videos from a source in Hur’s office…and of course they will edit them to make Joe sound senile…
Whether you have seen Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes or not, the real thing, Chimp Empire, is a limited series playing on Netflix. Narrated by Mereshala Ali, it’s a goddamn Shakespearean tragedy on the fall of a king.

The things mentioned all happened, the implication they are connected is dubious.
The read out of the conversation with Putin show it was about the Siberian wildfires ongoing at the time and trade policy.
The whitehouse was in the midst of trying to replace the DNI at the time and the list of “Top Spies” were all top paid bueaucrats not undercover assets.
