Decided to actually try reading some of Cory Doctorow's fiction.
Saturday night so far?
Virtual Ritual dance party to the left. Dragon Ball FighterZ national championships to the right. Refactoring Yorick to handle the migration mLab to Atlas in the middle.

It's important to note that neither Twitter or Facebook have any legal obligation to remain neutral in an election. It's weird how Republicans forget that they want corporations have the full freedoms of an American citizen until it harms them... almost like another bit of evidence that their only ideology is selfishness.
They keep turning this sort of stuff into a partisan dog-and-pony show rather than actually figuring out how they want to resolve the very real conflict between misinformation and the freedom of speech. You can't grapple with Twitter having a liberal bias without grappling with le queue being your base's aenimus to vote.
I'm having to migrate a site from Classic Google Sites to New Google Sites. If this is what Google Sites had been when I made this website I never would have used it. Every feature that brought me to it is gone.
Partied too hard last night. Everybody dead. Don't send help. There's a pandemic.
Luckily I have family obligations, so I'll wait until after the debate is over to see it.
If this decision is legally sound, then fire all of them. The position of police officer shouldn't exist if it legally authorizes those employed to commit murder like this.
Fire them all. Everywhere. Today.
Quit. All of you. Everywhere. Today.
“Even if it's bad wealth, it buys buildings,” he said. “It puts money into bank accounts. It enriches the nation.”
It's not really unlike us to not care who suffers for our money.
Addressing an anti–money laundering conference in 2015, Leslie Caldwell, then the head of the Justice Department's criminal division, said that when it came to getting banks to clean up their acts, deferred prosecution agreements, which typically involve a fine and a probationary period, “can often accomplish as much as, and sometimes even more than, we could from a criminal conviction.”
But the FinCEN Files investigation shows something very different. Banks often get to the end of their agreement without actually fixing the problems. Then, instead of getting the prosecution that they had been threatened with, they just get another chance. And sometimes another.
I actually vaguely remember when this pronouncement was made. It seemed ridiculous and corrupt at the time.
"In a subsequent letter, FinCEN’s general counsel said that disclosure of SARs can make banks less willing to file them, which “could mean law enforcement has fewer potential leads to stop crimes like human trafficking, child exploitation, fraud, corruption, terrorism, and cyber-enabled crime.”"
You don't appear to be pursuing these leads anyway. What value do we get out of protecting this pipeline of information that you just sit on?
"The agency announced that it was referring the matter to the Department of Justice and the Treasury Department’s Office of Inspector General."
It's become dangerously typical how in the United States the only crime they seem to care about is the crime of pointing out that they aren't pursuing criminals. This is a non-answer. The question was, "Why aren't you prosecuting these criminals?" The answer was, "How dare you point that out? Are you a criminal?"

This is breaking news, so I haven't seen a lot of other news sources chiming in on it. At first glance though this seems fairly credible.
It's a job. You can just quit. We'll be fine without you.
