Racis' white supremecist brings paid clown to "redundancy" meeting where he would be fired due to lack of funds to pay all of the staff they had.

Actually, he didn't mean this as a #clownworld thing, but this is New Zealand, so expect someone to bring it up soon.

RMS said some unorthodox things about the case of the Epstein harem. For this, SJWs threatened to "destroy MIT" if they had to, to get RMS out of his jobs.

This Soylent comment says all you need to know.

> Stallman did not defend Epstein in any way, nor did he do any victim blaming. He did speculate that while [individuals] may have had sex with the woman in question, they may [...] have been unaware that she was being coerced into these acts by Epstein

Someone didn't get the memo. CLIMATE CHANGE is the boogey man, not cold war.

Also, LOL -- it's actually called "Zero Breeze" and crowdfunded around $1M... twice.

Thunderf00t busts $1000 13kg "portable" battery-powered AC device which happens to have "tent camping" as a suggested use. He suggests you don't expose your tent directly to the sun -- or, failing that, maybe put a wet bed sheet over the tent. Don't buy a $1k scam device that doesn't work and can't work. 28 minute video.

> Protest organizer Close the Camps said in a statement the sit-in was to demand that Microsoft stops "allowing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to use its technology in the racist campaign against immigrants and legal asylum seekers."

Why don't they go after ICE's ISPs and banks?

Maybe I should add a clause to my licenses on my own software: You forfeit your license to use my code under copyright if you hate America.

To be fair, no one is giving all their money to a leader, and members are allowed to quit. Don't say "We are not a ___." — It just sends the message that you are. :^)

The phonespam has subsided somewhat, but not ended. I'm in a bagel cafe right now and the phone is ringing constantly, announcing faraway caller locations, and the proprietor isn't answering it.

Reebok is funding a cult that runs through your city's streets at night for exercise, accompanied by a PA system blasting annoying workout people music. Strange.

Jaywalker has zero-vehicle accident.

Also, I thought "Edition" was for unpaid stringers to write real news for CNN. They allow press releases now?

Glamping company announces north pole tent camp.

> … From there, they are transported to the glacier where the North Pole Igloos hotel stands.

What the fuck is that supposed to mean? There is no land at the North Pole. There cannot be a glacier there.

Dave Murray the 8-Bit Guy is building a real modern 8-bit desktop computer. TLDR: it's like a VIC-20 with a new video and sound chip and lots more RAM. (All the other chips in a VIC-20 are still available to buy in bulk for such a project.)

It'll be like a 286/AT class machine except with an 8-bit CPU, and focused on hacking and gaming and newbie-accessibility.

It'll be a while before they're at "shut up and take my money" stage.
