Had to do it... Part 1 of 2. starwarsintrocreator.kassellabs.io/FP4pgj9ynnDF...
I was able to spin up a vaultwarden instance after 1Password decided to continue funding a white supremacist's pet project. Costs little to no money and uses the bitwarden client. Works fantastic. Takes a little technical knowhow but it's doable.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

In the shuffling madness Of the locomotive breath Runs the all-time loser Headlong to his death Oh, he feels the piston scraping Steam breaking on his brow Old Charlie stole the handle And the train it won't stop Oh no way to slow down
It's called the locomotive. And we're gonna drive it right through your god damn bedroom.
Christ I hate this timeline.
It was Katie Wells, a Groundwork fellow, who co-authored the report describing how the apps nurses use to get shiftwork collude with data-brokers to find out how much money nurses owe on their credit cards, so they can pay the most desperate nurses lower wages: pluralistic.net/2024/12/18/l...

BREAKING: SCOTUS keeps the Missouri 2022 congressional map in effect for this election in an order that criticizes the Eighth Circuit's actions in the case. The five page, per curiam — unsigned order — came with no noted dissents. More to come at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com
Holy shit. Well that fits in nicely with the "What the hell was she thinking?" logic we had back when it was going down.
Wild stuff. Sheri Mecklenberg, career prosecutor accused of misconduct in Broadview 6 case, resigns from DOJ. The NYT obtained her scathing resignation letter, in which she says the U.S. attorney directed her to bring felony charges over her objection. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Whatever Sheeran's politics, it's reasonable for an artist to not allow moneyed outsiders to dictate what happens on their tour. He's a stadium headliner, he has the power to play where he wants and with whom he wants. Bowing down to billionaires is how you end up playing DJ sets on dictator yachts.
The thing that's interesting is *how fast* it came up as a topic and reached consensus. Something happened in the last month or so that made the numbers so obviously not work that they can't even pretend any more and are hoping to scrape together profitability on current models alone I bet.
So they realized they're in the gutter, no revenue in sight, operating at a tremendous loss, and suddenly decided to slow down "to save the humanity."

Funny how they always leave that part out.
I read Adam Smith about 15 years back, to see what all this invisible hand stuff people who "understood economics" were on about. I was surprised at how often he mentioned that the point of Gov't is to act as a *counterbalance* on Business for the good of humanity. 250 years ago, alas.
