Nolte: Tina Fey Lied About Golden Globes Not Being Political

Tuesday, March 2, 2021

It tells us Hollywood is full of unprincipled, McCarthyite fascists who don’t care if “their guy” puts kids in cages, because it was never about “kids in cages,” it was only ever about power.

Nolte: Tina Fey Lied About Golden Globes Not Being Political

# – # – # – # – #

Let’s not forget; it’s NEVER about the issue at hand. It IS about who’s “guy” is in power.

Remember back to the “anti war” left that only comes out when there is an R in the White House.

It’s like the “deficit hawks” that only come out when there is a D in the White House.

Well, I’, anti-war and anti-deficit REGARDLESS of which of the Republicrats to Democans are in power.

Argh!

TECHNOLOGY: Google Pay loses functionality permanently

Monday, March 1, 2021

*** begin quote ***

First, starting on April 5th, the following features will no longer be available from the old app and at pay.google.com:
•
Ability to send, request or receive money
•
View of your recent activity or transaction history

*** end quote ***

That sounds like a pretty big change to me.

Guess google can’t compete with all the other ways to “send, request, or receive” money?

No impact to me, but maybe to Google’s Users of their phones?

‘Everything Has Been Criminalized,’ Says Neil Gorsuch as He Pushes for Stronger Fourth Amendment Protections – Reason.com

Sunday, February 28, 2021

In short, under Gorsuch’s view, the Fourth Amendment’s warrant requirement would only be waived in such cases if the police were pursuing someone suspected of committing a genuinely violent or dangerous crime, a category that necessarily excludes a great many suspected misdemeanants and felons. If adopted by the Supreme Court, that approach would limit police power in these sorts of cases.

Hawaii considering a rescue fine if hikers don’t follow signs

Saturday, February 27, 2021

The Star-Advertiser reported that Case also noted in her testimony that the DLNR would defer to counties — who are responsible for search and rescue operations — on whether they required hikers to pay for their rescue or not.

Seems only right and fair.

I’d be surprised if some insurance company doesn’t step and underwrite the risk by creating pool.

I never thought it was fair for the taxpayer to get stuck with the bill for “rescues”.

Especially when it was due to someone’s stupidity. Like blindly follow directions from an idiot box when driving in the mountains and taking a ‘SHORT CUT’!

Argh!

Let the User pay for services. Just like in the real (non-Goofermental) world.

Covid Bill IS FULL of Expensive Crony Giveaways, Including $100M for rail line linking Pelosi’s district with Silicon Valley, Only $75M for vaccines etc.

Friday, February 26, 2021

(From FEE : COVID Aid Bill Would Pay Federal Employees $1400 a Week if Kids Are Out of School) Buried on pages 305-306 of the legislation, the provision creates a $570 million fund for disbursements to federal employees who are not working because they are caring for others because of the coronavirus. “Among those eligible are those who are ‘unable to work’ because they are caring for school-aged children not physically in school full time due to Covid-19 precautions,” writes Andrzejewski, the CEO and founder of OpenTheBooks.

Coded Resistance: Freedom Fighting and Communication

Thursday, February 25, 2021

It’s nearing the end of Black History Month, and that history is inherently tied to strife, resistance, and organizing related to government surveillance and oppression. Even though programs like COINTELPRO are more well-known now, the other side of these kinds of stories are the ways the Black community has fought back through intricate networks and communication aimed at avoiding surveillance.

*** begin quote ***

Perhaps the most famous artisan of secret communications during this period is the venerable Harriet Tubman. Her character and will is undisputed, and her impeccable timing and remarkable intuition strengthened the Underground Railroad.

Well worth reading. Perhaps, everyone who wants to resist the State should be studying her.

TECHNOLOGY: Paytrust changed their UI

Thursday, February 25, 2021

It used to be perfect from my POV.

Then they “upgraded”

Now I can’t see my payees or my outbox of bills.

Oh well it was nice while it lasted now I have to leave them.

Sadly the worst part is no one cares.

Argh!

I signed up for T-Mobile’s $50 unlimited home internet service. Here’s what happened – CNET

Wednesday, February 24, 2021

So after more than a week with T-Mobile Home Internet, what’s the verdict? I’m keeping it, at least for now. There’s no contract, so I can always go back to Comcast if things don’t work out. And even if it’s not perfect 100% of the time, well, neither is Comcast — and imperfection is a lot more tolerable when you’re paying less than half what you were before. If this service is available in your area, I’d say it’s definitely worth a try. If nothing else, as noted above, the presence of a new competitor gives you a bargaining chip; you might be able to negotiate a lower rate from your current provider.

The Non-Covid Spending Blowout

Wednesday, February 24, 2021

(From The Wall Street Journal) Last year’s Cares Act distributed money mainly by state population, but much of the $220 billion for states in the new bill will be allocated based on average unemployment over the three-month period ending in December.

So reward the Blue States that bought into the need to lockdown?
