The goyim have their little holiday today, something about rabbits being oviparous. There’s also chocolate and caves somehow involved, I dunno, it’s pretty mysterious to (((me))). All I know is that I didn’t get Saturday night with Prime because she was in church chanting some prayer or other.

Birthdays today include a guy who put the twinkle in Twinkletoes; a guy who would have been Heinlein or Asimov if he had lived long enough; Betty Rubble and a million other voices; the stereotype of every pretentious French filmmaker; a psycho who was typecast; a guy who was in two of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen; a third-rate magician who is mysteriously popular; and someone who died too young but was an iconic image.

HAPPY EASTER!!
Here come the Chreasters.
“Ivey, another Black Caucus member, also sees a parallel between the anonymity sought by organizations like the Ku Klux Klan — the notoriously hooded white supremacist group that terrorized Black communities a century ago — and the masks being worn by ICE and CBP officers today.”
Now do antifa and BLM.
Glad to help.
They liked masks when petty dictators forced it during covid.
They like masks when attending one of the “mostly peaceful protests”
It makes me wonder if people even listen to the words coming out of their mouths.
But it’s the race card which always works so there go any “masks”. I’m ambivalent about the whole thing but one of them will eventually be ambushed and the left will cheer when it happens. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Happy Easter.

So another advertisement for an influencer masquerading as a news story.
Someone at the Post owns a lot of OF stock?
It’s not public.
Doesn’t mean they could not own any of it and be hoping to cash in big when it does go public.
Kickbacks seem much more likely.
“Stephen Cloobeck, an eccentric, lefty billionaire who’s burned more than $1 million supporting Rep. Eric Swalwell’s run for California governor, is engaged to a Penthouse Pet and Israeli OnlyFans model who’s facing a string of criminal charges for allegedly burglarizing the homes of rich old men in Los Angeles.
The Post can reveal that Swalwell’s campaign benefactor recently became engaged to Adva Lavie, who also goes by the name Shoshana and has been accused of posing as a romantic partner or travel companion before stealing cash, gold, and high-end designer goods….
The alleged honeytrapper is set to be arraigned Monday on six felony charges, including two counts of grand theft, two counts of burglary and two counts of unauthorized use of personal identifying information.”

If Swalwell wins, and he seems to be the candidate the unions have settled on, we will deserve what we get.
Is Penthouse still a thing?
“The last printed issue of the U.S. edition appeared in 2023….In January 2024 it launched a new digital-only product combining Penthouse and Penthouse Letters…until December 2024, when it, too, ceased publication.
Since then, the company has continued to nominate a monthly Penthouse Pet, adding photographs of the model to the Penthouse website during her four-week reign. For now at least, this is its only nod to Penthouse’s origins as a print periodical.”
Yep, bullshit.
Looks like I’ve got another book to pile onto the to-be-read stack.

“What is going on? If the allegations are true, is this a dark new ‘trend’ – an epidemic of female teachers preying on their students?
No, says Dr Laura Berman, a sex therapist and author. That doesn’t, however, make it any less disturbing.
‘It has always happened,’ she told the Daily Mail. ‘But a lot of adult men who had these kinds of things happen to them when they were young thought they were supposed to be high-fiving, and proud of ‘getting with the hot teacher.'”
https://archive.is/coELk
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15686233/female-teachers-predators-sexual-abuse-students.html
How do you know?
“She said: ‘It is almost universal that every sexual abuser or molester has been abused or molested. And so these women who are molesting these young boys, I guarantee you, the majority of the time, they are victims with unresolved trauma and abuse themselves.’
‘There is a way in which a part of ourselves stays at the age we were before the trauma happened,’ she said. ‘So in many cases these women, these predators, are emotionally teenagers themselves. They’re the ‘cool’ teachers, because they’re like a kid themselves. And they’re very emotionally immature.'”
Again, how do you know?
Would articles have the same sort of sympathy for a male molester?
“‘In the classrooms of old, you had to keep the kid after school or for some extracurricular activity to build that relationship,’ she said. ‘Now the teachers are on social media, and the pupils can just slide into their DMs. Teachers are on TikTok or Snapchat, sending vanishing messages. There’s a myriad of ways of generating these intimate, emotional connections.'”
For unknown reasons, I find the phrase “slide into DMs” especially irritating.
Slide!

Not on FB but their logo and branding just irritates me for some reason.
Just as TDS as Democrats and establishment Republicans?
Nah, this one suggests today’s pro-cop crowd would have supported the crucifixion of Christ.
It’s the Gary Johnson strategy: we’re going to pick up voters by attacking conservatives.
It’s not that they can’t read the room. It’s that they are stuck in that adolescent rebellious phase where it was cool and exciting to say whatever was most likely to get a rise out whatever adults were around. Winning elections, or even persuading people to become libertarian is not only not the point, it contradicts the point. They are hipsters who somehow chose political philosophy as the thing to nerd out about. If libertarianism becomes mainstream they will accuse it of selling out and find another niche philosophy to preen about.

For reelection he was on record to deny minors, no idea what age that is for him as its a sliding number based on whatever the issue is.

Since it’s supposed to be rainy today, instead of taking the Lego Rifle to the range for its test fire, I’ve been working on the PrusaConnect Bypass Pi. To explain, my 3D printer has the native ability to be remotely managed, including with cameras, but a lot of it has been tied to the vendor’s cloud service. while currently free, I do not want nor need cloud services when my 3D printer isn’t supposed to be talking to the internet at all. It does still have a local remote management interface where you can tell it to start printing and monitor print status, cut which does not have camera functionality to monitor the print directly. Also, managing the internal storage isn’t as easy as I’d like it to be.
So I’ve been using the Raspberry Pi used for my OctoPrint server on the old 3D printer to make an add-on I’m going to magnetically attach to the side of the enclosure and have it provide the missing functionality. I’ve already gotten it to pose as a USB mass storage device so I can manage the gcode repository remotely like any other filesystem. Today I’ve got it streaming video for monitoring the print – and a second stream for the spool. (I remember the shim suddenly being printed out of air when the spool ran out)
I can add more cameras if I want to, but for now, two is enough.
I’ve also designed a ‘hat’ (pi’s term) that provides power via the GPIO pins, ordered the PCB and parts so that I don’t have to rely on the 3D printer’s USB port providing the wattage to power the pi and multiple cameras.
Sounds quite ambitious. I hope it all goes well.

Spring is in the air, Pie, for thee but not for me. 10 inches of snow over the past 3 days. Wet and sliding off the metal roof with a thump. Don’t stand under the eaves.

Carryover from yesterday:
$60/mo is unmanageable?
Fuck that bitch.
I think what was “burdensome” to her was the part where she was being encouraged to sign up for a “payment plan” plainly designed to keep her in debt in perpetuity. As she pointed out, the payment didn’t even cover the interest. It’s an insult layered on top of the original swindle. A mob loan shark wouldn’t stoop so low. Where is Elizabeth Warren when you need her?
No one forced her to take out the loan but counselors have been amiss in their duties for a long time.
I went to a private school on the GI bill and had money left over every month. Trade offs, beats paying interest.
So…she might have gotten away with paying $14,400 on a $65k debt. Was she forbidden from paying more than $60/mo.?
Also reminder that Easter is next week.

“A Massachusetts man has been sentenced to federal prison for trafficking more than 100 body parts from endangered and protected animals into the US. Adam Bied trafficked jaguar skin, tiger and orangutan skulls, as well as those of pangolins and gorillas.
40-year-old Bied was sentenced Thursday by Senior US District Court Judge Dennis Saylor to eight months in prison followed by two years of supervised release. He was also ordered to pay a $75,000 fine, which will be used to support wildlife enforcement efforts.”

Who the fuck collects animal skulls?
🤨
Well, normally the skulls would be taken from those you’ve slain yourself in honorable combat.
The question is not who collects skulls buy who pays for others’ skulls
New rule.
Collecting animal skulls isn’t inherently bad nor creepy.
The question here is, if he merely was picking up and ‘traffiking’ skulls, how does that affect the endangered species. They be dead already.
The jaguar skin is something that isn’t going to be salable if scavenged off of carcasses. Quality hides are from poachers.
Ah ya well that…
None of those animals are native to the U.S.

I do it for my sons because I want them to see that women can be the center of a story, that women matter, that women are interesting.”
“At the end of the day, we’re all kind of like in this place in history maybe where we’re recognizing what it is to ultimately deconstruct all these gender roles and ultimately be human, and that’s exciting to me,” she added. “So, you know, I’ll just continue to kind of do my work and try and deconstruct all these limiting narratives about ultimately what it means to be human.””

A death sentence for science
The White House seeks to slash the NSF budget by nearly 55%, to $4 billion. The proposal also cuts all funding for the NSF division that funds research on the social sciences and economics. At an internal all-hands meeting on Friday, NSF leaders announced that they would dissolve the agency’s Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences directorate based on the budget request, according to two NSF staff members who shared information anonymously in order to speak freely. The NSF’s budget request to Congress states that the agency will shut down the SBE but maintain SBE “grants that align with Administration priorities, such as in behavioral and cognitive science, and all impacted employees will be transferred to other parts of the agency.”
The proposed cuts to the NSF would be “devastating,” says Leigh Stearns, a glaciologist at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. “We cannot cut the pipeline and expect the output to continue. This is how the US loses its scientific leadership — with a reckless budget line.”
The proposal would eliminate funding for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research. It would also shutter three of the NIH’s 27 institutes and centres – those focusing on minority health and disparities, international research and alternative medicine.
Trump is sending us back to the Dark Ages.
NASA faces a 23% cut to its total budget and a 47% drop in funding for its science division. More than 40 projects would be terminated. “It’s an extinction-level event for science,” says Casey Dreier, chief of space policy at the Planetary Society, a non-profit organization in Pasadena, California, that advocates for space exploration. “It would undermine and prevent NASA from being the world leader in space exploration.”
