Show me a billionaire philanthropist, and I will show you someone who has stolen billions from all of us, and is now giving a fraction of that back to mitigate problems they helped perpetuate in order to launder their public image and soothe themselves.
Fuck all billionaires, is my point; none of them got that way without robbing us first.

Autumn in Texas is rather depressing, from the manic weather with it's rapid swings, and the leaf's that stay green until they fall of the trees, everything is go go go until you simply are no more, for the irony be there is no beauty until spring, for winter is bare and the weather beware, fall is here but no sign of change anywhere, for if life was to be with no change until the end, for what reason does summer have to be, you see the seasons change but the time remains the same, for no beauty in life when everything is simply depressing;

Here's an alt-text description for the image:
The image shows a digitally rendered frog in a dynamic pose, appearing to hop forward. The frog has a vibrant red and green coloration with speckled patterns across its body. It has large, round, bright red eyes and orange webbed feet. The frog is positioned against a blurred, dark green background with scattered light spots. The overall impression is of a stylized and somewhat fantastical depiction of a frog.

Spent a lot of time today fiddling with how physics projectiles from spells work with multiplayer. For an agonising time there I could only get 2 out of 3 of the things I wanted working; fixing one broke another.
1. Smooth moving networked physics objects
2. Client prediction so no lag in firing
3. Arcs that matched client aim
I was losing hope but finally squeaked in a solution that does all 3 just before the nightly build deadline 👍
Good grief!

What’s with Siri + Apple Music’s mania for playing re-recorded or live versions of songs when they should assume you’re asking for the original studio cut?

Normally my walks back and forth between school and home are soundtracked by podcasts, but I'm in full spooky season mode today so I've instead replaced them with the great Art Bell.

Justice Department strips Jan. 6 references from court paper and punishes prosecutors who filed it
The Justice Department has stripped references to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack from court papers and punished two federal prosecutors who filed the document seeking prison time at sentencing Thursday for an armed rioter arrested near former President Barack Obama’s home.
The prosecutors from the U.S. attorney’s office in the District of Columbia were locked out of their government devices and told they were being put on leave Wednesday morning shortly after they filed a sentencing memorandum describing the crowd of President Donald Trump supporters who attacked the Capitol as a “mob of rioters,” according to a person familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss personnel issues.
Later Wednesday, the Justice Department replaced the court filing with an updated version that stripped references to the Jan. 6 riot. The new filing also no longer included a reference to the fact that Trump posted on social media what he claimed was Obama’s address on the same day that the defendant, Taylor Taranto, was arrested in the former president’s neighborhood.

Russia uses new range extender to deploy glide bombs against Ukrainian civilians.
Another day, another litany of war crimes and cruelty as Russia wages its genocide against the Ukrainian people.
Corporate media will downplay or distort what is happening in Ukraine, and they don't even bother to go see the truth - they just lie and support the evil.
Why? Go ask Trump - he knows, but doesn't dare say.
Meanwhile, Georgio reports from the trenches of democracy in Ukraine, and he shares the friend link to bypass the paywall.
Please support Georgio's work and share widely. This is evidence of Russian warcrimes, and it will serve as such in court.
Witness for yourself true reporting from Ukraine, see the cruelty, and hear from the people affected directly by bombs destroying their homes and bodies.

Here's a detailed alt-text description of the image:
The image shows a person wearing a yellow hazmat suit, including a hood and gloves. The person is facing forward, looking intently at something held in their hand. They are using a small, slender tool, likely a stirring rod or spatula, to manipulate a clear, viscous substance within a clear glass beaker. The beaker sits on a countertop, and the background is out of focus, creating a shallow depth of field that draws attention to the person and the beaker. The person's face is partially visible through the clear hood, and they appear to be wearing glasses. A logo is present in the bottom right corner, reading "Breaking Bad".

We were lucky to spot this stag and a number of hinds as we entered Killarney National Park a few weeks ago. The light was terrible. It was just after sunrise and we were walking through a wood. I’m thrilled with this photo of a magnificent stag.

Being a billionaire just means you have a net worth of at least a billion dollars/euros/whatever - it doesn't mean you have an income of a billion dollars or even a billion dollars worth of liquidity sitting around. Somebody who owns a single office building worth $1B is a billionaire even if their annual income is zero.

It is obscene. Whatever that 'worth' is. It shouldn't be concentrated in any way to this extent.
