I like the first comment on the video: "I know we're currently locked in a deadly high-stakes Japanese cyberpunk Mad Max battle, but I think it'd be an awesome teambuilding exercise for all of us if we stopped for a bit and did a nifty choreographed set."
@VeroniqueB99 Cyber criminals are unhappy with Brian Krebs apparently…

🔥 Oakland-based, musician-loved Bandcamp gutted by 50% layoff
｢ The Oakland-based company was purchased by Epic Games — maker of Fortnite and Gears of War — in early 2022. In September, just a year and a half later, Epic announced its plan to sell Bandcamp to Songtradr, a Santa Monica company that specializes in music licenses. Just 50% of Bandcamp’s employees got offers in the acquisition ｣

Going to Vancouver and Calgary in a bit. Will have some unplanned down time. Any recommendations for family friendly activities?
We will be there for the big rodeo thing, and have tickets for that and a bus trip out to Bamf.
Museums, parks, particularly Canadian activities? Anything you'd like to recommend?

👍 👏 E. Jean Carroll demands her money from Trump — with interest - Alternet.org
"People sometimes end up on obscure sites run by just... anyone. A page made by a local club is as easy to find as a corporate site."
I didn't realize that the guy I was talking with about the internet in 1999 thought of this as a *problem* to be solved... not what made the internet awesome.
All along there have been people who see everything you love about the internet as an unfortunate design oversight, something to be fixed. And they've been working for decades to make it happen.

If bots are running the #stockmarket with no grip on reality, well, it's no wonder the #AI bubble is so huge.

Sen. Murphy did the same thing last year after T****'s First 100 Days, going down the list of Crimes & Corruption committed by Trump that the #GOP had chosen to ignore.
The list has since *exploded* in size, with DOZENS OF EXAMPLES (as Murphy points out: plus dozens more) of impeachable offenses that #Republicans would lose their minds over if the #Potus were a #Democrat.

A few days ago, @sortius was asking about the Japanese-market Nissan Elgrand. @BitchinRob has kindly provided me with a couple of photos of Elgrands he has owned, so here we go. First up, an E51 (2002-2010) VG with eight seats.
