‘If it weren’t for tobacco, many of our black friends wouldn’t be here today.’ My review of South Park, season 7
Imagine life in a post-South Park world. No more wars, no more famines, no more poverty, no more sickness. I can already see the homeless breaking out into song as the one barrier between them and the millions of uninhabited houses around the world is finally lifted. Physicians could retire happily knowing that their services are no longer needed. The occupiers of Palestine would have no choice but to surrender their ill-gotten gains to the Palestinians, confident that the natives shall take better care of them than the settlers ever did. Even wolves and sheep would put aside their differences before making sweet, sweet love with each other. In short, everything would be bright and sparkly with rainbows and flowers and stuff everywhere. Paradise was only a word until now. Ahhhh…
Let’s get this show on the road. Easier to run over it that way.
Cancelled: If only.

Report: Bobby Kotick Files Defamation Suit Against Gizmodo And Kotaku
Former Activision boss Bobby Kotick has filed a defamation suit against G/O Media over a pair of 2024 articles.
A record of a March 11 defamation filing titled “Robert Kotick v G/O Media Inc” can be viewed in Delaware court records, but the complaint itself is not currently publicly available. Courthouse News, which first reported on the suit, writes that Kotick is “seek[ing] damages to be determined at trial” regarding articles on former G/O Media site Gizmodo and current G/O Media site Kotaku about Kotick’s reported interest in buying TikTok.
As context into Kotick, the articles both discussed a California Civil Rights Department investigation into Activision Blizzard that was settled in 2023. The final California settlement makes note that “No court or any independent investigation has substantiated any allegations” and that the “[d]efendants deny all allegations of wrongdoing, liability, and damages.”
www.motherjones.com LGBTQ federal workers brace for a McCarthyist purge
"They’re not asking people, ‘Are you gay? Are you lesbian?’ They’re asking, ‘Who is participating in DEI?'"
[D]uring Donald Trump’s first term, Michael remembers a meeting when a seasonal worker came out as transgender and asked the staff to use he/him pronouns. “His voice was cracking, his hands were shaking,” Michael still recalls. It reminded him of his own early days on the job. “I thought, There needs to be a group for community and support. I need to do this.”
So Michael started working with other queer people in his agency to form a monthly group for LGBTQ employees and anyone else who wanted to join. They organized Pride Month events, surveyed members on barriers they were facing in their jobs, and problem-solved with management, like helping get an employee’s official nametag changed when they came out as transgender.
Hundreds of organizations like Michael’s exist throughout the federal government—not just for LGBTQ workers, but also for veterans, Black and Hispanic workers, people with disabilities, and others who share a connection around a fundamental part of their identity. Kn

TIL about Haitian Independence Debt
The Haitian independence debt involves an 1825 agreement between Haiti and France that included France demanding an indemnity of 150 million francs in five annual payments of 30 million to be paid by Haiti in claims over property – including Haitian slaves – that was lost through the Haitian Revolution in return for diplomatic recognition. Haiti was forced to take a loan for the first 30 million,[a] and in 1838 France agreed to reduce the remaining debt to 60 million to be paid over 30 years, with the final payment paid in 1883.[1][2][b] However, The New York Times estimates that because of other loans taken to pay off this loan, the final payment to debtors was actually in 1947. They approximated that in total 112 million francs was paid in indemnity, which when adjusted for the inflation rate would be $560 million in 2022, but considering that if had been invested in the Haitian economy instead, it could be valued at $115 billion.[4][5][c]

So I neglected my Humble Bundle account for months, and the games piled up. There was a huge spread of the types of games, and I wasn't into all of it. Rather than clogging up my own inventory, I figured I'd let the community pick through and maybe find a new game they'd enjoy. It'd be better than having it sit un-downloaded in my Steam library.

Donald Trump’s debate tactic: a flame blower of lies and deception known as the Gish gallop
You may not know the term ‘Gish gallop‘ but you’ve seen it in action if you have watched any Donald Trump performance. It is a firehose of lies and disinformation employed to sow chaos rather than educate. It is dishonorable.
The technique is named for creationist Duane Gish who used it in his debates with biologists [and described in the Scientific American].
His tactic consisted of talking fast and with confidence, bombarding opponents with falsehoods, non-sequiturs and enough cherry-picked factoids to confuse the audience. Scientists debating him faced the challenge of sifting half-truths from outright lies and finding the right evidence to refute them systematically, all within the few minutes allowed in response.

I was reading this old article about how signing Kendrick Perkins was one of the reasons why OKC couldn't end up signing Harden but I am struggling to understand the math involved.
Had Harden accepted the offer of $55.5 million over four years, this article is saying that OKC would have been at about $78 million in annual salary. That would be about $7.7 million over the luxury tax threshold.
Considering what the tax levels were at for the 2013-14 season, $7.7 million over the luxury tax threshold would be $5 m

Conlang Showcase: Ylmunusian
Introduction
Hi all, today I wanna present you my creation Ylmunusian. I've been working on it since 2013, when my previous large conlang died in the fires of a fried external harddrive. That said, back when I started with Ylmunusian my knowledge of conlanging and of where to find resources was... limited, let's say. So looking back now I'm fully aware that Ylmunusian is sorely lacking in some regards. At the same time, I wouldn't call it "bad" either. So yeah, if you wanna comment that certain things are not realistic or anything... knock yourself out but I'm well aware. Still, I'm proud of Ylmunusian, especially because of the scale as well as associated worldbuilding, and still work on it, mostly the vocabulary and translations. The grammar, from my point of view, is mostly "finished". That said, any feedback is still welcome and I will answer any questions below in the comments as quickly as I can get to it. If there's sufficient interest I can also share links to my online di

Toujours le même objectif, on centralise les self-post, meme, vidéos, commentaires de petites actus, des lives, commentaires des débats, bref, tous les petits sujets au même endroit histoire de dépolluer le sub.

Developers (two dudes) are super responsive and would likely release an IP customization feature upon request. Is there any service that would tolerate this [D]DOS-y kind of behavior that would feel more privacy friendly than Cloudflare?
IsThereNet [for macOS] watches for internet connection status changes and draws a colored line at the top of the screen to indicate the status.
Edit: Thanks everybody!
(1) ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) Echo Requests hardly constitute a burden on a server.
(2) There is little privacy concern simply exposing your IP to Cloudflare.
(3) Uptime-Kuma can be self hosted to accomplish this task with more bells and whistles.
