New Tennessee Law on the Use of Deadly Force
This is an interesting change. New Tennessee law expands use of deadly force
The TL;DR version is as follows.
The law adds arson, burglary, robbery, and aggravated cruelty to animals.
This means you can shoot someone to stop those crimes, or at least that is how I read it, though I am no lawyer.
The article is mostly a list of insults traded back and forth from politicians who like the law, and those who don't.
I find this kind of thing interesting.
Windows Security?
From Bleeping Computer we get the latest from Microsoft. CISA: Windows BlueHammer flaw now exploited by ransomware gangs
I usually avoid all articles about Windows these days. Since I am not using Windows, they are of no interest, but when CISA raises its head, I have to take a look.
CISA is the government agency that was named by the Department of Redundancy Department. CISA = The Cybersecurity and and Infrastructure Security Agency. (They really, really, really focused on security!) They also have a logo straight out of 1955.
CISA confirmed on Monday that ransomware gangs have begun exploiting a high-severity Microsoft Defender privilege escalation vulnerability that has previously been abused in zero-day attacks.
Dubbed BlueHammer, the security flaw (CVE-2026-33825) was leaked by a security researcher known as "Nightmare Eclipse" in early April, together with proof-of-concept exploit code, in protest at how the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) handles the disclosure process.
The moral of the story: Never piss off the hackers who are reporting bugs to you. This is a lesson that executives, not just at Microsoft, will probably never learn.
Will Dormann, principal vulnerability analyst at Tharros, told BleepingComputer in April that while the issue is not easy to exploit, it gives local attackers access to the Security Account Manager (SAM) database, which contains password hashes for local accounts.
With this access, they can escalate to SYSTEM privileges and potentially take complete control of the targeted system.
I'm not sorry I left Microslop in the dust.
You can find the CISA notification at this link.

An argument at a fast food restaurant ended in gunfire after a carload of people followed one of the customers home and opened fire, leaving two of them shot by the man they had chased, Abbeville Police say.
Abbeville, Louisiana, is roughly a 25 mile drive southwest of Lafayette, or about a 150 mile drive west of New Orleans.
Cops found the car, and had two people taken to the hospital.
No charges have been filed at the time the article was written, but it was early in the investigation.
June in the Windy City
HeyJackass! brings us the June Wrap-up
To understand the following statement, you would need to know that Mayor Brandon Johnson claimed a couple of things. One is that there is epidemic of violence against transwomen of color. Which may or may not be true, but that isn't really going to move the statistics much in either direction.
Despite the 🚨Transfemicide State of Emergency🚨, The Summer of Silly Decisions got off to nearly the same start as last year.
June 2026: 43 killed, 157 wounded
June 2025: 42 killed, 140 wounded
June 2024: 74 killed, 323 wounded
So it is more than last year, and less than 2024. Actually it is much less than 2020 or 2021. Does that mean that crime is down, or is it up?
Aside from the statment about transwomen of color, Johnson has claimed that this entire wave of death and violence is all Nixon's fault. Richard Nixon. This isn't the first time Brandon Johnson has brought up Nixon. He won't let it go. (It used to be a wonderful city.)
It's So Obvious!

Hollywood Still Blaming the Fans
In case you haven't noticed, DC released a movie over the weekend. That was Supergirl. It was a massive flop.
Hollywood can't admit that the current crop of writers don't know how to write a superhero movie. They don't understand what the stakes should be, what the character arcs should be, how the dialog should flow, or anything else that might get people to turn out for a movie.
When Morbius failed, no one claimed racism. Of course when Blue Beetle crashed and burned, they blamed racism. (Explain Sinners then.) It is never their fault for producing a bad movie.
This is just a roundup of some of the reactions to the cope.
First, someone who is not one of the usual suspects. Amala Ekpunobi is usually more focused on politics, but she does push into the culture war side of culture. She published a video Hollywood Does It Again.
Then the usual crew...
- Disparu: Supergirl FALLOUT Gets WORSE As Media Hate Men
- Snarky Jay: SUPERGIRL FLOPPED... Now They're Blaming YOU
- Clownfish TV: Supergirl BOMBED and MEN are Blamed.
- RK Outpost: Supergirl FALLOUT Gets WORSE As Media Hate Men
Imagine if a vegetarian bought the popular (or maybe the 2nd-most popular) steak house in town. Then imagine that they didn't like the fact that the restaurant was serving meat, and so they changed the menu, either slowly over time, or all at once. Would it be the customers' fault that people stopped going to the restaurant? It isn't serving what the people want.
This is certainly what DC has been doing. And Marvel. Maybe all of Hollywood.
So why does Hollywood think their business is different?
They used to understand this. There was a saying. "It is show business, not show friends." I don't think that they understand that anymore.

NBC's Law & Order Recognizes Reality
It won't last long. NBC's Law & Order SVU actually acknowledges that women benefit from having a gun because they are weaker physically - Crime Prevention Research Center
NBC’s television police shows are often very biased against gun ownership. But a recent episode of Law & Order SVU (S27 E21 05 14 26) gets across an important point that women benefit from having a gun because they are weaker physically. Possibly we are reading too much into [this].
They usually just lie about the guns.
United Kingdom Moves to Outlaw Air Conditioning
From Konstantin Kisin: What the AirCon Debate Says About Britain's Climate Insanity
Every summer, like clockwork, Britain has the same conversation. The temperature creeps above 28 degrees, the country grinds to a halt, and the media bombards the public with hysteria about the “hottest summer since records began” and fear-mongering about the future:
28 degrees Celsius is about 82 degrees Fahrenheit, for those of you not conversant in the international units.
Naturally, this summer being actually unusually warm, a new level of insanity has been reached with a debate about the need to prevent people from using air conditioning. Some councils have gone so far as to force residents to remove air conditioning they’d installed.

Sony Deletes Movies PlayStation Owners "Purchased"
Purchased is such a flexible term. Sony Deletes 551 StudioCanal Movies PlayStation Owners Paid For
Sony plans to wipe 551 movies and TV shows from the PlayStation Store libraries of customers who paid full price for them. The deletion is coming on September 1 and so far the company has said nothing about giving anyone their money back.
Well of course not, because when you buy "digital copies" of anything, you are really not buying anything. You are renting the item for the length of time they decide you get to have them.
What? You didn't read the terms and conditions before you clicked on "I agree?"

Can You Stop the Rain
I entered the basics of this post into my drafts folder, and it promptly got pushed down in the queue. I have no recollection of what reminded me of this song. I've heard it before. I am going to guess that it came up in social media, because it doesn't sound like something they would feature on WXRT's Saturday Morning Flashback.
This song is "Can You Stop the Rain" by Peabo Bryson. It was the title song to his 1991 album.

Tuesday Links - 30 June
The Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) is up first with Canada is a much more dangerous country than the United States. Total violent crime in Canada is 295% higher than the US.
Comparisons of crime rates across countries often focus on homicides or murders. In 2025, the U.S. murder rate will be about 4 per 100,000 people—roughly twice Canada’s 2024 homicide rate of 1.91 per 100,000.
