Tuesday Links - Gunpowder Treason Edition

Joel from The Ultimate Answer to Kings is up first with Holy crap this is the most evil spam I ever received…

Get a load of this…

Another seizure of a Hybrid 3D Printed Round Tube SMG which was discovered in a packaged along with marijuana by Brazilian customs suggesting these are currently being sold and smuggled across states.

From Liberty Doll - Dem's Gun Publicity Stunt Just Got Worse

Lucas Kunce's gun range publicity stunt may have been put on by a felon in possession.

Adaptive Curmudgeon - WYBDR: It’s A Big World

Ahead of me in line for the cashier is a woman. Nothing special about that but she’s wearing a mask. She looks reasonably fit and healthy. She’s got the standard issue “HOA Karen” quasi-professional clothes and the requisite asymmetric haircut.

Wombat-socho - FMJRA 2.0: No Expansion This Year

Pete posted on the league Slack that nobody stepped up to take any of the four possible expansion teams, but a couple of the existing teams may get new owners since the existing owners have been excessively quiet lately.

Pixy Misa at Ambient Irony - Daily News Stuff 1 November 2024: Expecting Someone Taller Edition

In other good news Windows Recall has been delayed yet again. (Bleeping Computer)

This is the update that collects all your most important private data - including things like readable passwords - in one convenient place for anyone to steal.

Miguel Gonzalez - When you obfuscate to avoid "stereotyping."

Adaptive Curmudgeon - WYBDR: Burning Fuel

I’m truly in the middle of absolute nowhere. Then, for no reason at all, I enter a place with cell phone reception. I have no idea why.

My phone goes apeshit! A zillion texts have been piling up and they all ping onto my screen at once. It’s overwhelming. There’s a bill I needed to pay a week ago. There’s a doctor’s appointment reminder for next week. There’s a bunch of well wishers who’ve been sending me texts without really “grokking” the idea that I was no-bullshit off-grid. (I think there are people in 2024 who have never been out of cell service and don’t really understand the concept.)

American Greatness - From ‘Clingers’ to ‘Garbage’—Why the 16 years of Vilification?

Statisticians tell us that the new non-clinging Democratic Party finds its greatest support from those who earn less than $50,000 and those who make considerably more than $100,000. These are the rich/poor bookends that surround the reformed Republican party in between.

And finally we have the opening of V for Vendetta.

Remember, Remember the Fifth of November, Gunpowder, Treason, and Plot.

I definitely will be watching that movie. How a government used a virus to strip all freedom from its citizens, and make a boatload of money on the cure. Seems more in line with reality every year. (And doing my best to not think about the election - tomorrow is soon enough for that.)
