What is that?
It's a duck pond.
Why aren't there any ducks?
I don't know. There's never any ducks.
Then how do you know it's a duck pond?

Good News For Some
Apparently Parler has just hit two million users with growth rates off the chart. Things are a bit flaky over there right now, but they're working on it.
Meanwhile my GitLab server has died. Don't use dynamically-sized virtual disks with VirtualBox, kids.
I'm able to get in and take a full file-level backup, so in theory I can get it back, and in practice everything in there is also in my dev folder.
Update:
Holy crap, but GitLab is robust. That system was hosed, and I expected to spend hours putting it back together and reloading the data.
Nope. Copy /opt/gitlab and /var/opt/gitlab over to a new Ubuntu instance, add the necessary entries to /etc/passwd and /etc/group, and run gitlab-ctl reconfigure and it scans and fixes everything automatically.
It was so easy that I'm going to do it a second time and move it all over to Ubuntu 20.10 and ZFS.
Update Two: That worked, but I tried to go one step further and update it to the latest version and it didn't like that very much. So it's back to an old version of GitLab on the latest version of Linux.

This Parler stuff is just sad. Goes to tell that so-called "conservatives" are gullible sheep and no friends of free speech. The censorship at Parler is absurdly strict, but these pinheads still flock to it.

Free speech doesn't have many defenders. I just want to see, at least, that not all the censorship is aimed in the same direction.

I won't touch Parler since they insist that you indemnify them without limits if they get sued. It's in the TOU that nobody reads.

Uh Oh
CBS News is now doing straight reporting on the
totally not a story Russian disinformation I don't need to deny it smear campaign.
It's not much, but the dam has cracked.

It'll be like a preference cascade, because no news channel wants to be the last one cheering Biden when it all comes tumbling down.

The Media Can Die In A Fire 10 April 2020
Shelter in place and eat Vegemite. It works.
(Nothing wrong with that tweet. Decided to start the day with something positive.)
Stupidity has consequences. Let's ban consequences.
It's starting to look like the New York Times has one honest but stealthy sub-editor.
This keeps happening. Article comes out with accurate headline, then gets progressively updated until it's pure propaganda.
We're getting through this pandemic, at great cost, so let's try some communism.
Gotta be the New York Times. Nobody else could be that retarded.

The Media Can Die In A Fire 8 April 2020
Adam Schiff - yeah, that asshole again - wrote a letter to the media:
And then subsequently leaked it to Acting DNI Richard Grenell:
Okay, that one's not real, but it should be.
It's really touching how Cartoon Network is breaking new ground with blind and mentally disabled members of its audience:
As evidence mounts that hydroxychloroquine is a useful treatment for at least some WBSDP patients, NBC desperately seeks a cloud to the silver lining:
Damn those doctors, always butting in where they're not wanted and trying to save people's lives.
Also, unless the virus is also now a tornado, you mean "wracked".
The "Exciting flavours of Wuhan" tweet got taken down, sadly.
This was an unmitigated fuckup, but it was not the media's fuckup. For once.
Yeah, sure, let's allow a plague ship to dock right by the CBD of Australia's largest city. And then allow everyone to wander off without any testing or tracking. What's the worst that could happen?
Meanwhile, Vox are very upset that their media fellows might be required to do their homework.
Yes, they're venal, vapid, and vicious, that goes without saying, but above all else journalists are lazy.
So, before the great dark cloud, this happened:
CBS ran with the modified limited hangout when called on their bulshit by 26,000 people:

The Media Can Die In A Fire 7 April 2020
Suspended on Twitter again - for an entire week - for saying something like the title of this post.
So all the unutterable crap the media spews will be collected here in daily threads for a while.
Starting with this retard:
Aha! A cheap generic drug, off-patent for decades, but TRUMP has a small number of shares in one of the many manufacturers. HOLD THE PRESSES WE'VE GOT HIM THIS TIME.
In fact, he doesn't even hold shares in that company. He has an investment in a mutual fund that holds a small stake in Sanofi. If hydroxychloroquine turns out the be the cure for Wuhan Bat Soup Death Plague and literally saves the world, Trump stands to make dozens of dollars.
Unfortunately being suspended means I can't respond to the fuckwits at NBC in the way they deserve, which would get me suspended anyway.
I hope the cheque for fifty cents cleared before you published that, you worthless sacks of crap.
This is pretty accurate.
Living the Non Non Biyori life in Florida?
From the Department of The Media Doesn't Take Sides, Period, we have this fucker:
Jonathan Turley, however, is proving to be that most endangered of species, an honest liberal:
At some point you have to say, as I did to get myself suspended, that the Washington Post can die in a fire:

"Iä Hastur cf'ayak'vulgtmm, vugtlagln vulgtmm. Iä Hastur cf'ayak'vulgtmm, vugtlagln vulgtmm." The blood of an innocent is mixed with two egg yolks, half a teaspoon of pepper, half a teaspoon of chopped green onion, some flour, then mixed with mashed potatoes. The resulting glob is divided, shaped into circles, dipped in beaten egg and rolled through sifted breadcrumbs, then fried in peanut oil until a golden brown. Makes up to 10 croquettes and summons Hastur, the Unspeakable One, Him Who Is Not To Be Named.

A healthy family begins with nutritious eating habits. Family meals are not just a ritual; they are an opportunity to bond and nourish both the body and soul. Research shows that children who regularly dine with their families tend to have better diets and are less prone to obesity. Parents play a pivotal role in shaping their children's dietary choices by modeling healthy eating habits.

On the other hand, Ace of Spades is on the verge of calling for political commissars on every flag officer in the military because McRaven is a fool.

The word you are looking for, Chris, is "against".
He's not called Eric "nuke the peasants" Swalwell for nothing
Theresa May, making every other politician look good. Except maybe Eric.
The only people dumber than Matt Yglesias are his followers - and he can prove it.
I set up a new account - not now, a while back. Followed one person. Got suspended.
