I’ll confess: I didn’t have an assassination attempt on my docket for this week, but that’s how it started! As of this writing, we’re still mystified as to how the “U.S. Secret Service” didn’t notice a guy climbing onto a roof so close to the stage where Trump was. We are also mystified as to why no USSS personnel were on that roof (which the USSS director deemed too unsafe for her agents — mysterious!) or around it; but were, in fact, stationed inside it. We’re further mystified as to how the USSS didn’t act when numerous civilians notified them and the cops there was a man with a rifle there. So much mystery!
Verily various:
- Triggernometry is not surprised by the assassination attempt, while Solana offers thoughts and prayers.
- The “Adidas” company, in an apparent bid to improve their standing amongst the most unapologetically evil of the world, is using famed antisemite and generally slimy slut Bella Hadid to model their 1972 rebooted shoe. Yes, they’re using a “Palestinian” to promote a reboot of shoes first introduced during… the 1972 Olympics. The same Olympics where “Palestinians” murdered 11 Israeli athletes. Nothing personal, it’s only business…
- A thread on Biden’s state of mind, and Al Jazeera j’zeers at him.
- Prof. Hossenfelder: this climate graph has a nasty secret, and hydrogen is “the most dumb thing” for energy storage.
- “The Atlantic” suffers from long-TDS. It’s apparently incurable.
In the meantime, my “zemanim” beta-test proceeds apace. After some very good feedback, I’m closing in on the final version, and am working to get 8th’s innards working properly on iOS. Moving parts, lots of moving parts!
The weather has been ME summer, with the nighttime temps not descending as far as we would like. However, nothing too extreme.
