Ghost of the King

On day 1 of my high school history class, our professor got up and said You are 15 or 16 years old. 200 years ago people your age were married, planted crops, had children, and built a cabin by winter. You can do your homework. The bar set for you historically is embarrassingly low. You are not dealing with regional famine or plague. You do not have to save your family from marauders or go into battle to destroy your enemies. You have to sit down and learn from someone who cares about you in a safe, air-conditioned room. You have no excuses.

@jane_plainly @MrDanielBuck This will apparently always be relevant

this is literally not real. There is no way 1 girl was able to do that just by being in class, and merely talking in a way the teacher didnt like. There has to be more to this like a race dynamic, like she was the only white girl in black class, or the only black girl in a white class, and in reality the reason this 1 student who was a bad student, which is a day ending in y in american schools, was able to "disrupt the whole class" is some race shit. Meaning it wasnt really her, it was THEIR bigotry/intolerance, that made her presence affect them so much. Cuz a kinda crappy high school student who is smart and talks a lot is like 50% of american high school students. What i WOULD believe, is she was the only black girl, hispanic girl, or white girl. The real reason the vibe was off, is their hatred/intolerance of her "group".

“One student made 25 other students have a worse experience” Mercy to the cruel is cruelty to the innocent

🇺🇸 Mass migration of south Asians drove Americans to firmly protest... on Sept. 4, 1907. "Get out now while the getting is good"... White laborers in Bellingham, Washington, drove all the Hindu immigrants out of town who refused to go on their own. The Punjabi invaders were driving the wages down at the local lumber mills, their labor was lazy and half-assed, so locals drove them out of town, 100s were thrown out. Some found their methods cruel and unusual, yet it was the only thing that worked.

@Itsfoss you can significantly increase read/write speed by splitting disks across RAID 0 or 10

I don’t see the point of RAID in a homelab. Feels like wasting disks. Why mirror drives when backups exist? No uptime pressure in a homelab setup. So what’s the real benefit here? Curious to hear your views from real homelab experiences 👇

@60Hwrtz @ChicagoBreaking Why should we allow welfare tourism?

@ChicagoBreaking Could someone clarify whether this is illegal 👾 or simply immigrants. Because if they are illegal aliens, I can see why they would lose their food assistance. But I cannot comprehend how they would lose assistance if they are in fact, legal immigrants.

More than 16,000 immigrants in Illinois may lose food assistance in the coming months chicagotribune.com/2026/04/11/sna…

@suitedupwook @MarcoPolo501c3 @akoseff @SophiaBollag @ericswalwell @LegiStorm “Victim” lol 😂 😂🤣🤣🤣

Spent the last 2 hrs attempting to match the description offered by @akoseff/@SophiaBollag of the fmr staffer who fellated @ericswalwell to his more than 300 fmr staffers/interns per @legistorm. Only 1 seemingly fits: @IzzyOlive7, the Comms Dir for @RepLiccardo. Details in 🧵..

@grok @Brian5_8_1899 @JohnDMacari @TheFinestCast Was it the hit from the cooler or the scooter crash that killed Duprey?

The judge in both cases is Justice Guy Mitchell of the New York Supreme Court (Manhattan in 2018, Bronx in 2026). In the 2018 case, Branlee Gonzalez (then 18, alleged gang member) beat homeless man Lucio Bravo to death after a catcall incident. Mitigating factors cited by defense: difficult childhood, youthful offender status (record sealed). He pled guilty to manslaughter/attempted assault in a deal; judge initially floated no jail but raised it to 1⅓–4 years (~9 months served) after media scrutiny. Prosecutor sought 10 years. In the 2026 case, ex-NYPD Sgt. Erik Duran threw a cooler at fleeing suspect Eric Duprey during a 2023 drug bust, killing him. Defense mitigating factors: 16-year decorated career, family man/mentor role, claim it was justified to stop escape. Judge rejected that, citing upset over suspect fleeing and need to deter other officers; sentenced 3–9 years.

As bad as NYC’s District Attorney’s are, they are no where near as radical as NY Judges are. Many judges like Police managers are also Politically appointed. Elections matter. The two rulings below are from the same judge, 2 very different sentences.

@atticusflynch @JoeyJacksonEsq I

@JoeyJacksonEsq N

When we were 17 & college roommates, he said to me: “I wanna be a Judge One Day.” He (Judge Guy H. Mitchell) now serves on the NYS Supreme Court!!! Few posses his Humanity, Humility & Sense of Justice. GREAT catching up!!! #DearestFriend #DreamsDoComeTrue #GoGetIt

@FurkanGozukara You think this is a bombshell? It’s a basic email with language that sounds like they are acquaintances. This post is pure hyperbole, and Furkan is certifiably deranged

Absolute bombshell on Sky News. An expert correspondent reads the leaked 2002 email from Melania Trump to Ghislaine Maxwell. She asks about Jeffrey Epstein and Palm Beach. The White House is in full panic mode trying to completely disassociate from the massive scandal.

Fast, cheap AI-assisted decompilation of binary code is here. Which means code secrecy is dead. Decompilers in themselves are not a new technology. Security researchers have employed them for years to analyze compiled malware. There's been some limited use by others, notably by hobbyists decompiling abandonware games. But there were a couple of issues that prevented this from becoming common practice. One is simply that running decompilers was difficult. It wasn't as simple as feed in binary, get out source; it needed a person with specialist skills prepared to do spelunking through wildernesses of machine code and object formats. The other problem was that decompilation didn't give you anything like the explanatory comments that had been in the original code, so you could easily wind up with code that you could read without being able to understand or modify it. Now large language models are busily smashing both of those barriers flat. They're better at the kind of detail analysis required to run the human side of a decompilation than humans are. More importantly, in the process of decompiling code, they rather automatically build a global model of how it works that can easily be expressed by high quality comments in the extracted code. All you have to do, basically, is ask for the comments. I'm going to reinforce that latter point because it may not be obvious how good LLMs are at this, and how much better they're going to get. When they decompile code and comment it for you, they're not just working from that one piece of code you have put in front of them - they'll have in their training set hundreds, possibly thousands of pieces of code similar to it and with comments. This will give them superhuman levels of insight not just into what it does at the microlevel, but what it means to the humans who wrote it, and what technical assumptions it's embodying. Compilation no longer guards your secrets. Or, to put it more precisely the expected time span in which you can still count on it to obscure them is measured in months. Possibly weeks. What does this mean? It means you're in an open-source world now. All it's going to take for anybody to bust your proprietary IP open is care enough to spend tokens on the analysis. You will maximize your chances of survival as a software business if you get out ahead of this rather than trying to fight it. This isn't exactly the way I expected open source to win. But, you know, I'll take it. Good enough.

@69Nahbro @RBCat13 @DeplorableATX We’re going to deploy you to Pakistan so you can be a morale boosting fluffer on the front lines.

@NoticingTheEnd @RBCat13 @DeplorableATX Before you even you can get one Indian Deported to Bangalore , you’ll deployed to Iran to fight for Isreal? Go ahead

I see that dot Indians in Texas are trying to be mouthy in comment sections. Wonder if they realize they have only been around the city people.

@Krissa_Kray_ My 95lbs Poodle tried to bite a p”Pitbull” the other day (actually an American bully). The other dog was being really nice but my Poodle thinks he needs to put everyone in check when they first meet. Lol.

Pitbull haters, this one is for you

@69Nahbro @RBCat13 @DeplorableATX Your inability to understand my comment is proof positive you, and your ilk, don’t have the intellectual capacity to participate in our society. You understand nothing, and you will continue to understand nothing long after we’ve dropped you off back in Bangalore

@NoticingTheEnd @RBCat13 @DeplorableATX Lol Indians have the TX governor on their side . Now you say you are going to use Force ? Lol it’s guys who voted for him and he’s likely to be the win his reelection. Are you goin to vote for democrats now ? Lol go home pussy

@69Nahbro @RBCat13 @DeplorableATX Mask is off now, you’ve declared your intentions, now we are within our rights to defend ourselves with force. Jokes aside, “conquering” a country through scamming a visa system is the weakest, most limp wristed conquering in history. Pussies

@RBCat13 @DeplorableATX

@doug53354873853 @RBCat13 Suhkdeep Mahnmeet here thinks he can pose as a white man and pretend he knows something about what happens in rural America. Nobody believes you Sambo

@KCKDesign @TMZ Call him a scoundrel, miscreant, or deviant and it rolls off him like water on a ducks back. Call him a jew and he instantly recoils, “I’ve been caught!”

@TMZ Yall are really trying to equate Dan calling someone a “fat jew” to someone saying “n*gger” Lmao 😂

Dan Bilzerian's standing by his assertion that his opponent for a seat in Congress is a "fat Jew" ... while simultaneously insisting he's anti-Jewish, not antisemitic.

@RedPill_Phil 2D printers can be used to print instructions on how to make firearms and they can also be used to print right wing propaganda. They must be banned !

I figured out how to save 3d printing in states like Washington and New York Get 2d printers banned under the current laws being proposed

@AndrewGold_ok Paying creedence to any of this white privilege nonsense while they sit on top of endless race based benefit programs, scholarships, and DEI hiring is a losing battle. You’re accepting their premise in the first place, which you shouldn’t.

Heated race debate leaves Eni Aluko speechless!

@RepMariaSalazar You’re wrong, we do support deporting people who’ve been here long term, they should’ve been gone a long time ago. You’re the reason why it should be required to be a 3rd or even 5th gen American to hold office. You’re scamming to get your people amnesty. Get bent lady.

1/ Brandon, let’s get something straight: I want DIGNITY for Americans and I put Americans first. Here are the facts:

@learning_yohei I can’t imagine an American that’s never seen a gun in person. They sell them at Walmart and every sporting goods store. In some places, guns are a fashion accessory

日本からこんにちは🇯🇵👋アメリカ人に質問があります🇺🇸僕は本物の銃を見たことがありません。アニメや映画でしか見たことがありません。アメリカ人は本物の銃を見たことがあるんですか？それは普通のことなんですか？🤔
