    @lufins-dad said in ‘Whitelist,’ ‘Blacklist’: The New Debate Over Security Terminology: @george-k said in ‘Whitelist,’ ‘Blacklist’: The New Debate Over Security Terminology: Don't get me started on "male" and "female" connectors. All kinds of new adapters today… That reminds me of the Apollo Soyuz mission I remember that they had to jump through hoops to make sure the mating adapter used to dock the spacecraft was neither male nor female. Because it would have been a slight to have one country or the other be the female.

    $500 again. A grandmother from Indiana who participated in the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol was sentenced Wednesday to three years of probation for her participation in the riot, making her the first person sentenced in the attack. Anna Morgan-Lloyd, a 49-year-old hair salon owner, pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor count of parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a capitol building, which carries a maximum sentence of six months in jail and a $5,000 fine. Washington, D.C., District Judge Royce Lamberth also ordered her to complete 40 hours of community service and pay $500 in restitution. The sentence is what the defense had asked for, and the government supported. Morgan-Lloyd, who prosecutors said did not participate in any of the violence at the Capitol, posted on Facebook after the attack that it was the "best ... day ever," adding a curse word to the description. Prior to sentencing, prosecutors said they found the sentence "appropriate," despite what they called Morgan-Lloyd's initial "ill-considered and misguided commentary," in part because there was no evidence that she preplanned her attack or incited others, and because she worked with investigators, admitted to her actions, and expressed contrition.

    @aqua-letifer said in FightForSchools.com. (HEY LD! Did you get this??): Like I said, what's interesting to me is that as far as Loudoun County and much of the internet is concerned, I'm pretty apolitical. Are there cracks showing in the dam? Is the quiet middle going to start taking a side? I wonder how long they can hold out before they pretty much have to get involved. They did in NJ and forced a school board to take back the un-naming of all holidays.

    Her boyfriend was killed three days prior (not by cops) is the only thing I see as a driver. But of course that’s all we really know about her. Happy we see the human side of a cop in the media. For most people being associated with the death of someone, anyone is very very hard.

    @george-k said in Kim is looking a little shaky: "North Korea is in the middle of an economic crisis" That "crisis" has been going on for, what, 20 years now? NPR comments on the "slimmed down" Kim: https://www.npr.org/2021/06/16/1007094798/north-korea-kim-jong-un-weight-loss-thinner-causing-health-speculation [image: ap21167145473059_wide-0d2dfdb975162eb51ec70df946fad3734cf85d9b-s1400-c85.webp] These photos are 4 months apart. It’s impossible that his hair didn’t grow in four months.

    @taiwan_girl said in Mocking Trump policies may be downfall for Dems: @copper The root cause is problems in the country of origen. To me at least, that is pretty obvious. And the easy answer? Make the USA worse than the country of origin. She’s off to a good start.
