    We are on dangerous ground right now, because of our secrets and our lies. They’re practically what defines us. When the truth offends, we lie and lie until we can no longer remember it is even there. But it is still there. Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later that debt is paid.

  • Because last time the feds aggressively went after right wing kooks a federal building was blown up. Not saying that’s a good reason, but that’s pretty much the reason.

  • You can sign up for ISW’s newsletter, they do a good job of reporting what’s going on from a fairly dry, but western perspective. Last I saw they were reporting that Russia is aggressively counter attacking in Kursk to attempt to dislodge the Ukrainians before the fall mud sets in. It’s not looking great on the front but there are quite a few indications that the Russian attacks are not sustainable long-term. That said, I’ve seen reports saying that for a while now and the grinding attrition has continued.

  • Just did some reading on the history of UNIFIL, here’s some highlights

    In February 2021, Lebanese journalist and opponent of Hezbollah Lokman Slim was abducted and murdered by Hezbollah while in a UNIFIL-controlled area of Lebanon.

    An official source within the Lebanese government informed Al Jazeera that, despite UNIFIL's shortcomings, the force had been responsible for regularly hosting and mediating negotiations between Lebanese and Israeli forces, helping to defuse tensions.

    On 6 April 1980, clashes between UNIFIL peacekeepers and the South Lebanon Army, an Israeli-backed Lebanese militia, began when the SLA attacked Irish troops based in At Tiri. The Irish soldiers held their ground and called in Dutch and Fijian peacekeepers as reinforcements. The battle ended on 12 April when the Dutch contingent employed TOW missiles against the SLA. During the battle, two UNIFIL peacekeepers were killed: Stephen Griffin, a 21-year-old Private from the 46th Irish Battalion, from Rahoon in County Galway, and Sevati Sovonaivalu of the Fijian Army. One SLA soldier, 19-year old Massoud Bazzi, was also killed.[239][240]

    Phone controller for Portrait orientation

    In my search for the ultimate retro gaming machine I’ve been surprised by the limited options when it comes to controllers for iOS and android. While there are plenty of controllers that you can clip your phone onto in landscape orientation, I haven’t seen any that are designed to play in portrait mode. I see several benefits to a clip on controller for portrait mode. Pinball games, Tetris, and DS games all play best in portrait mode. Plus, a portrait mode controller would be close to the original gameboy in terms of form-factor.

    Anyone else looking for something like this? Have I missed a product that’s out there? Maybe once I get a 3D printer I can cannibalize a Bluetooth controller and experiment.
