"Ralph rose to the challenge and in his quiet, dedicated, unselfish way did honor to... the code of conduct, whose preservation meant more to him than his own future."

Hm.

Both the Bureau of Prisons and the cabinet agency it’s in, the Department of Justice, have acting heads at this time. So I believe President Trump is the only elected or confirmed official in the entire chain of command, and he’s on a golfing trip to Florida.
The Appointments Clause of the Constitution is in part intended to prevent situations like this, in which the only publicly accountable official with authority is so lofty and remote that he doesn’t attend to the problems his unvetted subordinates foster.
Confirming this— By law, 18 USC 4041, the Director of the Bureau of Prisons is appointed by and serves directly under the Attorney General. So there’s no Senate-confirmed official anywhere in the chain of command supervising the humanitarian crisis at MDC. justice.gov/jmd/organizati…

“It wasn’t me in the racist photo. And someone else somehow chose this horrific photo for my yearbook page. And they didn’t ask me first. And the photo actually had nothing to do with my life. And I never once saw own page in the yearbook when it came out or for decades after.”
my own*

is that where we’re headed with this?
“Also a whole other yearbook editor did me dirty by including in a different yearbook a nickname that actually I didn’t have. I never learned any of this until now because of my lifelong policy of not looking at yearbooks I’m in.”

Ralph to retract his apology and stand firm as a racist eugenicist maniac.
Shorter Northam: Hey I rocked blackface and KKK regalia so often I assumed the pic was me and I couldn't even say which outfit I was in. But maybe I just picked a photo of two of my racist friends for the med school yearbook. Stick with me.
This racist, pro-infanticide creep is going with "you can't prove I had anything to do with the blackface/KKK photo on my medical school yearbook page."

Anybody who pretends it matters who is in the photo is complicit.

Ralph Northam has proven to be an ally to the black community in Virginia and the nation. I believe he is an example of someone who may have held hostile views of blacks & those views have positively changed. I adamantly believe redemption is key to civil rights
However, the GOP has no desire to join the fight for civil rights. They have no desire to end racism in this country. They've grabbed hold to the white male identity politics that fueled slave holders to Jim Crow to segregationist to Ike, Nixon, Reagan & Trump.
The GOP discovered medical school photos with black face and someone in a KKK robe that may or may not be him. Those photos were wrong. I would not call on someone who has proven not to hold those views now to resign but we don't live in a time where nuance gains traction.

A thread about a small piece of hacking history - memories of the DirecTV “HU card” and the pirates that hacked the smartcard to watch free satellite TV.

#tvpiratehistory
The smartcard used by DirecTV after the “H card” became known by pirates as the “HU” card. This was the third smartcard series for DSS (P3 card - period 3). Sometimes referred to as “the football card” because of the artwork on the back of the card.
Oddly enough, the “football card” was not the one OJ Simpson was busted for pirating. That was the previous generation of smartcard, the “H card”.

I didn't see anyone connect the dots on so here's an intro to what Sokal Squared Hoax really means big picture and why the garbage science of "grievance studies" is being produced.

Epic thread 👇

Nothing was actually wrong with the peer review system. 1/
The peer review system actually worked as intended. The recognition for good scholarship was likely correctly given.

Where things went wrong actually comes down to epistemology, a theory of "how we know what we know" & method used to obtain that knowledge.

2/
The science fields use something called the scientific method as a foundation for understanding the universe. And it is based off of an epistemology which says: "It is possible to prove something is false."

Science can prove by deduction, or contradiction. Both matter.

The person who wrote the @nytimes how to have a "real conversation" about race op-ed is both a racist and an idiot. That is the extent of my interest in a "real conversation" with them.
"I'm not racist. I just have a Confederate flag on my car to honor dead people I never met, whose feelings matter more to me than actual living black people. Also, never talk to me about slavery. The lynching museum is rude."
"Taking a knee during the national anthem is disrespectful. Worse than actual police violence against black people, which I don't care about. Cops are great. It's Obamacare that's fascism!"
