РОССИЙСКАЯ ВЛАСТЬ БОГАТЕЕТ НА НЕВОЙНЕ НА УКРАИНЕ

За 2024 год российские физлица получили около ₽44 трлн доходов инвестиционного характера, включая доходы от операций по ценным бумагам, дивиденды и проценты. Доля таких доходов выросла до 46%.

К примеру. Для того чтоб сохранить свои банковские сбережения власть установила в банках ставки по депозитам 30% годовых, что только дополнительно разогнало инфляцию.

По ходу ведения

Я, пардон, увлекся другими делами и перестал читать всякую ерунду, вследствие чего перестал всякую ерунду писать. Другие дела - это очередной приступ home improvement.

Последние пару дней, к примеру, я провел, ковыряясь в потолке: жена мне поставила задачу установить в прихожей встраиваемые светильники (recessed lights). Дело теоретически нехитрое, тем более сейчас, когда заталкивать в потолок жестяные ведра больше не требуется, а можно цеплять плоские лампы прищепками прямо за гипсокартон. То есть можно обойтись без обдирания гипсокартона с последующей его установкой обратно. Вот я и решил обойтись, чтобы лишней пыли не генерировать; оказалось, что самое интересное при таком подходе - это тянуть провода сквозь горизонтальные брусья, из которых перекрытие состоит. На втором этаже, где есть доступ с чердака, это никаких проблем не создает, а на первом к этому вопросу приходится подходить гинекологически, через отверстия для светильников. Между светильниками сидит минимум два бруса, а то и три. Их надо, во-первых, просверлить, а во-вторых, протащить сквозь них провода в металлической оплетке, и если просверлить я с разных сторон худо-бедно смог, то протащить провод - хрена. Провел часик, пытаясь вслепую попасть внутри потолка через одну дырку в другую, и понял, что это одно из тех мест, где надо или знать тайные ноу-хау, или иметь специальный инструмент. Через две дырки еще можно случайно проскочить после долгих попыток, а через три - хренушки с гарантией.

Полез выяснять, как это делается, посмотрел кучу роликов, и везде этот аспект тщательно скрывается. Один ролик прямо назывался "how to wire recessed lights without opening the ceiling", там было буквально все, включая сведения про цветовую температур, CRI и углы освещения, а вот как тянуть провод - не было. Комментарии по большей части состояли из ругани типа "мужик, я убил на твое кино двадцать минут только ради этого, а его как раз и нету!".

Через полдня изучения этих роликов, однако, я все-таки наткнулся на мужика, который эту тайну выдал. Существует, как я и предполагал, специальный инструмент именно для этого занятия. Инструмент представляет собой гибкое сверло длиной в четыре с половиной фута, в рабочем конце которого сделано отверстие. Как в иголке швейной машинки. Сверлишь, значит, сквозь все эти брусья до следующего светильника, привязываешь провод к сверлу и вытаскиваешь все это обратно, всего и дел. При наличии такой фигни в хозяйстве вся затея занимает не неделю, а пару часов. Главное - следить, чтобы не просверлить заодно паркет на втором этаже или какую-нибудь важную трубу, спрятанную между брусьями.

Вообще с этим хобби, с home improvement то есть, пора заканчивать. Года мои не те, дрова пилить. Вот построю еще террасу и сарай, the deck and the shed, I mean, и уйду из большого ремонта.

Это я все к тому, что если вдруг тут кто по мне скучал, то я жив и вскорости продолжу писать обычную ерунду. Если, конечно, жена еще какую-нибудь задачу не поставит.

Помните Операцию Кассандра - расследование нарко-сетей Хизбаллы, которое Обама прикрыл, чтобы не мешало сделке с Ираном?

Так вот, расследование прикрыли, а сети-то никуда не делись, и теперь уже и в Венесуэле тоже. Наркокартели - которые, кстати, имели в годы бидона абсолютно беспрепятственный доступ через границу - работают в тесной связке с Хизбаллой. И с правительством Венесуэлы. 

Иран свою дозу люлей получил (недостаточно, конечтно, но для начала норм) - приходит очередь Мадуро? Может, Трампу хоть на этот раз удастся сделать то, что не удалось в первый срок?

Для нашего же блага

1. Treasury Department Says Official National Debt Is $37 Trillion - but the Real Total Is $158 Trillion
That means every taxpayer now is on the hook for about а million dollars. We are so fucked. Or maybe the next generation is so fucked? I'm getting older...

2. California Legislature Kills Wildfire Safety Bill Requiring Removal of Unused Power Lines
California surely likes their fires and they want to keep them.

3. No toilets on Virgin flights: Passengers must urinate in bottles and sinks
That's Boeing for you.

4. LeBron’s School Has Everything We’re Told Students Need. It’s Still Failing Them
Not one I Promise 8th grader has ever passed Ohio's math test, and English and science scores are dismal.
It's not about the money. It never has been.

5. Ten federal judges are anonymously venting to NBC News about their frustrations with the Supreme Court's handling of Trump-related cases. It seems they think SCOTUS consistenly overruling their sloppy and biased rulings will make them look sloppy and biased.
Wait, wait, I have an idea here. Hear me out. What if I told you it's because they are actually sloppy and biased?

6. $30 and You Can Become a Genocide Scholar
But those are The Leading Experts! Are you denying The Science (TM)?!?!?!

These are illegal then. They are not pardons, they are fraud.

8. Portland's iconic progressive Powell's Books announces mass layoffs amid financial hardships
Прелести развитого социализма. Хотя, конечно, если эти вонючки вообще закроются, то тоже большой беды не будет.

9. Portland mayor begs residents to donate cash for city's failed homeless services after spending $724 million in 2024
Он, очевидно, считает жителей города идиотами - и судя по всему, он совершенно прав. В конце концов, они за него проголосовали.

10. One of the final obstacles to dehumanizing Jews for these people is to remove the holocaust completely from their history, for Hamas sympathizers to say, "Actually, Jews are Nazis and WE are the ones in concentration camps and gas chambers and genocided."
Precisely. They want to use the Holocaust to repeat the Holocaust.

11. At the People’s Conference for Palestine in Michigan, a speaker openly calls to murder all Jews.
They are not exactly hiding their intentions. Everybody knows.

12. The mob takes over a Jewish-owned bookstore — as it's done regularly for almost two years. Montreal Police observe the pandemonium with a hands-off approach.

13. The Canberra International Flag Display features 110 flags representing countries with diplomatic missions in Australia. But one is missing: ISRAEL.
Fuck you very much, Canberra.

14. Egypt has just confirmed that it will NOT open its border with Gaza in order to allow Palestinian children and mothers in Gaza to escape what Egypt calls a "genocide." Egypt also just confirmed that it will not allow Palestinian children who need food to walk with their mothers to Egypt where food is plentiful. The reason for these restrictions, according to Egypt, is that the displacement of Palestinian children and mothers who are living in tents in Gaza would be dishonorable. Palestinian children must continue to suffer for the "cause of Palestine," Egypt said.
Of course.

1. Citi Executive Warns Stablecoin Interest Payments Could Drain Bank Deposits Like the 1980s Crisis
Translation: we want the government to protect our monopoly on interest paying investments because what's the point of buying Congressmen if they don't protect our business?!

Тут интересно заметить, что аргументы еврокомиссаров совершенно идентичны аргументам Путина - суверенитет требует контроля.

Of course, all Hamas operatives. There can't be any other "journalists" in Gaza, they just don't exist.

45. Germany: All parties except the AfD have pledged to speak "only positively about migration" in the upcoming local election campaign in the West German city of Cologne.
Такого уровня охуения я даже не припомню.

46. An Iraqi illegal migrant has been arrested for pushing a 16-year-old girl in front of a train in Göttingen, Germany.
He was supposed to be deported in 2022, but the authorities never went through with it.
Натурально, немецкие партии об этом будут говорить только хорошее.

47. On Saturday, August 23, 2025, at around 7:40 pm in Dundee, Scotland, a 14-year-old girl reportedly named Sophie was filmed standing between her 12-year-old sister and two adult men described as Islamic migrants who had been harassing them. The footage shows Sophie shouting, “Don’t touch my little sister, she’s twelve!” as she brandished a knife and a small hatchet.
Clearly, she is a racist criminal. At least British officials would think so. She is being prosecuted now.

48. Scotland locals are cheering the arrest of "knife girl" and siding with the migrants.
I guess they don't deserve freedom anymore. They are completely cooked.

49. Switzerland is experiencing its first migrant riots. Violence broke out in Lausanne after a 17-year-old drove a stolen scooter into a brick wall and died while trying to escape the police.
They invited the chaos in and now they are reaping it.

50. Rights of asylum seekers trump local Epping residents, Home Office argues as it appeals decision to shut migrant hotel
Да, в Британии это официальная политика - граждане - люди второго сорта и их интересы вторичны по отношению к мигрантам. Что интересно, они сами за это голосуют. 

51. Germany: Economist Thomas Vierhaus Fined €16,100 for Sarcastic X Posts
Хорошо хоть он о нелегалах не отзывался плохо, иначе такими копейками бы е отделался.

52. Saliha Raiss, a politician from Molenbeek, wants a Europe without Europeans: "Anyone who doesn't accept veiled women, anyone who doesn't accept Islam in Belgium, can leave!"

Q-anon, теперь официально

От Иноагента Маркова™ вчера узнал, что Трамп позавчера перепостил чью-то картинку, где изображен сам Трамп в позе пророка на фоне пылающего земного шара, причем с буквой Q в шуйце. Да не просто Q, а Q с плюсом, уж хрен его знает, что это значит. Вот, думаю, Яков порадуется; сегодня заглянул, наконец, к Якову на это посмотреть - а там про биллиард. Какое разочарование.

С днем знаний, короче, дорогие товарищи. Ну и труда заодно.

ПУТЕН ВСЕМ МИРОМ ПРАВИТЬ БУДЕТ

Путин поддержал идею Си Цзиньпина о глобальном управлении. Китай, как и Россия, и некоторые другие крупные мировые державы, не раз заявлял о необходимости реформировать мировой порядок. Он меняется уже сейчас, а старый уклад, построенный Западом, уходит в прошлое, говорит Путин.

Code deploy happening shortly

Per the [site community profile] dw_news post regarding the MS/TN blocks, we are doing a small code push shortly in order to get the code live. As per usual, please let us know if you see anything wonky.

There is some code cleanup we've been doing that is going out with this push but I don't think there is any new/reworked functionality, so it should be pretty invisible if all goes well.

Mississippi site block, plus a small restriction on Tennessee new accounts

A reminder to everyone that starting tomorrow, we are being forced to block access to any IP address that geolocates to the state of Mississippi for legal reasons while we and Netchoice continue fighting the law in court. People whose IP addresses geolocate to Mississippi will only be able to access a page that explains the issue and lets them know that we'll be back to offer them service as soon as the legal risk to us is less existential.

The block page will include the apology but I'll repeat it here: we don't do geolocation ourselves, so we're limited to the geolocation ability of our network provider. Our anti-spam geolocation blocks have shown us that their geolocation database has a number of mistakes in it. If one of your friends who doesn't live in Mississippi gets the block message, there is nothing we can do on our end to adjust the block, because we don't control it. The only way to fix a mistaken block is to change your IP address to one that doesn't register as being in Mississippi, either by disconnecting your internet connection and reconnecting it (if you don't have a static IP address) or using a VPN.

In related news, the judge in our challenge to Tennessee's social media age verification, parental consent, and parental surveillance law (which we are also part of the fight against!) ruled last month that we had not met the threshold for a temporary injunction preventing the state from enforcing the law while the court case proceeds.

The Tennesee law is less onerous than the Mississippi law and the fines for violating it are slightly less ruinous (slightly), but it's still a risk to us. While the fight goes on, we've decided to prevent any new account signups from anyone under 18 in Tennessee to protect ourselves against risk. We do not need to block access from the whole state: this only applies to new account creation.

Because we don't do any geolocation on our users and our network provider's geolocation services only apply to blocking access to the site entirely, the way we're implementing this is a new mandatory question on the account creation form asking if you live in Tennessee. If you do, you'll be unable to register an account if you're under 18, not just the under 13 restriction mandated by COPPA. Like the restrictions on the state of Mississippi, we absolutely hate having to do this, we're sorry, and we hope we'll be able to undo it as soon as possible.

Finally, I'd like to thank every one of you who's commented with a message of support for this fight or who's bought paid time to help keep us running. The fact we're entirely user-supported and you all genuinely understand why this fight is so important for everyone is a huge part of why we can continue to do this work. I've also sent a lot of your comments to the lawyers who are fighting the actual battles in court, and they find your wholehearted support just as encouraging and motivating as I do. Thank you all once again for being the best users any social media site could ever hope for. You make me proud and even more determined to yell at state attorneys general on your behalf.

В глубокой обороне

Краткая история одной трамповской затеи в избранных твитах, заголовках и подзаголовках. Извините за много букв, это я себе ссылки на память оставляю по коллекционерской привычке.

Vox:

Why crime is still Trump’s best issue
Trump’s DC police takeover doesn’t poll well. But the public continues to distrust Democrats on crime.

Rasmussen:
 
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 53% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of Trump’s recent executive order declaring a crime emergency in the District of Columbia, including 39% who Strongly Approve. Forty-two percent (42%) disapprove, including 34% who Strongly Disapprove.

Peter Baker (NYT):

Citing a nonexistent crime crisis, Trump plans to take over the Washington DC police and put troops in the streets of the nation's capital. Contrary to his claims, violent crime in DC is at a 30-year low.
 
Vox:

Take Trump’s militarization of Washington, DC, as an example. The move is puzzling, in that it’s authoritarian in principle but ineffective in execution. While seemingly designed to expand Trump’s ability to control the American public, the on-the-ground deployments are doing nothing to repress protest — in fact, they’re assuredly generating far more resistance than they’re suppressing.

Vox:

The real reason Trump’s DC takeover is scary
Right now, he’s doing authoritarianism badly. But it could still work in the long run.

TNR:

Trump Is Taking Over D.C. Police Because He’s a Racist Thug

Vox:

Why Trump thinks DC can’t govern itself
The racist history that explains Trump’s federal takeover of DC police.

Peter Baker (NYT):

The @washingtonpost tracked where Trump's forces are patrolling in Washington. Spoiler alert: They're not where the crime is.

DC Police Union:

DC crime since the announcement of federal control versus the 7 days prior:

Robbery ⬇️46%
ADW ⬇️6%
Carjacking ⬇️83%
Car Theft ⬇️21%
Violent Crime ⬇️22%
Property Crime ⬇️6%
All Crimes⬇️8%

CNN:

There have been two murders since President Donald Trump signed his executive order taking control of the department, which is consistent with recent weeks in DC, though none since August 13.

NBC News:

"We greatly appreciate the surge of officers that enhance what MPD has been able to do in this city," Bowser, a Democrat, told reporters about the expansion of federal law enforcement and its partnership with the Metropolitan Police Department.
Carjackings, she said, were the "most troubling" crime that plagued D.C. in 2023, and they have decreased in recent years. Bowser said that in the 20 days since the federal takeover, there has been an 87% drop in carjackings compared with the same period last year. The data cited also showed a 15% fall in crime overall in the district during the same period last year.
<...>
Several members of the City Council rebuked Bowser's conciliatory remarks, chiding her for characterizing the surge of federal law enforcement as helpful despite many Democrats’ warnings that Trump is using scare tactics to exert his presidential authority over the city.
"We should not, as the District of Columbia, be giving people the impression that this is a good thing, that we are OK with it, that it is helping the city. It is not doing any of those things," at-large Council member Robert White Jr., a Democrat, said in a video on X. "I am not OK with this. The average resident is not OK with this. D.C. residents, D.C. voters, are not OK with this."

WP:

Trump was right about D.C. crime — but still dangerously wrong
The allure of the president’s crackdown on crime in the District tests our democratic society.

AP:

Most Americans see crime as a "major problem" in large cities. Trump has seized on the concern as he deploys the National Guard.

Politico:

Trump Is Leaning in on Crime. Democrats Need a Better Response — and Fast.
If the president's recent escalation was an attempt to goad Democrats into declaring that crime isn’t a problem, they did not disappoint him.

MSNBC:

Gov. JB Pritzker had the perfect response to Trump’s National Guard threat
The governor pointed out all the ways the president and his fellow Republicans have made Chicago less safe for its residents.

TNR:

Trump’s Next “Hellhole”: Chicago. Democrats, Get Ready for a Fight.

NYT:

After Threats, Mayors of Blue Cities Seek United Front Against Trump
“An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us,” said Mayor Justin Bibb of Cleveland, who led a private strategy call on Wednesday.
