The judicial record of England and Wales says otherwise.

But is she an officially adjudicated antisemite like Jeremy Corbyn or is this just some guy’s opinion?

The photos of flowers and Star Trek dad jokes cancel out the sense of doom.

Winning at life

I am wondering whether any analysts at the CIA or similar agencies picked up on this years ago in his psychological profile (i.e., the narcissism, paranoia, germophobia, lack of a succession plan, and such) and started making plans. Perhaps there’s a biotech startup in, say, Serbia or somewhere, funded in 2007 with opaquely sourced seed money, “researching” “cellular de-aging” or something, with convincingly faked tests giving just enough promise. The research is fake, of course, and the business is meant as bait to be acquired by a Kremlin entity or one of Putin’s human-wallet oligarchs, at which point Putin’s fate is in the hands of whatever spooks are controlling it.

That looks like an Iain Banks non-sci-fi book jacket

The Latin name of the species is “phoca”, IIRC

Didn’t they hit a window in some FSB/war ministry building in Moscow a year or so ago?

Both of these services appear to be dependent on BlueSky. I.e., if BlueSky ceased existing, or cut them off from its API, they’d die. In that way, they’re not that different from “Log in with Facebook” or similar.

One could theoretically make one’s own independent AT Protocol network, but not in a way that interoperates with BlueSky as a peer. You’re either a subsidiary part of its network or you don’t exist as far as it’s concerned, which is a much poorer value proposition than ActivityPub and related protocols.

No, because the AT Protocol is not designed for interoperability, but rather for entrenching the silo owned by the main node (BlueSky) whilst giving the illusion of being decentralised. It’s to decentralised social media what Microsoft’s OOXML file format (tl;dr: a memory dump of Microsoft Word’s internal data structures encoded in XML, and useless to anything that’s not Microsoft Word or a very precise emulation thereof) is to open document formats.

A heartwarming example of tankie solidarity

It’s not implausible that, among the enzymes in cat saliva, there are some which evolved to maintain the condition of the cat’s coat.
