Not to mention that we relish the opportunity to take the identity back from the 5% of truckers who were upset that they couldn't go to the US because they weren't vaccinated. Their 15 minutes are up, and it's long overdue.

I rode the TGV once, and it was light years ahead of anything we have in the US now in 2025, I mean “like aliens dropped me in the future” light years ahead.

That was in 1993.

I was going to say that the Amtrak is not terrible - and I think the coaches are fine actually. But the food was terrible and we survived by bringing our own and eating in restaurants during the 30-60min stops along the way. 😅 And it is slow of course. The US not having high-speed rail is quite baffling.

The whole "Unbound Publishing goes into ad ministration--and the owners move on to a new publishing venture, which has also acquired some of the assets of the dying business" seems like a full-on scam to me.

I know it's bad form to post links to Bluesky, but one of the authors owed several thousand dollars by #Unbound has found a clause in their contract that means the new (and ever more fucked up) #Boundless doesn't own their work.

Please read this thread by Alex De Campi:

bsky.app/profile/alexdecampi.b…

And if you were thinking about working with #Boundless or its principals: don't. #Scam

@romancelandia @bookstodon

Alex de Campi @alexdecampi.bsky.social: Unbound authors, look at your contracts. Below is the standard termination clause (in late 2019). Boundless does not own your book. Consider emailing them and exercising the rights termination. Because if Boundless doesn't own any books, well, so, sorry, bye-bye, should have paid us. Quote post by Alex de Campi: Surprise, they actually likely don't own shit, as Unbound's actions trigger multiple termination clauses. By the time it went into receivership, it had already triggered the nonpayment one: Image of part of the contract, reading: 15. Termination 15.1 Either party may terminate this agreement immediately if: 15.1.1-Unbound fails to pay any mount due under the agreement on the due date and remains in default for more than 30 days after it has received written notification, 15.1.2- one part commits a material breach of any of the terms of this agreement and fails to remedy that breach within 30 days of written notification from the other party of the details fo the breach 15.2 The author may terminate this agreement if Unbound goes into liquidation, either compulsorily or voluntarily (except for the purpose of and immediately followed by a reconstruction or amalgamation) or if a receiver is appointed (it continues after that, but it's not relevant for authors)

It's acceptable to post the link I suppose, but you should verify first that one can read it without an account, which one cannot, so this becomes pointless, because asking people to create an account there is a bit much.

sadly that kind of phoenix company bullshit is a common feature of, at least, UK contract law, and it's usually done to shirk debts - limited liability companies don't pay their bills, go into liquidation, then a new company arises that somehow has all the same people in it, but none of them can be pursued for the bills. a little overlap, and the old company can "sell" all its assets to the new company for a token sum before going into liquidation.

but of course, those assets are usually physical. not licences to intellectual property specifically written to be easy to terminate! oops... someone wasn't paying attention there

A friend was in the Toronto area last weekend and got this scam SMS today. Quite a coincidence. Is it possible that the scammers are using Stingray-type devices to scrape phone numbers for this kind of thing? I don't know much about the devices or how they work, just that they exist.

I keep and edit these to train relatives. This one ticks all the boxes:
✓ Non-local (West Virginia in this case) area code (not shown)
✓ Scary language to throw the recipient off balance
✓ Chinese URL
✓ Standard scammer tactic to make the link (and any forthcoming) links active by inviting a reply

Cell-Site Simulators/ IMSI Catchers

Cell-site simulators, also known as Stingrays or IMSI catchers, are devices that masquerade as legitimate cell-phone towers, tricking phones within a certain radius into connecting to the device rather than a tower.

Much more likely that some app is gathering geolocation data through something like WiFi SSIDs and then selling the data.

It hurts me to say this, as an #American, but people need to avoid the #USA for 2 years, at least, 2027, when the #Democrats can get a majority in #Congress and stonewall #Trump

If that doesn't happen (which would be a serious tragedy), then 4 years. And if we get a #MAGA/ Trump president in 2029, write off this country for a generation at least

@RobotDiver

all there is and ever will be in this world is the good fight

whether in free and fair elections, or being rounded up into concentration camps, or any situation in between

never give in to hopelessness, cynicism, defeatism. by doing that, you only aid those who wish to abuse you

you fight

today, tomorrow, forever

this is our world, an eternal struggle. all it ever was and ever will be

all we can ever win is making that an easier effort

always turn up, always turn out: #vote

Yes, in 2021 JD Vance literally said
"[W]e have to honestly and aggressively attack the universities in this country... The professors are the enemy."
And no, he wasn't joking. The video is chilling.
