Very scary what the alt-left is doing!
Folks, I'm hearing that the alt-left is doing something very scary. They're getting into our Democratic Party -- used to be a great party (when I was in it), it's not great anymore, it's about to get MUCH WORSE. Because we have the alt-left pretending to be Dems. They're Fake Dems. And they're fooling people with their fake promises. Even in St. Louis, otherwise known as the home of the forgotten men and women of our country. Folks, I haven't forgotten you. And the Republican Party hasn't forgotten you. We're doing tax credits. We're doing expanded health savings accounts -- the universal healthcare I promised. And nobody can beat me on the economy (and jobs). New numbers coming out soon, you're going to see TREMENDOUS growth there. Don't get taken in. Don't waste your vote. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! 🇺🇸 dailycaller.com/2018/07/23/conservative-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-rally

Laziest SpaceX Hit Job to Date
After Elon Musk called a rescue diver a "pedo", all sorts of people have been crawling out of the woodwork to bash him. But this bit takes the cake:
SpaceX — which Musk touts as replacing NASA and colonizing Mars — has been a literal failure to launch. So many of its rockets have burned up or crashed that Musk, for reasons unknown, has made a blooper reel.
Jesus Fucking Christ.
Northrop Grumman's Faulty Payload Adapter Reportedly Responsible for "Zuma" Failure
SpaceX celebrates its many failures in hilarious new blooper reel
I'll let you judge whether the other attacks in the article (mostly about Tesla) are accurate.
They're Gonna String Me Up For This.
So as to ensure that both sides of this decades-old conflict put a price on my head, I have - as-yet uninitialized - West Bank directories for both of Israel and Palestine.
I've devoted two solid years to trying to figure out how to list technology companies in disputed territories.
For me to list Kashmir as a territory in Pakistan is quite a serious criminal offense in India. I don't have any Kashmiri listings yet so I don't know how it will go, but quite likely I will have separate "Find a Computer Industry Job in Kashmir" for both of those sovereign nations.
The solution I eventually settled on this very night is that I will locate each company in the political location where the majority of its own employees regard themselves as citizens of.
That's quite simple for the Gaza Strip but not so simple for the West Bank: SodaFizz is located in the West Bank, and has more or less equal numbers of Israelis and Palestinians working side-by-side in peace and harmony.
I also replaced my "Buy Me A Coffee" Call To Action with:
Please Tell Us Where Your Company Is Located!
Because Soggy Jobs is a geographical index, we can't list you unless your website tells us what city your office is in. If you have more than one location, please list all of them on your site.
It usually works well for me to find all your locations on your Jobs or Careers page - but not always: it's quite common for technology firms to hire through their own websites without telling their applicants where they'll be working!
THX!

I Am Absolutely Serious: I've found lots of companies that I cannot list because they provide potential applicants with no way of determining which continent they'd be working on, let alone which timezone. Help Me.
I Just Changed My Opinion Towards Mark Zuckerberg
I found absolutely none.
While Microsoft couldn't care less about Bing Image Search turning up adult men sodomizing their six year old daughters, Google is quite diligent about removing kiddiepr0n from it index. Even so it misses some, that is not hard at all for me to locate.

Do you take pride in your work?
I do; quite commonly my clients hate me for it. If you ask me for what you want, I will give you what you need.
Is There a Cause for Which You Would Give Your Life?
I'm working on that.
It is said that "Courage is not the absence of fear; courage is to act despite the presence of fear". I was once that way but now I am not courageous, but fearless. This leads me to do things that others regard as... not so much ill-advised, but damnfool ignorant if not actually batshit insane.
The man who molested me when I was a little boy collected child pornography.
In my plain sight he molested two others.
The only child pornography that he created - that I am aware of - I posed for. To the very best of my knowledge he did not sell it; many child pornographers give it away freely.
I am not real sure I will ever figure out how many psychiatric hospitals I have been in. If I tried I could count my suicide attempts but I would have to puzzle over them for a little while.
I hold the vast majority of law enforcement officers in the highest esteem. They work hard to do right by us all; more than once a cop or a deputy has saved my life.
But based on actual results I have come to regard some law enforcement officers, as well as at least some of the national intelligence agents, not just of the US but most countries, as total slackers.
Were that not the case, the Microsoft Bing Image Search cache would not be so chock full of kiddieporn. That so many sexually explicit photographs of children are hosted on Microsoft's own servers is evidenced by the availability of the images on Bing despite that their original servers are long-gone.
Quite clearly someone is taking out the child pornography servers. I remain puzzled that the kiddieporn is still available from Microsoft. It could not possibly be that Microsoft doesn't know about it, as the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, the International Telecommunication Union's Child Online Protection initiative, INTERPOL and the like notify Microsoft's friendly competitors when abusive imagery is hosted by such sites as Google's Blogspot
Quite commonly images served by Bing come from Blogspot, but Bing continues to display the image in search results after Google removes them.
Law Firm Kills WaPost Exposé of 60 Minutes Producer
‘60 Minutes’ Boss Hired Law Firm Over #MeToo Story
One of television’s most powerful men, 60 Minutes Executive Producer Jeff Fager, hired a law firm that boasts about “killing stories” for a Washington Post investigation into him, three sources familiar with the matter told The Daily Beast.
The story was a deep dive into what CBS managers knew about former anchor Charlie Rose’s alleged sexual misconduct, but due to the aggressive tactics of law firm Clare Locke, the sources said, the story was “effectively neutered.”
Clare Locke also did work for former Today show host Matt Lauer and current New York Times reporter Glenn Thrush, three sources say. Both men were accused in news publications of sexually harassing women. The law firm was also recently hired by David Pecker, the CEO and chairman of American Media Inc., parent company of the National Enquirer, to try and shut down a negative story from a newspaper, according to two sources.
Congratulations, Israel! 🇮🇱=✡️
Folks always think, "oh, Israel is a Jewish Country, it's the only Jewish Country." But, now it's official. Now it's the law. New law, they call it the Basic Law: Israel as the Nation State of the Jewish People. And it says Hebrew is the language. And Jerusalem is the capital. Officially! haaretz.com/israel-news/israel-passes-controversial-nation-state-bill-1.6291048
And you won't hear this from our Fake News Media. But I think I should get a lot of credit for this one. Because my predecessors said, "oh, Jerusalem is the capital." But they put our Embassy in Tel Aviv. And they left our Embassy in Tel Aviv. They said one thing. They did something else! Can we call that lying? I was the only guy that said, let's put our Embassy in the capital. We moved our Embassy -- for very little money. Very smart deal on that one. And maybe you're thinking, "that's not so great for the folks in Tel Aviv." Believe me, they're doing beautifully in Tel Aviv. Because we kept that one open, it's not our Embassy anymore. But it's a branch office.
President Putin also is helping Israel. And we both spoke with Bibi Netanyahu, and they would like to do certain things with respect to Syria, having to do with the safety of Israel.
So in that respect, we absolutely would like to work in order to help Israel. And Israel would be working with us. So both countries would work jointly.
And I think that when you look at all of the progress that’s been made in certain sections, with the eradication of ISIS, we’re about 98%, 99% there. And other things that have taken place that we’ve done, and that, frankly, Russia has helped us with in certain respects.
But I think that working with Israel is a great thing. And creating safety for Israel is something that both President Putin and I would like to see very much.
"Red Sparrow" Mariia Butina Accused of Being Russian Agent
The gunslinging Russian woman accused of cozying up to American officials to infiltrate the U.S. political system — at the behest of her Kremlin-linked mentor and with the help of her American boyfriend — allegedly tried to trade sex for influence.
The "Red Sparrow" scenario was unveiled Wednesday in a government memorandum that laid out the reasons why prosecutors believe Mariia Butina, 29, should remain jailed until trial.
During a detention hearing in federal court on Wednesday afternoon, Butina pleaded not guilty to being an unregistered foreign agent and was again ordered held without bail.
