Ferrari is holding a Formula One race in Montreal this weekend. Here's a still from the promotional video:

For those who (like Ferrari) didn't notice, here's a Google Maps route map from where the race is being held to the city in the photo.

AP: Trump says he has 'absolute right' to pardon himself after Giuliani plays down possibility

At least Giuliani had the sense to say that Trump wouldn't do that... but Trump's comments were in response to Giuliani's.


So, tell me, Mr. Trump: If you've done nothing wrong, why do you see the need to pardon yourself?

Germans chide US envoy Grenell for call to 'empower' right

New US ambassador to Germany under fire for rightwing support

Yeah well, the other thread hit 300 posts and we all know how the boss gets...

Any questions you got for me?

Here.

I'll bet none of you expected that two weeks ago...

As usual, forum members get first looks.  Sometime after Saturday I'll post it to the FFML (along with chapter 1, which I appear never to have sent them).

Enjoy, and watch the divergences build!

Rather than getting a lot of money, or a huge Bill, the target of this song gets a 'Table Dance.'

Usually, it's someone the Target could find at least moderately atractive, but that's just the center of the Bell Curve. There is about a 5% chance that the target is either physically perfect for the target (no clue as to personality) or the proverbial Train Wreck that you can't look away from. Yes, the Overweight, obvious Trannie is possible to show up for this.

Oddly enough Doug has Fun watching what ever he gets.

Russian journalist shows up at Kyiv news conference after death faked

You might have heard about journalist Arkady Babchenko being gunned down in Kyiv two days ago; it made the news worldwide.

Thing is, he wasn't gunned down. It was a sting. And the people who were trying to kill him - Ukrainians in the pay of Russians - took the bait.

Quote:Hrytsak said killing Babchenko was part of a larger alleged plot by Russian security services. The Ukrainian man was also supposed to procure large quantities of weapons and explosives, including 300 AK-47 rifles and "hundreds of kilos of explosives," to perpetrate acts of terror in Ukraine, he said.
...
The SBU said it received information about a plot to kill 30 people in Ukraine, including Babchenko, but had thwarted it.

I finally got around to making a GERWALK out of the F and B mode images, so yay! I modifed the arms years ago with... I think it was hands from the VF-11B(?)



For some reason, Kawamori-sensei's original design omitted hands...

So, in chapter 3 or so, Doug's going to end up throwing Usagi an iPod he picked up in another Earth.  Being an iPod, it's going to have a few thousand songs on it.  I know Usagi's going to spot a song called "Gimme chocolate!!" and discover BABYMETAL (and through them, metal in general).  I also plan on her discovering Lindsey Stirling, leading to a reference to Shadowjack's "In Which I Watch Sailor Moon" where Usagi ends up with a stash of violin CDs under her bed.

But I thought it might be fun to ask folks to suggest other things for her to discover, either individual songs, or chains of things where one song that seems like it'll appeal to her 1992 J-Pop sensibilities but it inexorably leads to something completely unexpected.  I don't guarantee I'll use anything, but hell, we can all have some fun with it in the mean time.

I'm sure lots of you are celebrating by reading all of the emails in your inbox with titles like "We changed our privacy policy".  Or you're getting emails like "we're going to assume you continue to give consent to use your email" which are, lol, not going to help with GDPR compliance.  Personally, I'm celebrating by rushing to implement new privacy features, and attempting to educate my project managers about the scope of the law.  I expect to continue to celebrate through the whole "holiday weekend".

Hope you enjoy the updates to the Privacy Policy I wrote for Miraheze!
