Photography of the Nazi invasion, Kiev Ukraine, 84 years ago today. This photo is a perfect composition, artistically. And we know it’s just day one of a 1,000 days of horror ahead.

Ian, I emailed you a couple years ago when I felt Bench had become worse and worse for customers. I was sad to discover that you’d left and I felt the difference was definitely attributable to your departure. I switched providers shortly thereafter.

So, speaking as a former customer, the tragedy and timeline you mention pass the sniff test for me. So glad your next venture has been going well for you!

“Hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs is now being held alongside fallen cryptocurrency tycoon Sam Bankman-Fried in a federal jail in New York, people familiar with the matter said.

Both men are in the same dormitory-style unit in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, which often houses high-profile inmates, the people said. Combs has been jailed since his arrest last week on sex-trafficking charges, but he was only transferred to Bankman-Fried’s unit of the MDC on Monday, they said. Combs has pleaded not guilty.

Bankman-Fried, founder of the failed FTX crypto exchange, was sentenced to 25 years in prison earlier this year after a jury convicted him of fraud and conspiracy. The judge who oversaw Bankman-Fried’s trial agreed to let him stay temporarily at the Brooklyn jail while he is working on his appeal, before he is moved to a federal prison to serve out his sentence.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons declined to comment.”

It’s been 15 years, perhaps it’s time for another dose of this?:

Apologize to HN: Sorry for Trolling 2 points by benreesman on April 17, 2009 | hide | past | favorite | 2 comments

I was reading my comment history and came to the horrible conclusion that I am a troll. In particular I'm the worst kind of troll, the kind where it's not always clear that I'm trolling. My childlike enthusiasm for debate (or maybe just my lousy social skills) have led me to say things that are nasty, inflammatory, sometimes clearly false, and ultimately that I have no desire to see appear next to my name.

So if I've offended any of you then I'm really sorry. I promise to reform, effective immediately.

Regards, Ben

Scholar’s Stage is an internet treasure.

Amazing that the original Mac only sold 250,000 units in 1984. Promising for the Vision Pro.
