- Jury in Elizabeth Holmes Trial Seized on Two ‘Smoking Guns’ to Convict Theranos Founder, Juror Says (Wall Street Journal) The money quote is, "The jurors created a star system to judge the credibility of witnesses, Ms. Stefanek said, and rated Ms. Holmes as a 2 on a scale of 1 to 4, the lowest score of any witness," unlike the "elites" that she conned, they were not eating her sh%$ sandwiches.

- Harken back to the late 1990s with this re-creation of the dialup Internet experience (Ars Technica) Someone went and used 1990s hardware (31.2K modem) and software (Netscape Navigator, remember that?) and the tones of a modem. Slow computing.
I remember this. Good times:

Regarding Ben Roethlisberger, why is anyone surprised when football players turn out to be violent, arrogant rapists and criminals?
THEIR JOB IS KNOCKING PEOPLE DOWN AND STEALING THEIR STUFF.
FOOTBALL DOES NOT TEACH SPORTSMANSHIP, IT TEACHES FELONIOUS ASSAULT, AND HOW TO DAMAGE BRAINS.
ANY CIVILIZED SOCIETY WOULD HAVE BANNED IT CENTURIES AGO.
...so we keep football, to justify and normalize violence, and give angry, illiterate twitizens an enemy to hate, instead of the government, or corporations.
Gladiatorial Games much? The Roman Empire gave their people "bread and races." We have McDonald's and football...
...with the predictable result that we are the most violent empire in the world. Modeled after the first Fascists, who crucified Christ, how could America be anything else?
