Of course.

Not much blogitude today. Some links, though.

First it’s off to the doctor to get results of last week’s tests. Then I spend the rest of the day repaying a friend for an even bigger favor she did me last year. So I leave you with a few links and will probably have more to say tomorrow. Judge imposes a restraining order on Deerfield, IL. No draconian gun ban — for now. Outcome depends on lawsuits. (Tip o’ hat to M. in comments) Via Borepatch: Why cars with autopilot keep slamming into large stationary objects. They’re designed that way. Maybe there’s hope for a fee-for-privacy online option…

  • Thursday links

  • David Hogg’s family home got SWATted. This shouldn’t happen to anybody, ever. But plenty of gun-rights activists are noting that Hogg’s reaction is not at all normal for an alleged SWATting victim.
  • The financial scandal nobody’s talking about. (Accounting firms getting cozy and fabulously rich with their clients.)
  • Poor, poor Paul Manafort. He’s really just not very good at this whole understanding encryption business. (A lesson here for all users of WhatsApp and other pre-packaged “secure” communications offerings.)

    Politically incorrect tee-shirt giveaway

    It’s rummage sale season again. This politically incorrect tee-shirt (black, size XL, Hanes 100% cotton, very lightly used) was one of my finds. Not being a grandpa or having pretty granddaughters, I’m giving it away. I’ll give it away at the end of the day this coming Wednesday, June 6. If I get multiple requests, they’ll go into a hat and I’ll draw the winner’s name. Want it? Let me know in comments. Please use a real email address (unless you know for sure I already have a working addy for you) so I’ll know how to find you.
