RudieRVA 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🇯🇴<p>Not a great MLB draft so far….<a href="https://dmv.community/tags/Nats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Nats</span></a> decided to save money and draft a 17 year old high school shortstop. The next two picks were basically also about saving money….the top ranked guys are still on the board.</p><p>If you want proof billionaires only care about their wallets, baseball is a great example.</p>

RudieRVA 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🇯🇴<p>The <a href="https://dmv.community/tags/Nats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Nats</span></a> have had their asses handed to them by the RedSox the last two games (by double digits) and now occupy some bad company with the likes of the Orioles, Pirates, and A’s. I’d call them the National(s) Embarrassment but that title already belongs to a certain spray-tanned occupant of the White House.</p>

Quoted from Crickey News:

"McCormack told Crikey in an interview conducted before the thawing in relations that he sincerely hoped the Coalition would reunite.

“I hope we can work through the whole process and get back together,” he said. “Taylor Swift has many breakup songs, some of them have happy endings, some of them do not. I hope this will have a happy ending, that it’s not like that one that goes: ‘We are never, ever, ever getting back together’.”

So, putting the #LNP - #Nats ' squabble aside for a moment, why would an 'elderly' politician use Tailor Swift and her repertoire to illustrate his hope for a good outcome. I've got to ask. Is McCormak a "Swiftie" ? I wouldn't think so (I coud be wrong and if I am, I'll never think of Michael in the same way). So, if not, why did he say this? Currying favour with a younger generation for votes? You never know with these professional politician, they'lll say anything for votes.

Crikey · Littleproud got nothing but still claimed a win. Where have we seen this behaviour before?By Anton Nilsson

Well, it will take a little longer than planned, but Well Done, Angus.

Congratulations, Jacinta.

We'll soon see the back of #Sussan and #NukedTed as there is a #LibSpill as a result of the #LibNatBreakup and a new party room vote.

Probably post 1 July when the new senate arrives, with a few Sussan votes departing on June 30.

That will swing the #Libs further to the right, so they'll be closer to the #nats but both will be damaged by the #LibNatBreakup. Sure, they'll have sloppy sex with the ex in the Prayer room, before attempting a trial reconciliation, but they're a spent force.

GitHubIs NATS really being changed to a non-Free license? · Issue #6832 · nats-io/nats-serverBy jpluscplusm

There's long been a view held by certain cynical entrepreneurs that they can go with #OpenSource to build a user base then bait-and-switch #SoftwareFreedom away once it is established. That's bad.

What's worse is to donate to an open source Foundation then pretend you have the right to "take back" the project later.

This is not a new phenomenon, we have seen it before and can spot the signs (like fake licenses). But this case (#NATS at #CNCF) looks pretty severe.
