Love it when the Hamburglar lovingly pulls the paper bag up over my still sleeping form, gently withdrawing the meat from between my buns

"Robble-robble" he whispers in my ear, wiping himself off on his mask before placing it back on his face

“These innocuously named groups, which are referred to collectively as the Tanton Network, hid their white nationalist ideology as they produced reports, gave interviews to the mainstream media, and testified before Congress about the need for strict immigration laws.“

💙📚👀
For others, the election of Donald Trump was not a surprise at all. Instead, it was the culmination of a carefully orchestrated effort to move what had become fringe views about race and immigration back into the mainstream of American politics. A single charitable foundation, the Colcom Foundation, established by the late Mellon heir Cordelia Scaife May, gave $63 million to anti-immigrant groups during the 2016 election cycle. Scaife May and her brother Richard Mellon Scaife were deeppocketed donors for conservative causes, and Scaife May held a strong conviction that overpopulation through immigration threatened the environment in the United States. When she died in 2005, her fortune went to Colcom, which she set up to support environment conservation, population reduction, and anti-immigration groups. It has over $420 million in assets in 2021. Most of the extreme anti-immigrant groups that the Colcom Foundation funded during the 2016 election were established by a single man, John Tanton, an ophthalmologist from Petoskey, Michigan, who believed that "for European-American society and culture to persist requires a European-American majority." In an oral history in 1989, Tanton explained, "I found virtually no one was willing to talk about this! It was a forbidden topic. I tried to get some others to think about it and write about it, but I did not succeed. I finally concluded that if anything was going to happen, I would have to do it myself," which he did. Over the past forty years, Tanton founded a fleet of organizations to pursue his vision of a white America protected by strict immigration laws, including the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), the Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI), and Numbers USA. These innocuously named groups, which are referred to collectively as the Tanton Network, hid their white nationalist ideology as they produced reports, gave interviews to the mainstream media, and testified before Congress about the need for strict immigration laws. Tanton, who died in 2019, has been called the most influential man in America that no one has ever heard of. Several of the groups in the Tanton Network are designated as extremist hate groups by the Southern Poverty Law Center, but the influx of tens of millions of dollars from the Colcom Foundation over the past fifteen years allowed his network to establish credibility. These groups used their growing influence to fight sanctuary city laws, promote "show me your papers" bills in state legislatures, stop bipartisan immigration reform bills, undermine the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, and unseat prominent moderate politicians. In the 2016 campaign, they finally found a presidential candidate willing to run on their anti-immigrant agenda. The Tanton Network also served as a pipeline for staff into Trump's campaign and his administration. Among the many key figures with close ties to these clandestine anti-immigrant groups are Trump's campaign manager and senior advisor Kellyanne Conway, who was a longtime pollster for FAIR; former attorney general Jeff Sessions, who was a keynote speaker at FAIR events and was awarded the FAIR Franklin Society Award in 2007; Kris Kobach, who chaired Trump's voter fraud commission and served as legal counsel for FAIR, IRLI, and Numbers USA; and most significantly senior advisor to the president Stephen Miller, who was the keynote speaker at a CIS event and who cited their reports to justify the administration's immigration crackdowns. With the election of Donald Trump, anti-immigrant extremists suddenly found themselves at the levers of power in the United States as many more mid-level staffers from these fringe groups flooded into jobs in the Department of Homeland Security, the Justice Department, and the White House.

Julia Stewart on the ex Applebee's CEO: delicious.
IHOP Applebee's She Was Passed Over for a Promotion to CEO. So She Acquired the Company and Took Over the Role Anyway. Julia Stewart, 70, a longtime restaurant group chief executive and serial entrepreneur, was passed over for a promotion - and then got the ultimate revenge. "So I went out and pretty much started with a new team, the best that I could possibly find. And to this day, most of them are good friends. But what we did was pretty remarkable," she said about her team at Applebee's. After around three years, she had managed to reshape the company and turn it successful. That led to a meeting with the former CEO and chair where she got some life-changing news. "I go in with my little graph, right? And I've got the chart going in the right direction. Stock has doubled. Life is good. Everything is going very well. I couldn't be more proud of the team. And I said, 'So I'm thinking it's about time to be CEO,'" she recalled. Continuing, Stewart said, "And he's very reflective; he stops for a minute. I'm sure it was 10 seconds. It felt like a minute and a half. And he says, 'No.' And I thought he meant, 'No, not today.' And I laughed and said, 'Well, no. I'm not suggesting today but perhaps for something you want me to showcase. Perhaps you want me to She asked why, and he told her that he "[didn't] have to have an answer." Asked how she replied, Stewart explained that she took a step back because she didn't want to react while angry. "I said, 'I'm going to excuse myself. I'm going go home early, and I'm going to reflect on this conversation, which is the only thing I could think of. And I came back the next day and said, You know, I've thought about it, and I think you're holding me accountable for everything. But you're not giving me the title so I'm going to go ahead and leave,'" she claimed. "And he said, 'Well, no. You can't leave. If you leave the stock will tank.'" Ultimately, the pair reached an agreement where Stewart "would stay for a couple months" to figure out a way to transition the team without causing financial ruin. to Afterwards, she wound up taking the job at IHOP, and she spent "a good five years" working to turn the company around. "When I got there, it hadn't had comparable growth," she said, adding that it was "really struggling" and lacked "brand image." After they were successful, she realized that they should buy another brand to continue growing. "I went to the board of directors and said, 'We probably need to look for an acquisition because if we don't find one, we're going to be ripe for takeover. But I promise you, I will be thorough and thoughtful, myself and the team, about looking for something that's going to be a wow,'" she said. As she was conducting research, she realized that Applebee's could be "really interesting." "Now, obviously, ultimately, you don't borrow $2.3 billion for revenge. You just don't do that," Stewart said. "But we did borrow $2.3 billion. We did buy Applebee's." After it was made official, she said that she called the CEO and chair of Applebee's said tha

Intel's 386 processor was popular in late 1980s microcomputers. From the outside, the 386 chip is a boring ceramic square. But I obtained a 3-dimensional CT X-ray scan from Lumafield, revealing six layers of complex wiring hidden inside the ceramic package. Let's take a closer look... 1/N
An X-ray scan of the 386 chip. It shows a square with a grid of 132 pins. In the middle is a square, the silicon die. Blue wires connect the pins to the chip. Spikes stick out all around the perimeter of the package.

Putting my hat in this #PortfolioDay ring.
I'm Johan and I draw mostly horror-adjacent fantasy stuff but I've been known to doodle the occasional cyberpunk goon too. Kinda booked up at the minute, but hope to be available for commissions in the future.
High-contrast red-white-black illustration of a sword-wielding demonic shadow figure perched atop a stone cairn. At the foot of the cairn is a dark whole where two white eyes can be seen. A robed figure seated in a lotus position on a pile of bugs wearing a big horned, four-eyed mask. The figure's hands perform hexes and from one of them hangs a severed ghastly, long-haired head in a chain. Black background, white/grey-and-yellow art showing a poor knight in a sallet helmet getting absolutely face smashed by a spiked metal ball-on-chain. Near this illustration is a strange, esoteric glyph and above it all, a barely legible black metal lettering spelling out MÖRK BORG. Illustration showing a nighttime urban scene with a cyberpunk character wearing an almost cthulhoid mask, a trenchcoat bedecked with chains and spikes, and wielding a large rifle of some sort. The figure is partly obscured by digital artifacts and glitching UI elements in vivid green.
