While not assassination-related, the specific details of CIA’s anti-Castro “Operation #Mongoose” - causing widespread crop failures, sabotaging merchant shipping, sending in large numbers of agents in the guise of students, creating false broadcasts to suggest that anti-Castro insurrections were occurring… - are fascinating (better word: “horrifying”) reading. And they are certainly deserving of many decades of #CIA secrecy.

I wonder what will happen to #mongoose and #PocketCast which are not so prominent but widely used programs from #Automattic besides their prominent #WordPress .
The change comes after legal troubles, and (some portion of) backslash after Ma.tt made drastic moves against a competitor, which undercuts wp.com by only contributing very little and cutting features.

I dedicate this special video to Snow White "Snowy" the Meerkat, who passed away on 31st October. As a meerkat enthusiast who spent years dreaming of meeting her in-person before finally being able to last year, the news of her death was heartbreaking. I'm forever grateful for the time I managed to spend with her, and to all the zoo staff and volunteers at ​⁠ for ensuring Snowy's life was as long and happy as possible. May she Rest In Peace 🤍

Found this bike someone dumped at the trash can off the bike trail. Waited to see if they would come for it, but never did, so I checked it out. One of the brake cables is broken and the shifters are all out of whack, but it's otherwise in good shape. Gonna get some new cables for it, clean it up, and give it some general TLC and see if I can make it a wife-worthy bike.

UPDATE
The #Russian boat, which was sunk by the #GUR last night, was worth approximately $3 million.

This is a high-speed patrol boat of project 12150 "#Mongoose." They have been produced since 2000. There are #AGS_17 automatic grenade launchers, a #DP_64 manual grenade launcher, and two "#Igla" or "#Verba" #MANPADS on board the "#Mongoose".

Four pictures of a toddler wearing lettuce.

Person 1: I have read in ancient texts that this is actually a form of dryad.

Person 2: Once again [redacted], the 3.5 D&D splatbook put out by Mongoose in 2007 about making Dryads, Nymphs, and Brownies playable characters is not an "ancient text".

okay, it's not just me... the #mongoose #middleware is just really poorly designed. Really frustrating for those of us coming from an #activeRecord world where things are just a lot more mature.

Just wish I hadn't lost the hours I just spent banging my head against this. But at least I know now to just not attempt anything non-trivial via middleware.

futurefoundry.coMongoose Middleware GripesOne of the hardest initial hurdles using Mongoose was understanding the library's middleware or “hook” system which allows you to “hook” into the database transaction lifecycle to perform operations.

This is a mongoose, the illegitimate bastard spawn of horny dachshunds and house cats. They are rampant in Hawaii and, along with house cats, the reason so many of the state's native birds have gone extinct. This one was filmed in a shopping mall in Keauhou, near some sacred 'Ulu trees, waiting for me to leave my car so it could break in and steal my Loco Moco. They are very shady creatures!
