In racism news ...
An Oakland County Probate Court judge who was removed from her docket last week for "unprofessional conduct" made a series of comments about Black people and used gay slurs, including at least two against Oakland County Executive Dave Coulter, before her removal, according to audio recordings obtained by The Detroit News.
The six recordings were verified Thursday by Coulter's office and Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairman David Woodward as being the voice of Probate Court Judge Kathleen Ryan. They include graphic statements about Coulter, who is gay, and refer to Black people in the United States as "lazy."
The recordings are now connected to a state judicial misconduct investigation into Ryan, Coulter spokesman Bill Mullan said Thursday. Ryan, who was removed from her docket on Aug. 27, will remain on leave by order of the chief Oakland County Probate Court judge pending the outcome of a Judicial Tenure Commission investigation, Mullan said.

@riley The eu subdomain appears to be a redirect based on where you access it from; that same link changed the eu to a www for me.
Mystery solved?

@woozle I wonder if the non-eu subdomain hands out more cookies.

@riley That seems like a possibility. The fact that they're not just using Cloudflare suggests that whoever manages the infra has done some thinking about the options -- but someone like that is more likely to be thinking in technical terms rather than market/value-extraction terms, I'd think.

@woozle I have automatic warm and fuzzy feelings about a small business who would employ a skilled in-house system administrator.
