Btw Pantheon is finally out on Netflix. I think it’s one of the best animated series / best sci-fi series (animated and not). It revolves around the concept of ‘UI’ (uploaded intelligence) which feels like a parallel to AI. The themes it takes on are super smart. Very compelling. We binged it […]

Andor was one of the most potent and timely pieces of anti-fascist fiction ever seen in mainstream media. No punches pulled, no quarter given for misinterpretation, thoughtfully and intricately woven into countless and inescapable parallels to our own reality. We really need more stories like this.

I am doing what I can to get both houses of Congress flipped to Dems in ‘26 for many reasons but to impeach a whole lot of executive and judicial branch members would be near the top of my list #USPol

I was asked by a 20 year younger friend how my internet was back then. I needed a moment but then I told her the story of an IRC channel and how we made the day for a young girl who happened to be on our IRC channel. Because this is what my internet was like back then and I wish sometimes it […]

Hey there Amuuurica, This is how incredibly dangerous and stupid your so called "President" or as we call him, a dictator is: https://youtu.be/F2hN3JKZ-Go?si=2Scs67M532aWnblT&t=253 Shame.

If you saw the ‘no ads, weapons, genocides, Microsoft Teams’ slide: that was from my talk yesterday at #NBPy. It’s more about the list I wanted to make for myself, and why I ended up doing what I do. Content warning: marine facts https://youtu.be/X9gGYZ9G_d4

"Trump VP" is starting to smell like "Star Trek red shirt"

I fucking detest the idea of "standing with Harvard" but a big part of facing down fascism is forging alliances and coalitions with people you don't like. Higher Ed in the US is in dire need of reform, but do not allow your passionate distaste for the ivy league to lead you down the path of an […]

Just opened Careless People by Sarah Wynn Williams and hoo boy does this front matter quote say so much about Our Times. The Great Gatsby has to be one of the most relevant works of literature right now.

I might sell a bunch of prints to help us through some unexpected large expenses! https://hachyderm.io/@skinnylatte/113222578276820475

Vulnerability thoughts: * Most attacks these days rely on **chains** of vulnerabilities. * Things that get CVSS scores are almost exclusively CVEs, which are **individual** vulnerabilities. It's the vulnerability chains that matter, but the numbers […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

Trump doesn't have a sense of humor. He doesn't joke. He knows what he says is absolutely illegal. He's not good with money. He's not good at negotiating. He's not a business man. He has no skills that are valuable to any other person. But he is extremely good at getting away with fraud. One […]

Nice country ya got there. Shame if something was to happen to it. #uspol

Lutnick says the penguins are going to start arbitraging for the Chinese. This gets stupider and stupider.

Once we decided that opposing mass murder was somehow dangerous and bad, that was probably, ya know, a mistake.

Lately I've been mulling over the phrase "global war on fascism" - and I'm torn on whether to write a full-throated defense of the "GWOF" because of the obvious baggage from the global war on terror and all its excesses, including hundreds of thousands dead, extrajudicial imprisonment, torture […]

I've been wondering what it will take for states to activate their reservists to defend their own people. May as well declare a federal tax holiday to boot.

It's amazing to me that both the secular and evangelical cults within MAGA are apocalyptic in nature, with their own versions of "the rapture". For TESCREALists, it's the singularity. For Evangelicals, it's disappearing into the ether to "meet with Jesus" #rapture #tescreal #evangelicals #maga […]

So we are now unwilling participants in an international game of chicken. Thanks dipshit voters. It was our last somewhat free election. We will be the poster child for how to kill a thriving nation. Look, we told you this motherfuckin emperor ain't got no motherfuckin clothes. Do you believe […]

looks like WI voters had a message for Melon: "Devour Feculance" Thank you, Mr. Milchick. #severance #uspol #wielection #election

Goddam! Get em Cory!

1) I just heard Richard Chamberlain passed, so I’ll share the time an actor absolutely handled me as a director, and that actor was Richard Chamberlain.

So what exactly is governor Healey doing about it?
