“SpaceX is happy to introduce its newest consultant, Michael Bay.”

As @swiftonsecurity.com always advises, read the damn logfiles. I just isolated the cause of a super annoying problem that has given our ERP email alert systems fits for the last two months, by correlating logfiles from three different platforms... ...aka "reading is fundamental, sysadmins"

...I immediately double-check on other search engines, because Google search is terrible these days, polluted with AI bullshit and advertising.

1980, AD&D. The Players Handbook was my portal to a lifetime of imagination and entertainment.

I expect that consumer-facing AI programs will continue to improve and they may become much more useful tools for everyday life in the future. But I think it was a disastrous mistake that today’s models were taught to be convincing before they were taught to be right.

The executive branch does not want to be accountable to the people they work for. To hell with that.

Whoa, the Space Empires reprints are coming soon! I finally got off my scaly butt and preordered the two expansions I didn't already have. In normal times, I might wait for the printing after this, but I don't want to assume normality past about lunchtime today....

I am not an educator, but as a former public school student and an older person who has learned how little I know, and how little it matters that I don’t know everything…I endorse this entire thread.

This is one of the truest, saddest, and most damning things about the United States of America right now. (And of course, I'm posting this on social media, which is at least a significant part of the problem....)

"Work"

It's one of the nicer Ways in the Courts of Chaos. Dara has an apartment there, for when she wants to lay low and sip many lattes.

We do clean up pretty good, if I say so myself...

Kind of stunning how much less stable the world has gotten in fully less than a week

It constantly blows my mind that we have elected someone so gobsmackingly uncomprehending of the gravity and responsibility of his office that he does not grasp how insanely dangerous it is to fire off comments like this on a whim.

Never connect anything to the internet that doesn't absolutely HAVE to be connected to the internet. A damn air fryer does NOT have to be connected to the internet. Just don't buy crap like this.

Thanks to space.com for this thoughtful review of my favorite boardgame! www.space.com/cosmic-encou...

What a devastating day. What a decisive moment for our country. We cannot let violence against elected officials become normalized. All my thoughts are with the victims and their families. This is the moment for our nation to do the hard work of choosing peace in our politics.

30 years ago today. Cancer robbed us of another 20-30 years of new Roger Zelazny books. Cancer can never repay us for what it did. Fuck cancer.

Happy birthday, @hntdove.bsky.social !!

"I'm ready to learn a new board game this weekend!"

There ARE kings in America. Show some goddamn respect -

Man, why can't the world just be normal for a few days

We drill into military officers that Members of Congress have Constitutional oversight rights, Members outrank four-stars in protocol, and even Congressional staffers are treated like generals/admirals. To see sworn federal officers manhandle and handcuff a U.S. Senator... I'm still shook up.

Evergreen. More Nemik, please 🤗
