I swear these billionaires could announce they're going to start hunting us for sport and some people would still be out there defending it with they're whole chest like "you're just mad because you can't run fast."

My shrink has decided I have PTSD from my work. There's some therapy thing I'll be doing with a psychologist which should hopefully reduce the impact. It's called EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing). It seems a bit weird at first glance, but I'll give it a go. Does anyone have […]

It's infuriating how science can be so myopic https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2025/apr/17/mediterranean-diet-african-food-tanzania-heritage-traditional-healthy

This picture may haunt me to the end of my days. It is an ICE agent taking an axe to the car window of an immigrant in New Bedford, MA. Not far from where I sit now. An immigrant with no criminal record was abducted by this smiling man. An axe taken to a car window and to our democracy. 1/ #MomSky

Left: Canada election chances. Right: Australian election chances. I’d like to think the US administration for spreading liberal democracy around the world.

Can everyone please just move UI elements away from the bottom right corner of the screen thank you very much

After the recent CVE scare, we need resilience against future governmenal idiocy. Hopefully MITRE and Enisa collaborate. https://euvd.enisa.europa.eu/

Brilliant. Why didn't I think of that.

These people are bad at counting motorcycles.

If you think ‘not funding CVE is crazy, this should be a major news story!’ - just know, it won’t be, and almost every profession in the US is going through the same journey. From scientists to public health to weather to everything else.. essential services people rely on, sometimes which are […]

I boosted several posts about this already, but since people keep asking if I've seen it.... MITRE has announced that its funding for the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) program and related programs, including the Common Weakness Enumeration […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

It's been five years since I've been regularly #pumpingIron so I took the plunge today now the garage room isn't icy cold and is tidied up a bit.

Grabbed at his appointment to become a citizen. Is this who we are? 😕🇺🇸

I finally cleared out a load of crap in the home gym/battery storage/general tip room today so I can get back to a bit of strength training. I'm going to need to get some serious strength back for putting the solar panels up...

I always have a hard time believing this ... that people can behave like this.

Top comment on this article: “You are advising responsible honest people who have worked hard, saved all their lives… to scale down their retirement dreams because a one person has decided to destroy the US economy. Why not write an article about how to get rid of the real problem?” How to […]

I just re-discovered this exchange in some old writing: “I don’t believe journalists should use the cloud.” — me “I agree with you, but if you have, this subpoena applies to anything you have in the cloud.” — Federal prosecutor who was subpoenaing me. Anyway, my fellow journalists or […]

Hi peeps, RustBertrand, formerly of this parish, has long COVID and needs some help. https://bsky.app/profile/rustybertrand.bsky.social/post/3lmrcgb5nbc2j Please retoot 🙏

As I watch Starmer tear up Labour's prospects by attacking people in poverty, abusing those who care about the living world and appeasing the ultra-rich, I feel the same sense of dislocation as I did before the Iraq War. Anyone can see the disaster coming, except, apparently, the government.

At long last you find someone you can trust, someone who seems to care for you and help you. You find a safe place to sleep and they are always there. And then you see that the one you were ready to depend on doing something terrible self-tortuous and self-destructive. You can't stop them, you […]

I’ve been keeping an eye on the comments on the mainstream coverage of Recall rolling out. It’s 99% negative. Microsoft would get better buzz trying to bring Clippy back as a feature.
