oomf just sent this to me "this made me think of you" please enjoy

Happy pride! youtu.be/j3bOwiuAdS4?...

TIL: When the Original Star Wars Trilogy finally aired on Chilean TV in 2003, the network spliced custom beer commercials into the films themselves to avoid cutting to commercial breaks. these additional scenes turn Obi-Wan & Luke into raging space alcoholics who are constantly shotgunning booze.

One of the best things I've ever seen in a comic book

I am so so sick I can barely think straight. How am I supposed to figure out which of the 15 varieties of NyQuil I need? 😭😂

The thing is, "the kids" *do* use this term for this purpose (particularly in reference to going without tech on flights)… …and that bizarre fact is also, without question, *absolutely not* something I would mention during a conclave segment.

Event Horizon was awesome.

World’s most influential LARP group meets to pick a new DM.

Just had a call with a US-based manufacturing client pausing critical cybersecurity work because "we have no idea what he's going to tweet this afternoon." That's a direct quote. I'm 100% certain current policies aren't helping preserve current US manufacturing, let alone bringing more to the US.

Gooooood morning!

This graphic is pretty generous. The “relatively safe” places seem to be dwindling rapidly. But the message is good and staying up to date on this stuff is a daily trauma right now.

This is awesome.

New in PN: White guy DEI "Pretending that Hegseth got nominated on merit is ridiculous, but it’s a fiction conservatives have all agreed to adopt. To admit he’s not qualified would mean acknowledging that straight white maleness does not automatically confer expertise."

The “cause” of autism is that if we as a species evolved with only allistic people we’d still be trying to figure out which rocks to bang together. Fuck RFK. Who’s going to fix your tech or solve any other new problem that comes up if you “cure autism”? Good luck with that asshole.

Now might be a good time to stock up like you would have before COVID if you’d known that was coming. Whatever the fuck we saw last week isn’t over, and the folks fucking with you don’t care if they throw everything into chaos as long as they get to hurt people and make a buck.

I realize that complaining on social media has no impact. But Goddammit, please someone put baby in the corner, send the conservatives to remedial economics class, and get on the phone with the rest of the world to try and clean up this fucking mess.

I love how "going dark" can mean you're about to do black ops or it can mean it's time for a lil nippy nap

I propose we begin referring to the 1% as “yacht fuckers”. I think this will help clarify and elevate public discourse.

This is bullshit. Big business is likely able to make it through the turmoil, but spending is being cut, projects cancelled, hiring freezes are going into effect, and layoffs will be coming. The damage this is doing is going to hurt everyone but Trump and the other yacht fuckers.

Defence Ministry Update: Border surveillance has not detected any abnormal activity. We stand rock-hop-ready to rock, set to defend ourselves against all threats both foreign and domestic (elephant seals mainly)

Happy Trans Visibility Day! Now roll for initiative.

Look, I'm pretty proud of my own headlines, and sometimes get a pang of jealousy when someone comes up with a better headline than I could ever write, and well, the crazy bastards at 404 have done it again.

🔑 under-discussed point — why they were on signal:

My toxic trait is that I’m still mad about the 2016 Democratic primary where in the face of all math and reason people decided we needed to double down on the Clinton dynasty instead of letting Sanders do what he was obviously built in a laboratory to do. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

We just added more than 200 new items to the Atlas of Surveillance, with technologies like gunshot detection and camera registries in Pennsylvania, Texas, and Georgia.

Savor the beauty of the moment. ko-fi.com/sophielabell...

enacting fascism because you're afraid of an imaginary computer is the most Loser shit ever conceived. did you know you can go ride bikes or something

Google eventually ruins everything it touches. This is irritating.

We won’t leave the country while my kids are still here, but at least moving to a safer border state gives us more options since Iowa is looking to be one of the least safe places for lgbtq folks. We’re in the process of moving to Minnesota since Washington is so crazy expen$ive.

In case you need a break from the awfulness, here's an embroidered jellyfish I finished last night--my latest project to avoid doomscrolling before bed.

Another couple coins for the pile after an awesome web app pentesting class.

I’d like to see the same “fuck Tesla” energy directed at Twitter. It’s more deserving anyway, and propping up Twitter by posting about how bad Tesla is just moves money around for EM without impacting him one way or the other. Don’t get me wrong…yes fuck tesla. Just fuck Twitter more.

We just updated atlasofsurveillance.org with more than 200 new law enforcement agencies that maintain registries of private surveillance cameras. Search to see what tech your local cops are using.
