The Office of Congressional Ethics has been left defunct all year so far.
Do you think that's because legislators have stopped breaking rules and laws? Anybody? Anybody?

RFK Jr.’s Prescription for Bird Flu on Farms: Let It Spread
The health secretary has suggested allowing the virus to spread, so as to identify birds that may be immune. Such an experiment would be disastrous, scientists say.Apoorva Mandavilli (The New York Times)
@Okanogen I keep saying it: people’s relationship with abuse and abusers is the key to understanding their relationship with Trump.
If you want to know why somebody voted for him, look at who’s abused them and who they’ve abused in their own life, and look at how they feel about that, how they conceptualize it.
@inthehands @samiamsam @Okanogen @huntingdon m
I can’t say if any of the MAGA ppl I know personally have been abused or are abusers (2 friends, 2-4 family members) but a common theme I’ve noticed is that they did not have a supportive father in their life growing up, and they did not particularly like to read.
But then there’s this, which says RWA personality is mostly genetic.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@KydiaMusic @inthehands @Okanogen @huntingdon
another thing that happens when kids grow up in an abusive family is they either identify with their abusers or go the opposite way
i got a qualified therapist, healed as best i could and decided not to be like my abusive family
some kids decide they like power and control and become abusers themselves
@samiamsam @KydiaMusic @Okanogen @huntingdon
Both of those patterns are ones I specifically had in mind with that post.
I’m really glad you got help and did the work to help break the cycle. That is so tough and so important.

Boy, I guess you guys really showed Joe and Kamala. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/czje23jd779tbeige.party
Spreading the “Genocide Joe” nickname has to be one of political history’s all-time worst self-owns.
(I mean, self-own by the people who were spreading it in earnest, anyway; it was heavily amplified by fascist astroturfing once it emerged.)
But…like I said, I'm finding it hard to even be mad today at the fools who were repeating it. Mostly what I feel is just overwhelming sadness. What a damned waste. What fools we all are.

The image features a news article headline that reads, "IRISH MIDGET ACCUSED OF POSING AS A LEPRECHAUN TO EXTORT SEX FROM 26 WOMEN IN EXCHANGE FOR POT OF GOLD." Below the headline, there is a photograph of a person with curly red hair and glasses, smiling. The background of the image is split with blue on the left and pink on the right. The article text states, "A 3-foot-and-4-inches-tall Irishman was arrested this morning for allegedly taking advantage of credulous women by posing as a leprechaun and extorting sexual favors in exchange for a fictional 'pot of gold hidden at the end of a rainbow'." At the bottom of the image, there are social media sharing buttons for Facebook and Twitter, with the Facebook button showing "468K" shares.

Speaks to the company culture.
The protective value of HIBP k-anonymity lookups is significantly reduced because frequency data is included. The more common the password, the more this effect is magnified.
An example:
gist.github.com/roycewilliams/…
Using k-anonymity to return all hashes that begin with b2e98 is less "anonymous" when 98.6% of the passwords (by frequency) are the top one.

I strongly advise anyone in the US who has put off a necessary medical or surgical procedure(s), get it done; schedule it as soon as feasible, if said medical service is available to you (not a given, if you have access to medical care use the privilege while you still have it). Particularly if you rely on Medicare or Medicaid.
Not going to bore you with personal details (i.e. advertise them across the surveill-o-verse) but I have already done so.

1) indeed, we are in concept phase. Join us here, on matrix at #eu-os:kde.org or at gitlab.com/eu-os/eu-os.gitlab.… if you like to contribute.
2) @opensuse is well known, but it's atomic @kalpa does not have the layering support and tooling like @fedora or @almalinux
3) On the US: it's not so black/white.
