Reporters need to stop feeding at Elon's trough: it allows them to ignore what people think in favor of chewing on MAGA's cud. What the polls say: *Americans split about protesters, but oppose Trump's response more *Trump's approval ratings on immigration and deportations slide into the negative RE: bsky.app/profile/did:plc:yjsxh…

ugh, I find the empty space pleasantly meditative, not "eerie". What the hell is "eerie" about taking a break from the force-feeding of attention-sucking marketing material that is intended to be deliberately jarring, grating, and displacing of the media we're trying to consume? It's intentionally mentally painful, and we're celebrating the expansion of that?
Archaeologists have uncovered the deepest known shipwreck in French territorial waters—more than 2.5 kilometers (approximately 8,200 feet) deep under the
I called the Nebraska Senators and explained I would no longer buy meat from any major producer. Between the raids leaving the plant shirt staffed, thus ensuring corners will be cut and the workers that are left will be in danger, add the fact there are no longer any health inspections means any product is too dangerous to trust. I even called the National Beef Association.
Fantastic conversation with author Kevin Fagan and Erin Baldassari at the Mechanics' Institute last night. I've been a fan of Fagan's journalism for years, and it was great to hear him talk about THE LOST AND THE FOUND and his decades of covering homelessness.
"How in the hell did we #GenX turn out the way we have" is crossing my mind as I play Frogger with my RetroPI sitting on the same couch, although reupholstered since, that I played Frogger on when I was a kid in the 80s.
"Las Vegas police arrest #ICE protesters—for hurting their feelings saying, "Honor your oath."
Police yell, "This isn't F-ing L.A." while handcuffing the woman. "Go back to LA."
No warning given before dozen officers rushed them—for making rude comments & "putting a camera in my face"—neither of which is agst the law." -LT History
Climate.gov is the main source of timely climate-related information for the public. It will stop publishing new information because the Trump administration laid off everyone who worked on it.
The Revel Music Festival is an annual gathering by the beautiful Similkameen River in Snaza’ist, also known as Hedley, BC. I'm delighted that I'll be returning to the festival to share music again this year.

A superb documentary film, Lover of Men: The Untold History of Abraham Lincoln, makes a strong case that America actually reached that milestone 175 years ago, that, on the precipice of civil war, American voters put a queer president in the White House. medium.com/prismnpen/will-amer…
American voters have managed to look past sexual orientation to elect openly queer mayors, governors, legislators, and senators. Trans politicians have been voted into state office and one, Sarah…

BOOM! I was looking for some way to say somethin like that but you said it better. They absolutely derive power from it. In fact, they feed on our revulsion. So calling them hypocrites is just flattering these malignant scumbags.
that was the example used in our security clearance class to explain "cumulative disclosure", i.e. how multiple unclassified pieces of data could be correlated to infer classified info. 😀
@dougfir @paul_ipv6 When the Red October book came out, my dad was working on submarine stuff. Apparently the book used tons of classified codewords, all incorrectly.
@paul_ipv6 The "Pentagon Pizza Attack" was cited in my CISSP training course years ago although we were given to understand that the same amount of pizza was now ordered every night and securely destroyed onsite to prevent inference attacks like this. Maybe DOGE stopped the pizza orders?
when i was assigned to the pentagon and working midnight shift, i went out to the parking lot via the loading dock one night. saw a really large cat dash under a bush. then i realized that the "cat" had a hairless tail...
@paul_ipv6 That said, our instructor was apparently an ex-US Army PsyOps guy who also listed the Rubber Hose Attack and the Brown Envelope Attack as "non-traditional cryptanalysis techniques" - I was one of the minority who were not current or ex-military in that class!
@MonkeyKing @paul_ipv6 as an armchair opinion-haver finishing the first beer of the night, I question how much opsec is actually useful and needed in situations like this, giving away that they are busy and ordering in isn't the worst information to share, it lets adversaries know that things are being taken seriously, and doesn't give actionable info on targets or methods or whatever. Sometimes you _want_ you adversaries to know that you know and not be surprised, national security surprises are bad IMHO. This may be a stupid take, but why not, given that there are spies and turncoats and have been throughout history, how much strife has been avoided *because* our adversaries could peek behind the curtain and assure themselves of our intentions and capabilities rather than fill the void with paranoid fantasy. Having a general idea what your adversaries are up to keeps unpleasant

I expect the Pentagon to closely watch as these two chucklefucks Israel/Iran duke it out to see who is the stupidist asshole in the middle east, it's a very competitive contest, lol 😆
@raven667 @MonkeyKing @paul_ipv6 My heavy heart wonders if there is anyone clever enough left in the higher echelons of the Pentagon to do any real analysis. They fired all the brains...
"Not confining its analysis to pizza, the account noted three hours later that a gay bar near the Pentagon had “abnormally low traffic for a Thursday night”, and said this probably pointed to “a busy night at the Pentagon”.
@n_dimension guess the DoD will have to make sure it sends the right number of people to the gay bar every night to prevent further Inference attacks...
