Oh the day you got married was the best day of your life? Well obviously you never found an onion ring in your fries

It’s done! 365 days of recording the local temperature and weather in a knitted scarf.

George Washington authorized 13,000 troops to march across the freaking state of Pennsylvania in 1794 to force a handful of pissed off farmers to pay their taxes. He used the power of his office to try to apprehend an enslaved woman, Ona Judge, who freed herself in May 1796. He's not your anti-statist libertarian hero, my friend, despite what your fake quote is trying to say.

OH: "it's a load bearing comment. When you remove that comment the syntax highlighter just goes insane and eventually gives up"

And here is George Santos as George Devolder, @devolder on Twitter, c/o archive.org.

He describes himself as an "Economist, Regional Director at Harbor City Capital."

I began regularly tweeting in 2019, first just to promote my books. This month I decided to stop tweeting not for any political reason or to make a statement, but because the product had degraded. My feed was filled with a bunch of nonsense that wasn’t fun to wade through. As a consumer (and content creator), I decided to go elsewhere. And that is exactly how it should be: platforms should be free to decide how to moderate, and consumers should be free to decide whether to go elsewhere.

Miss Ukraine's costume for the Miss Universe competition.

This costume had to be sewn by hand due to frequent interruptions to electrical power.

For scale, Congress' appropriation allocates as much in direct lethal aid assistance to #Ukraine for the whole of 2023 as Elon Musk lost in personal wealth on *checks notes* Tuesday.

So Greta Thunberg working with European Council got Romania last year to start prosecuting sex traffickers.
Andrew Tate attacks Greta, she replies, he reveals he’s actually in Romania. He gets arrested. You couldn’t make this up. 🖖😀😀

Read these paragraphs that were published in a 1999 book by journalist David Neiwert, one of our best chroniclers of the far right. This “Patriot” world view he depicts here, in the waning years of the Clinton administration, seemed so bizarre, so implausible, that it was unclear why most Americans should care about it. For a lot of us, the past 8 years or so has involved a lot of catching up and learning about things people like David had been trying to draw our attention to all along.

improbably, 2022 gave us a happy ending, just before the buzzer. just one, but still. a good one.

i hope greta thunberg is somewhere fucking CACKLING. i hope she is ugly laughing. i hope she is laughing so hard she pees a little.

i know i am.

I cannot keep this to myself. There is a website (radio.garden) where you can listen to radio stations all over the world for free. No log in. No email address. Nothing.

When the site loads, you are looking at the globe. Slide the little white circle over the green dots (each green dot is a radio station) until you find one you like.

I have been listening to this station in the Netherlands and it absolutely slaps. I have no idea what they're saying but the music is fantastic.

Thinking about password managers, what is the recommended Master Password format for a normal user out there?

(Assuming 2FA is enabled also)

What’s the balance of something you need to type in a lot with something that is Really Bad if breached …

Please vote and boost, I need some data for a non-InfoSec audience article

Memo to the media:

Stop letting politicians get away with calling asylum seekers "illegal immigrants" or saying they're not coming to this country "the right way." Seeking asylum is legal. Presenting themselves at the border & requesting asylum is "the right way" to seek asylum.

@micahflee Reminded me of this classic:

@molly0xfff
Such the difference between district courts and the supreme court.

District court: "My husband is a partner at a firm that did some work for FTX, and may do work in the future for those suing FTX. I'm recusing myself"

Supreme Count: "My wife was an internal planner in an armed insurrection against the United States. I see no problem here"

Profound boredom is the root of all innovation. This paper covers it well, but every substantive project I worked on started offline with limited technical resources and lots of time to kill (metasploit, recog, runzero): https://www.bath.ac.uk/announcements/social-media-may-prevent-users-from-reaping-creative-rewards-of-profound-boredom-new-research/

Offline doesn't mean no computing, just lack of boredome-drive-page-reloading. So erm, if you seeing this, drop into offline mode, find a park, and fidget until you find something all-engrossing to sink your time into.

It's almost 2023, and I'm ready!

@questauthority well it's not like "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" is a core tenet.

And of course by the principle of textualism "as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me." literally means only Jesus' actual brothers.

He talked about electric cars. I don't know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Then he talked about rockets. I don't know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software and Elon Musk is saying the stupidest shit anyone's ever said, so when people say he's a genius I figured I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.
