Hot take - even as a joke, I don't really like the idea of ppl blaming interns for taking down production
Even on the chance it happened to be true (and there are definitely cases where it wasn't an intern), if an intern was able to do that, that's a problem with the processes and systems in place

Irony has been tortured for years in an improvised dungeon under a split level in a suburban neighborhood of Palo Alto, and has just been found dead by neighbors investigating a strong smell.

This really feels like we are at the Bored Ape stage
I don’t want to seem out of touch but I don’t actually understand the economy anymore.

Two things:
1) I forgot using my Xbox 360 as a CD player is really fun! (and this St. Etienne remix CD is great)
2) ..but I forgot Xbox 360 game downloads are still broken so I can't get my digital purchases (:
I just wanna play BioShock! :(

If only it was a more standard mfa implementation?l, or better yet passkeys.
It’s kind of weird the mfa implementation for a modern system is fucking email. It’s not 2010 any more.

It literally never was. I suggested to some other NCMEC Board members when I was there that we should push back on the wrongful use of “groomer” to describe non-pedophiles. The answer, from Rich Kolodziej, NCMEC Board member: “we aren’t here to protect Democrats”.
If you were concerned about teachers “grooming” kids by acknowledging the existence of LGBTQ people, but you’re fine with the GOP hiding the Epstein Files and a president whose name is all over them, you’ve acknowledged what the rest of us have always known….
It was never about protecting. kids.

You are on track. These are emails received from his estate, not the Department of Justice's criminal files on him. The DoJ files are what the "Epstein Files" have referred to.

I like how full text search of every book and human thought ever was a SOLVED PROBLEM in 2001, and now dicks at search engines and my own phone – a piece of silicon faster to respond than God was ever imagined in scripture – prevent it from working, _as a retroactive infantilizing design choice_.
