Typical Ellie thread.

How it started: [Bluesky Post by eleanor.lockhart.contact] I think people vastly underrate how much of the nastiness of our current cultural-political moment is *just* being online and exposed to all the hate in the world, bubbled up to just a few places and then instantly redistributed to all the other places there's material stuff too, majorly. but. How it's going: [same poster] like, it’s not a good plan to activate a machine to turn everyone in new york into a mutant when it will also kill them, but it may be an all right plan to send wolverine back in time to stop the evil AI

I can't tell if this was a troll reply or if they're serious. I'm going to assume troll; it gives me hope for humanity.
Marcus Hutchins: Every time someone talks about how public wifi is safe to use without a VPN due to things like HTTPS and HSTS, some random person replies with "man-in-the-middle attack" because they don't actually know what that is, and therefore don't understand that HTTPS and HSTS address specifically that. Poster: MITM can intercept handshakes, and thus renders HTTPS moot. Never, ever, do sensitive things on public computers. Logging into a router requires a handshake. aircrack-ng and airreplay intercepts these and uses a dictionary to crack the password. While not exactly MITM, it provides an example.

For some reason, this scene stuck with me for a long time, even though I could not remember the name 'Tip'.

Weird.
" That is what I thought," declared Glinda, calmly. <<What did he give you for thus serving him?*' "He taught me all the magical tricks he knew. Some were good tricks, and some were only frauds; but I have remained faithful to my promise.'' "What did you do with the girl?" asked Glinda; and at this question everyone bent forward and lis- tened eagerly for the reply. "I enchanted her," answered Mombi. "In what way?" "I transformed her into — into — " "Into what?" demanded Glinda, as the Witch hesitated. ^' Into a boy!'' said Mombi, in a low tone. "A boy!" echoed every voice; and then, because they knew that this old woman had reared Tip from childhood, all eyes were turned to where the boy stood. "Yes," said the old Witch, nodding her head ; " that is the Princess Ozma — the child brought to me by the Wizard who stole her father's throne. That is the rightful ruler of the Emerald City!" and she pointed her long bony finger straight at the boy. "I!" cried Tip, in amazement. "Why, I'm no Princess Ozma — I'm not a girl!" Glinda smiled, and going to Tip she took his small brown hand within her dainty white one. "You are not a girl just now," said she, gently, "because Mombi transformed you into a boy. But you were born a girl, and also a Princess; so you must resume your proper form, that you may become Queen of the Emerald City." "Oh, let Jinjur be the Queen!" exclaimed Tip, ready to cry. " I want to stay a boy, and travel with the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman, and the Woggle- Bug, and Jack — yes! and my friend the Saw-Horse — and the Gump! I don't want to be a girl!" "Never mind, old chap," said the Tin Woodman, soothingly; "it don't hurt to be a girl, I'm told; and we will all remain your faithful friends just the same. And, to be honest with you, I've always considered girls nicer than boys." "They're just as nice, anyway," added the Scare- crow, patting Tip affectionately upon the head. "And they are equally good students," proclaimed the Woggle-Bug. "I should like to become your tutor, when you are transformed into a girl again." "But — see here!" said Jack Pumpkinhead, with a gasp: "if you become a girl, you can't be my dear father any more!" " No," answered Tip, laughing in spite of his anxi- ety; "and I shall not be sorry to escape the relation- ship." Then he added, hesitatingly, as he turned to Glinda: "I might try it for awhile, — just to see how- it seems, you know. But if I don't like being a girl you must promise to change me into a boy again." "Really," said the Sorceress, "that is beyond my magic. I never deal in transformations, for they are not honest, and no respectable sorceress likes to make things appear to be what they are not. Only un- scrupulous witches use the art, and therefore I must ask Mombi to effect your release from her charm, and restore you to your proper form. It will be the last opportunity she will have to practice magic." Now that the truth about Princess Ozma had been discovered, Mombi did not care what became of Tip; but she feared Glinda's anger, and the boy generously promised to provide for Mombi in her old age if he became the ruler of the Emerald City. So the Witch consented to effect the transformation, and prepara- tions for the event were at once made. Glinda ordered her own royal couch to be placed in the center of the tent. It was piled high with cushions covered with rose-colored silk, and from a golden railing above hung many folds of pink gossa- mer, completely concealing the interior of the couch. The first act of the Witch was to make the boy drink a potion which quickly sent him into a deep and dreamless sleep. Then the Tin Woodman and the Woggle-Bug bore him gently to the couch, placed him upon the soft cushions, and drew the gossamer hangings to shut him from all earthly view. The Witch squatted upon the ground and kindled a tiny fire of dried herbs, which she drew from her bosom. When the blaze shot up and burned clearly old Mombi scattered a handful of magical powder over the fire, which straightway gave off a rich violet vapor, filling all the tent with its fragrance and forcing the Saw-Horse to sneeze — although he had been warned to keep quiet. Then, while the others watched her curiously, the hag chanted a rhythmical verse in words which no one understood, and bent her lean body seven times back and forth over the fire. And now the incantation seemed complete, for the Witch stood upright and cried the one word "YeowaP* in a loud voice. The vapor floated away; the atmosphere became clear again; a whiff* of fresh air filled the tent, and the pink curtains of the couch trembled slightly, as if stirred from within. Glinda walked to the canopy and parted the silken hangings. Then she bent over the cushions, reached out her hand, and from the couch arose the form of a young girl, fresh and beautiful as a May morning. Her eyes sparkled as two diamonds, and her lips were tinted like a tourmaline. All adown her back floated tresses of ruddy gold, with a slender jeweled circlet confining them at the brow. Her robes of silken gauze floated around her like a cloud, and dainty satin slippers shod her feet. At this exquisite vision Tip's old comrades stared in wonder for the space of a full minute, and then every head bent low in honest admiration of the lovely Princess Ozma. The girl herself cast one look into Glinda's bright face, which glowed with pleasure and satisfaction, and then turned upon the
