One of the nice things about streamers is you get to enjoy the wit and humor of people you’re pretty sure you couldn’t fucking stand being in the same room with for five minutes

I guess I haven't clearly articulated this in writing, but friends do not let friends without substantive IT work experience and/or a credible IT degree take cybersecurity career bootcamps in 2025.

They are up to no good. Shenanigans. Malfeasance. They are not a safe way to get a job.

You’ll now be able to get an updated coronavirus shot in every state without a prescription, according to the American Pharmacists Association.

CVS and Walgreens have stated you won’t need to attest to any underlying conditions and the questions will be removed from their online booking system.

I am glad that more people appreciate the moon (but not as much as a spoon).

On the sixth day of Halloween we honor Gremlins and Critters and such. This year in keeping with our emphasis on often overlooked Halloweenery, I’d like to recall those little vampire mutants from the old Quiznos ads.

Still from an ad for a turn-of-the-century chain sandwich restaurant featuring weird lil’ monsters that are like hamster langoliers? They’re wearing hats. It’s not great.

I just can't grasp the idea that he thinks it was excusable.

Like the person owed the 3.5k was definitely in financial distress.

I know he's withdrawn from the race but I still find myself replaying Jim Gavin's response to the question about whether he paid back the overpaid rent.

It's so weird - it was a difficult time for him and his wife and they were in financial difficulty..

Like whut?

I am re-watching Vampire Diaries and SO MUCH HAPPENS.

There's 8 seasons and halfway through season 2 The Originals are introduced.. I remember that being much later in the series.

Is this what television used to be?

We've been robbed!

"The unauthorized party also accessed a “small number” of images of government IDs from users who had appealed an age determination"

And it begins*, identity theft related to age verification documentation.

No-one saw that this might be a thing. No-one at all 😒

*Might not actually be the 1st.

Discord customer service data breach leaks user info and scanned photo IDs

An “unauthorized party” may have accessed the names of users, the last four digits of credit card numbers, and more.

We watched Delicatessen tonight for the first time in years and gods that film is so good.

The bed spring/painting/cello sequence is perfection!

24 hours on from the covid/flu shot and I 100% back @rahaeli.bsky.social's antihistamine protocol. Minimal side effects - took the antihistamine 30 mins before the shots. I was tired yesterday but no fever symptoms etc.
