Folks, be the cool human who deletes ALL the phone profiles from the automobile console when you return the rental, not just yours. Take care of your uninformed human siblings.

If you're going to claim that a presidential election is stolen, you need a better smoking gun than "the former owner of a company that made a household plug-in surge protector that was used by some counties to protect some voting equipment supported one of the candidates".

Couldn’t settle on a Halloween costume this year.

So instead my wife and I drove around the neighborhood, distributing red balloons to storm drains.

Yesterday, 10 years ago, Let's Encrypt issued their first #tls #certificate to the domain name `helloworld.letsencrypt.org`. Since then, they issued 7 billion certificates.

To quote Borat: "Great success!"

Congrats!

The assassination of Charlie Kirk makes we worry we can no longer have peaceful discussions of whether gays should be stoned to death or civil and collegial debates about whether black people are inherently inferior. Our culture will suffer.

I think we have to admit that one reason there's no "liberal Joe Rogan" is that anyone on the left who actually starts acting a little wild, drawing a little attention, making a little fuss ... immediately draws shitloads of criticism & scolding from other people on the left.

Whether the strike was “preemptive” or “unprovoked” depends on the color of the skin of those who launched dropped the bombs

Look, Nazis picked Jews as their targets the last go round because they were about 1% of the German population, and powerless.

They picked trans people this time for the same reason. They're rancid cowards and ensuring that worse happens to them, than to their targets, is the only answer.

This should be the biggest new story in the country. The "Big Beautiful Bill" contains a provision effectively stripping courts of their ability to hold federal officials in Contempt of Court.

A tiny story about creating community:

When I started to attend the ACM’s CHI (Computer Human Interaction) conference in the late 1980s, I didn’t know any other lgbtq people who worked in my field. At that time being out and gay was still really fraught, and could get you fired or ostracized in […]

Trump's official denouncement of former CISA director Chris Krebs (in the form of a "Presidential Memorandum") is chilling in substance and utterly Stalinesque in tone. By threatening anyone who hires him, it aims to render Krebs effectively unemployable.

I said it then, and I will repeat it […]
