There's a test my job does where during a interview, if the candidate doesn't address the woman at the table or answer her questions, they don't get hired.

That experience really gave insights to those subtle red flags.

Wife and I do that now to every single service we meet. We both walk up to the counter, I don't say a god damn thing and my wife starts speaking. And if they start responding only to me, we leave.

I've been neutral with Microsoft upgrades for years. Annoying, but not enough to want to change.

But after Cortana, I'm done in with upgrades. I'm sitting on Win10 forever until SteamOS fully works for every game i own. My work laptops are already off of Microsoft.

I work in marketing so I look at a LOT of stock photos. And every time I go, "Ah yeah AI garbage", i find the source date is from 1990s or something. So my paranoia is way up there now where I don't think I'm going to be able to tell in a few years.

Only if you protect it.

Pacific Northwest got some real interesting rascals.

Proud boys started in the Pacific Northwest. On the eastern side, domestic terrorist Matt Shea wants to split from WA.

It won't be hard for these weeds to sprout back up.

They changed it (uncertain when) after a lot of publicity.

It is an informed decision.

They choose the party where a creepy ass man with multiple crimes and convictions is their president, one that continues to dismantle American justice by directly locking up opposing judges, locked kids in cells, and directly threatening opposers.

They could have chosen anything -- to support local community. To back unity. To defend disenfranchised people.

Instead, they chose MAGA and everything it has with it.

I just read somewhere that fans went CRAZY when a Korean idol shared that she had a boyfriend and was planning to marry him. Like, she had to go into hiding.

I wonder how it'll be for Kpop girls who thirst for a guy to then reveal he's not into them.

My god. Exponential growth.

Soon it'll be four gay men. Then Eight. Then Sixteen!

Damn you Rice on a Chessboard problem!

This.

Since Due Process is no longer a thing, anybody can immediately be called an enemy of the state.

For conservatives: say something bad about Biden? Guess what? MAGA is now a gang and you will end up in El Salvador. No proof needed.

If you are uncertain what type of gun to get for home defense, id strongly recommend taking training courses before considering. They'll help you get comfortable with one that works for you and your use cases.

Blind and old cat, last meal, I gave him sour creme and onion chips.

Couldn't smell it. Did one lick and then snuggled with the bag.

He was a chip goblin all of his life. And I hope he's stealing chips from Angels in Cat Valhalla.

 

I work downtown. I personally take the bus to work and walk.

While getting feedback from our paid intern's experience, one complained about having to pay for parking.

Because I naturally always support the interns, I pushed for that perk. Why shouldn't they get all the help they need? They're young, they have a busy life and they're trying their best.

But my coworker (who drives) said, "Theres street parking and they are complaining they have to walk 14 minutes over."

Now my internal "Fuck Cars" position is battling with my "Give the Interns everything".

I'm not the deciding factor. Just wanted to share this.

 

Summary

Alan Filion, an 18-year-old from California, was sentenced to four years in federal prison for orchestrating 375 swatting incidents between August 2022 and January 2024. Operating under various aliases, Filion charged clients for making false emergency calls that prompted significant police responses. His hoaxes included threats of school shootings and bombings, targeting institutions across the U.S., U.K., and Canada. Despite being questioned by the FBI in July 2023, he continued his activities until his arrest in January 2024, where he pled guilty to multiple charges.

 

A project called "Remove-DEI" shows the tweaks used to remove "forbidden words" from a database about childhood school readiness.

The updates, shown in Github commits, are to a database for the Department of Health and Human Services’ Head Start program. They show a project called “Remove-DEI,” which reveal some of the back-and-forth that is happening behind the scenes to align federal agencies with Donald Trump’s executive orders that forbid almost anything having to do with race or gender within federal agencies. The Github pages show software engineers discussing amongst themselves how to best remove all instances of “forbidden words” from a specific database, and the code updates they used to do it. The changes also show that, while thousands of government datasets are disappearing from the internet, even ones that remain are having parts of their utility deprecated or broken in a way that may not be visible to those outside the government.
