Just had my yearly review, and while it went well, I did not advance in job level again. Out of curiosity, I checked and Colorado's OIT is hiring for an Infrastructure Engineer role that is basically what I currently do... listed for my current salary... and now I'm really conflicted.

Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

This is a real headline on the New York Times website. Support independent media.

Really is a problem that for every Mark Cuban ("omg I can buy sports teams yay") there are, like, 25 billionaires who believe God has chosen them to cleanse the Earth with fire and to seed the future of humanity. It's just too much damn money, brains can't handle it.

Online age verification isn't the same as a quick ID flash: it's surveillance. These systems collect your data and undermine your ability to anonymously access and discuss sensitive topics online. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

NEW: Google and Apple have fixed zero-days that the two companies said were being exploited in the wild. There are no details about these attacks, but usually when this happens, there's a goverment using spyware behind it. Hopefully we will get the full story soon. techcrunch.com/2025/12/12/g...

Sam Altman: hey I made a machine that stole literally all your stuff in order to make CSAM of your child actors, sometimes it encourages people to kill themselves Disney: Holy shit here's a billion dollars Altman: the machine loses more than that each week but thank you. Soon it will become god.

www.thenation.com/article/soci... Good article reflecting on AI generated slop, culture, and our future.

I just really need some more dopamine, haven't been able to do anything in like a month, this seasonal depression stacking on top of the regularly scheduled manic depression is... exhausting. Overwhelmed and under water. At least this year is almost over...

Throwback to 2006, before generative AI slop and all this nonsense that the modern internet has become, gems like this existed: www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6oU...

This Pluribus ad on a fridge caused a schizophrenic woman named Carol to be hospitalized.

I'm just really fucking goddamn mad right now and I'm just some goddamn rando But how many of us are goddamn randos

Oracle has taken on so much debt in order to build out its infrastructure to support the anticipated $300B in usage from OpenAI, that Morgan Stanley has now flagged it as a credit risk and a target for short selling. I guess this is the closest you can get to shorting OpenAI.

Politicians who make political decisions to deploy the military into situations that get service members killed for no good reason. They need to be held accountable.

Getting my “swagger” back by murdering millions of seniors

Handing back student work that’s been written by ChatGPT with a 0 followed by the comment “This essay will never stand in authentic wonder before the Beauty of God’s creation.”

This will be a taxpayer funded commercial for Claude Code.

Noʳway.

Simply glorious.

MLS has voted to switch to the European schedule I know its a moot point, but I hope Colorado Rapids voted no. Games at DSGP in December and February will be played in blizzards and ice and -10 F conditions. It will be hellish. #Rapids96

Ok, got the tripod and took my time.

Mail in voting is great because I physically dropped my ballot off at the courthouse drop box yesterday afternoon and got an email last night that it was both received and counted. Though, I do miss the stickers...

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

I should be as clear as I can: there is no future worth fighting for that accepts as a compromise building detainment camps for undesireables, and it is incumbent on anyone looking to a future worth having that that we find ways to take care of each other without building Alligator Omelas.

A key aspect of authoritrianism is the targeted persecution of political enemies.

The Zohran "aunt" thing is the funniest hatchetjob of all time. There was a prominent person in my childhood named Uncle Bonehead who was just a friend of my uncle. To this day I have no idea what his actual name was. This nomenclature is not unusual in my culture (recovered alcoholic Masshole).

Microsoft has laid off more than 15k people this year

“Let’s go, girls” and “hell yeah, brother” are both gender neutral statements

Scathing, but all too obviously accurate, take on the AWS outage by @quinnypig.com. You're engaging in professional malpractice if you don't share this with your stakeholders.

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

There is so much unknown about how ICE intends to use Paragon's terrifying no-click surveillance spyware. We appreciate members of the House Oversight Committee for sending this letter and trying to find out how this spyware will be used.

Recovery is a constant journey, and I don't really even know what the final destination is... but at least I'm still putting one foot in front of the other, small progress day-by-day. Still, I don't know what it means, to be human... a real human being. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DM8T...
