I can't stop giggling at the expression on Hillary's face. I feel like, if I were Hillary, this is the -exact- face I would make. Probably every day for the rest of my life.

the human that invented hot beverages is the GOAT of GOATs.

you know i don't want to shame a homogeneity kink but those mfers have boundary problems

Wow. The front page of tomorrow’s Charlie Hebdo magazine in France.

It is hella refreshing to be able to post whatever I want on social media, again. It's not like I ever have anything to say that's controversial or worth making a fuss over. Some people have way too much free time and it manifests as asinine drama.

another robot highlight for 2025: man wearing humanoid mocap suit kicks himself in the balls

A person who demands loyalty seeks to arrogate your identity.

UIs just keep getting worse and worse... to the point where I no longer want to update anything.

Tonight is the last ChiSec of 2025. We'll be at Kaiser Tiger (1415 W Randolph) at 18:30. Hope to see you all there!

LAST CHISEC OF 2025!!! Thursday, 20 Nov. @ 18:30 Kaiser Tiger (1415 W Randolph St)

....?

Today didn't go exactly as I'd planned but it's turned out to be a good day nonetheless.

Famed Russian spy hunter Christo Grozev claimed on this podcast four months ago that North Korea hacked the Democratic National Committee in 2016 and passed the info to Russia, which in exchange divulged access to Bangladesh Bank. 🤔 #infosec Passage at 13m 31s: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dimh...

Not everyone has the privilege of advocating for themselves. If you have spare political capital, consider redistributing your wealth.

I know it's a ways out but the next ChiSec is 20 Nov at Kaiser Tiger (1415 W Randolph St). Last one of 2025 and we'll resume in January. Hope to see all y'all's adorabobble faces. <3

Maybe in my next life I will learn to keep my !@$@#! mouth shut. Seems to late for this one.

We have a small dog who likes to run in between our feet when we're in the kitchen, hoping to benefit from the fruits of our labor. Lately, I have been pondering her earning potential as a middle manager.

welp, i just got the best birthday present of my life.

work is where you go to solve a problem and you find another problem that you have to solve first and then you find another problem you have to solve before that one and you keep pushing those problems onto your stack and oops turns out your stack is a ring buffer.

This is one of the things I do with my work frustration. (Ignore the cabling, it's a WIP)

I want you to have health care. I want you to have an education. Because when I have those things, I feel safer. I want you to feel safe, too. So this is what I vote for.

Missed Kickstarter idea: masks with snack pockets.

The actual work I do is how I refresh from dealing with the political bullshit that keeps me from doing the actual work I am supposed to do.

Dear Random Stranger Who Turned My Favorite Coat In To Lost&Found At SJC: you are a diety amongst mortals. May the rest of your life be peaceful and prosperous and full of the approbation that you fully deserve.

Sigh. Late in making today's post because job. ChiSec is TONIGHT. We will be at Kaiser Tiger (1415 W Randolph St, Chicago). I should be there some time around 18:30. If you beat me there, grab a table or get bar service. Otherwise look for a very exhausted, wizened bobo.

ChiSec is THIS THURSDAY. 23 October at Kaiser Tiger (1415 W Randolph St). 18:30 +/- some organic number of minutes.

I feel rather loved today. It's good to have friends.

Sigh. Up until a year ago, I had fully weaned myself off reddit. Then I got accused of "quiet-quitting on reddit." This alarmed me, so I checked to see if my account had been hacked. And now it's a full @#%@# year later and I'm still trying to break the habit.

i made this at 2am

I don't have any problem saying no. Y'all just have a problem listening.

"You are sometimes cooperative but also prioritize your own needs and boundaries." Gee... could it be maybe that I've encountered well more than my fair share of untrustworthy people? Could be...

I'm old enough now that it is time to admit I will be an angry little hornet until the day I die.

and it's only tuesday...

Huh. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

burnout is like some sort of tympanic reflex but for your soul

A stitch in time saves nine.

Some people just aren't wired to live in a post-scarcity, economically and socially stable world.

Some days it takes longer for my self-loathing for letting shit get under my skin to reach critical mass than others. Really not a reliable motivator.

I have no ego. I just want to be right. XD

Just got served an ad for something called "7 Rules of Power." I've done most of those things and I'm starting to suspect that it doesn't work for women. Just a hunch.

The downside of distribution of labor is having to rely on others to keep up their end of the bargain.

Whew. I am really having an off week.

I need a me to take care of me so that I can do all of the things I would do if I didn't have to take care of myself.

Sure is difficult to measure the productivity of your employees when your MO is to throw them into the deep end of the pool.

Learning to Fly is some kind of endurance test, right?
