The “breaking news” noise should be Jumanji drums

Seeking knitting advice on color transitions. Front side has nice maroon to white transition. Flip side shows a single stitch line between color transitions. Can I make both sides look like the first image with clear “break” between colors? All suggestions welcome for this newbie.

Depending on the timezone, Happy early or belated New Years! 🎆🥳🥂🍾

Happy New Year, Tokyo! 🇯🇵

As we experience a huge surge of flu cases, a reminder that the widespread usage of masks at the start of the COVID pandemic wiped out a strain of the flu. If you haven’t been masking up lately, now would be a great time to restart.

This dude... Fighting about using PPE is darwinism. Akin to basic Universal/Standard Precautions, is for everyone. Masks reduce spread of contagious airborne diseases. Proper PPE and refrigerated trucks of dead were obv missing from his liberal education 🙄

The reason this Harvard history professor decided he was done with one of the best and most privileged jobs in the world was, in his own words, because he was forced to lecture in a mask during peak Covid. I’m not making this up.

TIL Born Slippy turned 30 this year. Dear time, quit already.

There is literally no reason for most white-collar "office workers" to be in the office. Kill office buildings and make them full residential. People will buy it.

this thread has the juice:

"You look like Donnie Wahlberg." I didn't take it as a compliment. It was meant as one. Multiple people have said it over the years. It has been a cursed compliment that has followed me since the 90's.

jellyfish time!

The reason I think women make better hackers is because they spend their whole lives being told "no" and having to find clever workarounds. When dudes her "no," it seems most of them just try to brute force their way thru.

I didn’t learn about it until much later but allegedly my 3rd grade teacher told my parents that I was very smart, and that as a result I would probably burn out by high school and drop out. Which. She was right about the burnout I guess? But I did press through 🤪

How I'm walking out of 2025

I don’t need another roll of 3D filament right? (On top of the two I got for the holiday)

My two cents: not sure why reading IDS or firewall logs is an assumed or measured knowledge for pentesting enumeration. Definitely blue teaming or possibly purple teaming IMO. C’mon, what’s the likelihood attackers are reading Snort rules unless they’ve exploited that host.

it's a harsh world out there and not everyone is going to give you credit for all the great stuff you do. but Sandal thinks you have done awesome this year. he doesn't know how you do it. he also doesn't even know how to open the refrigerator but that isn't important rn

Lol I'm just straight up blocking any white dude telling someone who is neither of those things they're "coming from a place of immense privilege." Nothing else he has to say is going to be worthwhile.

Spending majority of my life trying to take care of or support others. When I see a post lumping Americans in with the maga crowd, I don’t have spoons and just blocking now. No one has to support someone like me but guess what, they don’t get someone as dedicated as me in their corner either.

me processing Brigitte Bardot's death: Awww. She was a legend. *reads about her "politics"* Wait, what? She said a lot of horrible bigoted shit? Fuck. Now I am glad she's dead.

Every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by (Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes

What if, and just hear me out, letting children get mad and learn to self-regulate is an important part of childhood development?

I used to not be allowed to complain about anything growing up. Until I got older and then some people kept telling me I have to speak up about stuff. Oh boy do I now.

Saw a comment elsewhere stating when celebrities started sporting hair styles with the side shave trend was ten years ago. (As in main stream, not alt style) Excuse me while I go crumble into old fart dust

As we enter the New Year remember fear of making bad art is holding you back. Fear of people not liking your work is holding you back. Rejection is holding you back You'll make bad art, you'll have people not like your work, and you'll be rejected. Moving past it is half the job of being a creative

Reflecting 2025 and I have not accomplished much other than trying to stay afloat: -Making up for lost time on overdue dental work -Briefly address long term back issue -Temp place and no clear answer where I’ll be physically in 1-2 years -This year my skills have declined -Survive mode 1/

I think most people don't realize that they view hypocrisy as privilege, and a marker of social status. The ability to wield hypocrisy without consequence is seen as a reinforcement of their hierarchical worldview, because you haven't the power to make it matter to them.

Calling out a fascist for taking a hypocritical position is easy. It's also a complete waste of time. Fascist rhetoric is aesthetics— pathos, never logos. You'll never get anywhere pointing out a fascist's hypocrisy. Fascism is not to be debated, it's to be smashed. Get comfortable using power.

There is a person who eventually turned out to be an infamous level asshole, but the first time someone introduced me to him I had my name tag flipped backwards so he didn't think I was important and he literally looked me up and down and turned away. Later he tried to walk that back but you can't.
