I just spit out my morning coffee… if cryptographers can’t figure it out, how are we mere mortals supposed to do it?!?!?

I could be doing things like, yard work, house work, helping kids with hw, weekly prep etc. but instead I’m gonna go see Tron in the theatres.

I have a close friend who spent the last 15 years as an ETL developer and whose department was recently laid off (jobs were outsourced). If anyone has or knows of any openings, this guy is intelligent, personable, and overall a great person, and I'd love to put you in touch. Reposts appreciated!

This big question is, which Thursday is June 5?

It's the 3rd Thursday folks!

At first the title has some shock value but when you think about it for a second it actually makes sense for all Nazis to live in close quarters, “fenced in with heavily fortified walls with no outside communication”. Who would want this guy as a next door neighbor other than another Nazi?

@superducktoes.bsky.social I’m not sure what to do with this info, please advise.

The best hacker movie ever made.

A++++++ wartime poster.

Not enough goatse IMO…

Who had US-Iran kinetic conflict on their 2025 bingo card? I certainly didn’t. 20+ air refuel tankers moved closer to the region. Rhetoric on social media is escalating by the minute. Would be nice to have some competent leaders in charge especially at a time like this.

Another A++++ sign, no notes.

No notes, A+++++ sign!

I've said this multiple times and I will repeat it once again since it's very relevant to what's happening in the news today. Elon will get deported before midterms. #FAFO

Trump doesn’t need to do anything to win a 3rd term, Dems are ready to hand it to him on a platter. A candidate like AOC will never win a presidential election, at least not in the current climate that we’re in. The level of incompetence is astonishing.

I mean why do we bother pretending anymore. Just call it already.

In-n-out is the most overrated burger joint. Even FiveGuys is better than them and that’s not a high bar to clear.

Wow, end of an era. I guess that also means all those people who had CVEs assigned will have their hacker status revoked as well?

Chinese tariffs or …?

On Monday “90 day tariff pause” was fake news Presumably someone in the room leaked it before a certain group of people could get in on their market positions 48 hours has passed and the “90 day tariff pause” is announced That certain group of people are making a killing in the markets today

My kid just showed me how he bypasses his iOS screen time limit and my mind is blown! FaceTime someone and share your screen with them, then give them screen control, and voila, magically your screen time is turned off. WTF Apple, your screen time controls are utter garbage.

SNL cold open is 🔥🔥🔥

Word on the street is that BSM needs more followers on BlueSky. Can we help them get the word out?

Here’s a plausible scenario I’ve seen play out like this before. A group chat takes place in a messaging app. One of the participants attempts to add some/all unrecognized numbers form the chat to their address book. They record a number with the incorrect name. (1/2)

That took what, like 30 days? When you see these things coming it’s one thing, when they arrive it’s a whole another. Good luck to all! bsky.app/profile/atru...

And then to curb public unrest cut access to all social media platforms such as Meta, Tiktok, X, etc. …again not something that could ever happen in our country. Keep Kalm Karry On…

Fast forward to 2028, it’s election season again. Democrats somehow magically pulled out the most ideal candidate who can beat MAGA. And then just a few days before the election you wake up to this, but it can’t happen here - right… RIGHT?!?!?!? www.cnn.com/2025/03/19/e...

We have officially entered “what’re you gonna do about it” phase of the republic. Court rulings have no effect on the administration’s actions. Well how could they, right? Judges make the rulings and the enforcement arm “enforces” the rule of law. Enforcement arm has gone AWOL.

There is a lot of wrong and crazy happening all at once in our country today. Alien Enemies Act is the one power, once invoked, that can deeply change the fabric of our society and very quickly. I hear a lot of outrage out there but people are far too content or afraid to take action.

I have to admit, the long game Elon played up until this point to get MAGA people to simp for his EVs is like no other. These are the same people who chase Teslas off the highways with their diesel trucks and corner them in parking lots. MAGA on MAGA road rage!!!! coming to a road near you…

Certain demographic in this country has always been above the rule of law. Shit got fixed for them when they violated these laws with no consequences This is different though, everything is now being done in the open, that is to promote chaos and say “if you’re one of us go ahead and do as you will”

Highly relatable content here. The decline has been palpable for way longer than last 10 yrs though.

The last second of this video a woman yells “we’re gonna vote you out!” I, sure as shit, hope from the bottom of my heart we actually get to hold elections that resemble those that are held by democratic nations so you can taste such a victory. At this time, I give us a 50/50 chance for it happening

Zelensky's Oval office interaction today reminded me of a time when I found myself in a car dealership room with a sleazy salesman and his manager who were trying to get me to sign a contract which I was pretty sure illegal. Saying "thanks but no thanks" and walking out was the only winning move...
