Mac users: There's a campaign running in Google ads that masquerades as Homebrew but instead sends you to sites that deliver infostealing malware like AMOS (Atomic macOS Stealer) and Odyssey. #Mac #Macintosh #MacOS #security www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/securit...

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

WELL HOW ABOUT THAT "A millionaire levy in Massachusetts has generated $3 billion more in revenue than expected without forcing significant high-profile departures from the state." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I remember when mail servers would return a bounce notice if you tried to reach an account that didn't exist. Now a bounce notice is guaranteed to be a malware vector. Yes, I'm nostalgic for the old Internet. It's like the ending scene from the original Planet of the Apes in my head.

TFG’s ascendence is due in large part to his overt racism. He’s never hidden it since he’s never had a constituency to play to. It’s allowed the GOP to finally say out loud what they’ve been hiding for decades.

The most reckless, stupid administration E-V-E-R. Nothing comes close.

I will be forever amused by Coors Light beer advertising its taste as “cold”. Even hard seltzers have a flavor.

Microsoft is promoting open-source.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Yesterday I posted on Threads that we should have conversion therapy for n@zis, today my threads account is suspended. Never once posted anything sexual. The day before, I had my Facebook monetization removed for making a comic about the Young Republicans leaked chat. Meta is full-on fascist

Stay safe and aware out there today.

This is a profoundly absurd show of force that could put Californians directly in harm's way. Flying live rounds over a busy highway without coordination between state, federal, and local partners isn't just wrong — it's dangerous.

I was one of those, back in the days of dial-up, who truly thought that connecting everyone via the nascent Internet would end wars and bring understanding and solidarity to the people of the world. We were wrong. Horribly wrong.

If you miss The Farside, Gary Larson has a website now and occasionally posts new content along with reruns. In remembrance of Jane Goodall (whom he referenced in a comic that she loved), he has posted this: www.thefarside.com/new-stuff/36...

Some people have been voting as if their lives depended on it - because they did. Now, *all* of us need to do that - and for the same reason.

There's always something that can be done. blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/17/c...

Their healthcare would go from $51 a month for their ACA plan to $2,232 next year without the subsidies. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

This is great for MLK's legacy, but too bad so many people don't have the power of a foundation to keep their image from being used to create slop. techcrunch.com/2025/10/16/o...

The Venn diagram of Power Pop, Jangle Pop, and Paisley Underground has The Bangles at its center. Uncoincidentally, I'm listening to my playlist of those genres and The Bangles are a big part of it.

Sam Altman and Mark Zuckerberg are so alike, both of them are sad, pathetic, lonely men with no friends who build products for other sad, pathetic, lonely men with no friends.

I wouldn't attach too much significance to MTG's apparent change of heart on some issues. This is not someone you can trust.

A reminder that the Nazis expelled Jewish scientists and academics, along with anyone else who didn't fit the Nazi definition. Those scientists came to the US and UK, and not only helped defeat those Nazis but also gave us the technology that has created our modern world.

If you're havin' soy problems I feel bad for you son I got 99 problems, but votin' for Trump ain't one
