Proper internal cable management

The @theskepticsguide.bsky.social is one of the few podcasts I listen to regularly; I'm on year 20 😅. Worth checking out if you are into scientific skepticism, science news, mini games, or just slightly nerdy science talk. www.theskepticsguide.org/podcasts/epi...

Nothing to see here, folks... youtu.be/szX5QVpnu-Q?...

Good news, patriots! The Bad Bunny half-time show at the Super Bowl has been cancelled! The show will now be performed by the old Cracker Barrel logo.

If they would make it, I would pay $100 for Bejeweled 4. Assuming it wasn't full of microtransactions.

Tylenol

I go to a lot of security conferences that are dominated by private sector business leaders. I really feel it's an unwritten rule that shitting too hard on genAI = career death.

I love this album cover. I like to think that right before the picture was snapped, she said her name in a very dramatic way. "Ccccccindyyyyyyyyyyyyyy..."

This is my new favorite playlist for concentration mode. I don't understand much Japanese, so the lyrics aren't distracting. open.spotify.com/playlist/0nz...

The chaos at the CDC in the wake of last week’s firing of its Director and the resignations of four senior officials is fallout from the latest skirmish in RFK Jr.’s war against vaccines. Make no mistake, RFK Jr. is working hard to take away your vaccines, if he can. Here’s a progress report.

My Buffy hot takes Most overrated character: Angel Most annoying character: Drusilla Hottest character: Joyce Summers

Snoop Dogg is scared to go to the movies

Rewatching Buffy the Vampire Slayer. One of my all time fav series. In Season 1, Episode 8 "I, Robot... You, Jane", a demon gets released into the Internet. It's crazy how so many lines from the episode seem to describe the current state of our Internet-based society.

The Truth About Washington DC

Sippin' on some:

I've been in 2 meetings in the past month with vendors that focus heavily on AppSec and DevSecOps. In both, there were engineers (not sales) that didn't know what OIDC is. Is this normal? Honest question because I don't actively develop anymore and have become slightly disconnected from that world.

Thinking about writing a letter similar to one you might see on Ken Burns' Civil War documentary. Except instead of me writing home about my experiences as a solider for the Northern or Southern army, it will be about my losing battle with these motherfucking gnats in my house.

How long until Ghislaine Maxwell suspiciously ALT+F4's herself?

❤️ Genetically Modified Skeptic. This is the most unhinged thing I've seen in quite a while... www.youtube.com/watch?v=YN_p...

Just saw the new Superman and it was very good. Warning: The first 1/3 of the movie was kind of doo doo. After that, it really picked up and never stopped. Give it 30-45 minutes before you give up; you likely won't be disappointed.

Getting kind of burned out on PoE2. Not ready to go back to BG3. What's the new hotness on RPGs (of any type)?

One of my favorite things to do when visiting a new town is to check out a local or regional grocery store and see what cool stuff they have that I don't have back home. I don't consider myself old, but man, that makes me feel like I am. 👴

Prophetic

How did we go from a long-running grey zone war between Israel and Iran to the current major bombing operations? I sat down with Peter Schram, an expert on grey zone conflict, to get some answers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MWB...

The word "deal" in the context of international agreements or financial arrangements has always made me cringe. Has a shady car salesmen vibe. Maybe it's just me. I worked in the financial sector for quite a while and it made my teeth itch every time I heard it.

This just in: It's OK for you to not like things that other people like. You don't have to tell them either. It's one thing to ask why someone likes a thing they do or to give your opinion as a part of normal conversation. It's another to turbo shit on something just to make people feel bad.

I believe I shared this before. Sharing again for no particular reason. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

If only we could go back to a simpler time... #MAWA

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

Patrick Boyle is the dry humor GOAT. youtu.be/6nX63zInJkY?...

Had a dystopian dream that I think would make a good AI short, but I don't want to spend any money on Veo 3. A line of small, emaciated, barely-clothed children wait in line outside of a hyperscaler DC. It is cold and snowing...

Terribly describing Star Trek TNG episodes. Season 7, Episode 2: "Liasons" The plot doesn't matter because you will spend the rest of your evening wondering if Voval would have banged Captain Picard, you know, for science.

I disconnect for a few hours to ride bikes with my wife, and I missed everything. Come back to make a "Friendship ended with Elon" meme and I've been beaten to the punch 100 times already.

My LinkedIn is saturated with posts about how failure "was the point" of the SpaceX Flight 9 test. "They learned so much!" Framing it as "failing is the only way to learn" is broken brain shit. By that logic, we should maximize failures to maximize progress.

Really? Do I *really* need to prepare myself for the Rubberband Man?

What does everyone use to track the books they've read? An app? Spreadsheet?

Is this song about America rn? www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3eC...

I frequently think about this story. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rqa8...

Almost talked myself out going to a Meow Wolf. Thought it might be more for kids. I was so wrong (although kids love it too). If I was not on a tight schedule today, I could have spent all day there. So much to explore. So many little details to observe. So much charm/wonder. Worth checking out.

I think these Dick's Sporting Goods commercials would be more memorable if, when Will Arnett's family asks him if he's "ever heard of Dicks.com," he paused for a moment of internal dialogue and wondered, "Did I forget to delete my browser history? ...Oooooh. The sporting goods site."

I'm watching broadcast TV for the first time in a long time. In less than 30 minutes, I've seen 3 ads for mobile games. One of them seemingly discouraging reading in favor of playing the game.

Let's go back to a website. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2z7k...

Cappy Army, back in action. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftp2...

Is this new or did I just miss it when published? What strange stylistic choices. www.whitehouse.gov/lab-leak-tru...

As a paranormal investigator, Joe Nickell was in high demand, studying ghosts, the Loch Ness monster, crop circles and appearances of Jesus, including one on a tortilla. Nickell solved hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of mysteries. He has died at 80.

Terribly describing Star Trek TNG episodes. Season 5, Episode 9: "A Matter of Time" Time traveling Max Headroom is also a kleptomaniac.

Terribly describing Star Trek TNG episodes. Season 5, Episode 6: "The Game" A lady with goat eyes and a fivehead tries to take over Starfleet using a gotcha game.

Anus? Dang near killed him!
