Your representative needs to hear from you right now, before the April 20 deadline. Contact them today. Tell them: No vote on any bills that would reauthorize Section 702 without meaningful reform.

We're in the news. arstechnica.com/ai/2026/04/b... I wasn't going to say anything, but I'm not aware of any evidence to blame it on coding (vibe or otherwise) instead of another network issue like AWS or DNS glitch somewhere down the line.

Autism Awareness Day Reminder that "Autism Speaks" is a monstrous hate group and there are plenty of real organizations you can support. Also, that stupid book about the Dog in the Night-Time is as much about autism as Chakotay was about native american culture. Same goes for Big Bang Theory

And the Joker.

Remember folks, be like Eddie.

The GOP hates America and everything it stands for. Their words and actions prove it. Facts don't lie, but the GOP does; over and over again.

The fascists are trying to ban foreign made routers. Of course, Musk got an exemption. I have no doubt courts will block it. Anyway, now is a great time to grab an older model TP-Link router and stick OpenWRT on it. Or get a Raspberry Pi and set up as router/server. toh.openwrt.org?view=normal

Anyone doing Sakura Viewing events this weekend? www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Hvo...

So NCIS finally addressed the whole '2 people banging on one keyboard' thing, as if that were the most ridiculous thing done on that show. IMHO, the real #1 would be the sailor reading an Iaido manual to learn dueling with a naval officer sabre back in season 1. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivZi...

This should go viral......and be printed for handouts to the republicans in the House and the Senate!! youtube.com/shorts/wI-2H...

Trump now has more casualties in his stupid war, than were lost in the Afghanistan pull out, a debacle that Trump himself caused.. You know the military evac he said Biden completely mismanaged and would never have happened had he been in charge of it.

I really want a remake of Kuma Miko that doesn't offensively ruin the ending. I want it even more than another Okaasan-Online season, or Haganai and The World God Only Knows getting finished, or Goro Miyazaki stepping up and animating the rest of his dad's magnum opus, Nausicaa.

I've got leftover gas for the mower from last October, and I've got a supply of Krispy Kremes to last a while. I'm good for the time being.

arstechnica.com/health/2026/... They wish to cure us, but I say to you we are the cure! The cure for that infirm, imperfect condition called 'Homo sapiens!'

Oh my god, we are so screwed. It will be a miracle if our country and democracy can survive this insanity.

Observers are saying the mess with Hormuz is even worse than the Suez Crisis 70 years ago. youtu.be/Jub-sXFRLFQ Fitting lyrics condemning an idiot behind a desk who doesn't know what they're doing. Incidentally, the Suez Crisis also partly inspired Dune.

Everyone go play the real Marathon games. store.steampowered.com/app/2398450/... store.steampowered.com/app/2398490/... store.steampowered.com/app/2398520/... Live service garbo has no future.

When old folks say they can feel weather changes in their bones, you should listen. Being sensitive to barometric and humidity changes is a real thing, though in my case, it's all the sinus cavities making my skull feel like I just binged on monster energy and vodka.

Costco has take out Caesar wraps for March. Coincidence? The most wonderful time of year is coming.

Got my NAS setup running nicely (actually an offline RAID enclosure hooked up to the existing router). I'm still a bit worried that I should get a UPS to put it on, but I've spent more than I should that last couple months, and taxes are still in the works.

They should kiss and hold paws. <3 <3

They promptly fixed the speed glitch on the Final Fantasy 7 rerelease. Sincere credit where it's due, but how did they not notice that before releasing it? Anyway, here's hoping the 7th Heaven modders can port their years of work over without too much fuss.

Anyone remember the old joke of the interpreter who gives suspiciously short translations for a speech to the audience, and the speaker afterwards asked what he said? "Bullshit." "Big bullshit." "Bullshit over."

A reasonably up-to-date version of Final Fantasy VII is finally on Steam, but they released it in a broken state. Sad even the big cash cow doesn't warrant enough attention for basic prerelease testing.

arstechnica.com/gaming/2026/... Maybe now the jerks will fix the Pixel Remasters and bring them up to par with the definitive PSP and GBA versions.

Can we dress Andrew up like this for his trial?

I wouldn't mind getting a newer router with more advanced capabilities, but I've been hold off on that until DOCSIS 4 modems hit retail. Streaming and cloud storage sucks as much as AI. I'll be buying and ripping from physical media till they put me in the ground with my archives.

Now HDDs are getting shortages, along with the RAM and SSD crises. I splurged on a RAID enclosure and set of 4TB HDDs. Hopefully I can get away with plugging into my router for local network hosting instead of having to set up a dedicated NAS with the RPi or something. Say no to streaming and cloud

Nice. The Quake 2 demaster mod that reverts the changes the bethesda remaster made finally got updated for the current game version. Though it needs to be put in the game save folder, rather than the programfiles folder, which is a bit hard to find in the Linux version.

More false arrests without justification. www.startribune.com/doj-moves-to... But Biden weaponized the justice system.

Admittedly, Portable Ops does little that PW didn't do better, but filling in more of Big Boss' story as he discovers his talent for charismatic leadership, and suffers more betrayals on the path to becoming the big bad of the original games is a crucial part of the saga.

Yay! Guns of the Patriots and Peace Walker are getting love. Boo! They're skipping Portable Ops yet again.

D&D Faerie Dragons are often familiars to mages, but I wonder if they're ever more than just friends. TFW you'll never have a cute, mischievous scalie GF who surprises you with a room full of heart balloons full of her euphoric breath attack when you get home from work :(

Nuts. The GabeCube is delayed. A pox on the AI bubble. May everyone pushing it be infested with headcrabs.

www.rawstory.com/raw-investig... Everyone should read up on Trofim Lysenko, or watch the Cosmos reboot episode on the Soviet famines. It's funny how the right uses "political correctness" as a snarlword, when they're extremely guilty of pushing it.

Has anyone with #videoediting experience tried cutting together ICE footage with the Lambeth Walk? Some traditions shouldn't be forgotten. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYdm...

How on earth do people manage to clean off the refrigerator coils without tearing the linoleum every time they move it?

It's about time Final Fantasy 7 gets updated on Steam. Hopefully 7th Heaven mods remain compatible or get ported without much trouble.

Considering the abolishing of the National Science Foundation, and McCarthyism coming back in a big way, and what big pushes in science remain are focused on web3 and AI boondoggles, the US can sleep in the bed it made. History will remember this period in the same section as Lysenkoism.

oh commuters just found the motherlode of ice agents at a suburban hotel, including, potentially, bovino himself. a bunch of confirmed ICE and CBP cars from the bovino convoy there. spring hill suites in maple grove. people of the twin cities, do with this info what you will.

Reminder that literally all telecoms are scumbags. Fuck you, Xfinity. Enrolling customers in loyalty program without permission is particularly scummy.

The North Sea Empire WILL rise again. Preferably absorbing Minnesota, North Dakota, Wisconsin, Ontario and Michigan. God's curse on those who spread the slander that the Kensington Runestone is a hoax. Probably some heathen Wisconsinite.
