Hyped to see Cregger's Resident Evil is getting a ton of praise. Makes me extra excited to see it, especially given how much I enjoyed Weapons #filmsky #movies

Started working on a new #EDH deck that I know will annoy my playgroup, so I have helpfully included a section in the list called "Why Are You Like This?" I can't wait to play it.

But if we don't relentlessly compromise, how will we get nothing done? What's next? We start questioning if the bootlickers who are our minority leaders in the House and Senate about why they keep betraying the electorate?

Similarly, in my group, we have a channel dedicated to home maintenance, with regular reminders for things like changing air filters. I used to be cool, man.

I appreciate that he's trying to stay on brand, but I'd rather he just make more distressingly gory horror movies with his wife

Haven't heard it, but I'm guessing distorted bass, drop D tuned guitar, and vaguely spooky lyrics growled into the mic?

there is no such thing as "age verification." All "age verification" is actually "identity verification." You can coat it in glitter and "privacy-preserving" wrapping paper. But in the end, mandating age verification means mandating surveillance be built into software and hardware. Period.

Flock's answer to its surveillance scandals: trust us
The company is limiting access to its 120,000 license plate readers, but critics say the changes are largely optional and self-enforced.

It's more that awareness of the incidents linked to Flock cameras has reached a critical mass in the public consciousness, I think. In the past 12 months, there's been plenty of reports of Flock incorrectly identifying vehicles, working with ICE, and being used to track women seeking abortions.

Giant Rick @giantrick.bsky.social · 14/08/2026
Flock's cameras are not only "surveillance bad" bad, they're also "warrantless search" bad, "lying to get access to public funds" bad, and "does not do well the thing it solely exists to do" bad. Though to be fair, I think "surveillance bad" kinda stands on its own as sufficient reason.

Any time you'd like to take action in that direction, Mr. Leader, we'd appreciate the sudden appearance of "anybody in power giving a shit" from the House Dem Caucus.

Welp, got laid off today. Not the end of the world, but unexpectedly needing a new job sucks real bad. Time to polish my resume and sit through 10 rounds of interviews. Great.

As a security professional, I must implore you to not use end of life software. Unmaintained software is significant security risk. If you need office software and don't want to give Microsoft your money or Google your data, try something like LibreOffice that is actively maintained and patched.

Watching crusty GOP senators suddenly die as class consciousness is rising and a major midterm approaches is filling me with the kind of hope mostly reserved for small children seeing the exit sign for a theme park. Please let this confluence of events push us back on the track to a better future.

When my little guy got sick and needed daily oral meds, I had great success with pill pockets. They smell like treats (and presumably taste) and you can just smush pills right in them. Good luck with your fuzzy buddy, I hope you both feel better now that they're home.
