Just an internet rando who’s spent way too much on therapy here to remind you that you do not have to be around people who make you feel bad, even and especially at the holidays. It’s ok to not let people guilt you into it. You can even leave after you arrive if you’re uncomfy. Be free! Be you! ✨

In particular, the PRNI relied on Stern's trusted relationships with independent experts and companies that tipped off CISA to imminent ransomware attacks. "Dave has relationships that won’t be portable to someone new," said one person familiar with the matter.

Q for my friends who paint your nails, b/c I'm new to this: the nail art that my youngest child painted was coming off, so I removed it but kept the pinkies cuz they were still intact. My family thinks this is super weird, but I'm enjoying having a pinky of power and a pinky of death. Am I goofy?
Both of my hands showing only the pinky finger nails are painted. The right hand has a skull and the left hand has a lightning bolt

I wrote some song lyrics and got help from AI to make a "recording" of it: suno.com/song/360f92b... This song has a double meaning - on the surface, it is about actual moto-taxi drivers speeding up and down mountain roads. But it's also about how one slip in the gig economy can cost you everything

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

I was having a fascinating conversation with a Spanish speaker who is learning English, trading tips for each other's native language (I'm trying to learn Spanish). He asked me why the word "get" or "got" has so many different meanings. I didn't know, so I said "You got me there"

My prediction in @wired.com: 2025 is the year of AI agents. The coming psychopolitical regime "directs the environments where our ideas are born, developed, and expressed. Its power lies in its intimacy—it infiltrates our subjectivity. We will be playing an imitation game that ultimately plays us."

AI Agents Will Be Manipulation Engines
Surrendering to algorithmic agents risks putting us under their influence.
