If you are a student in Ireland or between jobs, and you want to participate but the ticket price is a barrier, just let me know and I'll do everything I can to get you a discount or even free ticket as you need. I want everyone to be able to learn if they are excited about it!

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.

@selenalarson.bsky.social I value your opinion on this. Should I clean off the pinky art or hold on as long as I can?

Randy @irishdeath.bsky.social · 29/11/2025
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

You are correct. It was about 200' from shore at high tide, in front of a house that had other watercraft. My best guess is that the person who owns it likes to swim out to the paddleboard and relax a bit before swimming back home. Hope they bring a washcloth!

That is really cool! I took this picture while kayaking in the Puget Sound, south of Seattle. There are no hippos or gators around here, so maybe this Heron was just practicing. I didn't have the heart to tell him that his paddleboard was upside down, or that it was missing a paddle

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.

You're right. This action is unprecedented in the United States. Never before has a president targeted the career of civil employees. It's not unusual for political appointees or heads of government agencies to be replaced, but this is different and deeply troubling

Brian Driscoll, the acting FBI director and head of the bureau's Newark field office, pushed back so aggressively that some feared he would be dismissed.

The people who would be affected include technical specialists who have taken down malware botnets and unmasked APT threat actors, people who rescue kidnapped kids, people who capture violent criminals, and more. Firing these people is not right and it hurts us all to let it happen

Targeting FBI line level employees sends a chilling warning to all employees in federal law enforcement to not work on investigations that might affect the President or any of his associates. If they are fired, we all lose their years of skills and capabilities on all the cases they work on (2/3)
