Russian bot traffic has dropped to nearly 0 after Ukraine struck a Yandex data center in Vladimir, Russia

• Source Network: AS13238 YANDEX – Yandex LLC (Russian Federation)
• Traffic Breakdown: Prior to the drop, bot traffic accounted for roughly 99.6% of requests compared to 0.4% human traffic.
• Event Cause: The sudden plunge to zero on October 11, 2026, corresponds to a reported military/drone attack on Yandex's data center facility in Vladimir, Russia—marking the third reported attack on Yandex data infrastructure since October 8.

Watercolor bird. We're not going to talk about the feet. #watercolor #art #bird

A blue watercolor bird on a stick with a pine cone to the right. There's a background of smeared purple, blue, and green.

The bird's feet are definitely not correct, but the rest of the bird looks great.

Someone mentioned it, so now I have to repost it. Please enjoy this tale of teenage emotional trauma, courtesy of Taylor Swift, 50 Shades of Grey, and three glasses of wine.

Update: I have been informed the movie is "peak." Worth seeing even if you know the twists. Your mileage may vary based on willingness to see something with Tom Cruise in it.

This is a friend of mine. After two of us in the group chat read plot summaries of Digger, we convinced him to go see it without knowing anything about it. He has the theater to himself. I'll report back with his impressions.

Writing something where I will be liberally citing @lilymasonphd.bsky.social's latest and realizing that I can't cite every single thing I would like to because then I'm just reprinting her work. So, I've gotta thread about it instead. muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/articl...

I spent a summer pumping gas at a Ryder truck stop. Dirty, greasy work under the summer sun in Alabama. It taught me that I absolutely did not want to do that kind of work.

If you are a judge and you allow this without holding anyone in contempt, you're just an empty bench with a robe propped up by a janitor's mop. (I know, I know, it's from Stancil)

I attribute the font and color choices to the designers being stuck mentally in 2000. We're lucky most websites don't feature spinning clip art and a guestbook. I'm sure they had to overhaul everything when Flash went away.

They have to design them to work on every computer, every system, and every browser, so they're held back because you need to be able to apply for a passport on an iMac from 2001 running emulated Windows 95 Internet Explorer.

Don't drink raw milk. There is no benefit, and the risks are very high, especially for children. Also, never trust a chiropractor about anything. They are quacks who routinely harm and even kill people by pretending to be medical professionals.

What a story to wake up to. It's bad. It's really, really bad. People are getting high on meth and then injecting other people with their blood to "share" the high (it's called "bluetoothing"). Clean needles are hard to come by. Meth isn't. The population largely doesn't know about antiretrovirals.

Trump has a lot of support in rural areas, but never forget that he has equally high levels of support in upper middle class white males. These are people with office jobs and middle manager positions. Jan 6 was mostly well-off white males from urban areas, not a rebellion of rural Americans.

Got gas yesterday, and the guy in front of me was filling up his gigantic, lifted diesel pickup. I asked him how much it had cost him to fill up. $160. He looked like he worked outside, but all these office worker types who "needed" a truck to drive to the office are getting rude awakenings.

We annihilated an entire strain of flu because everyone wore masks and stayed home just for a little while. Imagine if mask wearing when sick had been adopted as a common practice!

The right wing disinformation sphere has spent the last few decades recruiting unstable and angry men into a permission structure that will eventually justify killing anyone they deem an enemy. That's why they spend every moment screaming about invaders and threats.

As a nursing student, we take occasional standardized exams called HESI exams. We are required to take each exam twice, and the grades are averaged. I got a 99 on the first Mental Health/Psychiatric Nursing exam. Going in for the second round today. Wish me luck!

Everyone is ripping on Ed Sheeran for dumping Macklemore off of his tour because of Macklemore's Palestine comments, but don't forget you can also rip on Ed Sheeran for having some of the ugliest tattoos ever.

RBF came out on stage, played one song, and then jokingly said "goodnight everybody!" and pretended to walk off House of Blues apparently has really strict rules about when you have to be off stage. They played maybe 4-5 songs and that was it. Aquabats were up for at least an hour. I was so mad.

I will never not be angry at the Aquabats for monopolizing the stage at the House of Blues in Chicago in 2010, leaving Reel Big Fish to cut their set short.

One of my best friends growing up was Pakistani. His dad was flatly refused service at a McDonald's in the week after 9/11. Told to his face that they wouldn't serve him. One of many indignities I'm sure he endured.

I met a waiter at a Mexican restaurant once with a scar on his arm. He told me he got the scar when the horse he and his brother were riding to get here FELL OFF A CLIFF AND DIED. He wrapped up his busted arm and kept walking. I don't give a single fuck if he came here "the right way."

This is what drives me crazy about the UK narrative about boats and the US narrative about people walking across the border. Do you have any idea how incredibly dangerous that journey is? The strength of character you'd need? A man willing to walk from Ecuador to the US is not going to be deterred.
