Ah yes, welcome to the fall blindness. Twice a year, because of the time change, I have to find a way to avoid the sun in the danger gap between the bottom of the upper deck and the top of my monitor.

A slightly dramatized, but not with digital tools, example of the sun rising through the trees and making a red spot in my vision for the rest of the day

From a partner organization's newsletter (Microsolved) they send out monthly.

Joke of the month: How did the employee spot the fake email from the CEO? It said, "No rush. This can wait until Monday."

@JessTheUnstill @RandomCosplayer It wasn't my plan, but when you accidentally make a cosplayer, ya get kinda stuck. Gotta say, will have a hard time finding a nicer community.

PSA: I told 23andme to delete my data several years ago and got confirmation. Today I got a spam from them with a "view my report" button. You'll never guess what I'm gonna say next. You get two guesses and the first one is wrong answers only. #genetics #privacy

My deleted 23andme data. Yes, thanks, I know I'm mostly German. I spoke German at the dinner table with my grandfather.

The Economist appears to have woken up this morning, checked their field of fucks, and determined it was, indeed, barren. #ai #economics

A quote by Larry Fink reading, "If we have a moratorium of some sort in this country, we will be in a recession." The commentary by The Economist reads: "Doubtless nothing to do with the billions of dollars the asset management firm has plowed into it."

Guessing this shows how today went, right there in a shellnut. #fortinet #cisa

From my blog roll: a post about the fortinet flaw then immediately a different post about it being added to the KEV.

See, BMW knows where it's at with AI. You don't want to be getting rid of the engineers. You want to be getting rid of management.

BMW intends to get rid of one-fifth of its management roles by mid-2027. The German carmaker is trying to reduce its payroll and slimline operations to compete with Chinese rivals. It thinks AI will allow it to use significantly leaner management structures.

OK, I didn't mean it literally, Burp AT!

The finding that BurpAT added to the project that includes: "Holy crap, it worked" at the beginning of the detail (because that's how I responded to its query as to whether or not I received the test email it sent)

On Slack with $client ... got made fun of for my AI opinions.

A large AI-generated flyer called the AI cringe test, with the byline "We came, we saw, we scanned," then it only gets worse from there.

I'd like to introduce you to my new best bud, Shelob. She's keeping the mosquitoes away.

The web is no less than 4 ft in diameter. It has anchored in 5 spots, 2 of which are no less than 10 ft apart. It's amazing.

And we came home and found a dog. This is one of those weird days, isn't it? (The leash came later. Second rodeo.)

As promised, I broke it^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h took it apart. No obvious damage to the LEDs themselves, but I can feel the marks from the inside-they actually got hot enough to sag a bit.

You can tell it will be an awesome day when you realize mid-afternoon that you wrote the wrong date on your notebook.

As I'm sure you can imagine, 8/24 with the 4 scratched out and 5 written underneath it
