Hey hey, it's October, so that means a new episode of Podsothoth, our very serious and creepy #Lovecraft podcast! Tonight, I'm pleased to present a reading of The Dunwich Horror, first published in 1929. Catch it below, or on your favorite podcast catcher! […] [Original post on defcon.social]

Arranging your tabs vertically in #Vivaldi means you get to enjoy an Outkast earworm every time you want to clean things out. At least, I do.

Woah. Today's the 20th anniversary of DEFCON (no, not that one, the video game). I'm always amazed when game companies actually support games decades(!!) after launch. DEFCON is fun in an unsettling way. Strong recommend, since the gameplay feels like a very fast boardgame […]

Hey @pluralistic - how many people do you think bought Reverse Centaur thinking it was a romantasy book on account of the weird horse mutant with a bare butt on the cover? Bonus: how many read it anyway and, despite it not being very horny, found it very useful, insightful, and funny? Does […]

On Star Trek, I used to wonder, "Why not just have Data do everything?" Basically, I used to take Maddox's side in "The Measure of a Man." Now that I've worked with some AI stuff... now I know why. The whole crew of the Enterprise's job is to keep tabs on Data.

There continues to be no evidence of hacking in any election resulting in changing an outcome in any US election, by China, Russia or anyone else. I checked whitehouse.gov (at 8:42pm Texas time). There are no declassified documents there describing tampered ballots or results.
