The sun is diminished. Every morning dawn becomes further delayed. Truly, this must be the end of time.

It's not a lesson on cyber security, but instead is a cheap attempt to maximize profits for the company that was contracted to put together our cyber security training. These videos used to have stock images and actors, but now its smooth slop. Disgusting.

This year's cyber security training contains AIslop that they justify including by saying it's a demonstration on how deceptive AI social engineering can be but it actually just looks like molten shit.

[Leto II tapping into his genetic memories to intimidate Duncan Idaho] "Ducks on ancient earth would wield alliums of power in battle against other beasts. Those of Galaria would be captured by children and then honed into weapons of war. Much like house Atreides has done to you, Duncan."

I'm so relieved that Digger has been getting poor reviews and every detail I gather confirms my first impression that it wasn't going to be good. Tho I might encourage those I love and trust to go see it so I can hear about how bad it is second hand.

I purchased (some time ago) a pair of Bluetooth headphones of special materials suitable for wearing at the gym. What's unfortunate, is that I forget to take them out of their case when I got home, so now I'm on the train going to work with a stinky pair of headphones.

There error in new atheism was that it wasn't soviet atheism. A strong politburo would have been able to keep all these catholic "intellectuals" (counter revolutionaries) in check, and squash the academic petite bourgeoisie that profited of the popular movement against superstition and dogmatism.

Okay. I'd be happy with a classic Chicago dog.

Looked like a good hotdog. Imagine getting a Chicago dog through a glory hole 🤤

Just saw a video of a guy eating a hotdog through a glory hole and made the Homer Simpson appetite sound.

But! If I navigate to my Desktop directly, the address bar still displays "OneDrive > Desktop", but now the directory(?) contents are just the three folders I actually have on my desktop. Wtf?

Xena: Warrior Podcast @warriorpodcast.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Frankly, im not surprised. I myself don't even entirely understand what is going on with the files on my desktop anymore. If i click "up" on my downloads folder, the address bar of explorer changes to "OneDrive > Desktop", and all my user directories and computer drives(???) are displayed!

You know fuck OneDrive and Microsoft for deciding that by default everyone wants to save all files in one big jumble in some sort of "third space" outside my computer and mysteriously parent to the conventional locations like the documents directory I ALWAYS WORK FROM. 3+fucking clicks to get there!

I think that's most of the numbers, so you're probably good.

It is so good. I dont know why they've never made another tactics like it. I actually got the orge tactics remake for the switch. I played probably 10 hours of it, didn't quite feel as dynamic as fft. And I kinda hated spending multiple turns trying to cross a large map to engage with the enemy.

Okay, yeah, Ceaser III need to be in there, somewhere near the top, probably after SMAC.

Just discovered a new anti-trans org that seems to have just come into existence. It seems like their niche is going to be the family-estangement angle, and its a real freakshow of conservative health influencers.

Like, I remember the "promise" of STEM education in the post-2008 economic landscape. And every slick magazine you could find had a semi-annual article about the prospects for STEM grads. In the near future. There were a lot of promises being made that just didn't pan out!

I know there is a lot to be said about how bad it would be if the DE imposes this "if a the degree doesn't result in employment with salaries high enough to afford the loan payment, then no loans for that degree," but we really ought to question the whole system of issuing loans in the first place!

One of those two victims of woke was under "controversy" in 1975 but then later became ASA president in the 80s. The other victim of woke is Mark Regnerus. Lmao even.

Ashley Rubin even has a part where she's like "I tried to find more cases of researchers get blackballed by the woke academy, and not even chatgpt could help me. (So there must be more cases where going unreported.)" Also, her cases seemed split with the woke only being a problem in 2 of the 4, and

Actually, its not even a whiff. Both reports tried to use LLMs to substantiate their claims about the state of the academy. Over a half a million abstracts were dumped into chatgpt, and surprise surprise: Gender studies, Anthropology, and Sociology are the "most liberal" on a 10-point scale.

Ive been reading parts of the Vanderbilt State of Scholarship discipline reports (anthropology and sociology) and there are a fair number of errors that ought have been caught on a reread—a sentence running between two paragraphs, a link missing from the text "here", etc. Also, faint whiff of AI....
