Chris is elsewhere.

So the "advice" doled out in this column makes me INCREDIBLY fucking angry as a former kid who was repeatedly taken to task by teachers for "inappropriate" drawings, culminating in a 9th-grade suspension spurred by Columbine paranoia and residual Satanic Panic. Arionne here says that was JUSTIFIED.

Get to know a GoH! Author guest of honor Mary Robinette Kowal, amazing writer and speculative fiction “triple crown”* winner, will be at Capricon. Learn more about her works and register to see her in January on the website, capricon.org/guests-of-ho...

Given that @file770.bsky.social's response, when it finally came, to the comments on the JDA article he mystifyingly posted was him coming in hot on one of the commenters… I think he’s made his choice, which means I won’t be participating in that site at all any more. It’s a shame.

no i will not join your discord to get updates you should have a website please just make a website make a website

Seriously one of the saddest weird little men I've ever seen on the internet.

Hey, so, it actually took a lot of people doing a lot of unpaid work for Jon Del Arroz to be properly marginalized from the SFF community, and now he’s back, and in one of the more widely read genre fan columns around. So I just have one question: @file770.bsky.social, what the actual hell?

The Government™ has made an ad about all these protests happening around the world, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

"but local officials have to pretend they don't know why"

I feel like the people naming RCEs are getting lazy about naming. Someone cleverly pointed out that maybe we should name the pattern. So, here it is: 2shell2furio.us

I know that fuel prices hit the whole world economy, including the mechanisms by which electricity is generated, but hot DAMN I'm glad to have pivoted to powering my vehicle with electrons.

This does *not* impact all tailnet devices. Attacker must be on the tailnet. Systems must be in a non-default but widely deployed and supported configuration. Impact includes systems using headscale.

this is fucking appalling. i already knew james dolan (who owns the knicks and madison square garden) was a douche but this is next-level. www.nytimes.com/athletic/771...

What the fuck do other fat middle aged balding dudes do for Halloween, that doesn't involve buying single-use or single-purpose garbage? Because your boy is being roped to a Halloween bar crawl with people who actually dress up.

@seattletorrent.bsky.social new sweaters when?

Fellow WA voters, let's bury this. I can't imagine any parent wants to subject their child to this vile "examination."

Do I know anyone with hotel tips in #Lisbon? My partner and I have three extra days there, and we’d like to stay in a hotel that is both well located and is itself comfortable / beautiful. We don’t have tourist plans yet, but suggestions are welcome. Boost for reach, please?

Cancer kills its host and dies with it. A leveraged buyout makes the host finance its tumor, sells its organs and uses the proceeds to infect the next victim. The corpses go into the pitch deck under “successful exits.” www.theverge.com/games/101564...

This is astonishing levels of doublespeak. "We handed attackers a freely-available exploit tool, which means we gave defenders time to prepare". Those two things directly contradict each other!

This is, sadly, a pretty typical Seattle council meeting on homelessness. An overwhelming majority of public speakers explain why a how a proposed new punitive policy will harm homeless people. Supporters of the legislation display listening faces or don't, then vote for the legislation.

I'm woefully undereducated on world history, and even I know that this is in the top 5 stupidest things I'll read online today.

Discworld QOTD, from Guards! Guards! 'People who are rather more than six feet tall and nearly as broad across the shoulders often have uneventful journeys. People jump out at them from behind rocks then say things like, "Oh. Sorry. I thought you were someone else.”'

🚨 Six WebPKI Intermediate CAs are compromised. This is bigger than Heartbleed, but a client-side issue. Anything that verifies certificates against public roots, like most TLS clients, is/was affected. Details, live test, patched versions and workarounds at emudhra.we-have-a-problem.com Act now.

It's disheartening to see the largest publications in the nation not cite original reporting from independent/individual reporters. Not one mention of @marisakabas.bsky.social's work in ID'ing Tommy. Instead, the WSJ implies that Tommy came forward himself. Disingenuous, at best.

Critiques are great! We need more critiques from people who actually engage with the reality of the tools, not folks that feel the need to tag with a scarlet V anything tainted by association.

it’s really telling how Tommy refuses, even when pushed, to say why he wants El-Sayed to disavow the Muslim Brotherhood even though everyone in the room knows the reason these guys are almost all cowards in person

After 8 years and 7 months we're replacing our dinosaur-burner with a thousand pounds of battery and some wheels.

Watching the #LetsGoOilers get off to a historic start, I can’t help but think that I don’t care about these wins. There are 16 games I want us to win.

Several Cornell fraternity brothers say that they did not actively participate in the infamous group chat and were only included in it because Pete Hegseth had accidentally added them to it.

How the hell is the Astarion Discourse STILL going? Dear gods, fans are weird sometimes.

We won the battle, but the war has just begun. #BikeTO #BikeLanesOnBloor @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social

Holy shit, the LA Kings broadcast team is salty tonight. Given I have to listen to these lameasses because I can't get Canadian coverage, at least I'm going to enjoy their tears. #hockey

Just popping in here to link to something I blogged (after a 4 year hiatus) How to effectively debug with agents when you no longer read or understand the code A debugging framework that doesn’t rely on human knowledge of code to get to the “root cause” copyconstruct.medium.com/how-to-effec...

🧐 Cindy is one of the smartest people in the industry when it comes to deep understanding of tech and process and communicating ideas clearly so it it's interesting to see this contribution drop.

Hey.

Be loud. Whose feelings are saved by being quiet? If they can get away with one, they can get away with any.

National soccer media needs to do a better job covering what’s going on in Austin. Entire fan section walks out mid match and it’s absolute crickets out-there. If you’re covering the match and focusing on Nashville’s win or Austin’s loss you are not doing your job.

Cops are pretty great #acab

Can confirm. I still sing along to this when it comes up on my shuffled playlist, and my partner, who is not terminally online and never has been, always gives me a long-suffering look.

I wanted to write something wise about the evolution of our understanding of consent and sexual violence but nothing I could put to words does it better than this comic: https://pizzacakecomic.com/post/830022402777956352
