70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

theatlantic.comThe Man Who Saved the Internet YesterdayOndřej Surý was a relatively anonymous volunteer working on PHP security. Then the internet exploded.

Happy season opener to all who celebrate. My season preview is up at Minnpost, excited for what will be an audacious ride. With predicted standings for the Eastern and Western Conferences in the And One newsletter. www.minnpost.com/sports/timbe...

"snowpiercer is trying to say that class societ-" WRONG, snowpiercer is saying that it even in the worst circumstances that it kicks ass to be on a train

they removed the "what media scared you as a kid" post but the answer is the air conditioner from the brave little toaster. watched this every day from the ages of 3-5 and had to hide behind the couch every time. truly a nightmare. (will this work this time? can you not post a gif to bluesky?)

after all the arguments (and one meeting with no agreement) the board of estimate and taxation just voted to put the minneapolis park and recreation board's maximum levy increase at their full request of 5.86%. total city property tax levy is $609,174,348, which is an 11.9% increase

this specific concept is really my least favorite thing that social media has done to us, the sheer delight people get over creating a backstory about other people’s lives out of a single moment and then just piling on. what a nightmare to be part of this

a catch is when a possession consists of at least one football move, unless there is first intent that can clearly be observed. the if the intent is observed concurrently with the possession, the ball carrier must first establish zone in space. zone in space is an acquiescence of one's football self

fairly pointed letter from minneapolis park and recreation board president and the two elected members of the board of estimate and taxation re: police overspending

Tom Olsen@olsenforparks.bsky.social

Funding for our parks and the very financial foundation of Minneapolis are jeopardized because police spending is out of control. To avoid a reduction in our credit rating and future park service reductions the Mayor and City Council must take action to rein in spending. Please read and share.

two different paragraphs, two different sections but encourage you to click and read the unsealed (pink) of both of them together. And stop and think about the impact and harm to news media and civil society. /8

Eye popping. Court just unsealed Summary Judgment motions in New York Times v OpenAI / Microsoft. Easy to see why the AI companies had so many redactions (pink). Their own people wrote the lede for NYT, the "largest theft of labor in human history"... "more and more substitutive..." /1

i am taking the radical step of allowing myself to feel hope, a decision i will regret for months

How did Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes recover so quickly from his knee injury? You'll need to know about a quick decision, workout buddies, a stress-filled test ... and what those in the Chiefs facility saw over and over. Unlocked and free to read: www.nytimes.com/athletic/758...

for all the concern about AI and deepfakes it's still worth thinking about how easy it is to just make a fake quote you post next to someone's face go viral (this, for example, appears to have originated from a satirical twitter account 2 days ago)

I for one won’t be watching and hope that JK is in for a rude awakening. It’s also pretty crazy to be this overly confident about rehashing your already adapted books with lesser known actors.

I recommend James Stewart's piece on Rick Rescorla, "The Real Heroes Are Dead," published in @newyorker.com in February 2002. www.newyorker.com/magazine/200...

one more story from me before a long weekend:

MinnPost@minnpost.com

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said funding would drop for violence interrupters, calling it a “noble program filled with committed and talented community leaders,” but one that “has not demonstrated the level of results taxpayers deserve.”

The Minneapolis Police Department is on the scene of a shooting in the area of 15 E Grant St. involving multiple victims, including two police officers. Please avoid the area. Additional information will be provided as it becomes available.
