Got all my managed sites offline an hour before patch. Back online by 40 mins after. I feel like I should call it a day. #php2shell

Sitting on my patio cranking away on some work with Supernatural playing in the background. Love the show... but OMG... the sound effects are the worst to have playing in open air...

i'm old enough in OS terms that I still prefer opening the calculator app on Windows and MacOS instead of just typing in the thing I want to calculate.

So today i discovered that Google Calendar app doesn’t show all day events when you’re viewing “Day”. Being that i kinda depend on that for birthdays and other things it’s really annoying. Every other view. But not this one.

I really "love" how google work email treats a reported phishing email as something wrong in my security setup. I received a very obvious phishing email. Flagged it as phishing. a day later i receive a google workspace email "Your org security may be vulnerable due to recent team phishing reports"

I’m on my fourth watch through of The West Wing and i cry harder each time i do. I miss civility even feigned. It doesn’t need to be perfect. I miss leaving the 494/694 loop and not getting anxiety about getting harassed. I’m not sure I’ll ever see it in my lifetime again and that makes me sad.

My macbook got stolen off my patio today the one time i forgot to take it in before leaving. Saw a shady dude while leaving and waved and said hello. Tracked it to the ne library. Same dude. Tracked it to the park. Same dude. Confronted him. Got called a stalker. It’s on a tour of ne mpls rn.

It’s encrypted and locked. I’ve disabled all the ssh access it has. Logged out of everything and marked it lost. Only value for him is if someone wants to melt it down. Honestly. He took the laptop but left the beats pros sitting next to it. I should go see if he’ll trade. No interest in cops.

House deductible is $1k and the laptop replacement is $1,299. So that’s not worth it. Dude went to the liquor store before the park and was drinking at the park. Knows me by sight. Probably trying to offload it. Lost message has my contact info and no questions statement.

I need to go more north next time but the storm cleared out the clouds and with a basically moonless night it was perfect to drag the kids out for stargazing. I wish i had planned a bit further ahead but we got 45 minutes away.

It’s hard to get a 12 & 13 year old to enjoy a mini trip with mom at last minute. Highlights: - fireflies - we were 10 miles north of where the street lights end on 169 - watched the ISS go overhead

Already got a bather! Sound on to hear my void watching with me.

New addition to the circulating bird bath this year. Alt: a very confused frog on a few ceramic pot bases has water trickling from around it. Inside a larger bird bath.

I’ve had silence unknown numbers turned on for over a year. I get at least 10 calls a day silenced. Didn’t know there was a screen option. Hard nope.

The "Screen Unknown Numbers" feature on iOS has been incredible. I would love to hear from folks who have to cold call on how disheartening it is to get the 'you're being screened by this user' message

The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today. Not nationwide. Not in Colorado. Not anywhere. Here's what actually happened in Chiles v. Salazar—and why the coverage you're seeing serves the conservative legal movement more than it serves you.

At 8:30 PM on Saturday night we have ICE in the quarry parking lot and they start driving off erratically through the City the minute people go up and try to talk to them. Their lawlessness and terror continues so please continue to be out there looking out for your neighbors and staying safe.

Joanne Bland passed away today. She was just was 11 when she marched in Selma on March 7, 1965, known today as "Bloody Sunday." Joanne led my students on a number of tours of Selma. I usually just sat back and watched her go. She was a remarkable woman, who will be dearly missed. #BlackHistoryMonth

In an interview with MPR News, Liam's mother gave an update on her son and her own safety. She said Liam asks again and again, “Mommy, why don’t you pick us up?” Or “Mommy, we don’t want to be here anymore. This place is ugly.”

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work. I don’t let bullies win. Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

Here's what ICE is up to in Northeast Minneapolis today. Absolutely heartbreaking. Warning: video is hard to watch

Two community members stand on the street corner of Central Ave and 18th St, watching over a local business in 5° temps with a wind chill of -15°. They are patrolling the area, keeping an eye out for ICE activity, doing what they can to protect their immigrant neighbors.
