Now I will stipulate that most of the music I listened to in the 80s on WPST, WIOQ, and WXPN was pretty danged white, but isn't there ONE #80s throwback station I can listen to now where I'm just as likely to hear Afrika Bambaataa, Bell Biv Devoe and Nona Hendryx as Thomas Dolby, Eurhythmics, and The Clash?

HASBRO did that!? I can't imagine Hasbro open sourcing anything.

There are very few times that I hope an image is generated by midjourney. This is one of them.
(What's the category/term analogous to LLM that lumps image generators together, anyway?)

Could be worse. The main road to our airport is still named after a nazi (Charles Lindbergh).

#MichaelHarriott notes that the #SCOTUS ruling granting a President, perhaps even one not named Trump, broad immunity for "official acts" is in the tradition of the 1967 ruling that granted a new "qualified immunity" for cops and judges who arrested Freedom Riders in Jackson, Mississippi.

Bruce Schneier's "A Hacker's Mind" noted that many things other than computers are systems that can be hacked. For instance, the rich hack the tax code all the time.
This week, inside actors on the US Supreme Court activated a multi-paylosd ransomware attack. The Federalist Society is an APT group.

I don't buy from Shein and the like but have had some regrets about things I bought at Target or Kohl's that were basically FF.

Ah, that explains TJ Hooker's hair perfectly. It wasn't a wig, it was a holodeck sim.

If only I didn't have a black thumb and an irrational hatred of insects. My brother and I used to have to weed our parents' vegetable garden and it scarred me for life.
But also, fuck Monsanto and everyone they paid to make seed patents legal with a chainsaw, not gently.

This morning Chris and I were watching John Oliver with our coffee, and when it ended, i got up to got to my desk to start work.
She said, "Happy Monday."
I replied "You keep saying that. I do not think it means what you think it means."

I'm blocking threads but following one account there. They don't post frequently enough to be sure yet whether their posts are actually going into my timeline.

HOPE XII had enough right-wing fsckbros that I never wanted to go back. We don't need these deepfakes to just encourage more of them.

System administrators are clerics. We're constantly patching, raising backups from the dead, and invoking the wrath of the gods upon trespassers and the heedless.

Ha, that's just a miniboss. When I was coming up I pulled greenbar off a Siemens high-speed laser printer that was 6' tall and had the footprint of a Sprinter van.
