How the Fediverse is going for me: posting from Micro.blog; boosting from Mastodon.
All science is either physics or stamp collecting.
Lots of stuff I didn’t know before. 📺
I get so much utility from Twitter. For one tiny aspect, it’s the best way for me to keep up to date with CTA status and National Weather Service reports.
Yet again, [expletive] git is so damn bad at merging YAML.
The first evidence for dark matter in a black hole?! 📺
This is really good. Starting to understand this idea of dark matter being “collisionless”.
One of today’s moods.
Weird reading the announcement about some new music “… features backing vocals by the late, great [musician that you like]…”. “Late”? One visit to Wikipedia later, you learn that they died six months ago.
I played this for a friend once and he said that it was too much an example of the thing it is trying to criticize.
I still like it and the sentiment, having had to live through the decade.
Chrome and Safari still don’t have built-in JSON formatting? Seriously? Steal Firefox’s JSON handling, please.
Malware that likes to give the middle finger to anyone that wants to de-fang it.
Most malware, when it fails a sandbox, or anti-analysis check, will typically halt execution and quit. This hostility in this script was interesting. When the check fails, rather than quitting, it will disable the systems network adapters, use netsh to configure the Windows Firewall to block all inbound and outbound traffic, and then uses an obfuscated PowerShell command “(&gal [?r0]*m)” in place of the “Remove-Item” commandlet, to delete everything in the user’s profile directory, G:, F:, and E:\ drives recursively. Then the computer will shut down via the commandlet “Stop-Computer”.
I just “love” responses from the Slack API like fatal_error; not only are they uninformative, they’re not valid JSON.
ASMR insanity: Drunk Mel Gibson Arrest Diorama 📺
So, so awesome.
I wish Linux supported SIGINFO.
I ❤️ HTTP status 204.
Gotta be one of the best hooks ever:
🎵 Who will tell my drunken friend that she will die and go to Hell? 🎵
Streaming services need a hide-all-horror-movies switch. I don’t even want to see the poster images.
MOnuMENTImotion: 10 minutes of fine eastern European weirdness. 📺
Today has turned out to be Spomenik Day.
“Miami is a vibrant, growing metropolis that embodies the American Dream — embracing the possibilities of what can be achieved by a community working to build a future together,” Griffin wrote.

Reminds me of Hyman Roth finding a government that he can work with.
