I do think we should buy Greenland, if Denmark is willing to sell.
And then we should name it Megasota (opposite of Minnesota).

Tokky Blocky
It is absolutely fucking batshit insane that we’ve allowed TikTok to operate so long. It is without exaggeration an openly-operating propaganda arm of the CCP. This is just so freakin’ absurd.
Not Too
The liberals and progressives have become total nutballs about this, to a level I just cannot understand. They moved so fast from #MeToo to “If you can’t stand some sexual assault, being set on fire, or your kids being abused, you’re a MAGA loser!” I mean, what the fuck.
Rolling In the Conference Room
How many jobs are really just One Job?
These days, none. All the executive assistants, secretaries, even the junior team members have been wiped out. I’ve had similar jobs all throughout my IT career 1 and when I started more than 20 years ago, I had an assistant. That’d be unheard of now. I also only had 2-3 actual roles. The expectations were much smaller back then even at a similar career level.
Now I have somewhere between 20-30 roles. This seems to only getting worse. One of the reasons jobs are so much more cognitively demanding now is that most people can be ok to good at a few things, but it takes a whole different breed to be competent at 20+.
But that’s what the corporate types are demanding these days.
Some Mond
California Man Fights Fire With Almond Milk.
This is the only use almond milk actually has. It is unfit for human consumption as it tastes like licking a dirty toilet bowl. Or at least how I imagine that would taste, that not being a hobby of mine.
Rammed
Fuckin’ Safari, man. I just have some YouTube tabs open. Not even that many. That browser consumes more RAM than makes any kind of sense.
Deep Sea Diver – Shovel
Great song, with strong Kate Bush vibes.
็พๆๅญฆ- ใใจใคใฌ
Such a pretty song. I’d rather the video was of them performing or similar, but hey, it’s hard to complain about a vid of attractive Japanese women goofing around. There are worse things.
Over Time
So strange how the feminist project of the past decade or more has been to re-infantilize women and revert progress back to the 1950s or before. Do all movements trend toward conservatism over time?
I really do believe that soon feminists will be calling for a male relative to accompany women everywhere.

It's mathematically impossible to stop malware.
Due to Rice's Theorem, it's impossible to write a program that can perfectly determine if any given program is malicious.
This is because "being malicious" is a behavioral property of the program.

Yep. I’m not much of a programmer, but even I could write a program that would work fine for years. Do exactly what it was supposed to. And then, when some date or other trigger is hit, it’d assemble from random innocuous-looking code another program that nuked your computer and everything it could reach on the network. This isn’t even that hard 1.
