It’s weird.

People who wear seatbelts, stop at red lights, won’t let their children out unsupervised, etc show antipathy towards those who wear masks to protect themselves.

People are strange.

By wearing a mask, I don’t let COVID control my life. I take control of COVID.

Yep. That’s pretty much the definitive statement on people - they’re strange.😃

I’m waiting for Cap’n Guyliner's groupies to start in...

Tonight, I spontaneously poked the Whiprays' community server for +3 in Swim or Sink. As it turns out, there were three Whiprays available - N8te, Eon, and Fish - plus another friend, Nox, who could play once Fish had to leave.

Together, under the banner of Gill O' Teen, we took third place in Mako bracket!

Activist Alejandra Caraballo shared the except from the Times, adding, "JD Vance and his wife were previously close friends with a trans classmate at Yale Law. That all changed in 2021 as he eyed running for senate in Ohio. Vance will throw his friends, family, and loved ones under the bus for political power."

It's not going to stop. That's what global climate change is going to do.

The Blorfington Post is not a reliable source of weather information.

Neither is Weather Channel.

Or Fox Weather.

Or Accuweather.

You know how to read a weather map.

You're telling me a alien weaved this Sigourney

Hold up, WaPo, what the fuck did you just say? You’re answering climate questions using fucking generative AI? Y’all, I don’t have the words to describe just how stupid that is.

All I can say is, I’m glad I’m not paying for this shit directly. (I get my WaPo access through the Los Angeles Public Library.)
A partial screenshot of a Washington Post article displayed in Safari for iOS. The following is boldfaced and at the top: “Ask your climate questions. With the help of generative Al, we'll try to deliver answers based on our published reporting.”
I realize I’m (mostly) speaking to the choir here. Most of you are well-versed in the myriad harms presented by generative AI. That said, in case you need proof of its adverse environmental impact, examples abound.

Happy Hour News

I think we all have been holding our breath wondering what the callous Yutes of Today were gonna do during the 20204 Goat Rodeo when the choice was between two old dudes (one admittedly a monster), and they were not budging. And they described themselves as double-haters, and said they planned to turn to independent candidates if they’d bother to get off the couch at all.

They’ve budged:

The election just got a lot more interesting. It’s inspiring young voters to register.


Move over Taylor Swift. Vice President Kamala Harris may be one-upping you ‒ at voter registration anyway.

Last September on National Voter Registration Day, Swift set a record by encouraging more than 30,000 people to register in a single day.

But in the first 48 hours after President Joe Biden bowed out of his bid for reelection and Harris announced she was running in his place, more than 38,500 registered, according to Vote.org, a nonpartisan platform that encourages voter registration.

As of Friday morning, the figure had surged past 100,000.

Holy cow!
“An engaged electorate is the cornerstone of a healthy democracy, and this continued wave of voter enthusiasm shows that Americans are determined to make their voices heard,” Andrea Hailey, CEO of Vote.org, said in an emailed statement to USA TODAY. “The surge of youth engagement is a strong indication that the next generation is motivated to show up this November.”

As we’ve been saying all along this Goat Rodeo, it is going to be won and lost depending on getting more new people into our column than into Team Evil’s. And I gotta think —I just gotta!— that most of those under 35 voters are not signing up for the 4th Reich.

I might be hope scrolling these days, but this is nothing but good news for democracy (little dee).

One consequence of the go-go Obama years and the reactionary Trump aftermath is there’s an entire generation of otherwise smart adults who never had to figure out why things are the way they are. So they end up, a full decade too late, mystified that the electric car rockets guy is a fascist or the sentient bowling balls who funded the app-based lifestyles of the 2010s are trying to reinstitute feudalism.

Turns out those liberal arts educations are worth something after all.

The Crowdstrike glitch that just took out Windows machines all over the planet, explained by Dave Plummer. Crowdstrike made a kernel driver that watched programs' behavior to try to detect viruses before a regular anti-virus would, but it depended on an external file for updates. A recent update downloaded a file full of all 0s. And that didn't work.

@David Bump The evidence does suggest MS is pretty much at fault. Here's a couple of comments on slash dot that supports that idea. MS knew about the vulnerability.
In Windows NT up until 3.51, drivers lived in user space. Because of perceived sluggishness of NT, in NT 4 drivers moved into kernel space. This gave a performance boost, but at the cost of system stability. In the book "Showstopper", Dave Cutler (architect of NT) railed against this sort of thing precisely because of the instability it allowed.

macOS absolutely prohibits anything other than Apple code running in kernel space, yet CrowdString's Falcon operates there just fine.

CrowdStrike caused the disaster, for sure. But Microsoft laid the foundation for this disaster back in 1994.

Crowdstrike did the excact same thing to Linux servers earlier this year, sending them into kernel panic. https://www.tomshardware.com/software/linux/crowdstrike-issues-go-beyond-windows-companys-security-software-has-reportedly-been-causing-kernel-panics-since-at-least-april
