was watching plex late last night, and heard a tremendous KRAK! sound come from the basement. movie stopped playing a few seconds later

checked on the server, and it was dead in the water. here’s why. anyone recognize that component in the PSU? some kind of filter or conditioner? it had a full explosive meltdown, RIFA-style.

i really, really hope this didn’t take out any hard drives or the motherboard with it.

I’m, ‘I got it on VHS’ years old.

@johnglass they have the discretion and it usually favors fascism. Maggie Haberman comes to mind.

They're about to announce the artemis astronauts and i didn't apply and I'm probably unqualified but I'm so nervous, what if they pick me and i have to go to the moon

Luchin linked his "volunteer" card to his AliExpress account, and hackers gained access to it. Now, instead of drones, Luchin is receiving truckloads of dildos and strap-on (more) #Ukraine #News #Invasion #Russia #9yearsOfWarInUkraine #WantedDeadOrAlive

I made cute plant markers over the weekend. :)

What the fucking fuck? The QAnon Shaman is being released waaaaay ahead of his 41-month sentence for trying to overthrow the damned government. This is white-man justice.

I just learned that Britain’s deadliest animal is the cow, killing as it does nearly 3 people each year. Not 3 whole people. Just nearly 3

Now if that’s not quintessentially British, I don’t know what is.

I remember when Aaron Swartz was criminally prosecuted for downloading too many academic journal articles, but, sure, it's totally cool to scrape everyone's personal photographs as part of a commercial effort to market discriminatory surveillance tech to police departments.

Peter Beinart is absolutely right. One of the biggest reasons the political left is weak in the US is that many of us on the left choose to tear away at each other across lines that divide us, rather than making common cause and turning our critical focus towards those who really deserve that focus, those setting us against each other from the top of the economic ladder.

The lack of solidarity of many on the left in US, and the insistence on purism tests: so politically dumb.
