Hackers Dox Hundreds of DHS, ICE, FBI, and DOJ Officials Scattered LAPSUS$ Huntersβ€”one of the latest amalgamations of typically young, reckless, and English-speaking hackersβ€”posted the apparent phone numbers and addresses of hundreds of government officials...

New: hackers just doxed hundreds of DHS, ICE, FBI, and DOJ officials. I went through the data. In many cases does look legitimate, sometimes includes residential addresses.

Windows 10 end of life is today, and a lot of people don't want to switch to 11 because they fucking hate it but didn't know what they could do to get the Extended Security Updates; well it seems like this might be something:

Also the shadow of his paw is fantastic. I wish the photo was a bit clearer but I love these two idiots and Mewt has as much sass now as when she was a kitten.

So I have been spending this Halloween season reading @haileypiperfights.bsky.social's cosmic horror novel THE WORM AND HIS KINGS and holy hell...I just love how she instantly jumps into the cult action and eldritch cosmology almost instantly. This is the stuff I crave the most from the genre! πŸ–€

It's cold now so Mewt has become Lap Cat again. She only becomes a proper lap cat when it is cold outside, otherwise she prefers my chest.

This has been true since I first adopted her 4 years ago (damn, almost EXACTLY 4 years ago! Oct. 12!) and she spent the whole fall and winter snuggled with me.

[horror narration voice] 

My father once said the devil went down in Kentucky, and in Twink County, he liked what he saw. I certainly can't disagreeβ€”sullenness, blasphemy, and drinking abound. Now the bishop tasked me with rectifying this unruly parish, but deep down, he thinks it's impossible. Little does he knowβ€”

, The Bulwark, posted 7 hours ago, quoting JD Vance on public outrage over an "I love Hitler" group chat: "Grow up! Focus on the real issues. Don't focus on what kids say in group chats... The reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys β€” they tell edgy, offensive jokes. That's what kids do." The post includes a video still from "Real America's Voice" featuring JD Vance, Vice President of the United States, speaking at a podium with an American flag in the background, alongside the "Charlie Kirk" logo.

One of the Biggest Cases of the Supreme Court’s Term Is John Roberts’ Decadeslong Pet Project If there’s one thing the Roberts court has been consistent on, it’s this.

Everything about John Roberts's approach to the Voting Rights Act makes sense when you remember that John Roberts has has always been hostile to the Voting Rights Act, never believed it was appropriate, and has spent most of his 45-year legal career working to hollow it out.

Trans women are building their own publishing world, and it’s under threat Online communities are stepping in where traditional publishing stops.

Today for @theverge.com, I talk about transfem narratives: the epistemic lockout from mainstream publishing, the advantages and pitfalls of the self-pub model, and what a global transmisogynistic panic implies for our ability to make our voices heard and represent our own lives and worlds.

Literally the entire concept gelled around the line from "The Library at Hellebore":

"Are we the wasp or the fig?"

Who DOESN'T want to be a transitional step in the life cycle of extrdimensional bugs?

(other inspirations include The Deep Apiarist from "Heart" and the Johrlac from InCryptid)

Thanks to inspiration from @casskhaw.bsky.social 's "The Library at Hellebore" and @bitterkarella.bsky.social 's "Moonflow" I am now playing a character in a superhero game who ate some literal magic shrooms and accidentally became host to an eldritch insect hive.

Again, if you’re a leader or politician playing dumb I’m just going to take you at your word. You ACIDENTALLY staffed your office with Nazis? Ok, you’re a fucking incurious dullard , unable to meet the moment, and you need to stand down due to gross incompetence.
