Hacktivists tried to find a workaround to Discord’s age-verification software, Persona. Instead, they found its frontend exposed to the open internet, and that was just the beginning.

Some of the billionaires in the Epstein Files are the same ones funding or backing age and identity verification online.
Do you trust them with your childrens’ info?
With whistles becoming a hot item for protests, does this mean that Bubb Rubb and ‘Lil Sis were just ahead of their time?
“The whistles go WOOOO!”

Ring's 'Search Party' is dystopian surveillance accelerationism.

As a social movements scholar, I absolutely love the diversity of tactics being developed by each city, reflecting their local flavor
Portland kept it weird with inflatable costumes
Chicago protected its street vendors by buying up their food each day
Charlotte chased ICE agents into the woods
Still hospitalized but in stable condition is about the closest I’ve heard. Updates are rather limited.

First platelet donation of 2026 in the bag!
Also hit the 18 donation mark last week to get on the plaque at my donation center for a second year. Just made it!

Nothing like having your home alarm go off at 3:30am to help your sleep patterns.
Looks like someone tried to get into the garage, but got spooked when they set off the alarm.
Kinda interesting: so I have talked to several kids under 12 from different parts of the US, and none of them were familiar with Pig-Latin. Which is a bit of a bummer since there's evidence it goes back to the 16th century or earlier. In general, there's almost no "kid-cant" familiarity.

Modern privilege problems: Nobody switches to just parking lights anymore when cruising around a heavily decorated neighborhood.
It’s just a long row of cars with ultra-bright headlights frying eyeballs and overpowering the holiday lights.
Weirdly difficult to find chocolate-covered marshmallow candies this holiday season.

Finally getting around to rebuilding my work portfolio and linking it to my Start.Me pages.
Just takes time to review what I’ve had saved, re-confirm there’s nothing confidential or proprietary, and add in some commentary about the various samples.
Been escaping into finishing off video games lately. 100% completed #Maneater 🦈, and now 100% achievement on #NeedForSpeed Heat 🏁.

Closeup of three yellow macarons with yellow frosting on a lavender-colored plastic plate. The macarons have a vague suggestion of being round, with a bubbly, not-smooth-at-all, non-shiny texture. These were the best of the batch.
The broken, misshapen rest of the macaron batch, yellow cookies with yellow buttercreme frosting. The cookie parts are all blobbed and broken in different ways. None of the sides match. If poorly-made cookies were a war crime, I’d be getting dragged to the Hague. If Gordon Ramsay saw these, he’d be holding two slices of bread to my ears and calling me an idiot sandwich. Okay, maybe not. GR would recognize this was my very first time making these and I have no training. Still tasty vanilla, though.
Very first time making macarons. Uhhh… nailed it? (No, the answer is no. 😂 ) Still tasty, though.

Stumbled upon this study on the evolution of Strategy Game UI over the years by Treeform. Cool to see the reduction in screen real-estate

If you can spare a few dollars, Requiem Cafe needs your help.
This is an important location to a lot of folks, both locally and via Discord, especially within the LGBTQ+ community. Their landlord isn’t upholding their part of the contract agreements

Oh joy. Just got hate crimed. Had somebody (suspect next door neighbor) take the pride flag sign off our porch and kick the door.
