Belly full of pho, off work on time, and rather content.
Today may not be a terrible day after all.
See my previous posts. I am again looking for a temporary place for Kilee, a lovable dog. He doesn't bark, doesn't chew, and is house-trained. He reacts aggressively towards other dogs and isn't ideal for cats. The owner is homeless after the two fled an abusive house. Anybody? #yeg

Sometimes you just need the right amount of demos to reset yourself, gaming-wise. Good thing there are always new demos every day!

"Moderna's CEO announced the company will no longer invest in new Phase 3 vaccine trials for infectious diseases: 'You cannot make a return on investment if you don't have access to the U.S. market. Vaccines for Epstein-Barr virus, herpes, and shingles have been shelved.” 9:12 AM Feb 12, 2026 604.8K Views
In terms of what cures are being lost:
- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease
A logical consequence of the gamification of software.

This week is your last chance to watch (or rewatch) She-Ra and the Princesses of Power before Netflix deletes it on 20th Feb.
One of my favourite shows - animated or otherwise - of the last ten years.
Absolutely do NOT give your ID or face scan on Discord. It's even worse than expected. Apparently due to people bypassing current systems, they're switching to "persona" which is funded by fucking Peter Thiel.

As for humans, Persona hopes to build identity profiles for each person using the hundreds of activities they do online over time, like ordering food or scrolling social media, so Persona can more quickly verify they’re human. Song said these profiles would be tamper resistant and reusable so that they can be submitted on any site during the verification process, which he thinks people will want to use despite the obvious privacy tradeoffs. “Today you're disclosing more and more about yourself. You're just giving up so much information,” Song said. “Our dream is this idea of a self-sovereign, personally-owned portable identity.” https://www.forbes.com/sites/rashishrivastava/2025/04/30/ai-is-making-the-internets-bot-problem-worse-this-2-billion-startup-is-on-the-front-lines/
This is who you are sending your data to when you use age verification with Discord or VRChat.
Because they aren’t using it for age, they legitimately want to track you everywhere, everyday and learn what you are doing.
Fall out of favor? They know everything to make your life hell.

Let me know what you find, my current one is on its last legs.
The pronoun labeler, which was by far the most useful labeler on the site, was deleted by its creator. But thanks to @ripperoni.com there’s a new one available. I highly recommend it. It’s a great way to share your pronouns or see someone else’s pronouns at a glance.

Well holy fucking shit. Ring cancelled their partnership with Flock. Keep pressure on them to stop volunteering their feeds to state, local, and federal agencies, though, because that part's still going.

Check your bsky settings. Looks like one of the recent updates defaulted the option to require alt text to off even if you previously enabled the function. And if you aren’t using alt text, now is a good time to start.
