Far Side comic:

A cruise ship is sailing, with a party on the deck.

In tbe water in front of it are a swift boat, & a larger warship. Three sea mines are in the path of the cruise ship.

Caption: Through a gross navigational error, the Love Boat steams into the Strait of Hormuz.

Sad TV clown Whiskey Pete’s trying to huff a little T off the integrated luxury military bought by tiger immigrants and Type A’s, and is so dumb he’s trying to throttle it at the same time.

I really don’t like the fact that this feels like it starts to overlap with Hayes Modem AT commands.

While Grim's weaponization of "Believe Women" in 2020 was gross and cynical exploitation of actual victims in the service of ratfucking, it was at least assertive of the concept of shared virtue.

While more earnest in many ways, I'm overall less enthused with his new deontology "Believe Nazis"

I've run MX servers for decades. Make sure IP isn't on some blacklist; Spamhaus, SORBS, Baraccuda, etc. Make sure DNS (MX+PTR+SPF+DKIM+DMARC+BIMI), MTA-STS and lock down directions on firewall. (25, 587, 465)

It's not as complicated as it's made out to be.

Clouds just someone else's computer.

never forget: the term “neckbeard” was originally coined on a USENET forum about dealing with spam when admining an SMTP server.

Are we totally sure it’s the “liberals” who are the problem here? It’s hard to tell. Most of his stans appear to be Fetterman/Bernie Bros.

why are you Oyster Bros always lying about him getting it removed? Oyster Boy didn’t get it removed! He’s only getting it covered up. It’s literally a “cover-up job”.

Bannon’s “No Scalps” policy apparently did NOT apply to “No Extensions”.

True. I could perhaps have framed it more as a shift from a kind of repressive approach to sex to a luridly expressive one
