me: *low whistles*
me: "Damn, check out THOSE bollards!"
8yo: "What?"
me: "These metal things. they're nice, aren't they? No drivers parking on this sidewalk!"
8yo: *lays down on one*
8yo: "Yeah, they're good, I guess."
#SafeStreets

A manhattan street corner at night. It's fairly dark (what's up w/ the lack of lights??), but along the border of the sidewalk are some metal bollards that are rectangles on one side, and 5 sides on the other (one sloped side that you can lean on) on the other. They're spaced about 3ft apart, and they're probably 15" wide. One bollard basically divides the sidewalk in half.
Another angle of the bollards, this time taken FROM the street corner towards the end of the block. The bollards extend the entire length of the block, at least 30 metal bollards visible but you can't really see how many more go down due to distance and people walking on the sidewalk. The vertical side of the bollards face out towards the street, and then 45deg angled side faces towards the building.
Another shot taken from the street corner, this time facing the street and crosswalk. One bollard sits in the middle of the curb ramp top landing, which is absolutely an ADA violation. The ramp tactile mat also faces out towards the middle of the intersection rather than facing the crosswalks, but again - fuck disabled people, amirite?

But at least the bollards are nice!

How I wish I was spending my #Caturday :

A tuxedo cat asleep on a white fuzzy window sill cat perch. She is sprawled out sideways, paws with pink toebeans out. She is in full sunlight, with shadow lines across her from the colonial style windows.
Same cat sleeping on the same window perch, just a different angle. A closer look at her face, eyes shut tight, nose scrunched as she actively snores.

Oh look, tax cheats. #epstein

An email from Epstein to Nathan Myhrvold on Nov 6, 2016. The email reads, "Did you have a small smile when you read that he was able to deduct $900mil of losses that other people funded?  It took them 10 years to close that loophole."
Continuing the email thread, Myhrvold responds to Epstein, "Quite a trick for as long as it lasted..."

Epstein responds, "'Trick' is such a cheap word 😃.   The Times' article said they were unable to find [out] who came up with the idea."

Myhrvold responds, "Ok, how about masterstroke, maestro?"

Epstein follows up with, "And you the master baker.  Did I pronounce that right?"   [for context, Myhrvold was publishing a cookbook at the time.]

If installing a bidet is "aspirational," where does that leave universal child care?

Claude Sonnet 4 describes the image as: "This image shows a scene from what appears to be a science fiction television production, likely from the late 1970s or early 1980s based on the visual style and production quality. The setting appears to be the interior of a spacecraft or futuristic facility, with characteristic lighting and metallic surfaces visible in the background.

The scene features dramatic lighting with warm, golden highlights against darker areas, creating an atmospheric mood t…

Didn't all the idiots vote for Trump because "he tells it like it is"? He's telling you that he's taking over the media, he's telling you that he started a war that he has no idea how to finish, he's telling you that he wants to rig elections, he's telling you that he hates veterans and reports any absolutely anyone whom he considers "not loyal", he's telling you that he's an autocrat. And yet somehow they still don't hear him?

I fucking hate war, but I have to admit that there's a real possibility that we (and they) blow up everyone's oil refineries and we finally wean ourselves off of fossil fuels. The absolutely stupidest and most violent way possible.

Years ago, I was working for a non-profit on a contract basis (illegally on their part, since I should've been classified as an employee under state law; that's what we call a red flag, folks). I'd never met the executive directory (ED), but he was in the office one day.
I was showing my boss the kernel driver I'd just gotten working, and demoing it working on the prototype hardware. My boss calls in the ED to show him as well. The ED is impressed. (1/2)

We outnumber the pigs. By a lot.
They don't win by using force. They don't win by shooting us, or kidnapping us, or locking us up. If anything, that kind of thing backfires. They don't win by making us afraid or angry.
They win through propaganda, by making us turn on each other, by making us feel hopeless or that any of this is inevitable. They win by leading us to believe that any of their behavior is justified.
Take care of yourself and each other, and shut d…

Holy shit, why am I maintaining #chromium packages instead of hunting for security holes in it?!

"This update includes 29 security fixes. Please see the Chrome Security Page for more information."

Then there's a list of CVEs, with things like "Critical CVE-2026-3913: Heap buffer overflow in WebML. Reported by Tobias Wienand on 2026-02-10"

The first CVE paid out $33k. The next two paid $43k each, and the one after that $36k. The next one is _only_ $11k.

That's $166k in payouts to security researchers, and it's only 5 out of the listed 29 security fixes!

For this footage, the federal government first claimed that it could not afford the storage space necessary to take the footage that it did have and produce it for discovery to the plaintiffs’ lawyers in the case. The plaintiffs’ lawyers, representing Broadview’s detainees, then purchased 78 terabytes of empty hard drives and gave them to the federal government, according to court records. This included three 8-terabyte SSDs and three 18-terabyte hard drives.
