He shot and missed one attempted to get another in his truck to bring to police.
Before his spree, he called local PD to complain about "foreign" people.

I've recently stumbled upon an RCE "exploit" for the Serendipity blog software, which I happen to use and have contributed to in the past. From what I can tell, it does nothing interesting (it does not even work due to broken indents, if one fixes that it uploads a PHP shell given existing credentials, but that won't be executed unless you have a server config that executes .inc files). I'm 95% certain this is bogus. Yet... in case anyone wants to have a look:

Acquired a new phone for work.
Just need to get a new SIM card for it and tell my employer to update phone numbers in their system.
This way, I can have a better separation between work and private (Phone off -> I'm completely unavailable no real work-related apps on my private phone).
Sadly, "right to be unavailable" it's not (yet) in law in The Netherlands.
Luckily, my employment terms does have other clauses that effectively allow me to do this…

"The most effective kind of propaganda is defined as the kind where the subject moves in the direction you desire for reasons which he believes to be his own."

Tell me this is not exactly what tech companies are doing. And UX, my own industry, has a lot to answer for.

Hot take: TDD is easier with LLM-assist dev. You can tell the computer "write a failing test for XYZ" which is super helpful when you see a bug in the wild that doesn't have a test for it yet because if it did your bug wouldn't have made it past CI.

I also see that misguided narrative in the people who still (but increasingly rarely) dredge up stats about how many Obama- and Biden-era deportations there were, thinking it’s some kind of mic drop, thinking that deportations are the whole of the evil here, an evil we can just tally up with a bean counter.
And to be clear: those deportations •were• inhumane and evil. US treatment of immigrants has been morally intolerable since long before I was born. I need you to know that I know that when I tell you that this is a whole other level.

"Dispensing false information in a confident tone, rather than offering no answer when none is readily available, is a major flaw of generative AI, experts say. An audit of the top 10 generative AI model... by the media literacy non-profit NewsGuard revealed that the non-response rates of chatbots went down from 31% in August 2024 to 0% in August 2025. At the same time, the chatbots’ likelihood of repeating false information almost doubled from 18% to 35%"

Recovered somewhat from whatever that weird fit was at the end of last year.

NHS still has me on some sort of list I think, appointment might turn up next year. Last contact with them they were suggesting maybe November.
But the private treatment gave me the
MRI which
showed nothing weird and post-fit symptoms have been reducing.
Experimented with eating meat to see if that helped.
Tried eating meat for a month to see if it reduced the post-fit symptoms. Maybe it did? Tried vegetarian again and maybe it got worse?
Hard to tell with intermittent symptoms and a terrible memory.
Decided it's more likely to do good than harm (to me, entirely harm to the animals obviously), and eat meat till the end of the year.
While I'm better, I don't really feel fully recovered enough to want to change things so more meat next year I think.
One of those symptoms is that booze tolerance dropped to like zero. Very rarely had more than four pints in a day this year and very rarely more than one night a
week.
Much high number than the target there really.
Tripped over a guy-rope and fell onto the wrist.
Did two days of the festival and the drive home thinking it almost certainly wasn't broken and only confirmed it was when I got home and the hospital put it in a cast.

Tell me you’re paying people to write positive reviews without telling me.

I would not trust the basic competence of any org doing that. Facial recognition is bad enough.
