As a first-year undergrad, I took intro to film. We had to write about a movie of our choice. For whatever reason, I chose "Mr. Mom." My memory of it, which I'd seen as a kid when it came out, was of playful subversion of gender conventions. Holy shit was I wrong. So I wrote a paper about sexism, with some xenophobia I'd totally missed the first time thrown in too. It probably wasn't a good paper, but writing it really helped flush my system of a certain kind of pernici…

Outside Interactive Posted Its First Profit—But It’s No longer Just a Media Company
The platform brought in $125 million in 2025, over 60% of which came from recurring lines of revenue.

Over two days of questioning
during his Senate confirmation hearings last year,
Robert F Kennedy Jr repeated the same answer.
He said the closely scrutinized trip he took to Samoa in 2019,
which came ahead of a devastating measles outbreak,
had “nothing to do with vaccines”.
Documents obtained by the Guardian and the Associated Press undermine that testimony.
Emails sent by staff at the US embassy and the United Nations provide, for the first time, …

Anybody knows, at which time (and with which product) the "reading receipt" ("Lesebestätigung") came up for e-mail? Was it with some early Outlook/Exchange version, or in some earlier messaging system? Lotus Notes maybe?
For chat, probably Blackberry was the first to introduce status like "delivered" and "read". But I wonder, when it began for mails. #techhistory

ReworkCTF boards came in. I can't fully populate them because the Digikey order with the last couple of parts I need isn't coming until Monday but I should be able to populate the back side whenever.
I can also do one of the soldermask challenges, some of the back side inner layer rework, and the front side unpopulated BGA site rework if I want.
But first I have some logistics to sort out WRT streaming and which cameras go where etc to actually record the work. So I guess…

Why the 'planetary parade' social media meme is utter nonsense - and 28 February a particularly bad day to try to see as many #planets as possible at the same time: https://www.facebook.com/dan.fischer.393/posts/pfbid02smbGM7QrfG7KQLojCxEyVyy3mTVQ94pzydHBNnNwb5139GN7fSj1zWAyShyX34tel goes into the details and shows that 19 February would have been a far better choice. While the question remains: which moron came up with the 28th as 'the' date in the first place ... and why did practically nobody (looking at you, news sites ... and space agencies) bother to check the basic facts?

The missile hit during the school’s morning session.
In Iran, the school week runs from Saturday to Thursday, so when US and Israeli bombs began falling at around 10am on Saturday, classes were under way.
At a point between 10am and 10.45am, a missile directly hit Shajareh Tayyebeh school, in Minab, southern Iran, demolishing its concrete building and killing dozens of seven to 12-year-old girls.
Photographs and verified videos from the site, which the Guardian has not publ…

An excellent review of #StarTrek #StarFleetAcademy which fits my viewing experience except I've been watching Star Trek since it first came out on NBC. https://infosec.exchange/@j4yc33/115948886318982523
