@Viss honestly this was also the case long before k8s and docker, those tools just let clueless people deploy things insecurely in entirely new and fucked up ways, as opposed to the old fucked up ways
The hardest disbelief to suspend about the show.
Oh, fuck off, #BrokenTimes. The #MandamiVendetta continues with a fluffing of the sexual harasser.

Andrew Cuomo Test Drives a Warmer, Friendlier Version of Himself

Mr. Cuomo, the former governor of New York, has vowed to run a more energetic campaign than he did in the mayoral primary, and aimed to demonstrate that on Tuesday.

US government announces $200 million Grok contract a week after โ€˜MechaHitlerโ€™ incident

The US Defense Department is awarding Elon Muskโ€™s xAI a contract to help โ€œdevelop agentic AI workflowsโ€ following an ill-fated Grok update.

Ex-farm worker here.

We need to talk about this whole "But a living wage for farm workers would spike the cost of food!" thing.

Not true AT ALL.

Y'all don't understand how fast experienced farm workers are.

The average tomato picker pulls 650lbs per hour.

At $20/hr, that's $0.03/lb for labor.

There should be an episode of every Star Trek where the whole ship falls apart because Scottie, Geordi, Miles, and B'Elanna have been repeatedly forced to do a two day job in two hours.

A few things I notice about this as a fellow NYC teacher.

1. This guy goes all out for his kids, keeping the park reservation slots at that location, which is one of the best in the city is hard. He's on top of the paperwork, and going the extra mile so they can do their sports.

2. This was racial profiling most likely. Just targeting kids because they aren't white.

Captain! The Furungi have taken over the ship!
@georgetakei #ALT4you a screenshot of a social media post from an account named Retro Toys and Cartoons, featuring an image of a mushroom in a forest in the shape of the Starship Enterprise, and the text "Space: The Fungal Frontier".
@georgetakei - I bet thereโ€™s not mush room insideโ€ฆ.
@georgetakei
It should look like Discovery, shouldn't it?
@georgetakei This is all getting a bit too meta for my brain...
@georgetakei so that's what the Spore Drive was all about

@georgetakei

These are the mycelium of the sporeship, Mushie Fries. It's sponge-tinuing mission, to re-spore strange new worlds. To seek out new dark places and new portobellations. To boldly grow, where no 'shroom has bloomed before.

@georgetakei imagine any time space. The spore has been there
@georgetakei You can do lots of things with DALLยทE

@georgetakei Live long and hallucinate. ๐Ÿ––
@georgetakei first sighting of the Discovery....
@georgetakei Well that hardly hurt at all.
@georgetakei I thought Discovery was the only ship with a spore drive!? Clearly not.
@georgetakei Very special. Nature is wonderful. If only we took more care of her.
@georgetakei Don't eat the Starcap mushrooms!
@georgetakei Unfortunately, that looks AI generated. But somewhat cool anyway.
@georgetakei Black alert! Activating spore drive
