Drawing: Possible causes of your problems. I've been appalled at the scenes we've witnessed over the last few days. It's utterly unacceptable that people should have to live in fear because of the colour of their skin.

Comments from people opposing the proposed sale of land in Australia to Tesla for a battery factory, with some censorship from the city collecting those comments:

“Because Elon Musk is a [redacted] human being and a [redacted]!” one person wrote.

“Elon Musk and Tesla are a [redacted] on humanity,” another said.

“Elon Musk is a full blown [redacted],” was another’s blunt assessment. While a further submission argued the site was not right for Musk: “Destroying trees to build a factory for a company owned by a [redacted] would be a vile choice.”

“We should not support and put money in the pockets of a [redacted] who openly [redacted] salutes, is [redacted] human,” was another’s take on Tesla moving into Marion.

🚨 BREAKING: GreyNoise discovered a sophisticated backdoor campaign compromising ~9,000 ASUS routers worldwide. Unlike typical malware attacks, this operation uses the router's own legitimate features to create persistent backdoors that survive firmware updates and reboots.

From a private conversation elsewhere: "The Canonical interview process is the best advertisement for Debian that's ever been made."

Apropos of several things floating across my TL, I just want to say as somebody who teaches college:

Yes, absolutely, politically conservative students on campus end up feeling uncomfortable in their views, constantly challenged. 100%.

So do leftists.

So do centrists.

So do students who attempt to be apolitical.

Nobody gets to hang out on campus feeling comfortable and cushy in their worldview. That is…you know…kind of the point of the place.

I cannot emphasize to you strongly enough just how right @jwz is about this

Freaky Taies (2025): I have watched this three times. It is four interleaved stories, happening simultaneously in 1987, and the first one is a bunch of Gilman punks absolutely eviscerating some Nazis. If you aren't already in, I can't help you. It is "Pulp Oakland". The attention to detail is fantastic. Whoever made this.... was there. Also the Easter eggs! The cameos! The film references! ...
