Antifascist. Pro-people. Love me some music. Sometimes I make it. Love photos. Sometimes I take them. Love my kid. Always & forever.

Academic who likes academia as a friend.

I'm sure my employers disagree with much of what I post.

he/him or whatever, as long as it's not directly, personally insulting

Alt-text: Gimme a minute after I post before reminding me.

I sometimes obscure my employers (to protect me, not them)

When you see a man who's broken	Pick him up and carry him
When you see a woman who's broken	Put her all into your arms
b/c we don't know where we come from	we don't know what we are
and you	you're no one
and you	you're falling
and you	you're traveling... at the speed of light

"The Army “found no relational improvement difference in cybersecurity outcomes between the annual training and other less burdensome forms of awareness,” according to a senior service official."

I'm reading that someone invested in a shitty, ineffective training program (once a year? really?), and someone else is just now realizing it sucks.

I've had the Gravity DVD for a couple of years. It was on sale. I felt like I should watch it, to know what the hype was about. I finally put it in and half-watched it while doing some data analysis. Impressions:

It's kind of short: 90 minutes

It's a lot more action-packed than I expected for a tense thriller about a damaged space shuttle

George Clooney doesn't steal the show, and his character is very self-deprecating. That was fun.

Sandra Bullock takes her pants off a lot

In a just world, any Russian spokesperson complaining about "legitimizing aggression" would be slapped soundly across the face with an eel.

Wild guess: frequent nightmares are an indicator of underlying neurological, possibly alternative development, conditions, like that ring finger thing or being left-handed.

Paying attention to nightmares may be a good idea. Recent research shows frequent nightmares are stronger predictors of early death than smoking, obesity, poor diet or sloth https://www.economist.com/science-and-technology/2025/08/08/are-nightmares-bad-for-your-health?taid=69d070b81646ae00010c0729&utm_campaign=editorial-social&utm_content=discovery.content&utm_medium=social-media.content.np&utm_source=twitter

Are nightmares bad for your health?

If you have them often, the answer seems to be yes

First, this is really neat. Second, the title "Prophesy", is a verb. The comment "Prophecy", is a noun. They mean different but related things, and (at least in the USA) they are pronounced differently. The two together might be a mistake, but I like it.
