oh no what have you done

The vast majority of people who will be impacted by trans bans in sports will be little girls with short hair or arms that are "too muscular."

It will also mean that when a woman is good at her sport the disgusting grumbling and whispering about "may she is he" gets taken more seriously.

This happened with Paula Radcliffe for running marathons too fast. If it helps you to think of a white cis woman being the victim of this.

Of course little black girls will take the brunt of this. As ever.

Duh...

In today's episode of "Can It Run Doom": DNS fucking TXT records.

Some absolute madlad (cough Adam Rice cough) compressed the entire shareware DOOM WAD, split it into around 1,964 chunks, shoved them into Cloudflare TXT records, and wrote a PowerShell script that reassembles and runs the whole goddamn game from DNS queries alone. Nothing touches disk. The DLLs are in DNS. THE FUCKING DLLS ARE IN DNS.

RFC 1035 was written in 1987. Those engineers are spinning in their graves fast enough to generate municipal power.

Bonus: this is a fully functional globally-distributed covert data exfil channel that your NGFW will never fucking see if you're not doing deep DNS inspection. Sleep well.

Also lmao @ every blue team that has never once looked at their DNS query volume. How's that DLP policy working out for you.

It was always DNS.

The role of crossing guard was once seen as an idyllic job meant for local retirees. Today, most crossing guards are poorly paid contract workers employed by private companies, and their job is more dangerous than ever, writes Angela Misri. https://thelocal.to/crossing-guards-precarity-privatization-violence-toronto/
The New Reality for Toronto's Crossing Guards | The Local

Once a job for local retirees backed by the police, today's crossing guards are poorly paid contract workers employed by private companies. As they confront growing road rage and speeding drivers, their work is more dangerous than ever.

I honestly don’t know which makes me laugh the hardest. The fact of what the lyrics actually are or the hysterical laughter of one of the men discussing this. This is my favorite video of the year so far.🩵🦁🦁🦁🩵

I am in this meme and do not like it.

At the same time as people are being nervous that selectable disclosure and government digital identities will erode anonymous use of the internet, we are swamped by AI agents pretending to be humans….
