You spill someone’s drink, you buy them another.

You break a window, you pay for it.

Let’s make that true for oil and gas corporations.

Tonight I've (among other things) been rehearsing Mary on a Cross by Ghost in a woodwind quintet consisting of a recorder, two flutes, clarinet and bassoon. The arrangement is very well done, so it works!

I'm very much looking forward to our concert on Sunday. It should be a highlight of the year. (Besides playing in this quintet, I'll also be leading a big band.)

AI vulnerability/bug founds and reports is a huge problem. Curl has banned the use of AI-generated submissions via HackerOne because none of it made any sense, and is a waste of resources and time.

curl disclosed on HackerOne: HTTP/3 Stream Dependency Cycle Exploit

**Penetration Testing Report: HTTP/3 Stream Dependency Cycle Exploit** --- # **0x00 Overview** A novel exploit leveraging stream dependency cycles in the HTTP/3 protocol stack was discovered, resulting in memory corruption and potential denial-of-service or remote code execution scenarios when used against HTTP/3-capable clients such as `curl` (tested on version 8.13.0).

From tech empires to fossil fuel giants—billionaires are using their wealth to drown out the voices of the people.

They want to control what we see, how we live, and who gets to have a say.

This isn’t freedom.

This is a takeover.

We won’t stand by as they destroy our planet.👇🏽

Think corporate elites should not control our rights and freedom? Sign - Greenpeace International

They weaken protections for people and the planet, bankroll politicians who serve their interests, control media narratives, and use corporate intimidation to shut down free speech. It’s time to fight back!

I attempt to play a full 32-man band. The result is far from perfect, but I like it and I hope that you will too!

I shouldn't hype it up too much so that you'll be disappointed when I release it, but I've been editing my next music video and at the moment I'm really happy with how it's turning out. I think I've managed to give the 12 minutes enough visual interest to not be boring to look at, and the music isn't bad if I may say so myself...

Corporations are STILL sabotaging real climate action.

With glossy ads and shiny pledges, they push false solutions like Carbon Capture & Storage, so called "Sustainable Aviation Fuels", and monoculture tree plantations—while emissions keep rising.

We need real cuts, not PR tricks.

This story is *wild*

Michael Waltz, Trump's national security advisor, was using Signal to chat with high-up Trump officials like defense secretary Pete Hegseth, Marco Rubio, Stephen Mille, a CIA operative, and JD Vance ...

... to co-ordinate the Mar 15 bombing of Houthi targets

Waltz added -- apparently by mistake -- Jeffrey Goldberg, editor of The Atlantic, to the group

a wild, clownishly self-own of a leak
