Two infrared photos of forest scenes, each with a person in an Ewok or Wookiee costume. The caption reads "Me and my son have been sneaking out at night in our Ewok and Chewbacca costumes just to mess with our neighbour's trail cams"

I found evidence on my condo walkway that we've been visited by feral drag queens during the night. They didn't show up on the cameras, though.

NEW #PRIVACY ISSUE WITH #facebook As of tomorrow, Facebook will creep into your bathroom when you're in the shower, smack your bottom, and then steal your clothes and towel. To change this option, go to Privacy Settings > Personal Settings > Bathroom Settings > Smacking and Stealing Settings, and uncheck the Shenanigans box. Facebook kept this one quiet.

#RSS is a pretty neat way to stay up to date on your favorite news(-letters), social media accounts*, podcast and blogs.

This piece by @pluralistic really drives this point home: pluralistic.net/2024/10/16/kee…

*e.g. #bluesky and #mastodon

A screenshot of the linked article with a quote by Cory Doctorow: This conduit is anti-lock-in, it works for nearly the whole internet. It is surveillance-resistant, far more accessible than the web or any mobile app interface. It is my secret super-power. It's RSS.

How will students find and distinguish functional journalism that is news oriented in the era of SEO manipulation, clickbait and straight up news-masquerading Slop is something all school need to be addressing in their curriculum.

Neither UNIFIL nor U.N. Headquarters in New York have publicly reiterated that the peacekeepers can shoot back at the Israelis if they are attacked.


This is a nothinburger. Of course they can, in theory. But they won't, and they're not even hinting they might. It's just an article of wishful thinking and what legally is written in their charter. But reality is a different deal.
