Uhhh Ohhh 😲

You might recall that Tuesday, I posted a photo of a sparrow who was staring me down. It looks like it's had enough😂. Is it just me or does this chipping sparrow look kind of tough.

@shuttersparks When I first learned about fingerprinting (using the web canvas method) several years ago I wrote a bit of javascript to try it out - it was so very easy.

@Npars01 @Creditease @DeanObeidallah These Christian denominations preach Prosperity Gospel and Muscular Christianity. I included the Cook Partisan Voting Index for the City and State.

@Creditease @DeanObeidallah

The Christian heresy called the "prosperity gospels" are very attractive to Republicans.

“When people post about their pregnancies to BabyCenter, I think it’s safe to assume they are doing so without the expectation that ICE is watching."

I get snarky about ShadowDragon and ICE tracking your pregnancy info.

​ Paying a few dollars a month to use Twitter, which is run by a billionaire.

Periodic reminder to check the "About" section on your Mastodon server to see if they have donation links. :)

It just amazes me that people keep expecting me to fly all over the place for conferences and seminar lectures. I've gotten uninvited to 2 conferences in the last couple weeks by politely asking if I could give the invited talk remotely instead. This is dumb, we need to change.

Newly leaked images, show the Russian navy Kilo class submarine Rostov-on-Don, which Ukraine has bombed to smithereens in their September 13 attack on the dry docks of Sevastopol.

Call the scrapyard, Vladimir, and good luck explaining this incident on Russian state tv.

That tank can MOVE!

Former head of trust and safety at #Twitter: Trump Attacked Me. Then Musk Did. It Wasn’t an Accident. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/18/opinion/trump-elon-musk-twitter.html

Ask your Fox-watching friends if they’ve seen stories about Rep. Lauren Boebert publicly groping with her date and vaping at a public performance of Beetlejuice, all with kids present. Bet they’ll look at you blankly because Fox has simply not aired the story since it broke according to media watchers.
Fox knows Boebert is in a district she nearly lost in 2022, and that the road to the House majority might run through Colorado’s 3rd. The network isn’t “fair and balanced.” That’s a joke. Fox is warped and twisted, just like the party it services.
Pro-tip: change the content controls on home cable systems so technologically challenged folks can’t access Fox. You might just save them from being sucked in further.

RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE

Trump is but one spoke in Putin's wheel of influence.

On August 15, Great Britain arrested 3 Russian deep-cover spies who lived and in London suburbs for a decade. The espionage scandal brought back into the spotlight the hybrid warfare the Kremlin leads against other countries.
From spies and hacks to coups and hit jobs, its arsenal has been wide and sinister, making Putin’s regime a real threat not only to its neighbors but to all the world.
