Why, I remember when this was all just Arpanet. I'm over educated, opinionated, and quite possibly wrong about everything. Published author, banned comics publisher, ethicist, cranky old philosopher careered in information architecture.

AKA: I contain multitudes.

Black lives matter. Trans lives matter. Your life matters.

End Colonialism. Free Palestine. Eat the Rich.

Oh hey, be on the lookout for venture capitalists and day traders standing on ledges above you. Velocity is a real bitch.

#AI and tech stocks got spanked hard today, and because they are so overweight in the index, it drags the index with them.

The #VIX is high, which suggests the market will continue to be choppy, and lots and lots of people are looking at red numbers. Most of them, like #Palantir and #OpenAI et al are overleveraged to their eyeballs, and venture capital is holding a lot of bag, so I bet the smell of fear is real in some boardrooms right about now.

I can't hold a brush, but it's been like two weeks since i've art-ed. That's too long to go without making a mess!

So...I have gathered; squeeze bottles, mardi gras beads, a shower squeegee, a pseudo-ocean-sponge thingy stuck to a chopstick, some powdered fd&c dyes, and hope.

Wish me luck y'all! I'm going in!

The President of the United States of America is a known rapist and child molester, and the #NYT would rather fire columnists than admit the truth.

Then again, the NYT has a long, storied history of cozying up to Nazis.

The oligarchs get very testy when you draw back the curtain on the wizards pulling the levers.

Within the last hour, after reports that Bibi called Trump, the #USA struck #Qeshm Island, #Iran (Monday, November 2), with five to six explosions in rapid succession. The island hosts an underground missile site, an #IRGC naval base, and a major desalination plant.

The Wall Street Journal reported it was the latest in a series of limited strikes carried out secretly over recent weeks, deliberately kept out of public view to avoid signaling a return to major combat operations.

So, #voting is about to start, and it looks like #Trump is afraid there might be politicians willing to stop him, so he’s going full Dr Strangelove if he’s not restrained.

The sound you are currently experiencing is the sound of a million script kiddies humming “time to do some sketchy shit, doo dah doodah, hope I get away with it, oh doodah day”

So, today’s entry in how #ai is destroying the internet, I give you a bug that affects most servers on earth, so that’s fun! It doesn’t affect home and small office users, or any other users who boot their devices solely from disk drives.

The vulnerability, tracked as #CVE-2026-97631, is a Sev 9.5 memory-corruption flaw in an #ICMP component that attackers can exploit to execute malicious code that runs before the operating system and firmware can implement defenses.

Discovered by teams at #anthropic and #google, it was surfaced by #AMI publishing a pull request with a fix for some of their hardware. Because the bug had been “embargoed “ until January while manufacturers worked on fixes, this is an unpatched bug in many cases, that has just been announced publicly.

I mean, other than medicine, algebra, mathematics as theory, some of the greatest stories known to man, the concept of fiduciary responsibility, long distance banking, trade networks, diplomacy, and going further back…wheat, sure Arabs haven’t contributed to western culture.

#RFK is a white nationalist with a worm brain and he needs to be removed from office and polite society. Al Jazeera lists just a few Arab contributions, including recent Nobel Prize winners.

Racists have no place in our society. RFK has no place in our society.

All eyes on #Israel. Bibi has promised if he wins, #America goes to war with #Iran with boots on the ground. #Netanyahu faces a criminal trial if he loses, much like #trump he needs to stay in power until he dies, lest he face consequences. Israel is having record turnout.

Israeli party leaders have said they will not work with any elected Arabs or anyone elected by #Palestinian Israeli citizens. No politician has campaigned on stopping the #settlements or the daily bombardment landing on #Gaza.

Oh man, light a candle for #infosec, #sysop, and #ops, cause if you thought the #php #cve was fun, wait till you hear about CVE-2026-111497, AKA as Node2Shell, HTTP2Shell, and Broccoli2Shell, a high-severity out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Brotli decoder that can permit remote code execution (#RCE). The bug allows data to overwrite memory buffers when a process decompresses untrusted Brotli streams. It was surfaced by #OpenAI’s red team.

Fixed versions were released this weekend, but systems using system-linked Brotli libraries (e.g., Debian, Alpine) must verify their distribution-specific package updates, as the Node.js binary release does not patch those external dependencies.

While researchers from Imperva demonstrated successful code execution on a specific Node.js 24.22.0 Linux arm64 build, no widespread exploitation in the wild has been reported as of October 25, 2026..
