RE: https://tldr.nettime.org/@remixtures/117057007569945254 I can't decide if this is parody or a very remarkable set of coincidences.

RE: https://mastodon.online/@mastodonmigration/117004246546493753 I can't remember the last time I was this inspired by an American politician, and I am lucky to vote in Michigan to be able to support him. If he is bullshitting me, I would genuinely be surprised.

RE: https://techpolicy.social/@joebeone/116926768886588948 I rarely see a good take on the "vulnpocalypse", let alone from someone inside of the AI industry itself (Joshua Saxe excepted), but this one is valid and likely the best take I have seen in awhile. I highly suggest you give it a read. #InfoSec #Vulnpocalypse

I live about 400 meters from BC Place where we will be hosting 7 games of the upcoming FIFA World Cup tournament. The inconveniences are beginning to pile up, but I have to say it is always a delight to see the RCMP mounted patrols patrolling the streets in my neighbourhood.

My patio honeysuckle was in full bloom this weekend. I expected them to be fragrant, but they aren&#39;t for me, they&#39;re for the bees and other buzzy critters.

RE: https://techhub.social/@Techmeme/116518793202246155 This is how you do it. ID requirements put the burden on me and force me to submit to data breaches of sensitive information. Force the social media companies to make their product safe for everyone, not ban children.
