Also, Canada's ISED is now the coolest radio regulatory body in the world, at least in my book.

@stu Eh. Beats not even trying!

Technically it’s not a failed activation if you don’t make any contacts at all.

I failed to activate a POTA last time I was in Boston so I’m headed back to try again except this time I’m bringing a more compromised antenna and less power. I’ll be on CW & maybe FT8 off and on until Sunday!

5 years ago today I passed my technician license exam kicking off the nerdiest period of my life! And I've always been a massive nerd.

Very good points, a reply to a CEO who wondered why his engineers were resistant to using LLMs for coding:

Screenshot from twitter: 
@robleathern
Senior engineers are typically early adopters of genuinely useful
technology - they're usually the first to embrace new tools, frameworks,
and approaches that make their work more effective. If your most
experienced engineers are resistant to Al while leadership is
enthusiastic, that suggests a few possibilities:
1. The Al tools being pushed might not actually solve real problems the
engineers face
2. There could be legitimate concerns about code quality, security, or
technical debt that Al introduces
3. The engineers might be seeing downsides (like Al-generated code that
looks good initially but creates maintenance headaches) that aren't
immediately visible to non-technical stakeholders
Senior engineers’ reluctance toward Al adoption would make me want to
dig deeper into their specific concerns.

Attention QUANIN, MAGAT FASCISTS: Every time you sing "We're Not Gonna Take It" remember it was written by a cross-dressing libtard, tree hugging half-jew who HATES everything you stand for. It was you and people like you that inspired every angry word of that song. SO FUCK OFF!"

Why are we getting so many movies and TV shows set in the Star Wars universe, but none in the Indiana Jones universe? Where's the TV show showing the rise of Belloq as an antihero? What about a Cheers-like show set in Marion's bar in the Himalayas?

Monday morning with The Butthole Surfers. The BS Boys were in my mind after a Sat night conversation about this record being recorded up the road Farmers Branch, TX. I had no idea, my mind was blown. It’s a fun weird record.

We’re honestly on a fast timeline to exactly this.

A cartoon by Cori6 compares two scenarios. The top panel, labeled "PROJECT 1938," shows a group of people, including adults and children, disembarking from a train with a ramp, reminiscent of historical deportations. The bottom panel, labeled "PROJECT 2025," depicts a similar group of people disembarking from an airplane using a mobile staircase, suggesting a modern deportation scenario. The cartoon is signed "Cori6" in the bottom right corner.

Be like Dolly.

A post from M.S. (@MalaakSafa
) on X reads: "Dolly Parton didn’t spend her dollars on space travel or a trip to the titanic because she was writing checks to put 150 million books in the hands of children." Below the text, there is an image of Dolly Parton in a white dress, sitting on a chair and reading to a group of children seated on the floor in a large, ornate room with a crowd of adults standing in the background, some taking photos.

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read.

He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords

Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:
