The image shows a skeletal figure, resembling the Grim Reaper, sitting at a cluttered desk with a computer, surrounded by stacks of papers and books. The figure is wearing a dark hooded cloak and appears to be working or typing on the computer. The background includes shelves filled with books and other items. The scene is dark and somewhat eerie, with a blue-green color palette.

Below the image, there is text that reads:

"For the last time:
Abyss = for staring into
Void = for screaming into

Please stop screaming into the abyss we are not insured for that."

@xek dude has problems but saved everybody that one time

Alright.

They got the House. And the Senate. And the Presidency. And the Supreme Court.

There are many many many countries where people are hounded by their government and many more where they cannot rely on their government to take care of them.

You cannot take care of yourself alone in this environment.

You cannot remain silo'd and isolated.

You have to join community.

@dangrsmind 1984 taught us that words are more than just letters in an arrangement. They allow higher order thinking. If someone doesn’t have the vocabulary to understand fascism, they don’t understand it

@cheetah_spottycat the fact that I can’t hire someone with a felony conviction blows my mind now. They can’t do cyber security but they can run the country……?

If you need a break from reality, do yourself a favor and binge #TheOrville. I always thought it was just a joke of a show but it is actually really great, heartfelt sci-fi.

@SecurityWriter “we will save so much money in the cloud!”

@luckytran this would be required reading in a civilized society

Today would have been Carl Sagan's 90th birthday. He wrote this in 1995. Carl was absolutely right. #CarlSaganDay

I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time - when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness. The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30-second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance.

@dan isn’t incel twitter just twitter?

@SecurityWriter I’m pretty excited to see a ticket with some fight in them. They are going at their opposition finally

In case anyone wondered how bad #broadcom would make #vmware support: a technician just told me to add users as global read write users as a solution for a data store permission issue IN A PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT. 😭

@arstechnica the only market sector getting cheaper! 😎

@NPR this is a national security threat. When people in privileged positions are easily leveraged, bad things happen….

Just finished filing taxes. TurboTax asked how likely I was to recommend them to a friend. My response was:

"Come on now, nobody recommends tax software to their friends. This is a service that should be provided free by the government. Since it isn't and we have to pay one way or another, sure, I used your service but I am not going to champion it"

@jeffowski this episode was them basically going “okay, you’re missing the allegory, just DONT BE A RACIST!” 🥰

DS9 scene. We're in the Sisko's ready room. The back wall is a window to dark space spotted with distant stars. We see the Sisko standing and looking back at Major Kira. Screenshot pov is looking over her shoulder. Closed caption reads, "The trouble is Earth."

@neurovagrant @briankrebs a little late now but this is why I like the service called Privacy. I use it to give@every vendor a different card so I can just cancel shady dealers

Bill that could ban TikTok passes in House despite constitutional concerns

US much closer to banning TikTok, despite users' protests.
