I lost a friend over my article about the murder of Renee Nicole Good.
He was angry I called out the underlying misogyny.
He was mad I didn’t give ICE the benefit of the doubt.
He made it personal.
He told me my “stupid clown hair” is why people don’t take me seriously
Everything he said to me was dripping with disdain and misogyny.
There was no debate.
There was no respectful disagreement.
In under five minutes he had attacked my intelligence, my politics, my appearance and my writing.
This is not normal behaviour.
He literally proved my point.
Had I taken the bait I’m convinced that I would have been called a “f*cking b*tch” by the end of the conversation.
This is what MAGA is doing to men.
It’s emboldening them.
It’s validating their bigotry.
I assume this person was always hateful and misogynistic on some level … but now he no longer feels he has to hide it.
He literally said as much.
He said “I never told you in the past because I wasn’t allowed. Now I am.”
Why is he allowed to tell me now??
Why does he feel justified in lashing out with rage and insults over something that has nothing to do with him?
It’s because of what happened to Renee Nicole Good.

This regime wants to make us “less than”.
They want us afraid.
They want us in the home serving our husbands and having children.
They want us seen and not heard.
They don’t want us resisting.
Which is why we must keep speaking out.
We must refuse to go back.
My life is better off without this person in it, and thankfully I can walk away.

The measles outbreak in South Carolina is the largest in the country and has spread to three other states.
It’s growing at an alarming speed.
Over 500 people in quarantine and 200 are actively infected.
This was completely preventable.
These people didn’t need to get sick.
Measles can kill. It can disable. It can leave you deaf and blind.
It’s a vaccine preventable illness.
Shame on everyone creating distrust in the vaccine and refusing to do their part for public health.

Started watching BSG again today as I wanted to see if it looked as awesome on a 77" OLED TV as i thought it would (it does) and, oddly, it has over the years become something of a comfort show.
It continues to impress me how well Ronald Moore and Co. dealt with issues touched upon 20 full years ago that continue to be relevant today.

I finally got around to upgrading the storage of my Ableton Move from 64GB to 512GB (requires a Linux machine to resize the file system and partition on the new MicroSD card once the image has been copied over). Anyway, success.
Storage: 26.4 GB / 493.1 GB
However, when I went to test it before putting the back panel back on, I panicked for a second, because it wouldn't turn on.
Well, guess what?
I forgot to put the Raspberry Pi CM4 back on the carrier board.

curl, which is one of the most popular CLI/API tools for network requests and data transfer on Linux/Unix, is to discontinue its HackerOne bug bounty program due to "too strong incentives to find and make up 'problems' in bad faith that cause overload and abuse".
The authors simply cannot keep up with LLM-generated fake security reports created to collect money using bots. So, it now shuts down at the end of January 2026. This is why we can't have good things

Some good news in a time of darkness: the European wildcat, Felis sylvestris, is making a comeback! This thoughtful-looking example was photographed in a mountainous region of the Czech republic.
The European wildcat's extreme elusiveness may have helped it avoid hunters in places where a larger native cat, the lynx, has been killed off. There may be about 140,000 European wildcats spread across more than two dozen countries. But they are very hard to find!
Wildlife photographer Andrea Giovanni, who made a video of one, writes:
"I'd never even thought of taking photos of wildcats, for a simple reason: I thought it was impossible, or at least, extremely difficult. It's considered 'the ghost of the forests' because it's very, very elusive, and it's hard to predict where it can be spotted. Other animals tend to follow the same trails through the forest. The wildcat goes wherever she wants to."
One reason the European wildcat is coming back is increased legal protections. But another is that villages in Italy and other regions are becoming depopulated! Some are very worried about declining human populations. But it does make room for other species. That gives me some hope for the future.
I got this picture, taken by Vladimír Čech Jr in the Doupov mountains, from a very nice article on the European wildcat:
