@heidilifeldman Thank you for doing this. I just donated to them via my donor advised fund. For others who have DAFs who want to donate that way, their TIN is 41-1635761; having that makes it easier to ensure it goes to the right organization.

Just to be clear: should I have the terrible misfortune to be killed in a mass shooting, please feel free to politicize the hell out of it. And go ahead and do so immediately. No time will be “too soon”.

@cstross This shows the limitations of a 2d model here, with no option for "punch both the Nazi and the annoying guy the the lower right quadrant".

King of UK, to his own brother: "That does it, you're not a prince any more. Out you go."

US, now that Trump is clearly implicated: "Technically it's not really pedophilia if the girl is 14."

The freaking *British royal family* is doing a better job cleaning house than we are.

Just got another "why are you posting photos when <bad thing> is happening".

While posting photos may not be the most socially productive activity, it beats scolding strangers on the Internet by miles.

@cynicalsecurity I could believe this.

Thief: "We need you to take down US-EAST-1".

Insider: "OK, but it will cost you."

Thief: "Name your price."

Insider: "I need the crown jewels of France."

OK, now if the Louvre heist had involved exploiting a flaw in a burglar alarm that depends on AWS, I could get behind that. But they were a day early.

How 2025 is going.

I'm a bit disappointed that the jewel heist at the Louvre just involved a truck and some mopeds. It should require at least a helicopter, secret tunnels, and lasers.

Do any of us know what we’re made of, who we are at our core?

I submit that until you’ve stared down 12 inches of slightly soggy bread, with assorted cheeses and luncheon meats being hurled at you at several miles per hour while wearing body armor and protective gear, you can never truly know.
