The office of Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon has traced the recent spread of misinformation about the state's presidential ballot to a snarky AI chatbot named Grok, which is available to premium users of the social media platform X. startribune.com/xs-ai-chatbot-

Good website to quickly verify voter registration status....not that there'd ever be an effort to suspend registrations ahead of the upcoming election...

Lovely, the USPS website is down. Trying to get information about a package that's supposed to be delivered today. *sigh*

I just realized Jaydles is the reason our grandparents wrapped all their furniture in plastic.

So, how do I moderate my own feed?

Mute - It's not you, it's me.

Block - It's you.

Report and Block - No, really, it is about you and I have some very serious concerns about your legitimacy.

I find my life is much more manageable this way.

Am I permitted to join the resistance if I'm a childless cat gentleman?

I'm surprised I saw my first CyberDumpster before my first "Sovereign Citizen", but today was my day for that. Fortunately, the driver was nowhere near to be found. And I was able to control my desire to F-around with them.

Server room is back online after weekend electrical work. A few things needed massaging but all according to my ample documentation. It's never that things won't go wrong. It's being prepared when they do that makes the admin look good. Felt almost no stress or pressure. It's a good feeling.

Biden is nearly 83 years old.
We're gonna be lucky to live that long ourselves. He's given of himself for this country for a LONG time. He's fulfilled the role of POTUS against a non-stop onslaught of hostility while giving his all to be a good steward of our republic. He's EARNED his retirement.

Now we need to come together to defeat not just TFG, but the entirety of the fascist GOP leadership. Burn them down to ash and make them start over.

I love when I talk to my parents, life-long Republicans, and they acknowledge they have to vote against TFG and his cronies because of how awful they are. Given their age, I'll take that as a win.


How tariffs work:

Dumbass enacts tariff because he's a dumbass.

Suppliers add full amount of tariff PLUS extra because fuck that guy.

US companies are paying tariff PLUS extra because that guy is a fucking idiot.

Consumers pay tariff PLUS extra PLUS bonus extra because that fucking guy doesn't know how the fuck tariffs work.

And fucking stupid people applaud fucking stupid guy because they think he's hurting the other guys.

FUCK ALL THIS STUPID.


Well, at least I should not have a work interruption.
Ah, the perils of being an IT professional.
At least I can enjoy leisure activities, like having video games shock me with gratuitous cut scenes.

It's not even 9am and I'm ready to devour my lunch. This is going to be a long day.

Mild work chaos. Not how I want to spend my time. I have other things I could be doing. But instead I'm running down HVAC problems and scheduling for a weekend power outage. 20+ years of IT, and I'm still just the f-ing janitor. I'm going to change my code name to "Ahti".

I am convinced that the worst thing to ever happen to the IT industry was to treat marketing people as IT experts.

Security+CE Certmaster is making my brain melt with their marketing based mumbo jumbo to describe security concepts. Every single thing they say is an industry standard makes my brain itch about how poor it really is for security.

I take this as training for how NOT to do IT security, then lock my stuff down.

I don't trust polls, period.
I vote because it's my duty, and I do it not for myself but for the people who benefit from a functioning government.

So, and this is just a wild theory, is it possible all these polls showing "Biden is losing" is just a ploy to motivate the base to encourage others to vote blue?
