I seemed to have dodged the bullet - my work stuff seems to be unaffected. From what I am hearing some of our systems are impacted and they already sent out the "no need to contact the help desk" email.

I am pouring one out, virtually, for all the people who don't know what "safe mode" is.

My friend in InfoSec: "Half of these people can barely pay their bills online."

Gonna be a long day for the IT Support folks - good luck out there.

Yes - and i think that's an excellent ratings system. Albums should sound the way your favorite foods taste. Good on ya.

🎧 The Joy Hotel, "Ceremony". When I heard their first single "Jeremiah" back in April, I immediately marked today on my calendar as "BUSY" because it was the album drop day. I can't say enough about how good these songs are and how hearing this band is a musically religious experience. The album is aptly named. A heady mix of americana and soul, with generous dashes of what Gram Parsons called "cosmic music". Needless to say, I HIGHLY rec this album.

Tuesday 850pm: road rage incident. Guy waves a gun at driver who cut him off. Other driver shoots first guy at point blank in the head.
Thursday 1100am: local anti-violence activist, having just posted on social about that incident and imploring people to calm their road rage, is shot to death at a gas station.

Indiana. Open carry. No license. Great idea.

I was one of the very lucky people to see their famous Exxon Protest gig on 6th ave in NYC only because I happened to be on a smoke break from work, and then saw them that night at Radio City Music Hall (the Blue Sky Mining tour). They were in top form. Love that band. Earth and Sun and Moon is my favorite album of theirs.

@JohnRadcliff
Thank you very much, John!

Thank you very much! It was a great day!

Bless my amazing family and how they indulge an old man’s whims. Birthday dinner: matzoh ball soup and reubens (all home made), b&w cookies, and the birthday gift haul. I love my people!

@JohnRadcliff
if only my endeavors were that noble...

Sometimes it's the stupidest shit that makes me giddy. I discovered this morning, by accident, that I can create soundboards in Freeform.

9 out of 10 stats geeks agree..

@ArcturusSaDiablo
I recently took my own poll. I asked friends/acquaintances "have you been polled about the election?" and it was 100% result for "NO". That was about 30 people, in ten different states. I think polls are fake, at best they are extrapolating the data from leading questions. It's crap statistics.

@Pat_Walrond copy and paste this to your fb wall: i do not give meta permission to scan my brain or to use images of my brain or brain activity in any marketing or promotional materials or to sell to advertisers.

🎧 Dusty Springfield, "The Very Best of..." The 20 songs on this 1998 collection comprise pretty much the cream of Dusty's 60's hits (with the odd omission of "Windmills of Your Mind"). I re-arranged the running order so that it would be chronological instead of the seemingly random program as released. Dusty was one of a kind, she picked the right songs, and arranged the shit out of the vocals.

@MrsSpear
That is greatly appreciated - thank you!

Contemplating my last day as a 57yo. I don't have a #hashtag for this.

@voltronic
Yeah that is a KILLER set. I think Mohini Dey is my spirit bassist.
