As my friend just said, “Getting the university to understand the threats not from russian cyberterrorists but rather federal investigations using subpoenas has been my main frustration.”

Its trans awareness week. Please show you are aware of me here.
okay I did the thing. Raising Down Payment Money for a car so I can do more work when my one job stops paying and hopefully stop having to ask for money because I'll be able to work enough jobs to make ends meet.
Takes 2-3 now apparently.
Please share widely and help if you can.

Bleak assessment by Leslye. In short: reaction/analysis content creators can shape or even eclipse how a project's received, and studios give that ecosystem unjust weight.
She's too kind here to this lucrative form of cultural vivisection, but recognizing it is a first step to fighting it.

8675309 is prime, and so is 8675311, so if you ever need a middlin'-large pair of adjacent primes to test your cryptographic suite, all you need is a 1980s earworm and a +2 and you're all set.
Man, everything is so bleak, anyone got a fun fact or little bit of trivia they want to share

You see when an observant person makes a keen observation, and nobody in power listens to them, it then appears that when things continue along the observed trend as though the observation were being followed like a blueprint instead of a warning.

Well that's an autistic anthem if ever I heard one
Picture a place somewhere else far away
Where you know what they mean
And they mean what they say to us
And would that be enough?

It was Miami Herald local reporter Julie Brown @jkbjournalist.bsky.social who actually covered the Epstein story and blew it wide open. She cared about the victims and Epstein's crimes, not access.
National outlets not only didn't, they refused to. They thought it was tawdry and beneath them.

And it isn't just in politics either. Commercial corporations being boycotted, movie studio executives experiencing over-the-top backlash for "woke" storylines, anyone who's ever been in the crosshairs of LibsOfTikTok...heck, public institutions like schools, colleges, and libraries anticipate it.
If you're ever wondering why every party seems to bend over backwards to appease the right you could do worse than this observation.
Marjorie Taylor Greene has been disliked by the left for years and years and had never had to fear for her life. She's been disliked by the right for 1 day and now has to hire security.
