8 years ago: the pumpkin monster in chief 🎃 was already deranged, but not as much as now, and #WednesdayAddams was not on Netflix yet, but already a role model.

A merry and spooky #Halloween everyone! 🖤

Any of you among the "undisclosed recipients" of this double #XSS attempt just landed in my inbox (thanks @thunderbird.net for being impervious to these sheenigans)?

Nice TLD, btw...

Just in Palermo we were more than 30,000, marching in the streets and chanting #StopGenocide #FreeFreePalestine. 🇵🇸✊

The main villain in the #DevilMayCry animated series is the christian nationalist genocidal vice to a pathetic poor excuse for a POTUS.
Despite the apparent similarities, not nearly as cartoonish as their real-world counterparts.

In Mickey 17 Mark Ruffalo delivers some great and disturbing impressions: the christian nationalist politician, the real estate genocidal grifter, the tele-evangelist conman, the Pinochet-style egomaniac dictator, all packaged in one disgusting & ridiculous character.
Definitely not sci-fi anymore.

Celebrating #transdayofvisibility with my #Secular #Humanist comrades.

Solidarity to all the transgender folks under heavy attack all over the world.

Let's fight back together against #fascism, religious fundamentalism, bigotry and ignorance, to defend everyone's #humanrights.

My 10th #DarwinDay poster, and the 1st I've designed as an "ordinary" volunteer, now that Maria Angela Fatta, a strong atheist feminist and co-founder of Non Una Di Meno Palermo, has finally accepted the mantle as the new chair of our Union of Rationalist Atheists and Agnostics chapter in Palermo ❤️
A poster showing Charles Darwin's silhouette coloured like the inclusive rainbow/trans/intersex flag facing Donald Trump's silhouette overlaid with a nazi flag and X logo. The writing says: Darwin Day 2025 Gen(d)erato, non creato Identità di genere, sesso biologico e attrazione: scienza, propaganda, confusione e repressione. Celebriamo come ogni anno il compleanno di Charles Darwin ed il pensiero critico e scientifico, in un momento di grave pericolo esistenziale per la scienza, la libertà e i diritti umani, cercando di capire, organizzare, resistere. Intervengono: Prof. Giuseppe Burgio - pedagogista Dott. Lidia Oteri - medica e attivista queer Celeste Siciliano - Non una di meno Palermo Daniela Tomasino - Arcigay, Palermo Pride modera Maria Angela Fatta - Uaar 🎉🎈Darwin Day Kids: per le famiglie che volessero partecipare con prole al seguito, contemporaneamente e nello stesso luogo che ospita la conferenza, il Parco Villa Filippina, c'è il Carnevale in Villa!

Those nice emails that make your #XSS day.

Wondering how webmail clients fare against this, but I use thunderbird.net and noscript.net, so…

For the curious, the Base64 id is just another way to inject web.archive.org/web/20250110... (including those funny © notices) into "less modern" browsers.

I've just subscribed to MDN Plus, perhaps the most valuable resource for #WebDev, browser extensions & #developers in general, which I've used for free so many years. Stepped up to paid subscription as a small thanks to Mozilla, and also for the offline premium feature.

These comments under NoScript's Chrome Web Store entry just made my day ❤️
However: I'm pretty positive NoScript isn't going away from there (MV3 transition is underway), BUT switching to a non-Chromium browser is a smart and sensible move anyway, for your own good and for the Web's sake 🦊🧅
Screenshots from the Chrome Web Store with latest 3 comments/ratings for NoScript: My Fortnite Oct 6, 2024 "NoScript is the smartest add-on any end user can have. It takes control over your browser back for you from advertisers and and anyone else. Stopping them from showing you things you don't want to see. Say goodbye to everything you've been forced to look at when surfing the net. NoScript puts you are in control of what you see, hear, and allow into your computer. And NoScript developed by Giorgio Maone. is the original script blocker all others are based on."
