It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

This is 404 Media's @jasonkoebler.bsky.social waving at himself through a Flock camera; one of 60 we learned was left exposed to the open internet. Not only could anyone with a link livestream it, but some admin portals were open with no login credentials required.

I am not the only person who has worked in tech to see their former bosses' psychopathy in Stockton Rush.
There are so many men in charge who are gleefully ready to kill others for their ego.

Every time DOGE pays a federal employee their full salary while on administrative leave, or every time Pete Hegseth dumps a fighter jet worth $60 million into the Red Sea, I would just like to remind folks that a former GSA employee went to prison for planning a conference that was too expensive.
GSA employee gets prison time after lavish conference
The central figure in GSA spending scandal in Las Vegas has been sentenced to prison. Jeff Neely was sentenced on Tuesday to three months in prison and three months of home confinement.

I used to have nightmares about getting a pet and forgetting to feed it.
I have not had a single one of those dreams since getting Heater because there is not a chance in Hell she will let me forget breakfast.
