Trump eats a 12 for inciting a terrorist plot that attacks the US government, while I’m still perma’d from Twitter for being a bit mean to the revenge porn rear end in a top hat. Its almost like there’s different rules for him and us.

I copped a 12 hour for telling Convicted Racist Andrew Bolt to eat poo poo and die, and was told that it would be lifted when I deleted it. I thought to myself "oh well, I had a good run, I'm not deleting it though". Then a human reviewed the case and went "no actually, telling Convicted Racist Andrew Bolt to eat poo poo and die is proper discourse, ban lifted".

Rudy continues to not let us down, by the way.

Your life and your quest end here.



The song "A Little Respect" by Erasure begins "I try to discover a little something to make me sweeter". The first part of that sounds a bit like "I try to diss covers", "diss" being short for "disrespect". The band Wheatus have recorded a cover version of that song. The joke is that the members of Erasure admit to liking the cover version, despite "trying to diss covers".

Seeing unlocked machines, because yes people running away from their offices aren't going to think to lock em, means you have to presume everything is compromised. 99% of the people in the building are just your regular dumbasses, but all it takes is one person who just needs physical access to an unlocked machine. There's an arduous task ahead, and boy do they need to work on their data security going forward.

I always heard fairly favorable things about CBS, so good job to them for taking this lovely approach and ruining that reputation. I was glad to hear the word ‘terrorists’ in the senate last night, it needs to be called what it was - gently caress offending your audience.

Sometimes you look at pictures of previous decades and the people have what now would be considered ridiculous clothing, hairstyles, and accessories. Then the people who lived through that period say, "everyone dressed like that and we didn't think anything of it because it was normal at the time."

I had always wondered which parts of our current zeitgeist would become retroactively embarrassing, but I'm pretty positive this goofy dog lingo is one of them.

I've worked at one bank and one financial services company and stepping away from your desk without hitting Win-L to lock your computer was a first-and-final warning offence at both. Expecting as little as that level of discipline from your elected representatives and their staff doesn't seem onerous. We trained 19-year-old call centre staff to do it, and they managed it fine.

Training a 19 year old is easy. Training a self important boomer who can get you fired is next to impossible.

You are supposed to change your colleagues backgrounds and move icons around anytime they leave their computer unlocked and unattended. For real IT security you just need an office of workers just out of college you see.
