Probably a Groyper. They enjoy fucking with us older folks. Start watching for signs that they have ASPD.

Smoky Moroccan Chickpea Soup (formerly Stew) a la Mishka Makes Food

Smoky Moroccan Chickpea Soup (formerly Stew) a la Mishka Makes Food

The results from last night -- very tasty, but the other brand (Nature's Soy) was spicier and had a delightful málà taste to it.

From last night. I was dysregulating last night something fierce, so I performed one of my comfort activities -- learning to wok.

I feel that. My sisters and I "sat Shiva" (not sure that's the right way to phrase it, since we're all gentiles) when my mother passed away. It was nice -- don't know how else to phrase it. We weren't dancing around or anything, just very...sober, for lack of a better word, but not morose or mourning.

Happy belated birthday! (party favour noise)

LOL, Internet Storm Center didn't have anything on it at the time that I posted. Try this instead: Check Point Research

You quit...Amazon?!?!?

Didn't realize you were that old. 🙃

Raising awareness, do your own due dilligence (check your favourite feeds, Internet Storm Center, &c.): VoidLink was detected around 2026-01-13: Cloud-Native Malware Framework; Linux-based; extremely sophistocated; stealthy; modular, adaptive behavior based on detected environment; Go/Zig/C (dammit, now I have to learn Zig); highly in-depth knowledge of Linux internals... As I saw said about about it elsewhere, "targeting Windows, hackers were in the lobby; targeting Linux, hackers are now in the vault".

Happy birthday, Grəm! Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way... (party favour noise)

Just a short

My favourite discovery of 2025 is Kardi, mostly because of this insanely under-rated powerhouse of a singer, Kim Yeji. I haven't heard them do songs like these two (I'll post the other one in another thread), before, respect.

Doh!

The audience looks emotionally spent by the end of this. At least, I am.

So...yes and no. I wouldn't say it moved further than the book, so much as...expanded everything -- character development of every single character, the detail of side quests, the cinematography, &c. You got some necessary updates, but also TV shows have to do TV show things, so every cast member has to be in every episode (mostly). At least, for the duration of the story arc. It has gotten quite meandery, and somewhat slightly bloated. At least it doesn't fall into the trap of Westworld, where it gets so abstract I'm not sure what the intention was. And yes, Ian McShane gets to sing in one episode again, just like he did in that one episode of Deadwood.

Which Rick Beato video? I love U.K./Bruford.

I doubt I got a security ping, it's just a meme. It says, "The American government could take every billionaires' assets the same way they stole Venezuela's oil".

Apparently, "blurple" is a freak of nature that took the recessive genes from both parents. As nature is wont to do on occasion.

From memory: Yellows -- happiness Reds -- energy Blue -- cool, calm Purple -- Royalty Greens and Oranges -- psychoses 🙃 Black -- self-harm, depression, death And now, testing my memory: I like how it felt obliged to raise its voice in defense of green and orange, but didn't defend black at all.
