#Finch support is incredible. I reached out to them yesterday through their site & explained my ordeal. Although they couldn't access my previous game (strict privacy rules), they gifted me 10 items of my choice & reimbursed all my rainbow stones and then some. Definitely a light in the darkness.

The pop up screen from the Finch app letting me know I have gifts to claim.

Naked bodies are hard to classify.

Why ghosts wear clothes or white sheets instead of appearing in the nude

The issue of ghost clothes is interesting for historians of the supernatural because, like a loose thread, pulling at it starts to unravel some of the assumptions about matter in spiritualism.

Seasonal rewatch update:
The Haunting of Hill House...done.

Next up is Midnight Mass and if you've never seen it, do yourself a favor. Brilliantly executed. Intelligent. Unnerving. Relatable. If I could own it on Blu-ray I would.

It's a slow burn, but damn, does it give one helluva payoff.

If you're still on Twitter, this thread is a sobering example of why it's in your best interest to get off that platform as quickly as possible.

important note from libcrusher:

Reactivating temporarily to send a warning.
Since I got doxxed, it appears the same doxxing ring has targeted several other users. I learned that they were banned this week, only for Elon to, apparently, personally unban them. I feel obliged to warn everyone about my experience.

It wasn't just my personal information that got published. Someone, somewhere, got my passwords too. For my banking accounts, brokerage accounts, venmo, etc.
Most of which had different and unique passwords. All these attempts started the day i got doxxed, and have sporadically continued since.

If you know anyone who's been doxxed by this group, you need to have them change all their passwords on every website immediately. Ensure 2FA and any other security measures are in place everywhere.
And, wherever possible, document and report it. Frankly, if you're a lefty of any note, do it now too

If anyone was also a victim of this or knows someone who was, there are ways to reach me. I wish I could go into more details right now. But until that time comes, protect yourself.

I will be deactivating in 20 minutes.
Hopefully, that's enough time for the warning to get out.

Turned the heat on for the first time in 5? 6? months. It was 39 degrees this morning with highs forecasted in the 60's.

The scent of hot dust wafts through the air. Aaaaah, the smell of autumn. 😂

7. When Eliason re-ran the numbers correctly, the trend line flipped entirely, showing that the share of students identifying as neither male nor female had increased, not decreased. Kaufmann’s analysis, in other words, didn’t reveal a cultural shift—it revealed statistical malpractice.

1. Many of you have seen a graph purporting to show trans identification has decreased in recent years.

Matt Walsh and Elon Musk celebrated it as a victory over "transgenderism."

Turns out, the entire graph is based on an egregious math and statistics error.

Subscribe to support our journalism.

Fact Check: No, There Is Not A New Survey Showing Trans Identity Is Decreasing

The claim, which originates from far-right professor Eric Kaufmann, appears to have made a glaring error: the survey actually shows more people have come out, not fewer.

My Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X review.

The top phrases running through my mind while testing it:

"Someone's getting fired for greenlighting this launch"

"This is not an Xbox"

"If this is the future of Xbox, Xbox is screwed."

Went with the middle.

“i’ve gotten in five car crashes, so my body is stronger than yours that’s never been in a car crash”

Denis - The COVID Info Guy @thecovidinfoguy.bsky.social · 1d

Getting COVID 5 times doesn’t make you “stronger.” The immune system isn’t a muscle—repeated infections can cause cumulative damage and raise long-term risks.

Protect your immune system by avoiding repeat infections: clean air, masks, vaccination.
