When we connect household items to the internet, we prepend the word smart to them. It's a neat little mental trick we play on ourselves to keep us from realizing how fucking stupid we are connecting household items to the goddamn Internet.

The AWS outage bricked people's $2,700 smartbeds, leaving them in a reclining position or with the heat up. People were unable to use them, basically. A GitHub repo exists that lets people operate their beds without reliance on the normal infrastructure

The AWS Outage Bricked People’s $2,700 Smartbeds

When Amazon Web Services went offline, people lost control of their cloud-connected smart beds, getting stuck in reclined positions or roasting with the heat turned all the way up.

I don't know the rule on how long you have before you should know a bit about what you've tattooed on your body, but I'm pretty sure it's way less than twenty years.

With all the craziness going on, we probably should have expected a Death in June "is he or isn't he?" candidate to pop up.

Of all the scumbag billionaires, this guy is the sleaziest. His smooth talking benevolent nice guy act is good PR, but he will always stand in the way of any meaningful progress reducing income inequality.

New Demilich song. A Suppurize De-livering by the Putrefactory. I desperately want this to be a sign of a new album, but the title smacks of Antti Boman's gloriously wierd word play humor and he's yanking our chain.

Death/doom band #DwellingBelow unearth a new song! Despite buried in endless layers of filth, they manage to incorporate an emotive lead or two! Check it out!

If epic heavy metal is your thing, check out Dolmen Gate. Highly recommended.

My first academic article was on the dictatorship of Uzbekistan inventing a group called "Akromiya" that did not really exist but which they used to arrest anyone with whom they disagreed under the pretext of "terrorism". Just bringing this up for no reason whatsoever!

Six weeks of recovery from a ruptured ear infection (being immunocompromised sucks) and my hearing is mostly back. Let's put it through its paces with one of my favorite underground bands that needs way more exposure.

These are right-wing terror events I covered just from 2017 to 2023. It's not even close to comprehensive. The government's trying to erase this history.

"Dobson's case is illustrative of how speaking ill of the dead can be an important and powerful form of truth-telling."

Swap in "Kirk" for "Dobson" and the same applies. Both men used their powerful reach and massive platforms to spread hatred and fuel violence toward marginalized people

You do not, under any circumstances, gotta hand it to Charlie Kirk (or any other fascist).

One day after the Supreme Court lifted the ban on racial profiling, federal agents swarmed a car in Van Nuys.

Four masked agents with guns drawn yanked people out, slammed them to the ground, and pointed a weapon at a pregnant woman.

There is no justification for this. None.

It's really hard to focus on kitchen table issues when you cannot get home to your kitchen table because you've been yanked out of your car at gunpoint.

I preordered a couple tshirts a month ago, but now that the US is cut off from the civilized world, I don't expect to ever see them. Is there even a point to trying to order anything overseas?
