4th Rider of the Ductopcalypse 👻🚫 @ductos.bsky.social · Oct 12

Hello everyone, I'm Christian. I'm working IT support in a library, where I also get to train people now and then. Usually open to everything pop culture, so I'm keeping update on everything I read and watch, no matter if it's #comics, #movies, #TV or #streaming series. Also learning #Esperanto.

Photo of myself in my "media room". I'm wearing a blue Logitech headset. A Lego Ecto-1 can be seen over my right shoulder in the back.

"AWS crash causes $2,000 Smart Beds to overheat" is something from a Final Destination pre-production brainstorming session www.dexerto.com/entertainmen...

AWS crash causes $2,000 Smart Beds to overheat and get stuck upright - Dexerto

The AWS outage caused chaos for owners of Eight Sleep’s Pod3 mattresses as they had no offline mode and were stuck at high temperatures.

Warum sind eigentlich die tausenden Menschen, die gegen die rassistische Aussagen von Merz protestieren jetzt keine "besorgten Bürger", die man ernst nehmen muss?

Für die "schönsten Adventsbräuche Deutschlands" hat die ARD einen Sendeplatz "vor acht". @klimavoracht.bsky.social gibt es hingegen immer noch nicht.

Glauben statt Wissen. Prioritäten. So wichtig.

Im vergangenen Jahr ist im Werberahmenprogramm des Ersten erstmals das neue "Advent vor acht" zu sehen gewesen. In diesem Jahr kehrt das Kurz-Format zurück - und wird deutlich ausgeweitet.

Jeder Widerspruch an Merz ist mittlerweile "linke (oder grüne) Kampagne".

Es braucht gar keine AfD-Regierung, damit das Land immer weiter gespaltet wird. Merz, Söder, Linnemann und Spahn rollen dieser Entwicklung (und damit der AfD) den roten Teppich aus.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

STEREOGUM: People my age, we talk about how we were lucky that we didn’t have social media growing up, and there’s no record of all the dumb shit we said and did. You didn’t have social media, but everything you said and did in those years is on record, and you’ve got to live with it now. That’s tough.

VIOLENT J: And the amount of gay Juggalos out there is really surprising. I think about them doing their research and getting the old records, getting excited about it, and getting their hearts broke or something, you know? I tell my daughter, “For the rest of your life, when your friends ask why your dad said that, say it’s because your dad was a fool. Don’t defend me. Say I was a fool then, but I’m not now.” There’s no excuse. I was going with the flow, and that’s the very thing we preach against — being a sheep. And that’s what I was doing.

This meme has been cursed with perpetual relevance.

A scene from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, an anime about the craziest shit you’ve ever seen happening homoerotically. A bunch of big muscle boys are in a red convertible. The driver (Jojo) is looking through the windshield in shock. Caption: "I didn’t expect the Third Reich to show up."

I could manage the push-ups (I think), the sit-ups and running probably not. 2,4 km in 15 minutes sounds doable on paper, but definitely not for me.

Yeah, I'd fail that too.

Lecturing active soldiers about being too fat while dropping standards so low for the ICE deportation force that a third of their recruits can't handle the easiest PT test I've ever heard of www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

More than a third have failed so far, four officials told me, impeding the agency’s plan to hire, train, and deploy 10,000 deportation officers by January. To pass, recruits must do 15 push-ups and 32 sit-ups, and run 1.5 miles in 14 minutes.
“It’s pathetic,” one career ICE official told me, adding that before now, a typical class of 40 recruits had only a couple of candidates fail, because the screening process was more rigorous.

seems like you could be minimally fit, join ICE for the signing bonus, and then just not do the job

My great-uncle passed away. I knew his health was deterioating, but it decreased rapidly last week.

We were not that close, but he was a fun guy.

Wenn Friedrich Merz sich auch nur ansatzweise interessieren würde dafür, was gut für meine Töchter ist, nähme er die Klimakrise ernst, würde den Verbrennungsmotor in Rente schicken, Überreiche fair besteuern und nie mehr AfD-Parolen nachbellen.
