Hey all, I’m starting my search for internships. If you know of a good company looking for interns, I’d love to know.

I’m a second year in computer engineering, hoping to go into cyber something. I’m adaptable to nearly everything, and I’m open to just about anywhere.

Holy shit.

Reuters reporting that new admin instructions on visas are if you worked at a platform in trust & safety or content moderation or on fact checking or online safety at an platform you *and your loved ones* are ineligible for H-1B visa.

The paradox of good teachers: the good teachers have a line of students thanking the teacher,
and will continue being great.

The bad teachers, everyone leaves instantly and the teacher assumes the problem was with the students, and gets worse.

Also idk how it is elsewhere but in Oregon a major insurance provider recently changed their subcontractor who does payouts, and they're now massively stiffing providers on payments--sometimes paying them like 1/10th what they were previously getting.

It’s a very good mix tonight, you all should tune in.
tonight's radio show starts in three hours! there's no specific theme, but I'm playing a bunch of really special songs this week - the ones that make me the most emotional

Listening to my college radio station and uh... apparently a metal version of Come All Ye Faithful exists. I don’t think I needed to know that.

Finally connected the dots that one of my future roommates is a huge harry potter fan. I suspect that explains the look she gave my other roommate upon meeting me. 💀

Semi annual reminder you should check out @mynoise.bsky.social (mynoise.net). It’s ranked among my top 5 favorite websites, and there’s no ads or account needed (but a donation unlocked a lot more and it’s so worth it).

On one hand, it’s helpful to have a chart for end-of-life symptoms. On the other, it’s hard to watch more and more boxes get ticked off in the “next few days” category.

Just booked the hotel and flight for #defcon! I’ll be there for Friday, Saturday, and a bit of Sunday. Can‘t wait to be there!

RIP to Colgate‘s hockey goalie with the last name Dyck. The Michigan State announcer is having a field day with him.

It’s quite impressive they can still announce without doubling over in laughter.

Extroverts scare me. The group behind me has not stopped talking once the whole 6 hours so far. And they show no signs of quieting down anytime soon.
This bus ride of college students is a terrifying mix of people. I almost wish I took the normal bus.

It's my favorite day! It's the 38th anniversary of the Max Headroom signal broadcast intrusion!

1st incident lasted 25s during the 9PM news on WGN-TV in Chicago; The 2nd, 2hrs later, lasted ~90s on PBS affiliate WTTW during Dr. Who.

My mod-podge phone case has finally begun to admit defeat. It‘s cracking on the part I painted before the current case so it’s not unexpected, but now I don’t have the supplies to fix it. Will probably fully redo it once I get back from this trip.

It’s so fascinating to me how people will be within earshot of people giving information and still follow the crowd ignoring that information.

I wonder if there’s a random line competition at Defcon, lines going to nowhere.

Additionally, there are more trees now than there were in the 1500’s.
Across all the planets in the milky way the average number of trees per planet is at least 30
Man, everything is so bleak, anyone got a fun fact or little bit of trivia they want to share

99% sure Pandora and Spotify have linked my accounts now. My perfectly nice Pandora radio is getting ruined by songs I have on my Spotify that are the completely wrong genre.

The number of ads on Pandora seems to have sharply increased, so I don’t know how much longer I’ll keep using it.

I’m in badge heaven. I now have an And!Xor badge, a black badge, and (I think) a Queercon badge (has a big fingerprint on it).

I don’t think any Christmas/birthday can ever beat the day I get a new badge.
