I think @karenhallionkenney.bsky.social is an amazing person.

Some of you didn't watch "The West Wing" and it shows

Apparently I missed that BlueSky enabled MFA. It's a horrible email-based MFA, but it's something! Now to authenticator apps!

In Settings, under Security is an option to Enable email 2FA, which the screenshot mentions "require an email code to sign in to your account"

Wasn't that basically a plot point in "Brewster's Millions"?

Yep, and we're also still waiting for Mexico to pay for the wall.

I wish I had admin rights to use -Scope AllUsers. I don't, so now I'm looking for alternatives where I can still have all my modules but without OneDrive being involved. The hunt, as they say, continues.

This just feels like a milkshake duck waiting to happen. Either that or some fact checking that proves it didn't happen.

Goodbye "Microsoft 365 F5 Security + Compliance Add-on"
Hello "Microsoft Defender + Purview Suite Add-on for FLW"

Makes me glad we stuck with the "F3" branding with users because this would have been confusing as heck to them.

It's ok to not be ok.

There's a lot happening. Most of it is pretty awful.

Be kind.

Be patient.

Say what you will about Banana Ball, but resurrecting one of the Negro League Baseball teams, the Indianapolis Clowns, is a fantastic move.

I think we all get to a certain age where these kinds of calls get made, and it changes everything. I'm really glad yours turned out for the better!

Since the federal government is shut down, does that mean employees don't have to pay federal taxes? Asking for a friend...

It's crazy being in meetings and having discussion about what the budget is going to be in 2030. I barely even can accept this is 2025.

Probably dumping @hellofresh.bsky.social The last two boxes have had missing ingredients. Today's box was to arrive by 8p and it hasn't shown up yet (9:47p). This is turning into more hassle than it's worth.

Here is the link to the 1989 SCOTUS decision ruling that flag burning is protected by the first amendment. It was a huge deal back then. I genuinely wonder what John Roberts thinks of Trump posts like this. supreme.justia.com/cases/federa...

To ICE, Border Patrol, Law Enforcement, and all U.S.
Military: As per my August 25, 2025 Executive Order, please be advised that, from this point forward, anybody burning the American Flag will be subject to one year in prison. You will be immediately arrested. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.

Want to know why?

Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.

Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.
