That Other Dude
@theotherdude.bsky.social
This Dude Stands with Ukraine on that other platform. Writer, cybersecurity/OSINT, slayer of trolls, susser of bots, chef, Cubs fan, member of the first work 'til you die generation, watching this shit with disbelief.

Also, I know things about stuff.
Not all of us were jet setters, though I gotta say, flying on TWA's first 747 in 1969, from ORD to SFO, was a helluva experience. Very different from today.

Most, of the times I flew in the 60s were related to my dad's job. He was transferred a bunch as he rose up through the ranks at Allstate.

That's one helluva trophy, especially for a 2nd level winner. Only the Stanley Cup comes close, and it's not that close.

Zelensky has expressed thanks at least 78 times, and likely more.

Trump is lying. Surprise!

It's bullshit. They study did not say DST was the better choice. It said either/or.

Either the fake account trollchoad can't fucking read or they're fucking lying.

Bullshit. That is NOT what the study said. It said *either* permanent DST or ST would be better.

Permanent DST is the better choice, because it fucking sucks going to work in the dark and coming home in the dark in the winter.

Lots of bots out there looking to follow-farm users and engagement. Always vet an account before following or following back.

One method of vetting is to look at an account's responses. If they add little or no comment to posts they share, it's a bot.

An AI generated profile pic is another.

He's a dead-ender Reagan appointee who's only gotten crazier over the years. You can see the crazy with this guy. His official portrait drips crazy.

Actually, it's another Big Lie.

I didn't quote post this, and I waited a few hours, because I didn't want to embarrass the very nice person who posted it, but...

I'm sorry, but this looks like vomit on a bed of toasted bugs.

Schumer opposed the deal, and urged his caucus to stand fast. Eight (7+1 indie who caucuses with Dems) refused to do so.

This is indicative of weak leadership. What we need is an LBJ, not a Jar Jar Binks.

Sorry for the Star Wars PTSD.

You'd have to be a total fucking moron to believe this stupid-ass, ridiculous, laughably false bullshit for even a nanosecond.

And right on cue...

He's lying his ass off here, as usual, all to stop hungry children from being fed, because that's the kind of narcissistic sociopathic prick he is.

Well, at least he heard about this, unlike most of the important stuff in the news that he continually claims to know nothing about.

Here in the ATX, it's all about the bats. 1.5 million of them live downtown under the Ann Richards Bridge, aka the Congress Ave bridge.

The 1.5 million bats living under the Congress Ave. bridge in downtown Austin hope you had a happy Halloween.

This is one of the most pathetic things I've ever seen.

He'll never get a Nobel of his own, so the best he can do is take credit for a Nobel win that had fuck-all to do with him.

Just a guess, but I think Chris Wright might have a different take.
