β€˜Andor’ Creator Tony Gilroy Gives the Interview He Couldn’t During Its Release While promoting his cautionary tale about fascism, Disney asked Gilroy to refrain from using the word. Nine months after it aired its finale, the 'Star Wars' series feels scarily prescient.

I cannot speak highly enough about Andor. Go watch it through whatever means. You'd be a fool to think it's about Star Wars.

@pikapods.bsky.social Do you think y'all will offer Discourse again by chance?

Wow, only way I knew MLS was starting soon was from listening to @3rddegree.net and @soccerwisehq.bsky.social. MLS has really dropped the ball, WTF are they even doing.

I was listening to the podcast and picked up the game when I saw you post this.

Reminds me of an old game called 'Star Wars: Droid Works' that I played as a kid. I've had an absolute blast with this game lately, thanks for the recommendation.

If Stephen Miller is still in the White House, that means the white nationalist gameplan is still all systems GO.

What we're witnessing is just window dressing and distractions.

Tom Homan is just as bad as Bovino, but less openly Nazi.

Keep your eyes wide open.

Microsoft Gave FBI BitLocker Encryption Keys, Exposing Privacy Flaw The tech giant said providing encryption keys was a standard response to a court order. But companies like Apple and Meta set up their systems so such a privacy violation isn’t possible.

Do not store your Bitlocker encryption keys on Microsoft's servers if your threat model includes governments or law enforcement. As this article points out, this is the result of a design choice Microsoft made. It didn't have to be this way. www.forbes.com/sites/thomas...

D’oh! I reached out to a book author who’ll autograph and send you their book directly if you reach out.

I was going to gift it, but they also put my name in the inscription. That’s on me... looks like they’ll be getting another order. Fortunately it's a good book that I'll definitely read.

I can only assume one of the set or prop folks for High Potential is from DFW with an FC Dallas (!!), Stars, and Cowboys pennants in the latest episode.

You know what’s really stupid? Enabling crossfade on Apple Music requires you to go into the Settings app, then find Apple Music and then enable it from there. Absolute madness to not let me set it directly in the app.

I don't remember seeing any calls for violent retribution after a Minnesota state senator was assassinated, and it would have been nice not to see any today.

Excellent demonstration of how cartography is political.
Even if data were objective (lol it isn't), the way we put it together is deeply subjective and guides the reader to specific conclusions.
When you look at a map, ask yourself what the message is. Could the map be made another way?
