SRE's mom: <nudging SRE> That should've been you

So the Linkin Park website got updated.
Now it has a dialog box that references a virus that was shared using their name online wire 15 years ago.
If you click the button it pretends something went wrong and then has a countdown timer that expires at 6:00 p.m. GMT on Wednesday 1/
Even better is when you dive into the code for the website, it's pretty simple and you can see where the blue page is being displayed.
What's more fascinating is what they called that div:
countdon-rapper
Not countdown-wrapper.

If rising heating costs are getting you down, go buy some Ardbeg whisky. It was so much peat you can use it as a solid fuel substitute.
Which, frankly, is still better than drinking it.
Is someone making "I have root at uber.com" t-shirts and handing them out to every random person they walk up to yet?
I've never read the Lord of the Rings, and this week I started to listen to it as an audiobook.
The first thing that has struck me is the repeated descriptions of Gollum as an evil creature that "ate fish raw", and all I can imagine is this poor thing just liked sushi.

Ouch. Seems the farcial whitewash of an investigation into the deaths of tens of thousands of babies, and destruction of more lives ... will be allowed to stand. Unlike the remains of the babies, still in the septic tanks of the religious institutions paid to "look after them".
