My daughter hasn’t listened to Life of a Showgirl yet so I convinced her the lyrics to Wood were: Oh my god it’s such a mystery What kind of material is in this tree? And now she’s walking around the house singing it.

Rebuilding my desktop with a 5090 (thanks @Newegg ) and found these gems in my “computer” bin…. Diablo, System Shock 2, Masters of Magic, and a Windows 98 boot floppy…. Good memories here.

Iron Law of Prohibition!!!! I spoke about this at Blackhat a few years ago in relation to TikTok: When you ban something people like, it comes back in a more potent and harder to detect form.
Xiaohongshu, also known as RedNote, has hit #1 on the US App Store following news of a possible TikTok ban on January 19th.

Reminds me of the Transmetropolitan panel I bought last time Trump got elected… unfortunately it rings very true once again. Brown-trousering the naughty remains one of my favorite lines from the comic.

It’s my 3rd year handing out Pokemon cards with the candy and a girl came up to me and said I gave her the first Pokemon cards she ever had and now it’s her favorite hobby. One of the best Halloween moments I ever had. I’ll never forget my first TCG cards either!

With the dollar being so favorable to the yen it seemed like a great time to try and buy Buzz Ricksons directly from Japan. I bought 3 items from the @GreatDismal line and had them delivered to Forward2Me who shipped them on to me. Dangerous to know it’s that easy now!

Animal Behavior majors unite (but I probably spent 20k on tuition total, 360k sounds insane).
Friend of mine told me his daughter graduated Bucknell University and he spent $360k on her education there last 4 years. Majored in Animal Behavior. Living at home now making $18/hr at a job at an amusement park.
