Concussion protocol at protests is important these days. Victims try to tough it out, but their decision-making is impaired. Please understand that the lucid interval of epidural hematoma can range anywhere from 30 minutes to a full day after initial unconsciousness. Learn to spot obtundation.

We need to be better at trying to get people with head injuries from being shot to leave the protest for medical treatment. It is already hard to make sound decisions after a few rounds of tear gas add a concussion, and it's worse. I did not follow that advice in 2020. I regret it.

Head injury = automatic ER visit. First 48 hours, watch for: • Vomiting • Seizure • Slurred speech • Weakness, numbness, or tingling esp. on one side • Increasing confusion • Increasing restlessness or agitation • Extreme drowsiness • Slow to respond to questions or stimuli

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read. He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

If you work for the federal government and are tempted to take Musk’s “buyout” offer please know that you’re never going to see that money.

sooo…at what point is it okay to say “okay shits *real* bad” and decide it’s time to leave?

I have once again delayed writing a blog post for a bug that’s about to be made public until the last minute even though I had months to do it 💀

Some folks are pretty good seeing things coming.

Of course I’d get sick on my first day of PTO 🙃

A test of Bluesky's critical mass is how useful it is for breaking news like this. As soon as I heard from a friend about the quake, I came here to get news and was not disappointed.

Magnitude has just been revised down to M7.0 -- still an enormous quake.

OK cool, who needs fuzzers when you can segfault ImageMagick's convert with normal use.

Kinda wanna start cooking now to just be done with it and chill but also don’t want to end up having dinner at 4pm lol

So… I don’t see ads on here, which is weird considering this app is free to use. Apparently bsky also hosts their own infra and recently had to scale to handle the influx of users, which is crazy expensive in upfront costs. So, who/what is exactly paying for all of this?

tfw getting called back into work only 2 days into pto cuz shit is on fire again
