My spiritual hometown, Spokane, is currently ablaze. While I'm not in danger as I've been living in the more humid Midwest since the Air Force PCS'd my family here, my grandmother just evacuated her home last night. (1/3)

Congress appropriated billions of dollars for new transit projects. Why is the Trump administration spending none of it? Why are even transit projects in red states going unfounded? New reporting in @nytimes.com (gift link): www.nytimes.com/2026/07/27/u...

The International Football Association Board (IFAB), the board that writes the rules for Soccer, should, at this point in time, find a way to dissolve FIFA and replace it with a new Federation. One that Trump can't meddle with. Fuck FIFA and Infantino. www.ft.com/content/819c...

I don't have my ace ring on. It feels like an ace ring day and I don't have it on. Naked, I feel.

CONCACAF has done their draw for the Nations League tournament. You thought World Cup was the end of soccer for the USMNT?? HAH! Football is eternal! (BTW: US, CA, MX, and PA are pre-seeded. They are not a part of the draw. But you know who is? Curaçao. Puerto Rico, US VI)

Enby friends, do this.

If the Heritage Foundation is going to shove Complementarianism into sports, then defending being a fan of Woman's Football (of all codes), basketball, softball, and martial arts is an act of resistance.

You know, a pride org run by anarchists really shouldn't use Meta as their sole presence online.

Only 25% of participants are over 30, so older people are under-represented in the survey results. Over-30s tend to find the survey via the mailing list emails and Facebook. Might you be up for sharing this Facebook post to your profile or to a local LGBTQ+ group? www.facebook.com/gendercensus...

There was a supply chain attack in AUR. If you use Arch make sure you're aware of it. It's bad. ioctl.fail/preliminary-...

Preliminary analysis of AUR malware

Malware Analysis Report: deps Report date: 2026-06-11 VT Link Triage Link Note: The following report was very hastily written by Codex. (I have fact-checked it against the IDA decompilation though 🐉...

The Arch Linux AUR had over 400 packages compromised with malware #Linux #ArchLinux #Security

The Arch Linux AUR had over 400 packages compromised with malware

Looks like the Arch Linux AUR (Arch User Repository) needs some better security and package checks - as some malicious users compromised a lot of packages.

Arch Linux's AUR Sees More Than 400 Packages Compromised With Malware - https://www.phoronix.com/news/Arch-Linux-AUR-400-Compromised

I find it ironic that @bleepingcomputer.com 's most latest article at the time of this post is an ad for supply chain attack monitoring and prevention all while the AUR is undergoing such? Might just be co-inky-dink, but it's certainly a tad ironic.

For the past few weeks, I've switched over from using QWERTY (the worst keyboard layout) to Colemak, an optimized keyboard layout that focuses on comfort by making small changes to QWERTY

@nebpublicmedia.bsky.social I don't know if anyone sees this, but when do you think the schedule for KOOO and its livestream link will be in the app and website?

@sega-west.bsky.social @sega.jp I know it's probably not on your schedule or even a twinkle of your eye, but is there any hope... any chance that we can get a PC port of Skies of Arcadia??

Reinventing the self...

If Piracy is theft, then any "game collector" who buys Complete-In-Box for the purpose of having a copy that is "Complete-In-Box" should also be considered thieves for stealing the opportunity for someone who has not yet to experience the game to experience the game.

Is it just me, or is a majority of Queer Vexillology summed up as "Oops! All Stripes!"? We need more chevrons. More saltires. More crosses. More stars. More cantons and fields. We can't keep drawing a few thick lines in Inkscape and call it a flag. We're creative. Let's be creative.

So... this week has been a bit rough. Nothing major. Just a lot of small irritants cascading. Also, with a bit of introspection, I feel I find myself on the aro spectrum as well as the ace spectrum.

To be sex-positive, the first step one needs to take is to be non-sex positive. How are you going to be sex-positive if you bully an ace and call them oppressive and repressive? No. Acknowledge first that for some people, sex isn't their life. Celebrate that fact and place it on the same level.
