I just made my first "official" report of a vulnerability in a Drupal 7 contrib module after End of Life™ . Let's the adventures begin!

Wet dogs in back of truck with towel

Attempting to de-muddify the dogs post Sandy River outing. It started hailing when we arrived, but ended up quite nice.

I had 4 days off and by the end of that time I was thinking about creative pursuits, maybe even getting involved in my community. Thank god that's over now

An enormous raccoon the size of a building jumping out from behind a snow covered mountain. The text reads: you can't summon the grand raccoon to end winter. You can: keep your space heater at least 3ft away from anything flammable. Plug it into the wall, never a power strip. Turn it off before you go to sleep.

It is time.

It’s been a very chickadee-filled fall here. No complaints, though it does often feel like they are accusing me of something.

I thought I was alone in this… my friends didn’t seem as irritated as they should be

Pleasant morning on the Sandy River

While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
“’Tis that fucking raven,” I muttered

Remember, kids, if Santa asks you whether you’ve been naughty or nice this year, you should always say, “Am I being detained?”

Wow: Santa has had to turn back from Europe after encountering a cookie warning at every chimney, jeopardizing his schedule.

Definitely agreed on the aesthetics. Hopefully they can spice that up.

Excited, like the idea of the mix of sc and warcraft3 camps/leveling. We shall see though, how quickly they respond to the reality of their player base will probably decide things.

With new advances in technology, computers will be able to do tiresome and unrewarding work like painting, writing, and composing music, leaving human beings free to create shareholder value and protect inventory

Sad because it’s raining or trying to get a treat…. We may never know 🐕

every cloud has a silver lining. this is to protect the datacenter from vampire attacks

This ad copy is art. It's like the winning entry in a one-sentence use-all-the-buzzwords contest. I've read it several times and I still have no clue what it means.

Hummingbird in flight, sticking out tongue

Fill the feeder and what’s my reward? A Rufus sticking its tongue out at me…smh, no respect :)… #hummingbird #birds

A 2038 vox explainer on how the “red river rivalry” used to be a college football thing, before it morphed into Texas and Oklahoma militias fighting pitched battles over the last of the potable water.

Next week is apparently Sea Otter Awareness Week, so remember: If you sea otter, say otter.

Oregon state playing tomorrow feels…very odd. With wazu handling business so far (I swear to god I’m not cursing you, it’s not over I’m not saying it’s over). I hope we handle business on Sunday. #cfb #pac2

Honey bee drinking nectar out of a purple-ish flower

It took awhile, but the garden finally has quite a few honey bees. 🐝📸

The pain from the fans on this one…you can feel it almost physically.

Turns out this expensive sports writing AI is so intelligent that whenever a game is close, it uses the exact same phrase “close encounter of the athletic kind.”

Useless garbage AI articles. Just post a box score if you’re too lazy to write a real article.

an orange and white cat looks proud. he is a big guy. if he bit your thumb, it would hurt a great deal. he may be playing Hearts of Iron IV on the laptop in the background.

little known fact: before blocking existed, roving bands of cats would simply seek out and find people who were awful online and bite their thumbs until they stopped.

this was not a perfect system. it was exhausting for the cats.

blocks are progress. we must not go backwards.

I’m going to start it. I’m very concerned, but do trust him. Original is probably my favorite book overall.
