"IT APPEARS LIKELY THAT ALL RECENT COMMERCIAL COLOR LASER PRINTERS PRINT SOME KIND OF FORENSIC TRACKING CODES, NOT NECESSARILY USING YELLOW DOTS. THIS IS TRUE WHETHER OR NOT THOSE CODES ARE VISIBLE TO THE EYE AND WHETHER OR NOT THE PRINTER MODELS ARE LISTED HERE. THIS ALSO INCLUDES THE PRINTERS THAT ARE LISTED HERE AS NOT PRODUCING YELLOW DOTS"

I feel like, if you're a site admin, and your site is brought down by toothbrushes, you gotta switch careers. Time to buy that farm you've been fantasizing about.

I don't put it on unless I'm prepared, because if I hear even just that opening chord, that's what's happening for the next hour. I recommend it highly but warn anyone that it's a wild trip through some very, very desperately dark places in memory of a clearly beloved friend, and they lost another, their sound designer, just before release. need to put my mind somewhere else now.
If you're unfamiliar with pulmonary hypertension, read up on it sometime: it's a trip through many fascinating and very important processes in the body -- many of which are only recently discovered, and still pushing the frontiers of medical science -- that everyone should know about!
Excellent news from my pulmonologist: on today's stress test they observed good vascular gas exchange. Repeat echocardiogram next month will verify whether right side cardiac hypertrophy has resolved; if so, we'll repeat right-heart catheterization testing and try discontinuing medication. I am deeply grateful for everyone's support and very hopeful this incredible good fortune will continue and allow me to actually beat this thing ❤️❤️❤️
Police slam their SUV into an #LGBTQ bar in St Louis, Missouri, Dec 18.
They then arrest the co-owner for felony assault but haven’t released body cam footage. Bystander video shows no assault.
Now they are threatening to condemn the building because it’s damaged.

Israel has destroyed all the universities in Gaza. Every single one of them. That is a war crime, pure and simple. It’s the obliteration of education and Palestinian future. Every university in the world should be outraged.
