Something I was wondering about this morning: native English speakers, do you pronounce initial [wh] and initial [w] differently? I.e., is there a difference in the way you pronounce 'which' and 'witch' or 'whether' and 'weather'?

Please boost for reach.

Die Deutschen feierten zu oft krank, so Merz & Co. …

Während Merz Disziplin von den Arbeitnehmern fordert, erreichen die Fehlzeiten im Parlament neue Rekordwerte. Ein Befund, der die Kritik des Kanzlers wie einen Steinwurf im Glashaus wirken lässt.

So, one thing I said at yesterday is that Fediverse software should ship with the IFTAS DNI list as the default, minimum blocklist. Ideally, the list should periodically auto-update.

If you *want* to see gore, racist harassment, or transphobia, you can consciously remove those sites from your blocklist. If you want to subscribe to a different blocklist, you should get to do that, too.

Fediverse admins shouldn't have to learn how to find the DNI list and install it the hard way.

IFTAS is *Independent* Federated Trust And Safety. It is a non-profit dedicated to improving user safety in the Fediverse and supporting the work of Fediverse moderators.

DNI is the "do not interact" blocklist maintained by IFTAS. It's a "worst of the worst" list that prevents interaction with, among other things, dedicated instances for racist, transphobic and homophobic trolls.

I want to recommend some training resources related to using Cyberchef. I know from my past experiences at Applied Network Defense that Chris Sanders has a video-based training on how to best utilize it. Does anyone have any other references? books? other training that they'd recommend?

"Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump."
npr.org/2026/02/24/nx-s1-57239

The missing files are about accusations that Trump sexually assaulted a child and hit her in the head. The FBI interviewed the accuser four times and the DOJ has not released the interview notes.

All allegations of Trump wrongdoing are worth watching. But this one is especially worth watching because it has three properties:
1. It's serious.
2. It's well-documented. (Thanks to .)
3. It's one that many voters and politicians take seriously.

Hundreds of Trump scandals have the first two properties. Almost none has the third.

This creates the prospect of actual accountability.

On a gut level, this is possibly the most apt framing of "AI" and its consequent "disruptions" that I've seen.

IMO it is no overstatement to correlate "AI" with death, nor apprehensions against it with grief for what we are already losing to it.

Audrey Watters, "AI grief observed" (with thanks to @Kjaerulv who brought it to my attention):
