Mr Rogers was a republican.
He was a white christian cis het man.

He prayed and read the Bible every day.

He created a children's TV show with taxpayer money in which he promoted his "christian views" to a secular audience through secular media.

He studied other religions and other cultures to improve on his reach and connection. He never preached or quoted scripture--yet, we all got the message he intended for us.

He appealed to President Nixon and Congress to continue to fund the creation of PBS with a persuasive speech that is one of the most studied for public speaking and PR. A gentle but powerful speaker.

While white people were pouring concrete into public pools rather than share with black neighrbors, Fred Rogers broadcast himself sharing a quiet conversation in a pool with African-American music and co-worker, Francios Clemmons. The softest act of defiance against White Supremacy.

He was the most demanded speaker on college campuses--he did not have to con his way onto campus to speak and nazis and counter-protesters did not follow his appearances---You know, despite the fact that he was a white christian man promoting christian values to the general public.

Every generation since the 1968 has been positively impacted by Mr Rogers.

Even children in the past 20 years are benefiting from his legacy at PBS --his methods and messages are STILL used in children's programming around the world.

No one had to mandate mourning his death because we all actually felt a genuine loss when he passed away. Even grown adults, who had not watched his show for 10 years by the time he passed, felt a piece of genuine goodness leave the planet.

We did not have to be Christian with Mr Rogers for him to do so much for us.

He never asked us to be Christian with him.

He only asked us to be his neighbor.

So...

If you find that the general public is rejecting your brand of Christianity, it might because you are a horrible fucking person with a 2000 yr old book of shitty excuses that no one is buying into.

It might be because you are a filthy grifter looking to capitalize off end-times hysteria and seniors with end-of-life anxieties.

It might be cause you are a disgusting bigot trying to reap superiority while evading moral accountability.

It probably has nothing to do at all with you actually "being a christian".

Cause we all fucking loved Mr Rogers.

Maybe it’s just me, but I’d much rather have an entire Somali immigrant family with two happy trans kids living right next door to me than a white supremacist or a racist MAGA lunatic any day of the week.

The memory supply/pricing problem is an opportunity for retrocomputing and for actually making *efficient* use of resources.

This was a nice post to spot today https://bsd.network/@mk/115660959082583150

Right, today I’m going to try to finally get a small project over the line, I’m going to need help later though so if you have a cute pet please get them ready

And there's F5 again. Publishing impact to some of their shit by CVE-2019-8457. Yes, that CVE was published on 30 May 2019 and F5 is just now publishing an advisory for it. And there is impact.

Model employee? No, I'm a modal employee.

you tell me what to do and I can't do anything else until that's done.

@orbific oh nice. These are lovely. Thank you @orbific

It is time. Welcome to the Silly Scribbles Advent Thread. I have no overarching plan this year, other than I *might* try & add an additional Friend for each day, because I think that might be funny by Christmas Eve.

Anyhow, starting with one based on my Christmas Card design for this year (mainly because I am very behind with everything & it was the only festive image I have done).

I give you... FESTIVE BORB!

Watching LinkedIn for people I've worked with during pentesting has been rather interesting. There are a lot of security roles that have just turned into AI roles, which is fascinating because I've seen your networks and you needed way more security people not less...

I retooted this last week, but I must draw further attention to it.

Go and check out these fonts – if for no other reason than they are *exquisite* and *free* for non-commercial use.

But also, take a couple of minutes to read the whole page, including the FAQ under the samples. So often (and boy have I been guilty of this in the past), designers and devs reach for the font that looks best and not worry about whether you actually have a license for it. Or, failing that, the closest Google Fonts alternative.

No longer. I will soon be correcting this across my entire web presence.

Bravo Matthew.

(if it keeps selling, by the New Year I might actually reach the dizzying financial heights of minimum wage for the time put into it!)

Any help with continuing to spread the word about this appreciated!
If you’ve received your copy & like it then it’s totally OK to post pics as long as you don’t show entire listings, and I’d love to get the attention of more retro computing communities etc

SCIENCE FACT.

A dog gets more factual information from sniffing another dog's arsehole than a human gets from reading the Reform UK manifesto.
