Associated Press: "MANHEIM, Pa. (AP) — Democrat James Andrew Malone narrowly won a special election for a Pennsylvania state Senate seat in Republican-leaning suburbs and farming communities, scoring an upset in a district that a Democrat hasn’t represented in the chamber for 136 years."

And so it begins.....

A quotation from Orwell

A thing is funny when — in some way that is not actually offensive or frightening — it upsets the established order. Every joke is a tiny revolution. If you had to define humour in a single phrase, you might define it as dignity sitting on a tin-tack. Whatever destroys dignity, and brings down the mighty from their seats, preferably with a bump, is funny. And the bigger the fall, the bigger the joke. It would be better fun to throw a custard pie at a bishop than at a curate.

@seaotta : I just wrote infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStrat *three* times in Firefox for Android.

Switching to another browser or converting images causes Alzheimers in Firefox: my text and images (plus Alt text) are GONE.

I know that I should close more browser tabs, but loosing text I just entered is simply unacceptible. I'm now considering to switch to a dedicated Mastodon app, loathing the idea of having to read about and select a reasonable (privacy and security) Mastodon app.

AARRGGHH

not a good morning for me, not doing particularly well

"Lost in the thicket, the angels abandoned
Knives tore off their small wings and all I fucking see is the tower
Constricting, oppressing, my mind turns to dust
And my heart fills with pus
And the steel drowns out their lamenting cries
God won't listen
Reconstruct my consciousness, deconstruct divine
Clotted blood drips off of my fucking hands
Depraved catastrophe consumed me then
This sin tethers, sows into me
Strike me down, take what's left
Shepherd me, death"
- Aberrant Waltz by Disembodied Tyrant
