Finally watched Obsession.
This answer regarding Black Magic from the FAQ of The Green Man Shoppe & Apothecary seems to sum up the horror the film portrays:
*To do magical or spiritual work to bend the will of another person to our own is to seek to negate that freedom...If love is what you wanted, if your spell works, what you will get is slavery. If you don’t see the problem with that, then at least consider the consequences for yourself. What you enslave you are enslaved to.*

Allright. How about this #nightimewakeningfeverthoughts:
#AI has made the #www less visible, the same way electricity/lighting made the night sky less visible. It's still there, you just have to get to the #outerlimits (https://youtu.be/48jSLNKLf8w?t=131&is=BGHwfLS_VpTjTGn5)

Kthx. I'll see if I can get to sleep... again. 🤒

You, who say that that there is a Digital Garden --
-- I see, yes, the space, and the labor of your hands and mind.
But tell me, in this your garden-- what is it there that slowly and out of sight, grows?
Folks never in live broadcasting generally have no idea how incredibly chaotic it can be leading up to the last minutes and in some cases even last seconds before air in radio and television. Yet somehow at zero it always seems to sound and look fine.
@lauren I've gotten a teeny tiny taste of that with many live radio (and a few live TV) interviews. Even remotely, the level of chaos before the interview starts is impressive. And I've never yet had a host/producer/tech drop my interview, even on the tiniest radio stations. Truly impressive work. (I'm glad it's not my work, that sounds stressful!)
This is an actual post from the current president of the US, threatening to invade and annex the three NATO countries Canada, Greenland, and Iceland.
Vote for a return to sanity on November 3.

IMPORTANT PASSWORD SECURITY/PRIVACY ISSUE
----
For everyone:
If you are using the same password for Mastodon that you use anywhere else, CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD NOW.
A hacker is stealing accounts on Mastodon using something called “credential stuffing.” This means they use email/password combinations stolen from other sites.
This is a common hacking technique. But right now someone is targeting Mastodon accounts.
This is not a security flaw with Mastodon. Someone is just using it across Mastodon.
You can check if your email is in a data breach elsewhere:
Create a new strong password:
1. 12+ characters
2. Capital/lowercase letters
3. At least one special character
For admins:
The hacker is using the same unique user agent.
Go-http-client/1.1
We’re seeing a pattern of IPs, but they’re from varying ISPs. They’re also not changing the account emails.

@markwyner thanks for bringing this up. it's important
Animals fed and watered, stalls cleaned, completely exhausted from the work, the heat, and the bowling. I think an 8:30 bedtime is in the cards tonight.

This sounds intelligent, deploying community workers rather than cops. #Melbourne https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09-08/frankston-community-connectors-linking-vulnerable-people-to-help/107117130

What baffles me personally is the insane release rates that some of these vibe coded projects have. I use one that has sometimes 4 releases per day.
@jeroen at least it _has_ releases lol

@lauren The trick is being sure, amid all the chaos, about what's going to happen in those first few seconds.
@mrowe I've never seen an actual miss. But man, I've seen some that were close, like with the IFB going to dial tone in my ear less than a minute before air and other scary stuff. Not being able to hear the director or program feed on a live network interview is seriously scary. For my regular weekly live radio segments I'm hooked into master control about half hour before air these days.

On Labor Day let's remember the men & women who wake up before the sun and work through the heat, rain and more to put food on our tables. Their work deserves fair wages, safe working conditions, dignity and a voice on the job. This #LaborDay stand with farm workers. #WeFeedYou
