My lingering frown turns upside down whenever I spot a “we’re living in a science fiction movie” headline. I can’t help but think classically that reality’s so much more strange and plenty much more so than say, imagination.

Will fiction beat non-fiction? Find out next time following the equator with David “Pudd’nhead” Wilson’s time travelling calendar and when in doubt, always be telling the truth on this good Friday.

I feel for the confused folks? We should’ve swapped to proportional voting and fixed election dates already. It’d remove so much kiddish futility. Let’s be honest, no majority actually cares about candidates, independents, or independent boundaries (proof)!

Who even watches/reads news closely anyway!? Ignoring independents, say, with a crude proportional system of closed list party representation, the results would’ve looked like:

- Governing Party: 21 seats (51% of 41 seats)
- Opposing Party:  15 seats (35% of 41 seats)
- Third Party:      5 seats (12% of 41 seats)

We “copied” New Zealand (proof) on taxes, might as well copy the rest, imo.

I find it curious. This is the first time I’ve heard much talk of PHP offline. I thought no one knew enough to ask “what about PHP 6?” (a question that’s close to my heart). I’m no cybersecurity expert (my proficiency is in outing fires), but there’s exponentially infinite “fun” source material either way if anyone’s interested in this sort of thing:

Gotta say, my anti-seo game is good. How dangerous was php2shell? Murphy’s law dangerous. Patch and don’t relax?

An old hack also once said that ya can’t hack what ain’t there. Trip wiring software on mere mentions/intrusiveness just might be an optimal tactic nowadays.

Personally, I think XZ utils’ backdoor fiasco really phoned home the realization of OSS as minimally funded Swiss cheese. Will defense-in-depth tricks incentively become like a natural phenomenon?
