At Christmastime, some newspaper or website's going to do a Year in Review for data security. And it's going to go on forever, and it's going to be horrible.
Have I thanks Amy Alkon, lately, for encouraging her readers to freeze their credit? Yes... Yes I have. It was a very good thing to encourage.

From Old RPM's linkie:
"Was it poorly written? Absolutely. Do I regret it? Yes. I am so sorry I wrote that," she said Thursday. "Meat eaters or not, no one deserves to die like that. I wasn't celebrating the death of those people."
You are (or were) an history professor. You're a wordsmith by trade. It wasn't poorly written, you selected the words you wanted. You meant what you wrote, and you should own that.
What you're sorry is that you failed to consider that other people would take you at your word. You're sorry that it cost you your business.

Oh, speaking of food, there's a new food documentary on Netflix, What the Health. This site fisks some of their claims. Here's #2 of 10:
Fat causes diabetes, not sugar
This is one of the most irresponsible claims I’ve ever heard and could seriously hurt people.
Okay— in three seconds, downshift to fourth and start to ease left, just a few degrees. When you feel the bump, hammer the brakes quickly, but only for a second, straighten out the steering over the following seven seconds, and be ready to hit a sharp right with negative camber. Don't worry, I'll tell you when you're at the apex.

I literally have five separate letters from the government detailing the five separate time the US government thru the DoD, Veterans Administration, and Treasury Dept has "lost" my social security number and linked file to hackers

Me too. My entire family was exposed in the DOD hack. My only hope is that our somewhat rare and hard to spell last name makes us unattractive targets.

My rough plan is to no borrow money anymore.
My parents had a nice visit from FEMA recently. Inspector showed up to look over their flooded house down here in Houston. Surprised the people who lived there (who weren't my parents). That and the fact that the house didn't flood tipped the inspector off that something might not be right. He was nice enough. But everyone else at FEMA were typical government assholes. General attitude of 'fuck you, not my problem'.

We're talking about government employees.
Whatever their compassion, whatever their interior deportment, would you *ever* expect them to think of the work-a-day chores of their jobs as "my problem"?

I get that Crid. It is why I don't want them running much of my life. But there are a lot of people my age who think the government can do everything and should.

Idiot politicians gonna idiot. The UN is adept at wasting money and raping the people they're supposed to protect. But maybe it'll work better in Chicago.
“The United Nations has a track record of protecting minority populations,” Boykin told Inc. before his meeting. “There was tribal warfare between the Tutsis and the Hutus in Africa, and they deployed peacekeeping troops there to help save those populations and reduce the bloodshed. We have to do something — black people in Chicago make up 30 percent of the population but 80 percent of those who are killed by gun violence.”
Asked how that might differ from sending in the National Guard, Boykin said, “The difference is, I’m not so sure that the National Guard is so used to peacekeeping and a peacekeeping role: The U.N. is trained in this.”

Fetishizing race turns people into "puppets" of their race -- "it leaves many very important matters beyond the scope of choice or action."
