It continues to be the case that there's a surprising intersection between the technology community and furries.

Depending on your age there was Roxy, Maid Marion, Gadget, and probably another dozen anthropomorphic cartoon animal women who were friendly, approachable, and generally built as the kind of woman that a shy nerdy kid would like. It's not that surprising that some portion of folks who like computers more than they like people also like anthropomorphized animals better than they like people.

The instant you decided to spell Wendsday as Wednesday it was already too late.

This is so insane, I went full circle to "there's no way these guys are that stupid, they must actually be on to something!"

Cat: A nuclear lab isn't even in the right field to make human-animal hybrids.

Worthless trolls. They're not hacktivists if they're leaking innocent government employees' personal information for the most cringeworthy demands possible. I've had to deal with data breach shit like this in the health industry.

Are these dipshits so self-deluded that they really believe they're some sort of activists? I thought Anonymous was cringeworthy enough... At least they aren't such pricks.

I mean of anything this just begs to the fact that our federal NetSec is about as useful as a "do not enter" sign on an unlocked door.
