* Somebody (suspected to be North Korea or China) has hacked nuclear reactors in south Korea. They have released documents to prove they have access and there is a threat of mayhem and more releases if they do not shut three reactors down by Christmas.
* The entire North Korean Internet went down. It is believed to be a denial of service cyber attack, possibly intended to let them know their recent assumed cyber attacks were not okay. The North korean internet is run from a single server in China and serves as an intranet for high level north Korean officials, rather than being part of the world wide web.

* As it turns out, this year I am much less resentful of Christians as the Christmas stuff has been way less aggressive and obnoxious. I wasn't subjected to bad 20th century Christmas songs very often. Only a couple of the commercials were irritating instead of it being a constant barrage of off key merchandise themed Christmas songs. Really, it was only the librarians that got up my nose this time with there Santa episode.
The thing is, I do like the lights, etc.. It's the in your faceness of the made up "War on christmas propaganda, " the non-inclusive shit in public settings, and the constant barrage of bad Christmas pop that make me so hostile.
* So Sunday I was running a challenge on Game of Bones. One of the key participants got sick halfway through, so we tried it again and failed today. Monday, my event fell through due to a different key participant being ill. I ended up spending most of four hours waiting in lines, rescued a stranded middle aged lesbian couple, and finally got real sleep, hence my lack of availability.
