Are You Ticklish? :3

make your title 'lurker' and your icon a fucking cheese i don't care. just look like a real person thanks 👍

I put this in the comments already, but just to be clear I'm hoping to have this effective by tomorrow. I think I should bite the bullet and start doing this quickly because the last three "followers" I got I'm pretty sure are spam bots. I don't want things to get out of hand and end up having over 100 "followers" that are bots.

If I want real people followers then I'm going to work for it, dangit!

The sweet boy doesn't know what's coming, yet he recovers so fast when it does!

Okay, VEEERY moot point, but Monty trying to act like the reasonable one and trying to get Foxy to listen to them by repeating his name WHILE SMACKING HIM IN THE FACE (with a punch sound effect EVERY TIME!) back and forth is freaking hilarious to me. The juxtaposition is (chef's kiss) perfect.

At least Foxy didn't seem to feel it, if he did it just made him angrier. Him ripping Monty a new one was so great.

New Things to Beware on the Internet

On May 3rd, Google released 8 new top-level domains (TLDs) -- these are new values like .com, .org, .biz, domain names. These new TLDs were made available for public registration via any domain registrar on May 10th.

Usually, this should be a cool info, move on with your life and largely ignore it moment.

Except a couple of these new domain names are common file type extensions: ".zip" and ".mov".

This means typing out a file name could resolve into a link that takes you to one of these new URLs, whether it's in an email, on your tumblr blog post, a tweet, or in file explorer on your desktop.

What was previously plain text could now resolve as link and go to a malicious website where people are expecting to go to a file and therefore download malware without realizing it.

Folk monitoring these new domain registrations are already seeing some clearly malicious actors registering and setting this up. Some are squatting the domain names trying to point out what a bad idea this was. Some already trying to steal your login in credentials and personal info.

This is what we're seeing only 12 days into the domains being available. Only 5 days being publicly available.

What can you do? For now, be very careful where you type in .zip or .mov, watch what website URLs you're on, don't enable automatic downloads, be very careful when visiting any site on these new domains, and do not type in file names without spaces or other interrupters.

I'm seeing security officers for companies talking about wholesale blocking .zip and .mov domains from within the company's internet, and that's probably wise.

Be cautious out there.

Sooo... how do you guys like my new avatar? It's not exactly dark and mystical like I'd like it to be, but then again neither was my old avatar. I honestly had no inspiration with that one and decided I just wanted something pretty. XD

Credit where credit is due, this is from a game coming out next year called "Little Kitty, Big City". The trailer for the game itself is hilariously adorable, and there's a free demo on Steam and I just... get it. Get it. Get the demo. Seriously. Go get it. Now. I SAID NOW.

Also, no I'm not sponsored by the developers or anything (do people even get sponsored on Tumbr?). I just found someone playing this game and I'm in love with the demo. I've played it about four times over the past three days, and I played all the way through each time.

I can bring up a link to the video, but I'd like to ask the creator of the video if she's okay with it before I do anything. Call me overly cautious, but... yeah, I'm overly cautious with everything. XD
