Love it when a scammer commits to a bit.

Busted a Red Teamer sneaking into the building without proper escort.

My neighbors are pre-gaming for #RSAC

Just a reminder: If your favorite all American lifestyle brand is having a tariff sale… well… I have news for you.

For Susan? SFO? Which Airline?

Yeah LLMs are cool, I guess. But, have you tried carbs?

Got an FDA recall notice from one of the kids docs about a med they take. Tried searching the FDA website for more details. Nothing. Found it on the U.K. equivalent. It’s cool I’m sure whatever we save by randomly cutting the federal workforce is worth kids ingesting a few carcinogens… Right?

Have you thanked coffee today?

Words to live by.

Post a picture you took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline

👋 Uh, Hi new people. Welcome. I’m guessing I ended up on someone’s starter pack list. Maybe I should use social media again?

I’m thinking about it

Ah, the tried and true “When advertisers abandon you due to your toxic brand, just start over with an entirely unknown and potentially far more toxic brand” strategy

A great thread. I’d add, as a practical observation: Very few organizations understand how to think about Security as part of their business; Even less understand Trust and Safety. A lack of proactive T&S strategy is unacceptable, but honestly unsurprising.

like parker, i do not understand the thinking that not wanting to see utter shit opinions is somehow being in a bubble how fuckin patronizing to believe we can not find and listen to varied opinions on subjects both important and trivial to us without having some right wing dipshits weighing in

Me, every time someone brings up the All-In podcast:

Hey, asking for a friend, but is the devil running a bootcamp on eBPF and audit / compliance automation for high-scale k8s environments?

I would like BlueSky invite transparency and graph based blocking. When more of the bad place ends up here, I want to know who invited them, so I can block that entire tree of poison.

Me: I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Cashier: Sir, again, American Girl dolls are not in anyway sentient.

Building my vinyl collection. What’s one record you recommend everyone have a copy of?

Twitter HR: You will not discuss anything you did at Twitter at all, in perpetuity, throughout the universe. Big Head: I didn't really do anything at Twitter, so... Twitter HR: Good. You're getting the hang of it already.
