Appreciated @hacks4pancakes.com giving a refresher on how tough the job market is right now, what we can all do to work for a healthier industry (avoiding the demographics we had in the 90s). #bsidesmelb2026 #BsidesMelbourne

Everyone involved in posting this should be fired and everyone in the chain of command whose office is subject to impeachment, including the president, should be impeached. Just for this. I am not kidding in the least, and Democrats who let this go by without comment are putting us all in danger.

My favorite current embarrassment by my countrymen is that people don't know that hantavirus existed when that's as much of a household safety thing as knowing what salmonella is. I assume they also eat uncooked chicken.

Happy Mother’s Day to people who believe motherhood should be a choice and not a punishment.

That's a yes.

Sharyl Attkisson thought Obama hacked her computer when the delete key got stuck. I’m not kidding. Link below. She is incredibly stupid. I’ve followed her “work” for over decade because she was also one of the few media people who took the antivax movement’s most crank theories seriously.

I have to deal with so many people already that all changed their email signatures to "Dept of War" and say it out loud with that weird gleam in their eyes. I roll my eyes so hard every time.

One of my mentees today wanted help getting a "department of war! ✨✨🇺🇸" position and was super excited about it and I barely made it through with credulity and manners. Like, they signed up with me.

Zelensky has issued a presidential decree “allowing” Russia to hold its annual Victory Day parade in Moscow. The decree provides exact coordinates of the Red Square that shall be excluded from the list of Ukrainian strike targets. Phenomenal power play.

Thankfully, polys are such pseudoscience I’ve beaten one drunk in front of the def con crowd.

oh my god it literally is just gamergate shit. fucking degenerates www.thegamer.com/slay-the-spi...

I can't stop thinking about the redistricting in TN. My cousin, who practically lived as my only brother for years after his parents passed away, died indigent in TN. I had to dig his belongings out of insects and food waste and pay for his cremation. He was 38. There were no mental support services

I take Lexapro. I have taken Lexapro for over two decades. The times that I have discontinued taking Lexapro have ended very badly for me. RFKJ is trying to kill millions of Americans like me. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/04/s...

Remember, Elon still says X is going to be a bank where you can put your money.

It finally happened, I interviewed a candidate who would not look at me the entire interview, and answered my questions directly to my male colleague. Who isn't a DFIR person.

I let the Chinese alt Tom shop dress me

I fully realise Singapore legalised being gay only three years ago, and I still feel safer here every time I visit than large swathes of America. My trans friend hasn't been harassed, once. We spent the evening lesbian bar hopping. Americans get lied to, so dismally.

My coworkers have found it's a fun game to demand the spiciest Asian foods in Singapore for me and watch me eat them impassively so that's where we're at.

Am I understanding this correctly? The President, the Vice-President, the Speaker of the House AND the Secretary of Stare were all at the White House Correspondent's Dinner together and security was so laxed that a guy ran through security with a long gun? I call bullshit.

man just judging by the general reaction here tonight I think it’s pretty safe to say the political situation in this country has crossed a very interesting event horizon lol

Nah, people around the world asked a specific question about the shooting, got told “no,” and then stopped caring

This time we will all day, DUH! 😉

In another thread we're laughing about the anime Naruto run.

Okay. Let's try this again a year and a half later. Just because it's one of the most frustrating social media moments in my life. Can I say, "that looked kinda staged" this time without being told to wait for official investigation and watch my tone?

When the WiFi goes out on Qantas they do the most Australian thing ever and just keep bringing the drink cart around with hard liquor every 15 minutes.

Goes to show how much our environment affects our bodies.

Curious if this is the result of different management, not having to deal with 'USA' stuff directly, combination of the two..?

"Food" poisoning? USA, where "food" is poison because profit uber-alles

One year in Australia and my chronic thyroid disease has resolved itself and my endocrinologist has successfully pulled me off medication.

Daily reminder that there are tons of lovely, brilliant, kind Jewish people in the world who aren't Zionist - the two things have next to nothing to do with one another - and that even as a simple nerd I can make an effort to boycott and refuse to amplify Israeli cybersecurity software and tools.

It is almost impossible to tell the disinfo from the incompetence from the dementia

Close enough that I’m glad my wife is about to board a flight to South America, while I remain within the DC blast zone. This is not done.

October '62 close.

So exactly how close was Trump to starting a nuclear war on Saturday?

Exclusive: Sweden has intelligence indicating Russia's systematically manipulating data to fool Ukraine’s western allies into believing its economy has withstood the strain of its war spending & western sanctions, Thomas Nilsson, head of Sweden Military Intelligence, told me & @maxseddon.bsky.social

That Palantir would do this is both shocking—not because this is some weird heel turn, but because it is a fully mask-off moment for tech bro fascisti—and also the least surprising thing from a company that has always been creepy as fuck.

I don’t know what you’re talking about. This is a mandatory return to office machine

Maximum shareholder profits

Ya know, I wasn't much of a conspiracy theorist until people started doing ludicrously stupid, cartoonishly evil conspiracies. But a major explosion at any refinery this specific month is sus af.

We should absolutely let him cook. This is the funniest thing someone in power has done for years and no one's getting harmed but Vance

The thing about AI replacing analysts that I think is implicit to a lot of people who understand AI, but not at all clear to the people doing layoffs is this: adversaries use AI for automation and as a force multiplier too. Humans are the deciding difference in who wins, beyond equal automation.

Good to see good sense being spoken about this

NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health. 'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:

NEW: Booking says hackers accessed customers’ personal data, including names, emails, physical addresses, phone numbers, and booking details. The company refused to say how many customers' were affected by this incident.

I have built a very unofficial penetration testing module for D&D 5e (Keys from the Golden Vault theme) and if anyone wants it please DM me, and I will send it to you!

Shouldn't have taken this long for the market to turn on Palantir

60 Minutes Australia has always had some interesting DPRK coverage. This one on fake IT workers is really good. They actually catch a few on the line and talk to them. youtu.be/kIcw6vpmAHI?si=qWDQX... I'd encourage companies build tabletops around this insider scenario.

I expect it's moreso that the implication of them wanting updated details for all the reservists is that they might be preparing to call them up.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist or anything ,but this was certainly a choice of a day for DFAS to frantically email all retired reservists and ask us to update our addresses and contact info and tell our friends to, too. I'd rather not get my pension right now tbh.
