Jesters, comedians, & fools. They mock excess, expose vanity, & have always held a mirror to the arrogance of the crown. Through laughter, they say what we cannot. When power grows too absolute, when the funny men are silenced, then only one figure remains to confront it is.. Charles III. #WTF.

Damn the man, save the Empire. #RexManningDay

Bluesky has been awful over the past three days. One bad behavior among many has been putting a very young Black woman living with Tourette's Tiktok in hundreds of Black folks' mentions, saying we must educate ourselves... (This is one of many reasons why Blacksky is essential within this space.)

I’m cross posting here, but if You’re making deep fakes of people, and you don’t have consent, then I’m going to ask what is wrong with you. @gabsmashh.bsky.social

This sounds like something I’d read! *boosting the signal*

Have you or someone you know been harassed, stalked, or verbally abused by someone who is clearly using ChatGPT or a similar bot to compose their messages? Have you gotten the sense that the LLM is enabling their threatening behavior? Looking to hear from you — email me at [email protected]

Happy Zero Cool Day!

In 2004 I was living in Dubai, and grabbing a pint or 3 with my mates at a pub named scarlets. As I’m at the bar ordering a round, Jack Black shows up, we chatted for 5 minutes, I tried to buy him a beer, and get him to come hang with me and the crew. He declined. 10/10 a super nice chap.

About 12 months ago I was introduced to #stoicism thanks to a friend who introduced me to @ryan-holiday.bsky.social . My first daily stoic podcast introduced me to the concept that every situation has 2 handles. This was profound, & overtime has changed how I handle every situation. Thanks Ryan!

This seems pretty obvious… but: 1. Support people that fight for other people’s rights. 2. Support people that fight for people in less than desirable positions. 3. Support people that care. 4. Support Sex Work.

“You can’t kill your way to peace.” — @lisaforte.bsky.social It really can’t be summed up better than this.

Each year, on the 25th of May, a group of survivors of the uprising gathers at Small Gods' Cemetery to honor the casualties with lilacs and, affectionately, one hard-boiled egg...

In today’s conversation with IT, dear Dan, given political concerns we need to consider a private cloud option. Do you have any high level requirements before we start the procurement process. Me: Yes. The vendor should not support virtual machines, everything should be in a container… IT…

Super excited that @anton1chuvakin.bsky.social followed me. I feel like Google was a tad late to the cloud party, but honestly 10/10, I feel their philosophy and mine are 100% aligned. 10/10 if you tell me your solution needs more than a container in the cloud then I’m going to fight you.

I’m in need of some new inputs. #IndieComics what should I be reading right now? I don’t have a preferred genre, give me “werewolves, zombies, vampires, steampunk” Sexual orientation is not an issue, I love good art and plot lines. What am I missing ?

As a Star Wars fan, I want to tell you that this is the way. As a fellow human I want to tell you that is not the way, it is entirely necessary.

Rumor has it that @alethe.bsky.social might be keynoting @layer8conference.com this year. I want to be perfectly clear: do not give this woman your social security number. The conference does not require that this year.

Shining light into dark places is exactly what needed here.

This is entirely worth your time and investment! @lyndondraws.bsky.social work is incredibly.

if there’s someone in your life that is killing it / making a significant difference / amazing then please contribute to this thread. Your friends deserve this.

If you love model trains, if you’re obsessed with land marks, the intricacies of the layout, the need for all the trees to be of the same type (deciduous vs coniferous), that the carriages & engine are period specific Etc etc. Then you might be… a person I 100% want to work with. #ShowMeYourTrainSet

A really easy way to check yourself is to ask “is this something Morgoth would do?” and if the answer is yes, don’t do it!

Trans Rights are Human Rights, and they belong with us. #TransDayOfVisibility

Dear world, if one man is hell bent on ruining the world economy, cut him out. Cut trading with America out. Buy and sell stuff elsewhere. This isn’t impossible.

@lockdownyourlife.com I missed your training session today. I’m on mission at the moment, and the time frames didn’t align. I’ll pay for another session and join some time in the very near future.

@ellopunk.bsky.social I’m not sure if you’re still collecting The Empyrean Series limited / fun / different editions. I saw this today and thought of you. If you want to add this to your collection then let me know.

The world has plenty of jerks, the Devil has too many advocates. Choose kindness with intentionality. It's life-changing. Keep at it for long enough and it begins to feel selfish to be honest; I get so much back from it. #MakeKindnessNormal

When you expose stuff, you’ve found stuff, and then they hate you.

Today’s Risky Biz does not pull any punches. news.risky.biz/outside-amer...

There are some people out there that are making a real difference. I believe that @lockdownyourlife.com is one of them. I have. A monthly contribution because of this.

@thedarktangent.defcon.social.ap.brid.gy ‘s response to this whole debacle has been text book perfect. #Defcon listened & believed the victims, they protected them as best they could from Chris, & when challenged they brought the receipts.

In the ‘let’s get political’ episode of talkin about infosec news. @strandjs.bsky.social delivers a master class in dodging mine fields, putting your feelings aside, and focusing on people just being nice to each other. It really doesn’t get better than this. pca.st/episode/1a6f...

@lockdownyourlife.com next month I’m going to start planning for my October security awareness programme. One of the themes on the list this year is privacy. If we go with privacy I’d like to contract your services for a presentation. If this is in your wheelhouse then let me know, & I’ll PM you.

Incase you were wondering what “Fan Girling” looks like, this is it. @k8em0.bsky.social now follows me. 10/10 her contributions to pentesting are without question. If you’re a bug bounty / ext. pentester then there’s a pretty large chance you’re stand on the shoulders of giants.

I’ve spent the majority of my infosec career on the operations side of the house. Honestly I looked down on the GRC side of Infosec. After many years & many sleepless nights, I’ve realised that GRC provided the guardrails & metrics that I needed. I’m sorry GRC peeps, your work valid and important.

Today is a good day to tell someone (not me) how much you appreciate them being in your life. Tag them below or just tell me you did it; let's show some community support. We're going to have to rely on each other to make it through this. #MakeKindnessNormal

@lockdownyourlife.com is moving the needle, and trying making things better for a part of the community that is vulnerable, & wrapped in a blanket of fear and shame. Her work is needed more now than ever. Please consider supporting if you can. I do.

I don’t know @kindasortamaebe.bsky.social (but I do follow her on Bsky) or Chelsea, & I contribute monthly. I also contribute to 3 other Gofundme’s for gender re-assignment. Being comfortable in your own skin should be a basic human right. If you can support, then please consider this.

@darkhorse.com really sad to see the DHD close, best of luck with whatever comes next. You’ll be sorely missed.

To be clear there is nothing civil, about rights. They exist because people believed, loved, died and bled for them. Watching a democratic country whole sale strip them is awful to watch from the side lines.

I too am executed and confused to hear about people promoting the NetBEUI protocol.

I present to you Voldemort- Peppermint infused Malört. 10/10 please give to your worst enemy.

Today I had an IR incident, and needed to deal with containers. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. At one point I knew nothing about them, they were super alien. Today they’re not, and that’s thanks to @acloudguru.bsky.social and specifically @ellopunk.bsky.social . #shouders #giants

BREAKING NEWS: multiple sources have confirmed that the person reading this is worthy of love

Politics aside, this post shows a whole lot of disrespect for sex workers. They are not a punching bag, and deserve better than this.

I was a little late to the Mandy the Monster Hunter comics, however I’ve never been disappointed. These comics are worth your time and money.
