i'm actually struck by how pete hegseth isn't just a cowardly man but a capital-c Coward. a guy who gets off on abusing and hurting people he thinks are weaker than him and then tries to run and hide when there might be consequences

Remember—Billionaire philanthropy is PR $6.25B is a lot of money. It’s also only 4.1% of the $152B Michael Dell has hoarded. If Dell paid the 37% tax rate on the wealthy he'd pay $56.25B—and still have nearly $100B, more than he'd ever need Taxation of billionaires > philanthropy from billionaires

I am just so completely fucking over the "everything is doom, if you don't immerse yourself in the doom 24/7 you are CAPITULATING" people. Their moral injury burnout is not my fucking problem (see also: bsky.app/profile/raha... )

who decided to call it Secret Santa when Nondisclosure Claus was right there

There are only two teams the Giants can play where I root for them. Tonight is one of those nights. Go NJ Giants!

Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.

This is one of the biggest problems with so-called "AI". EVERY branch of computer science and thought ever accomplished is now included as part of "AI". It's a gigantic hoax. Guess what? Computers, research and algos all existed before the current hoax.

Always love to see great talent using their platform for unabashed good.

Also, Hegseth is coming for Sen. Mark Kelly because he reminded troops that they have a duty not to commit crimes *like this one* Making an appropriately big deal out of this blunts that attack and demonstrates the need for what Kelly and company did.

Ordering no quarter, as Hegseth effectively did, isn't a newfangled modern war crime. It was understood as a crime as far back as the Revolutionary War. Washington threatened to do reprisals over it. The bad guy in 'The Patriot' is (very loosely) based off a British officer who was notorious for it.

So hear me out: A HUNTR/X Christmas song could be a generational hit.

To my fellow GenX: what do you think is the worst burn one GenX can use on another GenX? I'll go first... Okay Boomer.

47 years ago today, dozens of turkeys met their unfortunate demise in a Cincinnati parking lot.

It’s really not fully Thanksgiving without "WKRP in Cincinnati"’s “As God is my witness” clip. “…like SACKS OF WET CEMENT!" youtu.be/lf3mgmEdfwg?...

It's a holiday, time to break out the new shoes.

TIP: Anyone who posts wild speculation as something that is “almost certainly” the case right now is ~almost certainly~ someone you should not rely on in moments where news is breaking and a story is rapidly developing.

It was only a failure if you assume they ever had good intentions. If you assume they intended to destroy the federal government from within, they succeeded. We’ll be dealing with the results of this monumental breach of the federal government for many years to come.

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

Legend has it they are still stuck in the circle today.

"If you are a homeowner, the cons of burglary very likely outweigh the pros for you. If you are a burglar the opposite is true"

Today I heard a seone mispronounce charcuterie as shart-tudory and henceforth this is how I will be pronouncing it too.

My network is woven together with the stories of all the people impacted directly or indirectly by domestic & intimate partner violence, stalking & harassment. The survivors' strength & resilience are the threads that stitch together my story of the last decade. I am grateful for every single one.

This isn’t targeted at anyone in specific - I have had the conversation like 6 times this week, Americans - You need a work visa to work in another country, -even remote- unless they allow digital nomad You can’t just go to most countries on a tourist visa and start looking for a visa sponsor & job

Okay, hear me out. I would be willing to start wearing business attire to fly again if we could get the leg room we had back then to accompany it.

What if Dems ran on sacrificing James Carville's human rights?

I remember my first time in Houston I went to see the Enron building. Many of my college classes on fraud had sections on Enron and the history and legacies of the folks that ran that, that I had to close the loop and go touch the building. Where is the NVidia Building? Asking for a friend.

There are two types of people in the world. Those that have a written travel plan weeks, if not months in advance. & Those that pack at the last minute and figure it out when they get there. Invariably these two will meet, marry, and be the lifelong cause of travel stress for the other.

I hate when boomers try to generalize about what GenX liked.

There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.

Same goes for cyber people

Anyway. Hello.

Alethe Denis: The Art of Social Engineering

When the government is corrupt, regulatory fines are not intended to punish violations, they are intended to give political leaders a piece of the action.

lads i found ANOTHER Table of Impossible Summary Statistics in a "green economics" paper 🚩 Can you see the problem?

Everyone stop acting weird and shocked about MTG. She has been systematically distancing herself from the current GOP for months and months. She has a plan reform herself under a new image ON THE RIGHT that’s not part of a sinking ship. She’s not suddenly changing her tune! SHE’S AN OPPORTUNIST

Plot Twist: Most of them thought they were passing a resolution condemning Social Security.

I get these. I also get emails from people who tell me they taught themselves malware reversing and forensics with ChatGPT and they have discovered incredibly sophisticated malware on their phone that could only have been put there by a state actor. They send me their chat logs as "evidence."

i said to a friend it was a slow news day and then had to remind myself the president called for the execution of congress members and it’s just crazy how his blood lust has become routine

Family member: An older person needs to power cycle their cable box and TV but I don't know what the cables look like or how it is connected, and I am 300 miles away, any ideas? Me: Do they know how to throw a circuit breaker? FM: Yeah Me: Have the power cycle the room from the breaker panel.

Solid take.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

Kelly: "My family has suffered from political violence. My wife, Gabby, was nearly assassinated, shot in the head at a political event. Even the president -- 2 assassination attempts -- he should understand his words have significant weight and people react to things that he says."

A takeaway from reading @doublepulsar.com write up on the Capita Ransomware Incident is that SOCs need to engage internal counsel when setting response SLAs. Re: £14m (~$18m) Fine imposed by governing body. #infosec #dfir doublepulsar.com/what-organis...
