Most Americans have no idea this much of their privacy is gone. A whole bunch of folks will tell you there’s nothing they can do about it and shrug. But we can absolutely claw back our rights and we should at least try, even if that means state by state. (CA, CO, IL, NY for examples) #privacy

Because medical device manufacturers do not care one whit about security — they just bolt on a couple options at the end of the dev cycle and call it good enough.

So a really good vish right now would be a text saying you’ve been rebooked on your upcoming flight … that probably has a higher failure rate (I.e. they click the link) than just about anything.

Red Sox will always be my first team, but as a recent transplant to LA I’m happy for Dave Roberts & Mookie Betts and a Dodgers win! THAT was an amazing game.

Holy crap that was amazing!!! #dodgers

Blue Jays gloves have been insane so far. Scherzer is slowing down though — last inning for him maybe?

A lovely lunch spot

So, 4 work days until Win10 goes over the rainbow bridge. How are we noting the occasion? I was thinking cookies for my team.

A perfect loaf, #caturday

Asked my kid if he wanted to watch a Redford movie and he looked at his catalog of work and said, “I heard good things about Sneakers .” Instant yes! from me

A groundbreaking paper published @nature.com today—the first large health language model—predicts >1,000 diseases for a person and when. Implications here: erictopol.substack.com/p/dawn-of-a-...

This is a really important article on privacy and how are data is being aggregated in new and non-transparent ways. Highly recommend a read. #giftarticle www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Here’s to #caturday

Holy cow these seats are good

Will absolutely be digging into this …

Hey DC, waving from Downtown Los Angeles

Please enjoy this gift article which tours the completely refurbed Waldorf Astoria Hotel. It is stunning … www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

@chrislhayes.bsky.social been reading The Siren’s Call and got to the part where the early social media days truly was a moment of Average Joe access to find attention and build persuasion to whatever your cause or pitch was — it felt revolutionary, a way to level the playing field 1/2

NY Gov. Mario Cuomo was going to run for President. He chose not to run & an upstart out of Arkansas came out of nowhere to win. When Obama won, no one thought he had an iota of a chance, but he tapped that newfangled social media thing, energized dormant voting blocks and became president. 1/2

this guy! #LA

This is a really important consideration — and I’d like to point out Saudi Arabia’s bid to open AI data centers focused on Arabic LLMs. They have an interesting program worth watching. The A.I. Race Is Splitting the World Into Haves and Have-Nots www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

This place in Pasadena, Pie & Burger, is amazing. The rhubarb pie was one of the best I ever had.

@darthbluesky.bsky.social Olive checking in to see if you need a boop or your face licked.

An educated guess here, but it feels like the big consulting firms are doing their version of this with analysis & report creation and the value of their output is falling precipitously.

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? Basic cyber hygiene like password length of a minimum of 12 characters and using MFA will save you from 95% of the crap that is out there.

I would like to congratulate myself for stumbling upon an adopt don’t shop puppy adoption event today and I left — without a dog. It was close though …

My own journey the last couple of years has focused more and more on insider threat, particularly with 3rd party vendors, but really everywhere …

CybersecurityHQ did an excellent write up on the Coinbase hack and that HUMINT is just too easy … this paragraph in particular stood out. If someone knows if he’s on Bluesky, can you please tag him? I looked but didn’t see him. Thanks. #infosec #cybersecurity

You can look up the CAIDP work here — great resource btw, highly recommend www.caidp.org/reports/aidv...

I randomly know a good deal about the Saudi Arabia AI push because they were the country team I was placed on when I was a researcher for CAIDP. Saudi Arabia is competing in the Gulf Stated for AI dominance in the region, particularly around the Arabic language. They have been planning this 1/2

The workaround to this is to beef up privacy rights, but still …

The tariffs are just starting to hit stores. I was with a friend at a big box outlet store for a well-known chain of furniture, appliances, and kitchen gear. Even though the outlet store was selling items that were returned and pre-tariff, they were raising $$ based on “MSRP” he said. 1/2

Hear me out: Olivia Coleman as the next Dr. Who …

The thing about Jesuits is they are curious and humane, their quest for knowledge is aligned with serving their flocks. They love science! Pope Francis was our first Jesuit Pope and he really made a difference, he tried to move Catholics into compassion and humanity and for that I thank him.

A little trinket box, oxide wash always makes me nervous, we’ll see how it turns out …

No cheating, your last saved celebrity pic is your therapist. Ha! Yes, I’ll take straight talk sprinkled with sarcasm please …

Teaching the kiln cookie class in 2 weeks, and I want to make a big impression. - Do you have any stories/pics of glaze-running disasters? - Any near-misses (preferably saved by a cookie)? - Tips and tricks? - Preferred shapes / clays? - Kiln wash or no? please repost! #pottersofBlueSky

I’ve been getting a lot of questions about this as my family’s go-to cyber person. This is a good explainer.

This is an excellent example of the privacy right disparities within the US. In California, you have a chance to delete data — other states, like mine in MA — probably not. My master’s final thesis was how my privacy rights changed while I drove from Boston to NYC. oag.ca.gov/news/press-r...

And all that DNA data will be for sale …

This is great! Mediterranean diet wins again. @wymer.bsky.social

When your husband is running errands so you tell him we’re low on Tums … but he goes to BJs. 😳

So I can find this tomorrow to try the recipe …

Meanwhile, I had to honor my backyard neighbors with a little vessel

OMG SEVERANCE!!!!!!!!!!!

You can not give a Chatbot any leeway when you’re designing one. Give it an inch and it will take a mile! Constrain, constrain, constrain. Also, pentesting chatbots are fun (I use the term pentesting *very* loosely here).

My dog, got treats here once and now always wants to walk this way and the owner is buttering up the whole neighborhood! heh #dogsofbluesky
