The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

What's your sign?

Belfast makers of Titanic: "It was fine when it left here"

"Life was better when I was unaware of all the awful things in the world"

I do not want the video. I will never watch the video. I usually won’t even give the video the effort of complaint. I just want to read the news story. Give me the text. This would be my Ted Talk but that would be text too.

The constant gambling ads on NFL broadcasts are so gross. I actually miss those commercials where Denis Leary impugned my manhood for not driving a truck.

How is "new business phone system" spam still a thing? Want to try and sell me a telegraph key or some pagers while you're at it? Maybe a big crank for starting my car?

Heading to my annual training refresh at the Board of Elections so I can be a poll worker in this year's mayoral election and next year's midterms. If you've got the time to spare, volunteer to work at your local polling place. Democracy only functions when citizens step up to help.

Never Cross a Picket Line. Not even once.

Hi @npr.org! We worked late tonight putting together this handy pocket guide! It doesn't address road design issues, but if we're going to educate road users, we should include drivers. It's the size of a folded business card. Print it, fold it, put it in your wallet!

Had a great conversation with David Johnson and Brandon Levene on The Job Security Podcast about what it's like to take years of security practitioner experience into the classroom. Thanks so much for having me! jobsecurity.buzzsprout.com/2523845/epis...

Can't remember where I first heard this tip, but the next time you make a grilled cheese put mayonnaise on the bread instead of butter. So crispy!

Personally I don't believe anything until Kash Patel denies it.

It's good, but this is still my favorite Metro ad.

Share your favorite black and white movie.

Prepping to teach a class on YARA this week and just rewatched this masterpiece, @pmelson.bsky.social excellent as always. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KU2T...

What I'm wearing to the Rapture.

Apparently my twelve year old daughter created a LinkedIn account and I really feel like I've failed as a role model.

I could probably arrange a visit to my 80 year old uncle's model airplane club if he wants to test this theory.

HALT! This is a laptop sticker checkpoint. Quote-post with a picture of your rig.

OhMyDebn 1.21.0 is now available with: - improved window tiling with more hotkeys - automatic theme support for vscode and eza - updated config for neovim and btop OhMyDebn is a debonair Debian + Cinnamon setup inspired by Omarchy!

What movie do you consider perfect?

How many names does your pet have? These guys have individual names, but I can't tell them apart so they're both generally called "cat".

If you're looking for something to do today, @pancakescon.com is live! There are two talk tracks, a CTF, villages, and a bunch of other shenanigans, all free and all streaming online. See you there!

Teen hackers aren’t villains-in-waiting, they’re untapped defenders. We can intercept talent early, show real career paths, and turn curiosity into cyber defense. My take on building ethical on-ramps for #cybersecurity www.forbes.com/councils/for...

All of these moguls and executives and elites are sitting on top of a dragon's hoard worth of "f-ck you" money and somehow can't muster the courage to say it when it counts.

haven't got any work done for an hour because I can't stop chuckling at my own intro: "Risk management is a lot like Warhammer 40K. Partly because it’s a nightmarish dystopia dominated by mutant cyborgs, but mainly because in order to play, you have to have a lot of expensive models"

Excited to be speaking at @bsidesnova.bsky.social next month on detection engineering with free tools! Come join me and learn about converting all that tasty threat intel into accurate, high-fidelity alerting rules.

Just saying, there IS a windows port of GVim.

Post a movie you like with a terrible Rotten Tomatoes score. 37% for Super Troopers is terrible, I'm going to have to write them a ticket meow.

Even Orwell wasn't cynical enough to think we'd pay extra for more monthly data on the telescreens.

Seems like nobody is more certain that they "know what universities are REALLY all about!" than people who never set foot on a campus.

It's like Truth Social, only with malfunctioning video. Instead of the PRC having all your data, Palantir gets it (which honestly seems somehow worse).

2015: “oh no, it’s the dystopian future where everyone is playing dumb hypnotic games on their little screen.” 2025: “The dumb hypnotic games are actually best-case scenario; everything else your little screen can do to you is worse.”

The modern Turing Test is trying to determine whether the author of a post is the cunning agent of a fiendishly clever disinformation campaign or just a plain old homegrown moron.

Had a great time talking with @jjx.therealjj.com and @drewcm.bsky.social about detection engineering, open source tools like @securityonion.bsky.social , and the Pyramid of Pain. Thanks for having me! packetpushers.net/podcasts/pac...

Every once in a while I think about how wild it is that running Linux on a laptop has gone from something that takes literally months of careful research ("Make sure the serial number starts with an F, not a B, or the wifi chipset won't be supported!") to "what's $400 on woot today?"

My teenage son has only ever known the Buffalo Bills as a dominant football team guaranteed to make the playoffs every year and he has no idea how anomalous that is.

One of the biggest changes in football over the ~25 years I've been watching it is how much more accurate kickers have gotten on field goal attempts. Used to be anything over 40 yards was "hold your breath" time.

i remain in awe that james cook has become this player. as remarkable if not more remarkable than josh’s development
