(engage old man mode) A large part of me being employable stems from hours (and hours) of reading text files during my teens/early twenties. So sad to see what the Internet ended up becoming 😕

Either you want to make an issue of it and hammer Republicans for enabling it or you don’t. If you do, you force the vote on doing something about it. You can’t denounce the other party for refusing to do something you’re afraid to even try yourself.

Shocking I tell ya www.9news.com/article/news...

Jared Polis is a coward who capitulates to MAGA bullies. He is unfit to lead in this moment, is a disgrace to Colorado and the country, and should resign. www.npr.org/2026/05/15/n...

Will just reiterate that in the many years I covered Polis closely, he never showed particular interest in the topic of over-sentencing, nor in criminal justice reform generally. This decision would read a lot differently if Polis had any sort of record as an advocate for clemency.

Imagine if you will, a world where elected officials simply do their fucking job.

This clemency grant to Tina Peters is an affront to our democracy, the people of Colorado, and election officials across the country. The Governor’s actions today will validate and embolden the election denial movement, and leave a dark, dangerous imprint on American democracy for years to come.

Based on how many god damn Wyoming license plates I see here in Colorado, maybe people just don't want to live in Wyoming? 🤷

There are people still living who fought — and watched their compatriots be murdered — for the passage of this act and to attempt to democratize America. To see it completed felled in the span of their OWN lifetime is just absolutely devastating.

It’s been >5 months since the Epstein Files Transparency Act was signed into law. The DOJ has yet to bring forward any new charges against any individual as millions of files are still (illegally) undisclosed. The rules are different for billionaires than for the rest of us.

This is a first for me. CO Rep. Lauren Boebert's financial disclosure for 2024 discloses nothing. No book royalties, no bank accounts, no home mortgage. (And she filed this late and had to pay a fine.) #copolitics

A young member of the Satanic Temple was granted a religious accommodation from the Elizabeth School District, arguing that the district’s digital hall pass system conflicts with her beliefs. https://www.westword.com/news/satanist-student-religious-accommodation-colorado-school-40873283/

Attending NaClCON (naclcon.com) in May/June? Even if not attending... do you have any -old- neat hacker/phreaker swag you can donate? During the closing ceremony, I am looking to do quick live-auction bidding for charity for them! This is my donation to the cause!

on the 50th anniversary of the release of The Boys Are Back in Town I'm morally obligated to share my favorite story of all time

NIST makes it official and basically gives up on enriching CVEs: www.nist.gov/news-events/... Will only enrich: -KEV listed bugs -bugs in software used by the US govt -bugs in critical software (see list here/PDF: www.nist.gov/system/files...)

HOW DO YOU HAVE A MISUNDERSTANDING OVER A DIPLOMATIC AGREEMENT? HOW DO BOTH SIDES NOT AGREE TO TERMS WRITTEN ON THE SAME PIECE OF PAPER? I'M LOSING MY MIND.

🍻

In collaboration with a couple of other leaders in the industry we are releasing securitytitles.com - It's an attempt to provide transparency about role levels, expectations and (just for the US market currently, salary ranges). For leaders writing JDs and candidates alike.

We are simply not going to get free of this until our political class accepts the fact that the entire GOP led us here and must be destroyed.

Never thought the day would come when I would agree with Iranian state TV. Iranian state TV claimed Trump had accepted Iran's terms for ending the war, describing it as a "humiliating retreat" by the U.S. president.

so, like, they’re not someone to point to and be like “wow even they say this” because that implies they have an intention rooted in civility and not their income streams

You could not be more studiously apolitical and inoffensive than NASA comms, but the contrast becomes unavoidable when the administration in power is built on an aesthetic of screaming "fuck you!" all the time.

After getting 0 campaign emails from Gabe Evans over the last 6 months, his campaign has started cranking them out recently and has now sent 5 in a month. This most recent was like a 20 page story on how much he has helped us 🙄. Maybe the polling isn't going his way these days?

WTF...

❗️In March 2026, the Russian army made no territorial gains in Ukraine for the first time in more than two and a half years. This may be linked to Ukraine’s actions in the southeast. Read more 👀 theukrainianreview.info/for-the-firs...
