In a customer meeting and I just heard Cloudflare referred to as "a US-based bulletproof hosting provider". And technically, they are not wrong. 😂

I can't get over how the right-wing doesn't understand modern militaries, with the majority serving non-combat roles. You think the best IT security & logistics personnel spends two hours in the gym every day to look like the cast of 300? They're at furry conventions and model train shows.

I think history demonstrates that when you “remove woke” from your military, your military never wins any future battles.

USA Orders are back online! All of our graphic clothing can freely pass through the border duty and tariff free, just like before! Our whole catalogue is available once more to the United States. Thanks for your patience while we got things sorted! nomadcomplex.com

I don't think most Americans realize how much of a dick Pete Hoekstra has been to Canada.

In my public television special “The Story of Fascism in Europe” (www.ricksteves.com/fascism), we learn from Europeans whose families lived through fascism that a strong democracy requires vigilant and engaged citizens. We are all participants, we are all responsible, and freedom isn’t guaranteed.

Your fun Friday night history fact: it never ends well for fascists and their supporters. They never live happily ever after.

I'm not a fan of this timeline.

You almost certainly aren’t going to get out of the war crimes tribunal by producing a letter that you solicited because you were aware that the legality of your orders was questionable.

Being fully aware I’m living in a global hellscape but I still choose to be silly

Credit to Kimmel, he's a vindictive asshole and the exact correct person this should happen to because now he has nothing but incentives to be meaner, which is a net good for society.

Here's the clip

Y'all talking about Sneakers got me to write a thing about that movie and how amazingly well it holds up. (Also, I couldn't resist the chance to get a little more value out of the notes I took at Black Hat 2018.)

An excerpt from Randi Weingarten’s new book, “Why Fascists Fear Teachers,” reveals why Trump and the far right are demeaning teachers, slashing school funding, and rewriting history. 📕 www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

I finally got my updated covid-19 booster this afternoon so I’m going to be spending all day tomorrow on the couch.

Visiting the Stasi Museum in 2018 and seeing the evidence of East Germany's invasive domestic surveillance helped me realize why Germany has such a stricter attitude about privacy than the rest of Europe. But coming there from the United States in 2025 left me with new and uncomfortable thoughts.

I know my math skills are lacking but doesn't $5.2B divided by 4,151 contractors come out to $1.25M per contractor? www.theregister.com//2025/09/08/...

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

"I can't believe Brazil of all places managed to do this while the US couldn't" My brother in Christ, what do you mean by "of all places"? We have public healthcare, actual vaccination policies and advanced electronic voting. Your prejudice against South Americans is showing

“Bread and Circuses” I can’t afford the bread and the circus cannot ship to my country

BREAKING: Susan Monarez, fired CDC director, just launched a broadside against RFK Jr. “Once trusted experts are removed and advisory bodies are stacked, the results are predetermined. That isn’t reform. It is sabotage.” Kennedy testifies at 10. I’ll be in the room. www.wsj.com/opinion/robe...

a big fuck you to whomever at synology decided to include the synology ai console as a dependency for the synology office app.

I’m not British but **every** Brit I’ve met IRL has told me it’s a red flag whenever someone worships the Union Jack like Americans worship the US flag.

More or less universally a country seeking to limit foreigners studying in that country is a sign of a society, culture, great power in severe decline.

Was in an otter mood.

Please be gentle. I have had a terrible case of mush-brain for about 8 months.

I looked through the Bartz v. Anthropic PBC LibDem dataset and I found several of the academic journal papers I authored listed. I had not realized that they used *my* academic work for training. 🤔

imagine being so maniacally racist that you side with the fire over the firefighter

I'm pleasantly surprised that Grand Juries are actually fulfilling their role in the current situation.

Always remember... #ProTipTuesday

Dems' Messenger-in-Chief, that's for sure

Attention USA costumers, Please read. If you have any questions let us know, we are here to help.

I wonder if blue states can pass civil liability laws so all federalized officers/troops operating in their states are subject to massive fines ($5M+/instance) if they do not identify themselves or if they cause injury to any persons in the state.

Just a friendly reminder if a candidate throws a group under the bus because it's politically convenient for him, he will do that to you. It means he has no loyalties.

You CANNOT concede points to people for whom the goalposts continually move.

I’m getting tired of the random DMs from bot and scam accounts. At least the block button is easy to use.

This should seem obvious tbh How many decades have we told these old folks to pass the fucking torch And this is both Pelosi and Bernie Train your replacements and move on to retirement

Based on firsthand knowledge, there are a number of hedge funds and trading desks with their “secret sauce” contained in a single excel workbook. I can’t wait to see copilot completely fuck up their business.

As a mortality researcher, I haven’t generally paid a lot of attention to people my own age (elder Millennial here). That’s, unfortunately, changing. (With @astokespop.bsky.social and Jacob Bor)

Mischievous thought of the day... I wonder what would happen if DC enacted a 900% non-resident tax on food and hotels on all non-DMV government officials?
