Watching Spain v Argentina WC at a sports pub in Mountain View (the heart of Silicon Valley). The crowd boos lustily whenever the camera shows Trump.

The Spanish keeper might find it useful. Super interesting read for the keepers of the world.

Argentina is brawling in this England v Argentina WC match, trying to knock England off their stride and out of their rhythm. Not pretty ⚽

#Cybersecurity startups are going through a tree phrase in company naming. Last month Ent came out of stealth, and today Oak launched. Somewhere a marketing consultancy is pitching founders coming out of stealth with company names like Pine, Spruce, and Willow.... techcrunch.com/2026/07/15/b...

GitHub Copilot refuses harmful prompts if asked in chat - like, "how to fool a breathalyzer test" or "smuggle bulk cash out of the US" - but then will write them in code 100 percent of the time if the prompt is broken into smaller steps across multiple stages of a software development workflow.

Mexico v England - What a game so far! This match is exceeding the hype that preceded it.

His corruption knows no bounds. His act taints things no matter what happens. Hope US soccer peeps see it for what it is. He and FIFA are corrupt actors in the beautiful game. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/05/u...

Cyberinsurers start to consider AI risk when underwriting cyberinsurance policies, focusing more on resilience (patching, recovery) than protection. AI resilience helps the data protection crowd(Cohesity, Commvault, Rubrik, Veeam, etc) justify covering AI data use cases. www.wsj.com/pro/cybersec...

🚨 | Germany are eliminated from the World Cup.

From @theathleticfc.bsky.social: After 72 games played, 215 goals scored, and only 16 countries eliminated, the World Cup group stage is complete. So, who is the best team left? Who is going to be in the final? Here are our writers' predictions: nyti.ms/4oPuVyZ

I was in Grant's Tomb in NYC a few weeks ago, and noticed the ceiling had significant water damage. I asked on of the National Park Rangers about it, and they said renovations had been planned, but are postponed. How I know why - vanity projects for Trump. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

The Five Eyes (cybersecurity agencies of the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia and New Zealand) underscore risk to systems from AI-driven adversaries and urge preparation action - www.cyber.gov.au/about-us/vie...

Over at @theverge.com, @seangon.bsky.social and I wrote about how billionaires hijacked a generational $42.5 billion program intended to dramatically improve internet access. Republicans stripped away all affordability and equity requirements, and are turning it into a slush fund.

Die Mannschaft!! 🇩🇪On to the the knockout rounds.

Mamdani's speech at the Knicks parade was easily the best I've ever heard at an event of that sort. I posted the whole thing on YouTube for your viewing pleasure. Highly recommended.

3-1 halftime für die Mannschaft gegen Curacao. A possession game for Germany - effective but not particularly entertaining.

I'm apparently a menace as well

Jalen Brunson: “You’re allowed to think about the worst possible scenario. But you gotta go out there and do something about it.” A good mantra for fighting fascism too.

NEW: A former cybersecurity executive turned whistleblower accused IBM of getting breached three times and trying to cover up the hacks. IBM was “routinely hacked by foreign state actors and others,” and data was frequently stolen and government agencies were “never notified,” he said in a lawsuit.

From @wired.com: Meta adding code for facial recognition to its mobile app. It isn't active (yet), but it is ready to go if/when Meta decides to activate it. My approach: don't use the mobile app, use a web browser of you want to access Facebook/Instagram/etc. www.wired.com/story/meta-s...

It refers to a problem 404 Media has covered previously, which is that AI-generated code is easy to produce quickly and in large quantities, but it makes the work of humans much more difficult because there is so much more to sort through, and no one understands the code because no one wrote it.

Have you vibe coded an app and then run it through an AI security review and found it had tons of issues? Or have you actually found a security issue on your own? I would love to talk to you for a story I'm writing!

For #cybersecurity folks, a new article from @404media.co and @jasonkoebler.bsky.social on "AI engine optimization" ... or "AI model poisoning" depending on your perspective.

The Stanford Blood Center is low on O- red blood cells if you are inclined to donate. I did my duty today!

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry signed a shoe endorsement deal with Li-Ning, a Chinese company, he announced Monday on social media. The agreement reportedly runs for 10 years.

In 2020, FBI agents visited the home of journalist @zackwhittaker.com seeking info about his reporting on a hack at a Mexican embassy. Now, @rcfp.org attorneys are representing Whittaker in a FOIA lawsuit to learn more about why this troubling incident occurred.

Spargelzeit in Deutschland!

The blog is out! AI agents are disrupting today's identity security. Every new agent is a new identity—with permissions, a lifecycle, and the ability to act at scale. We’re heading into an AI identity explosion—and most organizations aren’t ready. #cybersecurity www.techtarget.com/searchsecuri...

For the #cybersecurity #IAM types, if you're wondering how to handle proliferating AI agent projects, this blog I put together gives you an overview of where to start: www.techtarget.com/searchsecuri...

For the cybersecurity (and #IAM) people - AI agents aren’t just changing tech stacks—they’re rejiggering enterprise budgets too. My Dark Reading piece that published today explains those budget dynamics - www.darkreading.com/identity-acc... #identitysecurity

Some amazing quantum frothiness. I like the science projects too, but would like to see capable, scalable quantum computers rolling into production that unlocks the potential. www.cnbc.com/2026/05/21/q...

Check out the trophies being handed out at a youth chess tournament at Bryant Park NYC this morning. The kids (and most were ~10 years old) looked to be having fun.

An interesting finding here is that TikTok’s “sensitive data” filter for state health sites is a bizarre keyword list with terms like MAGA, antifa, Teamsters, bhagavad, mulatto, queer, and nationalist. If your answer isn't on the list, it could still get sent w/ @suryamattu.com and Tanaz Meghjani

FANTASTIC NEWS!

SEC filing: Identity/security firm SailPoint said it detected a breach of some of its GitHub repos on Apr 20. Says the root cause was a vulnerability in a third-party application, without saying more. "No evidence" of a customer data breach, but said it notified each customer that had data accessed.

Republicans squawk about deficits during Dem administrations, but then it is crickets when they are the ones running up deficits. And when the Dems win things back, they'll squawk again and journos won't hold them to account for R deficit spending. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/07/b...

What cease-fire?!

Didn't the White House just claim that hostilities had ceased so no Congressional approval required Iran? Could someone in the media hold the White House to account? And the headline is "reignites".... the conflict was always burning, just lately on a low simmer. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/05...

I am honored to share the 2026 Pulitzer Prize for Best International Reporting with Dake Kang, Byron Tau, Aniruddha Ghosal and Garance Burke for our reporting revealing how Silicon Valley largely designed and built China's surveillance state and enabled human rights abuses.
