Someone is very interested in my ramen

The mom & pop market near us had some fresh fruit, and this seemed like a good Mother's Day breakfast. alt: homemade blackberry, blueberry, and strawberry greek yogurt, with fresh orange zest

Sebastian is enjoying a beautiful spring night.

A wholesome story for nerds: On Saturday, I was signing books at a local bookstore for Independent Bookstore Day. The store had a signing-palooza with new authors every hour; toward the end of my hour, a woman came up and asked what my book was about. "Dictionaries," I said, and she lit up. 1/n

@darthbluesky.bsky.social what say you, darth - are these two good bois handsome or what? bsky.app/profile/kenn...

John and his colleagues at Citizen Lab do such important work for security and protecting journalists and the public. Their digital forensics research team is one of the best in the world.

Having a transcript of your therapy session revealed in court is probably high on the list of nightmare scenarios. Sadly, it happened -- and you'll be shocked to know its because of AI. A new investigation from @proofnews.bsky.social. www.proofnews.org/womans-talks...

Playing around with some of the advanced features of my phone this weekend and took these two shots of my fuzzy friends. I think both boys look quite handsome.

Cleaning out some old storage and stumbled onto this classic gem by Maciej Cegłowski, aka Pinboard.

When a new Asian dish you're cooking turns out so bad, you decide to not insult dumplings by using chopsticks Also, PSA: just because a viral recipe on Instagram has millions of views and hundreds of knock off posts by "influencers" does not, in any way, guarantee it's a good one.

Long live engineering and science

From the “no shit, didn’t see this coming” department: District Judge ​Jeremy Daniel in Chicago said drivers in the proposed class action ⁠can try to prove that Allstate violated the Federal Wiretap Act by monitoring ​their travel www.reuters.com/legal/govern....

A long time colleague has spent the past several months looking into the core security properties & claims of OpenClaw, and finally decided to launch a GH project to replace it, at non-toy scale. Worth a read for any security professional. www.flyingpenguin.com/why-i-replac...

If you don't follow @wyden.senate.gov, today is a great day to see all the on-the-ground reports from the NoKings protests this weekend. Some really creative protest signs.

The number of American service members wounded in the Iran war has grown beyond 300, with more than two dozen troops injured this week from attacks on a Saudi air base.

Has anyone figured out why the "Send Later" option in iMessages is sometimes there and sometimes not? I tried searching the usual places (Apple support, YouTube, even /r/iPhone) but all the suggestions there aren't working for me.

Column by Dana Milbank: I attended a meeting of Faith250, an interfaith movement that discusses the Declaration of Independence and other American documents, hoping to bridge religious and political divisions. Here's what I learned:

It was a beautiful warm, sunny day. Garfield and Leopold each embraced it in their own way.

Leopold has made a BFF with the newest member of our household.

phrack.org/issues/68/2#... Another legend has crossed over. Thank you @fxv2.bsky.social for being your kind, brilliant self, whose contributions are too many to name, not just in hacking, but in being a superconnector who I now know is responsible for so many friendships & marriages. You are missed.

TikTok announces that they’re not going to deploy “controversial privacy tech” that’s actually the same end-to-end encryption most other providers use to protect users’ DMs. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I had an extra long break in meetings today so I felt like getting a little fancy for lunch. Saffron- and Annatto-infused orzo & fideo pasta with homemade Italian-style meatballs. 🧑‍🍳

From the Black Hat community: in memory of Felix 'FX' Linder. blackhat.com/html/blog/20...

Yeah, so basically Mandiant and iVerify released a paper today about this spoopy thingy called "Coruna". Coruna is very, very silly. Mandiant and iVerify discovered SOMEONE (they don't say who) developed some hardcore iOS zero day exploits. It exploited how iOS devices handled visiting

New from 404 Media: the FBI is using AI to hack targets. FBI official was talking about "remote access operations," FBI's term for hacking. FBI said it's a "game changer". The comments were unusually candid about FBI's very secretive hacking operations. www.404media.co/the-fbi-is-u...

I was just reminded of this classic piece by Jack Daniel. Still relevant today, and good grounding for early career people trying to break into a role in security. www.tenable.com/blog/shoulde...

A full iOS exploitation toolkit, "Coruna," has been found in the wild, hacking iPhones that visited infected websites, used by Russian spies targeting Ukrainians and thieves targeting Chinese crypto holders. And it may have been originally created for the US government. www.wired.com/story/coruna...

Powerful statement earlier today from @lookitup.baby in support of a pause in evictions for Minneapolis families in this time of crisis. www.youtube.com/live/vpRmCJE...

For the 2026 primary elections, NPR has collected deadlines and information on how to register to vote — online, in person or by mail — in every U.S. state and territory.

IBM says its value "has nothing to do with COBOL". But that's not the point.

My comment for Telegraph on the current chaotic stock-crash situation. IBM lost 13% in a day because of a blog post. If AI can disrupt whole ecosystems (hardware, software, consultants) the effects would be significant. Also, COBOL sucks. www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

And right on schedule: there goes pseudonymity on the Internet. arxiv.org/abs/2602.16800

I don’t think I’ve ever had so many people writing to me to ask about encrypted/secure/private tools for comms, collaboration, and organizing. So @lhn.bsky.social and I talked to experts and assembled this: the Wired guide to organizing in an age of surveillance. www.wired.com/story/how-to...

It's hard enough to figure out your own threat model and how to approach your own digital privacy and security, but it's even more overwhelming to try to think it through for bigger groups. @agreenberg.bsky.social and I put together this guide as a starting point www.wired.com/story/how-to...

Good day to make some nice hot gumbo

Everyone else in the house is snuggled in on this 21F° night, with one notable exception. Sebastian says the weather is perfect. Skyler doesn't want to go outside in until May.

Please keep these coming. 👍

I have a friend who's going through some pretty rough things right now. Please send any really cute capybara/otter/kitty/doggo pics or videos. It would be very much appreciated. 🙏

Stay safe out there friends. You can find me bundled under thick blankets enjoying a nice piping hot bowl of soup and tea.
