A ton of folks are still using the old server and are going to be sad December 18th when it's shut down for good and their apps/scrips break. Moving to TAXII 2.1/STIX 2.1 is more than just a URL change, so the time to get started is yesterday. Please help us spread the word that the end is nigh.

This is the optimal size for a history book and anyone who says different is a coward

Yah they’re coming over here under the influence of woke [checks notes] 19th-Century Prussian politics?

Newsletter: Goldman Sachs has called BS on Generative AI, and I believe that it's time that everybody follows suit - generative AI is unreliable, unsustainable, requires an entire rebuild of America's power grid, and is most decidedly not the future. www.wheresyoured.at/pop-culture/
