#BreakingNews

Scientific study proves that adults are indeed allowed to have fun. Media outlets too shocked to comment!

Pass it on!

I see nothing bad here

Billy J Bryant @billyjbryant.com · Sep 10

This is a must, unless you REALLY love that sexy Cheetos dust 😉

Ever wake up, finding yourself waxing for #nostalgia?

Take a look at #IMG_0001!

It's a look back at the magic of early #YouTube, a random assortment of pre-algorithm videos when all it took to post was a smartphone and a "Share to YouTube" button.

I walked away from #DEFCON33 with #covid...

Just before this picture was taken, he asked "Are you sure this is not upside down?"

Thanks for the #memories @defcon.bsky.social!!

#DEFCON33 #DC33 #SneakyBadge # irateSoftware

An overhead shot of a custom electronic badge with glowing green letter tiles spelling out "GOODBYE DEF CON" across the top and bottom. In the center, a small screen also displays "GOODBYE DEF CON". To the left, another smaller badge shows "irate Software" and a red digital readout of "46.6" with "Ego Meter" and "Ban Counter" labels. Various electronic components and circuit board traces are visible, along with a metallic, multi-layered "HUMAN" DEF CON badge on the right.

And with that, another #DEFC0N is in the past! This is always so much fun!

Goodbye #DEFCON32

Selfie of a man in front of an enormous, brightly lit digital sign for DEF CON 32, featuring a vibrant, techy design.

Yeah DEFCON didn't get a room block with them this year. And they weren't just checking DEFCON booked rooms last year. I figured they probably wouldn't repeat the same mistake again, it caused a lot of negative press even outside of the hacker community.

I refuse to patronize them again, bad blood

Billy J Bryant @billyjbryant.com · Aug 10

Were they searching rooms this year or did they learn their lesson?

Billy J Bryant @billyjbryant.com · Aug 10

Getting to meet @thedarktangent.bsky.social in person was definitely a highlight of #DEFCON33!

Thank you for being nice enough to take a quick selfie with me!

Can't wait for the #RoadToDEFCON34

A selfie shows two smiling men at what appears to be a conference. The man on the left has a beard, wears glasses, and a gray t-shirt with an orange design. He has several lanyards around his neck. The man on the right also wears glasses and a black t-shirt with a green and black graphic design. He has a red "GOON" badge hanging from a black lanyard around his neck. Both men are looking at the camera. The background is slightly blurred but suggests a large indoor space with other people.

I haven't gotten to the convention yet but that's my first stop

If anyone happens to find this Keyport knife and flashlight combo, that also has an attached black paracord with a black DC32 bead, I would really love to get it back! If you turn it into the @keyport.me booth in the #DEFCON vendor area, there will be a #reward in store!
