Don’t let one
You don’t know a fundamentalist

If you’ve memorized your civil rights
Don’t forget one
If you don’t want an abortion
Don’t get one!"

SO, i'm back to my fuckery after recovering from some self inflicted torment as a result of my own shenanigans (i'm not gonna say what exactly) with @skydeck.live. And now hopefully nobody else should have that issue pop up. 🤞

I guess they don't want their pals China and North Korea seeing exactly how bad they're getting pwned. Though with NK, they'd have a pretty good idea since it's also THEIR people getting trashed. 🫤

Hopefully with all the agreements Canada are working on closely with Europe, they'd also give us access to this jailbreak. I have to wonder if that's the reason behind us tossing some money into additional F-35s recently.
Outgoing Dutch State Secretary of Defence tells podcast that European countries have ways to jailbreak F-35s and make them fully European, if the Americans were to restrict access:
"I'm not allowed to tell you more."

(Probably shouldn't have said any of this at all, lol)

Boasting about 200+ victims when you're a new or rebranded ransomware group, is quite a claim. But there's little evidence that 0APT actually *are* any sort of threat. Investigations into it, suggest a lot of false claims and practically no evidence.

0APT is claiming over 200 victims in quick succession in early 2026. Is it fabricated. Read this GRIT blog to learn what you can do.

In case you were wondering, yes. This whole Trump admin "never apologize for your heritage" schtick is (once again) drawn directly from the playbook of white supremacist/far right orgs. Nazi sh*t.

The vast majority of us are incredibly lucky that we've never had a completely hostile nextdoor neighbour like Russia. I can't even begin to imagine how bad off i'd be, having attacks on my home country constantly going off. 😣
I miss quiet nights so much—the kind where I feel safe and my mind can finally be still. Now, every siren makes my heart race and my eye twitch with panic. It’s impossible to stay calm when you know your whole life could change in a single second. 1/2

I wonder what it means for the future that automated moderation, the online panopticon & Silicon Valley puritanism has shaped a generation of kids who are now afraid to type “sex”, “killed”, “death” or “rape” online without substituting numbers for letters or resorting to language like “unalive”

Really terrifying is also the potential for a Rubella comeback. 😟
Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading.

Now we’ve got mumps rolling up.

Expect more.

I started making comics, in part, as a respite from the grind that is cybersecurity.

Only hackers/scammers are everywhere. I’m no @johnhammond.bsky.social but here is my video on how scammers try to take advantage of creators on Kickstarter.
Also, coincidentally, I just released my video on Kickstarter scam targeting creators.

It’s not just you, there are more scammers and they are more brazen AND they love to hit creators!

It's hard to believe this was all the result of either a shoot down or training exercise. It seems more likely something else was afoot with the internment camps being set up on or near Fort Bliss.

Possibly massive relocation of detainees to the area and preventing casual onlookers from seeing it.
