Enjoying the @bsidesnova.bsky.social keynote on the ridiculous abundance of hacking knowledge and materials available to us now. We've come a long way from waiting until the long distance rates go down to call some distant BBS and download Phrack.

Miller and the other ghouls are probably showing him AI videos of wanton destruction and telling him they obviously need troops to quell this disruption.

I know that correlation is not causation and all,but it is getting hard to avoid the conclusion that having a billion dollars simply breaks the human brain.

I'd expect more serious statesmanship from a guy named Buddy.

A fast food taco is a completely different food than a real taco. And they're both delicious in the right situations.

Every moment of slack or peace or quiet contemplation is simply an inefficiency in the market that needs to be ruthlessly stamped out.

Good news! Someone wished on a monkey's paw that Amtrak was as good as British transport, so British trains are getting worse and worse.

Much like any other service job, you can tell if someone has ever worked in a call center by how they treat people who work in a call center.

A reminder to be nice to help desk/phone staff. They don’t need your attitude when HELPING YOU.

Spoke with FFS office this AM to go over checklist items and she was just happy I wasn’t a pill of a person. She mentioned her previous call was rude and criticized her manners.

Need to start the most important part of conference prep, deciding which stickers to bring. 🤔

Nextdoor is a great alternative if you've ever thought to yourself "you know, the Boomers in the neighborhood Facebook group are just too calm and well-informed".

I got pulled aside for the "secondary screening" (aka Democracy Massage) last time I flew, and the poor TSA guy looked so miserable I didn't even have the heart to bust his chops about it.

17) My general vibe is that TSA knows that it's all security theater, and no matter how much you hate the government, you can't hate it more than TSA agents do, on account of the government being the ones who've made them stand there and do security theater.

Right now they're not even paid for it.
