I’ve often called this song—“Just Like Heaven”—the finest single of the 80s and meant it. This cover’s arrangement only confirms it for me 💜🔥

I imagined a young girl looking off to an uncertain future to represent the next generation facing global climate change. I wanted a photo reference but my daughter Alexa was grown up and off finishing grad school. 1/3

This is apparently a controversial opinion.
Nobody's asking for perfection; simply better than the status quo. We're where we are right now because the ballot options have consistently represented a ratcheting effect toward the right. We need a counterbalance against that.

This is why I use 9front for all mission-critical systems.
I have talked to an IT admin turned security Principal, who had a 0click 0day deployed on their network. I know the case and CVE, it is real.
What saved them was the attacker encountering a configuration they had just NO idea what to do with.
Attackers are not gods, even if they have the commands.

Attackers are not gods, even if they have the commands.
I tell the story often but in the beginnings of my career in IT I was fascinated by stories of 0days by state actors. And I worried about them.
As our entire client base was XP SP2 with zero governance and many machines shared huge groups of local admins.
Perspective later is hell of a thing.

If I had a nickel for every MIT academic I know of with ties to Epstein*, I'd have… at least two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice, am I right?

'Spoke to Chomsky, he’s all in,' Epstein wrote in a text message to an undisclosed associate."

Epstein turned to academic Chomsky, others to rehab image after Herald investigation
Other potential people Epstein considered included deceased Nobel Prize-winning scientist James Watson and Norwegian diplomat Terje Rød-Larsen.

Not only is this the exact opposite of how supply and demand work, but there's also no way in hell a cow is crossing the Darién Gap in one piece.
This is exactly why it should be known as Fox entertainment and not news.
What’s even more bonkers is their viewers actually believe this crap, and the rest of us have to deal with the fallout of their misinformation.

This Hassett guy does understand that I can't eat gasoline or a mortgage as part of my Thanksgiving dinner, right?
KARL: The president claims that Thanksgiving costs are down 25%. Does he know that's not true?
HASSETT: Well if you look at Walmart--
KARL: Wait a minute. I've gotta stop you. The Walmart package this year contains much less than the one last year. That's why the price is less.

Sounds a lot like the rationalizations for civil asset forfeiture. “You have a right to due process, but the money we confiscated as ‘evidence’ doesn't, so we'll press charges against the cash.”
Whenever you see a case name like “United States v. $100,000 in U.S. Currency”, that's what's going on.
