People are breaking their bones in contorting themselves to celebrate an individual whose ceiling of decorum is the floor for most everyone else.

I love giving everything I can to a cause, time and energy, but there are limits.
Not referring to my employer, they’re outstanding and I’m still with them. 🙂✌️

I know this is the sentiment for US politics, but it applies to a lot of the good fights and caring for others and when doing missing person work and looking into human trafficking, it is the same deal. Fighting evil of any form needs such care described here.

Spotify is being judgy, not sure what it is picking up on but if I want to be Emily Dickinson, let me be. That said, the suggested playlist *is* a banger, so I’ll settle into the cyberpunk vibes.

In 1992, we got Crystal Pepsi and Home Alone 2.
We decided to reject Crystal Pepsi and eventually make the guy that appeared in Home Alone 2 the US president.
Could have had it the other way around, rejecting that guy and embracing Crystal Pepsi.
We could have been in the Crystal Pepsi timeline.

An #OSINT and hacking tip: Phrase threats hypothetically. Instead of “I could do *this*,” use “an adversary could.” For instance, saying “I can use your public address to pay someone to throw a brick at your house” at a stalking and OSINT seminar sounds more ominous than educational. Yes I saw this.

So I am really liking ScreenZen as an approach to blocking “that birdsite”. I occasionally need to check some things (CTI, OSINT) over there, and having a “Is this important?” query helps.
Does anyone have other or better techniques for app blocking (besides quitting that platform)?

Saw someone state “Y’all didn’t read the man page and it shows”, and that stings so much but it should be an InfoSec t-shirt. Plus, I learned something new. A lot of wizards in the industry got good because one of the things they do is read the spellbooks, and I should do the same.
