Trans rights are human rights and Black lives matter.

New, by @lorenzofb.bsky.social and me: We just published TechCrunch's annual jealousy list of cybersecurity stories that we *didn’t* publish but wish we had. This is the very best cybersecuirty reporting from our friends at competing publications.

12YO girl signed up to do “stand up comedy” at the talent show. 13YO boy decided to heckle her. Teacher started to tell the boy to leave her alone, but the 12YO comedian said “no, no, let him go, this is the closest he’s ever going to get to having a conversation with a girl.”
What's an insult you'll never forget?

Can't wait for the loosened up, non-perfect, but quickly shipped AI-enhanced updates to hit my banking and insurance services next year.
Im sure there will be no issues there at all.

Just a reminder: you are NOT unusual, weird, or unlovable if you have:
- no one to see on Christmas Day,
- no presents, or
- no contactable relatives.
Very few people live the idealised version on TV. Those of us who live differently—whether by choice or trauma—matter as much.

I did a special video release for Christmas this year in collaboration with @littlegunbunny.bsky.social
(And we started it with a scene from a Die Hard movie, how timely and topical is that?) 😂

Happy holidays to everyone who's in solitude today. You get to decide what this post-solstice 24 hours is like! You could mourn or reflect, give gratitude or binge-watch, join your chosen family or cozy up with your animals. You may not be surrounded by people, but a lot of us are in the same place.

Going to be watching Hogfather (2005) later, so it feels like a good time to share this perfectly captured moment from the story.

This has never really been a holiday I enjoy due to my childhood and if you're in the same boat know that I'm thinking about you today and hoping you are having a better time today.
Be kind to yourself today; you're worth it.

I think it's pretty obvious that the answer is "accept lower quality" until cyber insurers intervene to realign market dynamics.
Fast, cheap or good: pick two. The promise of AI tools is that they are much faster and cheaper than people and almost as good.
AI generated code has 1.7x the bugs of human authored code. The key question is will businesses increase quality control of AI output or will they tolerate lower quality?

Why is this advice always aimed at children avoiding their parents, and never at older people belligerently and inevitably regurgitating Facebook opinions so offensive their own kids would rather skip Christmas dinner than endure them?
Yeah, no thanks.
Stop guilting people about being estranged from family members. It someone is they likely have personal reasons for being so.
