This is one of the nightmares of modern security. We need to know where every single one of those is, what we're trusting it to do and not do, and how to make it stop *immediately*.
And every time someone wants to use a new one we need to figure out whether we can trust it as far as we can throw it

I worked at a 4,000-person event tech company for about five years. At one of the annual team all-hands, our CEO shared a PowerPoint slide that contained every SaaS vendor logo that enabled our daily work.

This is perfect. The DOJ's embarrassing snafu with disappearing redactions was the fault of Elon Musk. Musk cancelled government subscriptions to Adobe programs that would have made the redactions permanent. What a pack of fools.

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

I suddenly remembered the time Swedish public radio made a show called "Star Wars or Småland" where they listed a bunch of place names and you had to guess if they were from Star Wars or small towns in Småland.
Fun fact, the small town of Kosta in the Swedish region Småland has had famous glassworks for centuries. But it also has a large wooded area used for army exercises. I've spent weeks there. Pitch black winter nights, days filled with mud and misery.
