You meet the users where they are to stop them doing the stupidest shit imaginable.
You have no idea how much this paid off. The number of infected media players people downloaded in the age before Windows Media Player had more than three codecs is unimaginable
Who knows if I saved the firm

Kash Patel's personal firing of the Pride flag-displaying employee was always absurd and unconstitutional, so I'm glad David Maltinsky is suing, but, wait.
It was a flag FLOWN BY THE FBI that was given to him BY THE FBI?! Come on.

![On October 1, 2025, after successfully completing 16 weeks of the FBI Academy's
19-week training program, Maltinsky was handed a letter terminating his employment with the
FBI. The letter was signed by Defendant Patel ("Patel"). In the letter, Patel wrote that he had
"determined that [Maltinsky] exercised poor judgment with an inappropriate display of political signage in [his] work area during [his] previous assignment at the Los Angeles Field Office." In short, Patel fired Maltinsky for displaying a pride flag at his workstation that had been flown by the FBI at the LAFO and then given by the FBI to Maltinsky.
The Defendants' discrimination against Maltinsky for engaging in protected speech
was a clear and brazen violation of federal law and the Constitution.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreid5rog4gjpv3qeneunmoyqxoesnuxac2srp3u6ppnjdxphfv7jcoe@jpeg)

I just realized the thing that set back social democracy in America a hundred years was Hunter Biden not inviting media elites on his cocaine benders and sharing his hookers and I will spend the next 48 hours staring at the wall.

Woke military elites scoff at the idea that the blade is a proper finishing school, insisting that the humanities teach judgment, ethics, compassion, and forbearance. I can tell you that when the night screams with the sound of steel our warriors aren’t thinking of Homer, they’re thinking of home.

Straight up, I developed and taught — and @kikta.net now teaches — an entire course at the @alperovitch.institute that boils down to “you can shape adversary cyber activity but you can’t deter it because that’s how intelligence operations work”. Being mad at China for playing the game is ridiculous.

“We can deter espionage if it involves computers” remains the dumbest shit ever.
If you’re a reporter who’s going to be at @cyberwarcon.bsky.social, feel free to get me started on this — I’ll probably say something clinically insane but still entirely accurate.

NEW: @timstarks.bsky.social looks at President Trump’s dismissive remarks on cyber threats, and how they contrast sharply with his administration’s official calls for action, specifically China cyberscoop.com/trump-cyber-...
While White House demands deterrence, Trump shrugs
U.S. cyber officials have pushed for strong action against foreign hacking, while President Trump has downplayed threats, creating mixed signals on cyber defense policy.
