I used to give away CompTIA vouchers on the Bad Site when I had extras... if I did a giveaway for a Security+ voucher this week for a tag and repost would anyone do it?

Old rules apply, preference is for a person from an underrepresented group where it would help their career, but open to all.

So if grocery prices keep looking the way the have been, remember the first and only rule of seeing someone stealing necessities: No you didn’t.

This is also the rule for subway or bus fare skipping. And basically anything nonviolent. Never happened.

I’m actually deleting all my Twitter stuff, after not using it for a long time. I cannot support a platform supporting hate the way it does.

I will continue to find other ways to not support hate, because this world is getting scary and ridiculous.

I’ve had Sinead stuck in my head for a few days. Maybe writing it out helps.

“These are dangerous days. To say what you feel is to dig your own grave.”

How do we explain all this to our kids one day? How long can we shelter them? How long should we? She was truly ahead of her time.

Bluesky reminds me a little bit of the promise of the Internet that used to exist. Where a goodness and meritocracy reigned across BBS or IRC…

I’ve been reminded of the Hacker’s Manifesto lately. Maybe that’s the trick, we’re all guilty of being curious and outsmarting some others…

So if we're hitting skyrocketing Bluesky numbers, can we all do Signal next please?

We need to normalize Signal so that those who have to use it can without being 'weird' or 'different' or accused of being criminals. Any sufficient resistance to power needs communication, first and foremost.

Anyone else in Infosec and of a certain age range where Men in Black quotes are somehow your Roman Empire?

“Imagine what you’ll know tomorrow”
“A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky animals…”
“Well, she was the only one who seemed dangerous at the time.”

No? Just me? Okay…

Imagine being so disgustingly wealthy that you *checks notes* stage some sort of government coup basically for a meme.

Remember the Brian Regan joke about serving size? It’s like a whole administration of not believing it’s actually going out like that…

Are first posts supposed to be important? Cause I'm going to think too hard and never do it, or just post this dumb self-referential joke instead.

Already following some familiar avatars, and hope to see more! Been a long time since I was on the other site, so drop a line sometime.
