This happens literally every time I share a story from Teen Vogue.
hi! @teenvogue.bsky.social has been a reliable outlet for strong political journalism since at min 2016 — which was *9* years ago!

you don't need to be surprised each time you're impressed by our work! (maybe other outlets would respect us more if you didn't!)

All this screaming into the void about politics and not a single Fortinet meme today.
Very few cat posts.
No arguing over CVE scores.
Not even the obligatory "I hate Teams" daily rant.
Depressing times.

I hope my post finds you today, so you have to look at this toasted marshmallow.

Went to my local #OWASP meetup tonight and participated in my first capture the flag. There’s no feeling like learning something new, as uncomfortable as it may be. Nice people in the room make it easier! @owasp.org

I don't expect a lot of victories at the federal level fighting government surveillance in the coming years, so I am going to enjoy the hell out of every one we get.

In just a few months, the cost of running advanced AI/LLM models has fallen by several dozen times (40? 60?). Already today, some people can run a model on their own computer that deduces (‘thinks’) better than these people. This is a revolution.

Started this year with migrating my blog to a new, more minimalistic Hugo theme and got the first blog post of the year out! Last year has been challenging with regards to writing, but I'm aiming for writing more on my blog this year😸

The Cyber Safety Review Board's members have been dismissed by the new administration, same as many members of other boards. CSRB was completely nonpartisan and worked in tremendous depth, bringing serious recommendations for improving security. Most recently it was looking at the telco hacks. RIP.

On days like this I am glad that I spent the last several years very deliberately making exercise my primary coping mechanism.

I woke up feeling optimistic today. Not because the world is great. But because it’s nice to know where we stand. And where we stand is beautiful, no doubt about it. It’s all very much worth defending.

What an insane move, even for this cartel. Killing the CSRB sends a very clear message.
DHS has terminated the memberships of everyone on its advisory committees.

This includes several cyber committees, like CISA's advisory panel and the Cyber Safety Review Board, which was investigating Salt Typhoon.

That review is "dead," person familiar says.

I'm disgusted by supposed friends and allies still actively participating on the former Twitter. I get it, we all established a community there (fuck I had over 80K followers, it helped make my career what it is today). But what else does the owner have to do to get you stop supporting him?

Listening to an NFL podcast and when they mentioned Nick Siriani, my iPhone lit up thinking it was a hey Siri prompt. I hate computers.
