I haven’t had to make up a lame password by hand in years. Except at work where we aren’t allowed to use them, but then why would a global financial institution be concerned with security?!

Do everything on this list, but really, just do this.
If you only have energy to do one thing on this list, make it "getting a password manager, start saving your logins in it, and let it generate your passwords for you". The biggest threat model for 99% of people is password reuse across sites and accounts. Let the computer handle that!

Just read the response from Costco to shareholders requesting it back down from DEI. It was glorious. It begins "Our Board has considered this proposal and believes … an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary." and gets better. A happy investor #diversityandinclusion

My pinned PROOF report—born of 2 years researching Musk—has been read by tens of thousands who have come to it via various social media platforms and backchannel recs. Maybe 1% of readers worry it's too hard on Musk; they fear I'm ringing the alarm too hard.
I'm not, and each new day is proving it:

Sorry George, but I’m convinced this a question of “when” not “if”.
We’re going to be tested as a nation sooner than later I fear, and I hope we can muster a response that would make the South Koreans proud.

If Trump ever tries to cancel elections or stay in power for a third term, let’s fill the streets of D.C. and every other major city and demand his resignation. We have the power, always.
In South Korea, a Blueprint for Resisting Autocracy?
After President Yoon Suk-yeol ordered martial law, the legislature voted to impeach him. But it could take months to remove him from office, and uncertainties remain.

I read that Nancy Pelosi is “pulling out all the stops” to stop AOC from gaining a committee chair.
And then the next thing I read was that Nancy fell down some stairs.

America is going to learn very fast that the historic corruption of the incoming administration will kill people. American innocents will die because Trump and Musk and Thiel and Vance have designs on this country that have everything to do with their own enrichment and nothing to do with Americans.

What bothers me most about the hagiographies tech journalists wrote about Elon Musk for 20+ years is that they universally framed him as an intelligent man.
He's not.
He's an undereducated, intemperate, incurious, prejudiced, unwise, narrowly skilled dolt who is willfully ignorant on most topics.

Have I mentioned how much I love AOC yet? (See my profile banner pic)
Seriously hope she wins this. She is the future of Democratic politics or we might not have one.

JUST IN: AOC formally launches her candidacy to be ranking member of the House Oversight Committee.
She argues that Democrats "must balance our focus on the incoming president's corrosive actions and corruption with a tangible fight to make life easier for America's working class."

Ocasio-Cortez would be easily the youngest – and most high-profile – Democratic committee leader.

Bravo for @harrylitman.bsky.social’s selfless decision to resign the LA Times in protest. “The existential stakes for our democracy that Trump’s second term poses” make Soon-Shiong’s “currying favor with the President-elect . . . repugnant and dangerous.”

No but seriously what's wrong with this man—and don't just say ketamine or the fact that he's been a white supremacist his whole life or that his business empire is half failures and half built on misrepresentation and ideas that aren't his or the fact that he's a creepy impregnator of his employees

Exactly my feelings on the death of the UHC CEO
As noted elsewhere: Two things can exist as once. I can feel for the family of a murdered man AND I can feel for the literally hundred of thousands of families this horrible selfish greedy capitalist fuck screwed over.
I don't condone what happened, but I sure as hell understand the impulse.
