Since we’re both weirdo academics, her a theater MFA, the question afterwards is: “is this southern gothic?” I don’t think so, it’s too expansive and western. However… the scene with the sheriff’s cousin and the cats, and the last scene with the dream monologue push it in that direction.
Success! No Country for Old Men passed.

Pretty sure the person at the Hyatt coffee place gave me uncut cold brew. Folding space and 90 bpm resting when it’s normally like 55. Ugh.

I love Cyberwarcon. It’s by far my favorite conference. I will say, though, that by the time the lightning rounds are done I’m burned.

On my way finally to Cyberwarcon. We’ve had a firewall P1, I had a flat tire before going on campus to do an exec briefing on observability, cloudflare doofed, and then like half our tenant lost m365 licensing in a group move. Fully expect IRGC to take out the power again tomorrow morning.

WTF. I was in a cabinet agency during “the trip” and it just keeps on coming back. A colleague was cover.

I don’t want to spoil it, but absolutely typical for our football team to lose stupid stuff and then play like today. Their SecOps uses elastic also so we can call it the kibana bowl.

Sometimes I’d like to go back to a time in my life when I didn’t know what the phrase “contract vehicle” meant.

To give you an issue of scale for the SNAP thing in a “red state,” the SC Gov activated the One SC fund which is typically used during natural disasters. It’s privately funded, but was established during the 2015 floods and was lasted activated for Helene.

As a ratf**k operation that social media thing has inverse power. Like people the dude needs to like him are going to like him even more.

Fair number of cyberin' people flying to DCA around Nov 18, myself included.
Not doing Amtrak from SC, it takes 8 hours to DC at best, and not driving, the travel people would freak.
We will see.

The Coen brothers and orthodoxy is interesting and I’ve never heard them talk about it. Hail Caesar has the Kedrov Otche Nash during the credits, Big Lebowski has “Before Thy Cross” in a snippet, and Burn After Reading has the orthodox ex-priest.
There's a funny scene in Hail Caesar where the studio brings in 3 Christian leaders and 1 rabbi to "approve" their film and the orthodox bishop says "I didn't think the chariot scene was believable" to which Eddie Manx says, "what about the religious depiction?" and the bishop just shrugs.

This comes into play heavily in IR, also. “Yes, this is bad, but the detection is lying to you. You actually now want to look for blah blah.”
One of the things I think the vibe coding stuff hasn't yet really come to terms with is junior developers and owners often think the key skill for developers is ability to write code, and principal developers know the /actual/ super power that distinguishes principals is their ability to debug.
