OK. Seeing how I have been drawn into this....

Dear American commentators: Not every part of the world is the same as the USA. Advising people in the UK to do things that would send them to prison is unethical and makes you look like an overinsulated idiot.

If you get hit in the head with a projectile (bean-bag round, blunt baton round, tear gas projectile, etc.) you need to get out of the fight. Even if you feel ok. Even if you were wearing a helmet.

You need to go to a hospital and get checked out.

If you're at Defcon you should check Jayson's class out. Great guy, very knowledgeable and a great teacher
And sometimes it’s fun to do bad things! Especially when the client is paying you too!!! 😂

Interested in learning how to rob people the way I do then catch my class at @defcon! We’ll be learning how to use some of these tools and you’ll keep one too! 😊

Great book, absolute steal for 99p
At a time when the rule of law is under global attack, those electronic books people have made the Sunday Times bestseller #FakeLaw a Kindle Monthly Deal, a stonking 99p.

Those in power misrepresent the law to advance their own agendas.

Don’t let them lie to you.

This is gut wrenching please share.
Friends of mine were out of town when the fire took their home. Their cats are still missing. They're aware of the resources, but obviously everyone is overwhelmed. Please keep an eye out for Scout (female tortoiseshell) & Moxie (female orange tabby), last seen in Altadena before the fire. Thanks.

It's been snowing in the UK and the road gritters are out in force, begging the question:
Have you ever wondered where that grit actually COMES from?
The answer is more magical, beautiful and fascinating than you probably realised.
