WTAF is this BS?
A post labeled as "misleading", saying "Trans rights are human rights. Abortions are healthcare. End the genocide of Palestinians. Christian fascists must be stopped." Also "(i) This user is suspected of being a part of a terrorist organization called Antifa. Please report any suspicious behavior." (Also, what the actual fuck is this message?)

"Zetatech Mem Chip", a card from the Cyberpunk card game "Netrunner", with the flavor text "In 2019, sales dipped because of a rumor that the odd chip contained a miniature transmitter that sent the Chip's data, encrypted, to the nearest Zetatech facility." Copywrite 1996

A group of mafiosos with a quote from the movie "Goodfellas": "Only dumb people try to impress smart people. Smart people just do what they do."

Thanks for putting words to the ennui, Duo.

The BSG panel yesterday was really good!
Katee Sackhoff, Edward James Almos, and Mary McDonnell up on stage at Rose City Comic Con with the panel moderator, looking relaxed and talking about what it was like filming the show. And the evils of A.I.

Meet your heroes. Especially if they're Rachel Toback. 🫰🏻
Rachel Toback, a friendly white woman with long, wavy auburn hair wearing a black Def Con Community T-shirt a black KN95 mask, and a Def Con lanyard, holding her fingers up in a "V", next to the author, a white man with glasses and a backwards grey Kangol hat, a 2600 T-shirt under a black tactical vest covered in pins, and wearing multiple lanyards, smiling broadly as they stand in front of a Def Con 33 banner.

A recent conversation reminded me of this classic meme: (found on blackMoreOps.com, but it's hard to determine the original author)
A meme showing six pictures of a Hacker: 1. "What my friends think I do" and an image of young excited people crouched around a laptop. 2. "What my mom thinks I do" and some nerdy people in ties standing at a support desk 3. "What society thinks I do" and a solitary person in a big expensive lab comically dark and lit by green and purple lights 4. "What the government thinks I do" and a picture of the Titanic sinking. 5. "What I think I do" and a picture of Trinity from the movie The Matrix executing a flying kick. 6. "What I actually do" and a picture of a command line doing a port scan. (I would have had a spreadsheet)

Seattle 🤘
A view of the band performing on stage from the side, as the whole auditorium is lit by phones, lighting the fog machine haze like a glowing mist. The crowd gathered around the center stage, a bright spotlight pointed down from a ceiling contraption like a laser cutter focusing on Trent. A view of the front stage from the side, with people's shadows in front on the balcony and the band and fans down below.

A sign like they use on Facebook when reporting to followers that one is safe from a disaster, but it has a blue flag and says, "Marked clean on OPSEC currently" in reference to the leaked Signal chat where a reporter was inadvertently added by top White House officials.

BSides:LV pool parties are the best.
Palm trees and people lined up to get into the pool area, where lots of people are gathered in the summer night as a dj spins from a cabana in the back.

Now we're listening to Lindsey Allen presenting her talk, "The Case for AI Pessimism in the Age of AI Optimism". (And she's killing it!) 🤘

The US Congress is trying to claw back 2 years worth of money that was already allocated and spent on non-profits like National Public Radio and KEXP. Call your Senators and tell them not to back the House bill! #YouAreNotALoan #KEXP

"Rat of God" is OG. So good in Visions! "Once I dreamt of Death, but now it dreams of me..."
The Magic: the Gathering card "Crypt Rats", showing a human skeleton covered with black rats, implying that they were devoured after being laid to rest in a crypt. (Using the original Visions artwork not the later art, for old-time's sake.) The rats card also has a CMC of 2B, Creature - Rats, and an activated ability with "X: Crypt Rats deals X damage to each creature and player. Spend only black man this way." 1/1

Thanks BSides, see you next year!
The BSides: Seattle Villages sign, showing the Sasquatch riding an Orca in front of the Seattle skyline at sunset. (Based on the photo it looks like Lake Washington, not the salt water of the Puget Sound.)
