“We told the truth, we obeyed the law, and we kept the peace.” - Carter/Mondale, on how they wanted their time in office to be remembered.

We should all strive for this, no matter what we face.

In 2025 (less than 30 days away), PayPal will start selling your transaction history for targeted advertising.

I very highly recommend logging into your account and going to Settings > Data & Privacy > Personalized Shopping.

If you're reading this, turn that off RIGHT NOW before you forget.

In a call today about the ongoing difficulties remediating kicking China's hackers out of US telecoms, FBI and CISA suggested you call and text with encryption. (Really)
U.S. officials urge Americans to use encrypted apps amid cyberattack
Officials from the FBI and CISA said it was impossible to predict when the telecommunications companies would be fully safe from interlopers.

A few days late on this, but really appreciate this story from @404media.co on vulnerabilities w/ pregnancy tracking app What to Expect. www.404media.co/pregnancy-tr...

When I was pregnant 3 years ago I was shocked at the informational vulnerabilities on these apps, so am not shocked to see this 1/

No surprise I’m a reference nerd, and this a fantastic tip for preparing your mind for writing or gleaning new writing prompts. Find some new inspo! 📚
WRITING TIP FOR TODAY

Sale racks at bookstores. I'm dead serious.

Buy reference books when they are practically giving them away and build a little library. I cannot explain the difference between a book and the ENTIRE WEB.

A good reference book will give you a dozen ideas in the first chapter.

Today I've decided to start collect a starter pack of active OSINT accounts that DID NOT LET THE ACCOUNT SUMMER 2023 (like most users), but make posts with at least some regularity.

So far there are few of them (see the list in the comments and suggest who to add)
