Since every Nazi (Elon Musk, Kanye West etc) is claiming autism, I am officially rescinding my diagnosis. Thanks guys, it’s been fun. Guess I’ll have to find something else to write mediocre jokes about.

I don’t care if babies cry on planes. Planes are unpleasant. I would also like to cry on planes. If a baby cries on a plane, that is not a nuisance. That is simply a relatable baby.

Oh man, I have so many stories about that "startup". The founder Marshall Webb spent a year harassing me because I posted a research paper on the Mirai botnet (he considered himself to be the sole authority). It later turned out his knowledge came from him personally hosting their infrastructure 1/5
A teen DOGE staffer recently given access to government systems worked at a startup known for hiring convicted hackers. Someone using a Telegram handle associated with him also solicited a cyberattack-for-hire service in 2022. All raising questions about his vetting. www.wired.com/story/edward...
DOGE Teen Owns ‘Tesla.Sexy LLC’ and Worked at Startup That Has Hired Convicted Hackers
Experts question whether Edward Coristine, a DOGE staffer who has gone by “Big Balls” online, would pass the background check typically required for access to sensitive US government systems.

What you think InfoSec sounds like:
- Seize control of the docking clamp communication bus, disengage all diode armatures, and release our Harpoon cyber attack suite over the Baltic dark fiber.
What it actually sounds like:
- Whoever owns this Cisco please call me

The whole reason Google created the Alphabet umbrella corp was to be able to avoid all the promises they made about not doing military stuff
TBH I'm surprised it took them this long to get on the ML-controlled death machine bandwagon

Bitcoin has evolved from being ignored, to being declared worthless and dead by leading economists, over and over for a decade+ lol, to a rapidly growing asset class with legitimate political influence, now to … Advanced Persistent Threat Number One.
Can’t wait to see what’s next. This is exciting!

Southerners stop introducing new words that will disappear immediately in my accent

"I' no' ca'a u no wo' eye mean inni ma'e"
Convincing my army of London street urchins to start using the word "cata (from catastrophic/cataclysmic)" to mean "really bad" in their day to day speaking.
ex: "its not cata u kno what i mean" "its cata innit" etc
Someday all of Britain will catch on to my hip invention.
