Instead of "Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll", I've got "Sex, Spies, and Guns going Boom!"

Coming out on March 31st.

There’s a line in the CIA propaganda series The Recruit that I think fits here really well.

Butchering it but: The CIA will sell you the solution to the problem it created.

We are currently a deeply unserious country 🎪

Is it happening again?

But seriously, be kind to yourself.

Some things will get harder as you get older & that’s okay. You’ve got other stuff working better.

Plus, for the haters who don’t get the premature wear & tear from the hard stuff.

Fck them. They’ve never had to get hurt defending freedom like we have.

Happy Early Birthday!

If you’re a math nerd, with a terrible sense of humor like me, you could say that you’re not a double digit age but that you’ve been 9 three times?

I used to encourage my cybersecurity students in every setting that I taught them to read Tom Clancy's True Faith and Allegiance for the depiction of OSINT.

They thought it was weird that I'd recommend a novel instead of some academic text.

By the end, every last one understood why.

This was me with my 2nd book. Published it, sat back to write the 3rd (w/ the same country as an antagonist for the most part). Then saw us go to war with said country.

Their failing open book tests and not being able to pass the most basic Spanish language training makes it so much less fun to say "Chinga la migra."

It doesn't hit as hard when they don't know, so we're left having to say "Fuck ICE! Fuck ICE! Fuck ICE!"

If the ID I use to drive and fly, it’s not enough to vote, that’s voter suppression and a poll tax

…

A lie a minute presidency

Testing out how to get stuff from Substack over to Bluesky in a nice pretty way. 🤞for my Blood Pressure 😀

Retrying this so that it might get caught up in #booksky, #sapphfic, and #lesfic, which of course, I learn about way too late.

He was certainly afraid of Vietnam-style combat in Vietnam.

Hello?

Europeans when asked to unblock the Strait of Hormuz:

We can make the case that YOU shouldn't be there at all.

2 women.
2 worlds.
1 love powerful people want erased.

Unfortunately for them, these two don’t quit.

Thanks! :)

Woot! Granted, it's the Top 100 Free in its primary category, not the Top 100 Paid, but this still warms my heart so much. Thanks internet!

Some are better at keeping their shower thoughts inside, not saying the quiet part out loud, but not me.

Wrote what I like to call an unhinged TED Talk, available on Medium & Substack, then made this #cartoon for it. Enjoy (or else)!

Life does in fact get better together. So let's come together and beat hate. Let's all do what we can, using what skills we have, to make a better life for us all.

A government trying to make it to where they have to give you permission to do with your devices, your property, that's Orwell's 1984. This isn't China, Russia, Iran, or North Korea. Let's not let it become that.
