The “we are currently clean on opsec” in the Signal chat where a reporter was added would be thrown out of any writers room in Hollywood for being too on the nose. Unfortunately, it’s reality.

America, 2025. Secret police are abducting people off the street. Because of something they wrote.

Brother, I have had very similar thoughts, unfortunately.

In the previous administration we looked like fools! Today I’m proud to say we don’t just look like fools; we’ve proven it!
Dude, the comms group chat for the attacks in Yemen where they accidentally included the Atlantic Chief of staff… I… I just can’t anymore.

Republicans are considering legislation to limit the scope of federal injunctions, potentially curbing the judiciary’s power. These injunctions are typically issued when judges believe a law or executive action may be unconstitutional.

I realize there's a lot of hate and distrust for journalists in infosec but it's absolutely crazy that I get a free newsletter with no ads every day from @404media.co plus tons of well-researched coverage, and every week I get a great round up for free from @zackwhittaker.com and @metacurity.com

JUST FYI EVERYONE, IF YOU SEE A POST THAT SAYS IT LINKS TO LUIGI MANGIONE'S SEX TAPE DON'T CLICK ON IT!! THERE'S A VIRUS THAT PUTS EVERYTHING YOU TYPE IN CAPITAL LETTERS

The Dutch are living in 2059. I need a stroopwafel warmer in my laptop.

Also I just updated my list of DOGE Debunking stories. There have now been at least 23 stories that catch DOGE in lies about savings, etc.

I am not a farmer.

But I AM led to believe that certain farming regions are better for some crops than others and we're maximizing for output, not growing suboptimal crops to ease tariffs while simultaneously destroying export revenues...

Friendly reminder, DOGE is not about efficiency and every reporter who describes it that way is misleading the public.

A screenshot of text from an article that says the secretary of defense removed the Jag officers to “prevent any roadblocks to orders that are given by the commander in chief”

This is so very very bad. The only reason to fire JAGs is you want to issue illegal orders against the uniform code of conduct. Worse than that… he admits it. This should terrify everyone. If you were or are in the military how does this make you feel?

I just can’t read it. The whole situation is terrible.

As an elder teaching the younger men of this generation: if you see a woman downing a bag of chocolate chips the only safe move is to protect the area where she is eating those chips and if spoken to ask if they need more chips. If they say yes, provide them. Don’t ask questions. Just do it.

A text message from my hotel asking if the room is OK. The response states that the room is haunted and that’s OK because the ghost are friendly.

I’m at yet another work conference. I’m curious how they will respond to this.

I’ve decided: the AWS’s MWAA service is officially pronounced “Mwuah!” and is to be accompanied with a chef’s kiss hand motion. Spread the word.

Oooooooo looks like I’m getting a new shirt!

Someone in Infosec find and hire this person immediately. Patience, researching on his own, bypassing controls, delivering findings in a polite yet effective way… be still my heart. Hired. Hired. Hired. Then we teach them about RoE, but still, hired!

I’m so sorry. Thank you for sharing to help others. ❤️

One of the most painful TV scenes I ever watched was on Call the Midwife where they showed how they dealt with deformed babies up to the 1950s. They just left them in a room by an open window to die: naked, cold, and alone. This is historical fact. When you remove options these are the results.

For those of you that feel tired all the time right now. Listen to this horse. You are not alone. The world is exhausting right now.
