The number of people I’ve heard stories about being groped, assaulted, hit on, attacked, <insert other fuckery here> is grotesque. And people rush to defend the attacker and badmouth, belittle, or even try to ruin the victims…makes me so fucking stabby.
This is a major problem in terms of hiding behind “celebrity” to cover up shitty and criminal behaviours. “Oh you just misunderstood...He’s too smart and charismatic to do anything like that. The stories of him doing that before are just that, stories told by jealous people.” InfoSec is not immune.
Oh, I want much more than this. I want everything any intelligence agency has on Donald Trump declassified as well as anything the Department of Justice has.
Our intelligence community sat on its ass and did nothing to help us with a walking national security threat for 10 years.
Let that end now.
All billionaires should be paying attention.
The more people struggle, the less they have to lose.
#infosec folks…anyone heard of a ransomware strain called Non Stop or know what strain has a extension name like .a01a7h? #ransomware
Hey if someone says that being trans isn’t an immutable characteristic because people detransition, you can tell them that the Court considers religion to be immutable and people convert.

Just wanted to add some federal context for people already reading your posts :) Feel free to delete/argue if it feels like I’ve hijacked!
Also, Federally, they’re all pretty typically Centrist these days, with Lib and NDP JUST left of centre and now the Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) being very right of centre…the Bloc Quebecois kinda swings back and forth but generally right-ish. Green Party is a bit more left than the others.

- Breakfast in America - Supertramp

Ok Skeeters… what are the 5 albums you would take on a desert island? (Gen Z…albums are old tech where an artist would record a number of songs and release them all at once, on a single piece of media. If you wanted one song, you needed to buy the whole thing…)
My list:
Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Each year, the trans community loses too many lives, especially trans women of color, to hate and violence.
More than ever, we must stand by our trans family and support them, hold space for them, and insist the scapegoating and targeting stop.
Now.
The best and, to me, most logical explanation to this is that the value of the org and its revenue is not important to him. His purchase was all part of a 4 year long grift to get Trump re-elected, which would provide MASSIVE opportunities for evil fuckery, dwarfing any Twitter losses. Fuckers.
My experience shows similar results. Very little change test over test, typically hovering at around 11% failure with many repeat failures.
Any #infosec people wanna do a podcast together or something?
Con voter: I don’t like that Trudeau used the powers of his office to end an illegal protest (occupation of a city that was blocking borders & cost us billions of dollars) so I’m gonna vote for the guy who PROMISES to GO BEYOND the powers of his office to remove charter rights for some individuals.
ok, got some starter packs installed, skybridged my people from The Bad Place to over here, and subscribed to some block lists...I'm exhausted unpacking and putting stuff away over here...
Family includes everyone! ❤️
Figured it out!
Love to! How? 🤣
Also, are there any good #infosec lists on here?
We can only hope so.
Anyone know how to get notifications on iOS for specific accounts on here?
Ok, giving BlueSky another try.
I’m so tired of the dumpster fire in The Bad Place.
So, based on my What’s Hot and Discover feeds, this place seems to be completely inhabited by manga fetishists. Not that I’m complaining but wow, it’s a lot.
