Pop Will Eat Itself - Def Con One (Video)
Pop Will Eat Itself - Def Con One (Video) YouTube video by PopWillEatItselfVEVO

@sluggodoug.bsky.social thanks for
playing Def Con One on Party 360 this past weekend. I love that song. In the early 1990s when I was in college I would beg the DJ at the Fineline in Tucson, AZ to play it. The video is hilariously low rent but fun as well. youtu.be/Xef60FAN6Vk?...

Imperial probe droid spotted above New Jersey

We finally have a good image of the drones flying over New Jersey. It seems they are looking for some kind of rebel base, or maybe some scruffy looking Nerf herders. Regardless, Trump has issued a statement saying Lord Vader can "do whatever the hell he wants." #starwars #nerfherders #lukeskywalker

The last place in the world I would want to be right now is selling to the federal government or companies that work with the federal government. All those FedRAMP, CMMC, or DoD SRG providers should start pivoting - now. Find some commercial business and find it fast.
