#InterestingTimes I'm surprised this didn't exist already, but I guess that was a sign of how closely coordinated the American-European Union alliance was. Watched a vlog on this on ytube and it mentioned that they are moving away from joint US-dominated financial transaction infrastructure also.

I find these times not so much 'interesting' as 'tedious.'

Setting the stage re: #InterestingTimes re: #opendata #openscience. 2021 was peak OS with UNESCO Rec, #SDGs, but... geopolitical volatility is impacting all. (SR: US crisis = global issue given the global nature of scientific discovery. We're one node in a network) #RDAPlenary2026 #DefendResearch

Power is military.

Superpower is credibility.

Half a Second Saved the Internet The XZ Utils backdoor is one of the most fascinating near-misses in internet security history. A story about trust, burnout, open source, and the 500 milliseconds that stopped a catastrophic supply chain attack.

"Half a Second Saved the Internet"

I watched a fantastic video this weekend from Veritasium about security & it inspired this post.

Also, nod to my all time favourite author (& Nanobanana who helped me generate the image when other providers tools wouldnt!)

My MIL has been in hospital since the end if last week.

My youngest daughter was admitted yesterday.

My mum has been moved to the priority waiting list for her hip replacement as she's struggling.

Please, universe, that's more than enough for me to be getting on with!

Yep. AI is an awesome tool for authoritarians globally. (Including power-hungry politicians in civilised EU countries by the way.)

Fast-forward a couple of decades (?) and give them robot bodies (see what the Boston Dynamics robots can already do).

#interestingtimes 😬.

I’ll admit it.

I didn’t realize just how devastating a curse “May you live in interesting times“ really was.

I've had diagnoses for both. And ASD.

Azure Pricing in Interesting Times - Coeo We are currently living in “Interesting Times”. While this may be good news for journalists and the 24x7 rolling news cycle, it’s not necessarily good news for those of us who use Azure.

I've written another thing for the corporate blog - www.coeo.com/2026/01/azur...

It's not quite what I originally submitted. You can read that on my personal blog at thelonedba.wordpress.com/2026/01/27/a... and play spot the difference...

A few thoughts from a new political refugee to Canada — from the U.S.

Oops, Someone is Wrong on the Internet! On Dec 18, 2022 we (IG Agents 19 and 77) published an article about

Just rereading an old article on the movie #AboutTime and some people's wrong interpretations and found this line which resonates today; " Living in interesting times is a curse for a reason."

I honestly don’t know what to think any more about anything. You know it’s bad when you miss the “peace” of a global pandemic. Maybe it’s jet lag? Maybe it’s January? Maybe the world really is in the shitter? #interestingtimes

Our Techbro Overlords (assisted by AI™, of course) have chosen this time to activate God's chosen one, His Holiness Trump, to finally stand up to the horrible reign of the dreaded Venezuela/Greenland/big cities in the US Axis of Empathy, er, uh, I mean Evil.

Did I do that right?

#InterestingTimes

where does this leave #NATO and the #EU ?

neither can say nothing; saying nothing is quiet acquiescence.

supporting the US, where does that leave their credibility.

criticising the US and/or Trump... Trump will retaliate. how?

I often think about a character invented by Sir #TerryPratchett: the wizzard (Sorry, that's how he -> spells it.) Rincewind. #Rincewind is not at all interested in living in #InterestingTimes. He prefers boredom, because boredom rarely means that you are being attacked.

Will the US attacking Venezuela, give the grren light for China to attack Taiwan? #interestingtimes

We all need to wake from this.... slumberous state that has been bestowed on us
