"Science is a process of unraveling mysteries, and the subject matter seemed to fit within that framework, since it features dogs that are sniffing out conservation clues." @alisonpstevens.bsky.social interviewed by Marc Bekoff at @psychtoday.bsky.social www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/anim...

When people doubt the CDC stat that 1 in 3 women experience rape, attempted rape, or sexual assault, my first thought is always that the estimate is too low.

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

First 100 mile ride in the books. I’ve only been riding a bit over 3 yrs so this was a big challenge, especially with elevation gain compared to riding in KC. Took almost 5 min off my best time up Lookout Mountain and hit 51 MPH down highway 40. Tried to pace myself but ended up with a ton of PRs.

First 100 mile ride tomorrow. Can't decide if I need my camel pack or just 2 water bottles. Plenty of refill spots and weather should be great. Did OK on the 85 mile route last year so think I'll be fine. May take a 3rd small bottle in my jersey instead of pack. Hmmmmm.....

Maintaining and growing that space — for all genders — falls to Emily Griffith’s first-ever president.

My favorite talk every #devopsdays is up next. It’s the PAY TALK. Love how it helps others know what their value is. Helped me a ton in the past. Thanks for doing this again #devopsdaysrox

This is my favorite security conference every year. If you can attend, even if not in the security industry, I highly recommend it.

Try good event so far at #DevOpsDaysRox. Cool venue, met some great people, and informative presentations. Also, a few games of pinball during breaks is always helpful for mental health breaks.

A couple went on a Fox News podcast and claimed the state of #Massachusetts took away their teen because they won't help the teen transition. But it's actually because the father was charged with beating and threatening to kill the teen and the mother was charged with witness intimidation.

HOBOCON 2 was one hell of a ride. 🚆 68 hackers traveled from Kansas City to Chicago for 12 talks, 3 villages, a CTF, RFID implants, and just the right amount of chaos. Want aboard for HOBOCON 3? Fill out the interest form at hobocon.com! #HOBOCON #InfoSec

New — I wrote about this weird thing where people within the Republican party keep being exposed as Nazis and the party then tries to claim each one is an aberration. The facts, as I lay out here, indicate otherwise:

Republicans don’t have a Nazi problem—they are the Nazi problem

A spate of recent revelations have shown the ideologies and their adherents are one and the same.

Yes, we did see you during Blue Team Con 2026. Well played.

An armed man charged at the Democratic candidate for governor in Ohio less than a week ago, and yet Republicans aren't being yelled at to turn down the temperature. The double standard is maddening.

I soooo want to do one of these. Gonna have to figure out a way unless I can get the route to head to Denver.

We’re doing this again. hobocon 3 is coming. hobocon 2 put 68 hackers, makers, radio nerds, and assorted weirdos in one train car. For hobocon 3, we’re planning at least twice the nonsense: two train cars and 136 people. Interest form: hobocon.com

“A lot of these companies are pre-IPO, so they’re focused on three things. They’re focused on market penetration, they’re focused on product differentiation, and they’re focused on valuation. And valuation includes the data that they own,” EFF’s @tsnvaa.bsky.social told @kcdefender.bsky.social.

Excellent time at my first Lookout Mountain Full Moon ride last night. Roughly 400 cyclists rode and everyone was being respectful, having fun, and enjoying the views. Can’t wait to until the next one.

Stumbled across Kat King at 2024 pride fest in KC and just love their music. Even better that a drummer I know (Daniel) is playing with them. This is one of my favorite songs of theirs. Check them out in the KC area if you can. open.spotify.com/track/0O1G1Y...
