Just one week late posting this after being snowed into the hotel for two days longer than planned. How lucky was I to help get something new(ish) off the ground in its second year amidst its second calamity and to help speakers showcase their work in the CFP and on the mainstage!
I know how to get people to like me at a new job and it's bribes (treats like caffeine and chocolate) That and actually responding to emails right away
Goddamn so much of the system relied on high integrity and professional shame and once that was stripped away by lack of consequence it was just a ticking bomb right. We thought the system was protecting us and we could fuck around electing anyone. But we were supposed to be the system.
That the torture memo author and the administration that operated under its auspices never saw punishment was basically a warrant to do anything forever as long as you Find A Guy, wasn't it.

I liked when people liked me that was fun for a while And then I became a person Which is always a really bad move
This may be a controversial option, but I will happy to never see a Funko Pop figurine ever again. They are ugly, pointless little plastic things that only fill store shelves like a brain tumour filling a cranium.
Ryan T. Brown 🎮🩷@toadsanime.lostincult.co.uk · 10mo agoFunko is $250 million in debt. The company behind the Pop! vinyl figurines you have undoubtedly seen absolutely everywhere warns it may not last another 12 months without an acquition or additional funding. (Read more: Dexerto)
ron wyden looking straight at the camera and saying “taxation is the compromise”
Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.gov · 10mo agoThere is something deeply broken about an economy that creates trillionaires while people get buried under the cost of living and 42 million go hungry. The ultra-rich should realize that my Billionaires Income Tax, aimed at ensuring they pay their fair share, represents the moderate path forward.

An AI-driven mobile app which overrides hard documentary evidence to reach its own "definitive" conclusions of someone's citizenship sounds like an idea that didn't make it out of the Black Mirror writers room
Joseph Cox@josephcox.bsky.social · 10mo agoNew incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...

owning the libs by showing up to counterprotest in my clown car
Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social · 10mo agoI’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.

From Wired a few weeks ago. A lot of the people who I was told for years were the adults in the room are being asked how they want to be remembered, and that answer is very clearly "cowards." www.wired.com/story/uncann...
EFF is always so proud to represent security researchers doing important work. Our Coders' Rights Project often works with DEFCON presenters, and two of our clients are presenting today about schools, bathroom vape detectors, and audio recordings. www.wired.com/story/schoo...

Someone recently pointed out that a huge portion of those who die from measles without vaccination are in fact those with other conditions. That is actually the goal of RFK Jr. It's a cull.
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

The thing about Robert E Lee is he should have been executed in front of the gutted husk of a torched Virginia plantation mansion, and that should have been his official portrait, and we should have put it on our money.
Greg Jaffe@gregjaffe.bsky.social · last yr.The Pentagon is restoring a portrait of Gen. Robert E. Lee, which includes a slave guiding the Confederate general’s horse in the background, to the West Point library three years after a congressionally mandated commission ordered it removed, officials said. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/u...
