I’m not a conspiracy theorist or anything ,but this was certainly a choice of a day for DFAS to frantically email all retired reservists and ask us to update our addresses and contact info and tell our friends to, too.

I’d rather not get my pension right now tbh.

The most stand-out experience of my entire infosec career is still hands down the time I went to a science fiction convention and stumbled drunkenly into a hotel room party where Bruce Schneier was playing folk music and handing out beer. I was in a Star Trek costume. #ShitICouldntTweet

Trams and trains are all free (in response to fuel prices) from today in Victoria, and I’m going to ride so many trains, guys.

In this year of 2026 if you absolutely have to run your mobile, international event in America - and you choose to run it in Texas, Tennessee, or Florida, that is certainly a choice that reflects which of your members or employees you see as human.

I'm not salty or anything, and I don't live in America anymore - but I absolutely checked a couple major cybersecurity events with rotating venues because surely by now in 2026, they must have moved to places safe for women and trans attendees, surely, surely, surely,

nah of course not

Some stuff you should be watching:
- China / Taiwan
- Russia / Ukraine
- Epstein deletions and findings
- Minneapolis
- Strait of Hormuz politics and economics
- Lebanon
- SAVE act and obviously related passport and ID invalidation hijinks. And postal service hijinks
- OS level age validation

People keep training machines on human responses and behavior and then they’re shocked and fooled when they react to input exactly like humans superficially do.

Omg is this suppressed in America? The world is howling.

I just found out about the clown shoe thing, and 5 drinks in Singapore were not enough

There are taxi drivers in Singapore mocking this

Please, please stop supporting gen AI companies. It’s not worth it. https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/pentagon-ai-claude-bombing-elementary-school

You’re mad because you’re so deeply invested and wired into something that me yelling that the emperor is naked makes you want to fight.

I think that is because they’re all attached to really hype, addictive, subversive things, and We Computer People think we’re immune to that. To the point of getting aggressive when someone says they’re bad.

Yes, even the collapse of American free speech and democratic government because deep American exceptionalism and trust in stability is 💯💯💯 lifelong brainwashing too.

I’m kinda just over people yelling at me. The more people get super angry about me saying something is fishy as hell, the more south it’s going.

This is anecdotal, but every time I say I have a bad feeling about something

(See: Elon and companies, alleged grassy knoll ear shots, LLMs, cryptocurrency, Gamergate, project 2025)

And I get tech people yelling at me in the comments,

Within two years I’m proven extremely right.

DNC is just trolling us at this point

***Begging *** universities to stop forcing your cybersecurity students beg for strangers’ free time on the internet to do pointless interviews instead of even practical mentorship or projects.

We’re exhausted, understaffed and the market is hell. None of us have time.

Feels different than Iraq. In 2001-03 everyone was in for whatever and it was blasphemy to say the war was unjust or ill advised. Everyone was ready to enlist.

People don’t want to die for Israel and they don’t want their kids to. Even the die hard MAGA aren’t into it. They can’t sell dead troops.

The number of conflicts America has lost in the last half century despite having the most expensive military at the cost of aid for citizens will soon only be surpassed by the number of governments we’ve overthrown only to realize we don’t like it after all, and then overthrow the one we installed.
