This conversation reminds me of several I had with my sister decades ago. I'm on the autism spectrum, picky about facts. She's neurotypical, and usually prefers to generalize.

She'd get upset about some injustice, an make a wildly overbroad statement about it. I'd be annoyed and "fix" it. ;)

A series of explosions hit Ryazan overnight, with drones targeting the local oil refinery and Dyagilevo airbase. A massive blaze broke out near the catalytic cracking or hydrocracking unit, part of a refinery producing 12–13M tons annually. Some sources say "Peklo" missile-drones were used.

Great to be joined by Scott Helme on episode 440 of the "Smashing Security" podcast, where we looked at a different kind of insider threat - a Romanian prison inmate who found a way to game the system.

Then we head to the checkout aisle to ask why JavaScript on online payment pages went feral, and how new PCI DSS rules are finally muzzling Magecart-style skimmers.

All this, and our recommendations for a couple of great apps for Mac users.

I think "the world" is numb at this point. That happens after years of brutality and a clear message that your enemy does not care what others think about what they do or are. 🫤

The critical group that swung the election to Trump were mostly under-30, furious about climate change, and even more about continued US support for Israel. Whatever you think of them staying home instead of voting, they'll outlive most of us. I can't refuse to forgive them.

It was the easiest, one question, open book test in American history. And we are all suffering due to their failure. I will never forget, and never forgive the people who did this to us.

No. Even those few "Antifa" groups that support or commit acts of violence violence are not foreign organizations. They're ours, and we need to own that fact if we want to have any chance of fixing what's broken. :/

Trump has been on a rampage against mayoral candidate Mamdani. Mamdani has already been driving out criminals even before taking office, it’s easy to see why Trump, a convicted felon, doesn’t like him.

trump is out of the picture. Everyone has to function without him because he is loyal to putin not his agreements or former allies. Stop trusting or believing things will change abusive people do not change their stripes. The only thing trump will do is string everyone along, delay and deny.

Just Now: Trump: We are not selling any weapons to Ukraine, we are selling them to NATO to give to Ukraine.

Is there any difference? 🤔🤔🤔
