Lemme know if some of you folks in the #twincities out there are *actually* willing to walk away from season tickets over some lads dancing. I'd be happy to support them in your place.

Epstein’s "little black book" totals 97 pages, containing 1,571 names and roughly 5,000 phone numbers. At least 38 names are mysteriously circled, including Donald Trump's. “I got my hands on a copy,” writes Leland Nally. “I made close to 2,000 phone calls.”

Taps the sign. Again.

@isc2official.bsky.social , maybe you can explain to me and other certificate holders how Palantir employees can be holders. Or are we just tossing the rules out?
I'll say it again.

@isc2official.bsky.social should revoke all Palantir-employed certifications as being against their code of ethics. Allllllll certifications. Fuck Trump and fuck Palantir helping him.

Brutally general examples used for very distinct toolsets. It's a terrible question, much in the vain of ISC's "pick the most correct, even if quite wrong."

"This is what the media does, they take anonymous sources from disgruntled former employees, and then they try to slash and burn people, ruin their reputation. It's not going to work with me," Hegseth said.

Lemme tell ya bud, It ain't the reporting that's ruining your reputation.

I want to know the CISSPs that are working for Palantir supporting this effort so I can seek to remove them from the certification. They are breaking their CISSP oath.
