JD Vance (41) defending hate speech from 40 year olds by saying "kids will be kids" is some weapons-grade telling-on-yourself

Also a reminder these weren’t “Kids”! Some of these “Young Republicans,” which includes ages up to 40, were elected officials or government appointees.

I bought one of those cheap little mini computers. Should I use it for Security Onion and/or Wazuh, or should I put ChromeOS Flex on it and use it for occasional Malware Det/Link Investigation? (Could also use Tails with it if needed for some of that.)

Windows 10 goes out of support today. My fave useless fact about w10 is that the iconic blue desktop background is a *photograph* - not CGI.

I think the leak of the incredibly racist young republican group chat only furthers the argument that millennials were the only generation able to use the computer without going insane, mostly because the computer was once a place separate from the real world. but now the real world is also computer

that a bunch of billionaires have been irreversibly brainwormed by getting addicted to a glorified chat room adds credence to my theory that spending too much time on IRC as a child acts as a powerful inoculant to the worst impulses of an escalatory group dynamic

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

I am baffled by the short sightedness of the dismantling of our cybersecurity infrastructure, especially given how paranoid, isolationist and nationalistic the administration is.

Eric Geller @ericjgeller.com · 1d

The Trump admin is laying off nearly 200 CISA employees & forcing dozens more to take new jobs at other agencies (sometimes across the country) or quit.

Morale & productivity are sinking at the already-depleted agency, further jeopardizing US cybersecurity.

My story w/ new details: bit.ly/3KLoptn

Layoffs, reassignments further deplete CISA

Some CISA staffers have been pushed out, while others are being told to move across the country for jobs outside their skill sets.
