Favorite TV of 2024:
- Slow Horses - Gary Oldman is a treasure and the snappy plot makes bureaucracy look fun
- The Diplomat - Keri Russell in her best role since The Americans
- Arcane/Pantheon - innovative animation with great writing
- Solar Opposites - funny homage to classic TV and movies

Had our office holiday party today with a white elephant exchange, where a coworker gifted the worst (or best) white elephant gift of all time—a bottle of alcohol-free Fireball Whiskey. “I want the awful cinnamon whiskey flavor without the buzz.”

I’m picturing the odds changing hour to hour on The Running Man-style betting board every time a news report of an artifact from the UHC CEO’s killer rolls in:
“Pictures and DNA discovered at the scene—7:1 odds to escape.”
“Use of a burner, cash, and a fake ID—3:1.”

WTF is wrong with these people? I hope that ripping chunks of his eye brows off is worth the few LinkedIn likes.

I can’t tell what’s whiter—the white board or the freakishly white teeth. I also appreciate the attribution of that rehashed quote to himself at the bottom. I guess he wanted to make sure no other LinkedIn influencer uses it without linking it back to him.

This is some next level LinkedIn hustle culture bro white boarding. I’m not even vaguely clued in on WTF the terms actually mean, but I can also somehow see this picture popping up on some 4chan semi-ironic conspiracy discussion board without losing too much meaning.

The LinkedIn self-help industrial complex™️ doesn’t even bother to actually write stuff with a marker on those fucking white boards anymore. It’s all a template with text box, fortune cookie-grade advice, and a condescending smirk.

Met @pluralistic.net.web.brid.gy at @defcon.bsky.social with @kikta.net and got two new books signed!

Imploring the person in charge of the vendor booth layout for the #BHUSA exhibition hall to put #CrowdStrike and #Microsoft right next to each other.

As an upside of the #CrowdStrike update outage, is that a few nation state and cybercrime ops probably lost connectivity with implants as a result of the reboots, rollbacks, and OS reloads. Likewise, the red team homies who didn’t yet set up persistence before yesterday will have to regain access.

I’m late to the #Oppenheimer conversation after waiting to watch on a streaming service vs the theater, but I gotta say that Christopher Nolan deserves all the critical acclaim he has gotten for making a tense courtroom drama for what adds up to a drawn out SF-86 adjudication.

I’ve only heard of one #TalkingHeads song before watching their infinitely rewatch-able #StopMakingSense concert on YouTube about a year ago and on Max now. I could probably watch it weekly just for the incredibly positive vibes the entire band puts out the entire time. Lifts my mood every time.

A long and densely packed read of a more holistic look at the direction of #Putin’s #Russia beyond their Ukraine incursion. @kikta.net

“The revised edition of the book will clarify that standing up to Kim Jung Un was a metaphor for stepping on a baby duck.”

This a map depicting the two US geographic Combatant Commands that matter and the four that don’t.
