Hey IT Security folks, has there been a change on how to properly apply least privilege against user accounts? Are Ad groups no longer "acceptable" or is my Identity Management team losing their damn minds? #infosec #cybersecurity #identitymanagment

truth
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

What if, instead of sitting outside on a hot summer night oohing and ahhhing over pyrotechnics that scare our pets, disturb local wildlife, and cause tragic & painful injuries, we enjoyed a big slide show of everyone’s favorite wildflowers exploding in riotous color
Our queen of the prairie plants finally started to bloom for the first time since planting them last summer.
Best fireworks.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
