Seeing so many people spreading the word about the No Kings rally on October 18th. Trump is scrambling to mobilize as much of the National Guard as he can to control the narrative, he was rattled by the last one on his birthday.

Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash.

Pam Bondi knew.

Kash Patel knew.

Emil Bove knew.

And they made the investigation go away.

A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft.

I found the same thing with Jiu-Jitsu (as long as you have good partners to train with).

Movie poster for “Hackers”

30 years ago today, I saw Hackers in theaters with my crew @l0pht.bsky.social Later, I met my wife @debdebdeb.bsky.social on IRC. Then I co-founded a cybersecurity company @veracode.bsky.social with fellow L0pht hacker @dildog.l0pht.com What a journey! Anyone else feeling old? Post your story.

the hysteria has gone off the rails so far that the average american thinks 1 in 5 people are transgender. pure absolute insanity that is driving the current lavender scare

Prost!!

Really wishing we had a normal FBI that was less concerned about constant social media updates and, you know, worked to investigate crimes.

Celebrity chef and D.C. icon José Andrés pushed back on Trump’s propaganda in a post on X, writing:

“I understand why you are confused… all your time in D.C. you haven’t eaten ONCE outside the White House or your own hotel.

Online Tracking is Out of Control—Privacy Badger Can Help You Fight Every time you browse the web, you're being tracked. That’s why EFF created Privacy Badger, a free, open source browser extension used by millions to fight corporate surveillance and take back

Texas House issues arrest warrants for Democrats who left state to block congressional redistricting The warrants apply only within state lines, making them largely symbolic as most of the legislators in question decamped to Illinois, New York and Massachusetts.

Following up on our last post, things are getting more crazy by the day. Using federal law enforcement to go after your political opponents isn’t democracy. It’s authoritarianism. Call it what it is fascism.

All the best to our friends at @defcon.bsky.social‬ & @why2025.bsky.social‬. The hacker community is our greatest hope. (No pun intended @hope.net)

Opened up Instagram to see a number of friends clustered in Las Vegas.

This is a problem. No, not because Sin City. Because Instagram apparently opted in everyone.
