Hey folks who wants to do some hero shit

I get a lot of joy out of being a compassionate professor. Helping students improve their writing and knowledge is a blessing. My classrooms are happy, fun, at times serious, intense, respectful places of learning. The right will never understand, because for us, teaching is a form of love, not hate

I always carry a mask with me, and there are certain places I wear it every time. But it is time again to be more vigilant.

Let me just remind some people: Christmas with COVID sucks.

if you aren’t super tuned into COVID news it is unlikely you know just how easily the newest variant spreads.

vaccinate. mask. act like it is 2021. or you are probably going to get it. (ask me how i know!)

Holy SHIT they've identified an actual biomarker!!!

I’ve had good experiences with iMazing as well. Did what I needed.

People signing the Global Pledge for Healthy Indoor Air at the UN

Yesterday, history happened at the UN: For the first time hundreds of orgs signed a global pledge declaring that healthy indoor air is a human right.

Healthy indoor air is a key tool for preventing pandemics, building climate resilience, and increasing health equity. We need it everywhere!

“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.”

Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!

Hockey will be here soon; I know I can’t wait!

omg this phone in my office just started ringing and when i picked up some clanker started reading numbers to me?

Unpacking Passkeys Pwned: Possibly the most specious research in decades Researchers take note: When the endpoint is compromised, all bets are off.

I'm here for @dangoodin.bsky.social debunking some wild claims about apparent passkey insecurity made from the Defcon stage, the TL;DR of which is that if your endpoint is compromised, all bets are off arstechnica.com/security/202...

the I Love History is the best sticker for anyone who has actually read history and understands the special flavor of cynicism that comes from focused study of the past…

We were surprised by how funny it was. It was a fun just sit down and chill film.

You know that pasta sauce Galaxy + Gemini ad? It demonstrates something interesting about AI: it is an excellent illustration of the risk of "problem orphaning" with AI. A short thread 1/7

Playoff hockey is so special. Can be absolutely incredible. Caps have looked tough.

It’s that time of year. Makes perfect sense to me.

Another Masterful Gambit: DOGE Moves From Secure, Reliable Tape Archives to Hackable Digital Records DOGE claimed it saved "$1M per year" by converting 14,000 magnetic tapes to digital storage.

it's the big horrible things, but it's also the small stupid shit www.404media.co/doge-gsa-mag...

A hockey game in person is special. Enjoy!

YOU GUYS.

Lesley, What Happened to the “Cybersecurity Skills Shortage”? Are you stressed out right now? I’m stressed out. Most Americans are, and cybersecurity job seekers are definitely not an exception. I do a ton of career mentoring and career clinics, and I s…

Hello friends. The dreaded and long awaiting blog on WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO THE CYBERSECURITY JOBS MARKET has arrived.

I'm sorry.

If "I Forgot My Password" was a person:

A black heather onyx racer back tank top featuring a colorful design of a gray and black long-haired tabby cat with green eyes wearing a very snazzy bandana and a bit of a mischievous smirk. The white hand-lettered text reads "Too ZAZZY for your Dress Code." The background of this circular design is a rainbow spectrum of watercolor overlaid with colored pencil strokes and small stars.

Thanks for doing this. Love seeing Francie and all the cat art! I have a new design, "Too Zazzy for your Dress Code," available on shirts & other items. Shop links are on my website www.lastflyingfox.com & all purchases help with food & vet care for the cats here. 🐾

Thank you for posting this. This is super informative.

being an indie bookseller in the helltimes has felt both very stable and very stabilizing, and part of me wishes everyone could be on my side of the counter for a little while, because I think it would help some of you be a little less cynical and doomy right now. so here is my VERY anecdotal data:

I can usually tell when a company's security team is a bag of ass based on risk questionnaires that are boilerplate and assume you're still running an NT4 domain

I’ve been at this a long time as well and I’m totally fascinated by this questionnaire nonsense.

It makes zero sense. None of these bespoke yet out of date tombs do anything to shine light onto or surface risks of the third and nth parties. Waste of time.
