Next step, flat Earth exhibit, how people used to ride dinosaurs, etc...

Hormuz strait is being renamed Schrodinger's strait: It's always open and closed at the same time.

A honeytoken fires when someone reaches for what they shouldn't, which makes the alerts high-signal. To get the most of them, decide on the best locations, such as decoy MCP entries, fake AWS keys, and Cloudflare Workers serving fake admin pages. https://zeltser.com/plant-honeytokens

We've been trying these short videos at @prophetsecurity.bsky.social ; do you like the format? any suggestions? youtube.com/shorts/mB65U...

Fringe theory that could have amazing/terrifying implications: What if Satoshi is actually a North Korea creation?

With all those new treatments that deliver miraculous results on mice, I guess a mouse’s life expectancy is around 200 years now

What were they expecting to find that was used in a shooting?

I guess they are too busy letting the scalpers in to allow me to buy a pair of tickets :-(

Go Blue Jays!! 🐦🇨🇦

My dog's health insurance is getting 30% more expensive; I don't understand, she lives with me in Canada, not in the US

All but one of the Brazilian presidents from the last 20 years have been arrested at some point (considering Bolsonaro is about to get into that club). The only one who hasn't been arrested was the one who got impeached. As people there say, Brazil is not for amateurs.

I suspect my kids have a side business selling the charging cables they steal from me.

I've just found an amazing resource to tackle quackery and pseudoscience (especially about eating habits): www.mcgill.ca/oss/

This is genius :-)

I see a hymn book in the church called "Behold the Lamb" and think "What a great name for a restaurant!" - I guess that's why I don't come to these places often

Sunday morning pre-RSA, my Garmin body battery is at 24 at 9am...ugh

Whatsapp now has a transcribe feature for voice messages; THANKS AI GODS FOR SAVING ME FROM PERNOSTIC PEOPLE!!

For those reading about the "great" 120 hours weeks by the DOGE bros...yes, there is another way of living, and it works www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Carney orders review of F-35 fighter jet purchase from U.S.’s Lockheed Martin

Some good news, for a change

Did the call screening feature disappear from anyone's Pixel after this week's update?

This is scary, hilarious, yet I find myself thinking "oh, this would be useful...". I've always been bad at taking notes of important things, and something like this seems to be a good solution, but this piece is the perfect "what could go wrong" scenario www.theverge.com/reviews/6270...

My first job was at the helpdesk. It really helped me in many ways, from learning how to troubleshoot better to talking to people at their highest levels of anger and frustration. It's a valuable experience and I'm happy I was able to live it.

The irony is the excessive focus on the whole civilization instead of individuals (make humanity interplanetary, fix global warming by electrifying transportation) is what makes Musk, this symbol of capitalism and meritocracy, so close to the Communist philosophy

Seeing the "Emperor's new clothes" story happening in real life is amazingly entertaining

Wasn't the whole thing about Fentanyl? What do banks have to do with it?

Most SIEM replacement pitches are based on straw man arguments.

Check how DeepSeek censorship "jumps in" to block a response that links Salt Typhoon to Chinese state-sponsored groups

This is a beautiful idea and should be further explored!

Here we go, four more years explaining to CBP agents why I need to attend a conference to deliver a talk, and why it cannot be one of my US-based colleagues instead. :-(

The last 4 paragraphs from this text by Sam Harris are all that should be said about Elon Musk: samharris.substack.com/p/the-troubl...

This is probably the best thing that could happen in their lives

It looks like the right answer to the "Can the government read my texts?" question should be "Which government?"

With interest rate drops and the economy optimism around Trump's administration I can see a lot of people going heavy into the stock market... exactly at the point when a big crash is expected; it will be quite ugly

Someone tell Assad to pick a lower floor with no windows while staying in Moscow

And all that with those pesky vaccines causing harm! :-P

I was scrolling X this morning: Taking fluoride out of water, vaccines kill, communist conspiracies are everywhere...I'm done. Leaving account there as a placeholder, but this is my new microblogging home now
