The reason for the #BlackLivesMatter chant/slogan/movement is never more obvious than in a case like that of Ralph Yarl, a teenager who just knocked on the wrong door and was shot twice (he survived)...and the police have released the individual who shot him pending investigation.

When a Black kid can't knock on a door without fear of being shot, even killed, then we need to be able to say *BLACK* lives matter, because it's Black lives on the line daily for no goddamn reason.

If the debt limit isn't raised, a little-known provision of a 1996 law COULD be interpreted to allow the Social Security trust fund to be used to circumvent the debt limit and pay all the government’s otherwise overdue bills.

If that happens, The Social Security trust fund could be exhausted much sooner than projected and that would give more folly to Republicans to try to end Social Security, cut it or privatize it, other reforms to destroy it

Anyone have "vendor can't make payroll because of bank run" in their table top threat exercises?

It should be part of a Disaster Recovery plan for business, but I can see some interesting CyberSecurity angles to it.

Hey so, I’m not a lawyer, but I think this important enough to toot.

If you’re like me and you’re not legally married, and you don’t have much blood family or you’re estranged or your family is found, have a will, and put specific funeral and burial arrangements in legal documents. Even if you’re 30. Even if your partner or found family has complete legal and medical power of attorney already. Be explicit in legally binding writing.

In my state and probably others, POA is basically useless upon death. Unless there is an immediate blood relative there, the state takes over a bunch of funeral decisions and power of attorney means about diddly squat. Just please, do it.

Just posted a new blog on the topic of Passive Information Gathering.

In the post, we explore the various tools and techniques used for gathering information about a target system without directly interacting with it. Check it out to learn more about the power of and the benefits of using a tool like the Netcraft, Whois, and Google Dorking.
