Lawfare Media recovered 5,772 pages deleted from the Department of Justice website related to the Jan 6 attack on the US Capitol. They built a standalone archival viewer of the extracted content that links back to the Wayback Machine:

(sadly the github repo looks private)

A Lawfare reconstruction of deleted Justice Department and FBI records.

I’ve mentioned this before: this is one of the oncoming trains for corp-security. We’ve long failed at least-privilege, but weren’t often punished for it.

Helen in HR (or Bob in accounts) didn’t know what to do with the extra perms they didn’t know they had.

Their agents will.

COSMIC Frosted Glass is getting closer. The effect is subtle by default but can get very glassy if that's your thing. Or turn the effect off all together. Toggles and sliders in Settings fine tune the look to the style you want.

A blocked road that made the news because someone had to be airlifted to the hospital, no less.

@NikaShilobod tipped me off to Aer Lingus having better cabin service than British Airways. Aer Lingus just started offering direct flights between PIT and DUB. They don't have direct flights to the UK, but it's a quick hop to the UK from Dublin.

Plus, when you go home, Dublin Airport has a US Preclearance facility so you don't have to go through customs and immigration when you land back in the states.

Moreover, three different flight trackers had different departure times. Granted, within 20 minutes of each other. She made the gate with 2 minutes to spare before the doors would shut for the latest of the three times. The plane and the gate agent were gone.

I think the flight left on time instead of as delayed.

I'm really disgusted with #BritishAirways' treatment of my crying sister-in-law who missed a flight for the first time ever, because of a road *blocked* for an hour.

No consolation, no offer to help rebook, no humanity or empathy shown in person or on the phone.

They've lost more than one customer because of how they handled it, even if it's ultimately her fault for not being able to get to the airport.

It's a highway, highway to the dark
And a neon medusa's got your heart
Sweet canyon lullabies
Don't look straight into its eyes
It's a highway, highway to the dark
