I try to make things and solve problems. I don't always succeed at either. Father. Husband. Runner. Cybersecurity leader. Homebrewer. Carpenter? Best when in that order, but not necessarily always in that order. I look at most people around me in awe - "how do they do all that?" Views are my own.

The picture of President Trump on a giant banner "is reminiscent of portraits of leaders hanging from public buildings, often seen in dictatorships, monarchies, and in descriptions in George Orwell’s 1984 of 'Big Brother.’” - The Independent (UK) https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-banner-portrait-department-agriculture-b2751192.html
‘Deeply creepy’: Enormous brooding banner of Trump now hangs alongside Lincoln outside Department of Agriculture

X users are scoffing at the banner, saying it has a ‘North Korean aesthetic’ and gives off ‘Saddam Hussein vibes’

Black Mirror have a new season coming out with "more tech nightmares". A few years back the show's writers had room, they had time. Today they're competing with next week's news.

Via Angry Staffer:

Couple things on my mind today:

1. Thank you for everyone who knocked doors, donated, wrote postcards, etc.

It might not feel like it today, but you did good.

2. I know folks are going to want to disengage for a bit. That’s OK. Just don’t give up. This fight still matters.

Those of you in a position to donate today, please remember to go directly to the org you want to give to.

Don't use links sent to you in emails or text messages. That helps you avoid scams and ensure your donation gets to the right place.

Running my first race in over 2 years. I’ve been running this entire time, just without the accountability. Time for a change!

Sometimes you get gems from LinkedIn:

From Chris Wysopal:

"It would be interesting to run this analysis across all open source committers. I'm keen to understand if we can root out other backdoors by detecting signals like these learned from the XZ backdoor incident."

THIS!

It's wild to think about how short human history is. For example, the iron age started approximately 1200BC, which means that if you are 32 years old you have been alive for 1% of the time humans have used iron. If you are 54 years old then you have lived through 1% of horses being domesticated, the wheel being used for transport, written language and living in towns. 🤯
