Across Colorado, people are fighting for the right to repair their stuff. Where can they go to learn how to do it?

"Trump on Friday fired all 24 members of the National Science Board (NSB), the body that oversees the National Science Foundation (NSF). Many science advocates see it as the latest step by his administration to erode—some would say destroy—the independence of the 76-year-old research agency."
Quite likely, the board will be replaced by loyalists. Even if not, the WH will decide which "science" gets funded and which orgs get the funding.

This is a much bigger deal than anything that happened at that hotel tonight.
Mythos, about two weeks later:
1. Linux Kernel maintainers show leadership again, and remove older code, supporting technologies like PCMCIA, reducing attack surface, reprioritizing instead of just trying to patch more. We should learn from them.
2. Firefox is patching 271 vulnerabilities discovered with Mythos, and there’s endless analysis on how these aren’t “real”. The data isn’t out there to be able to tell, but even if these are just primitives supporting multi stage exploitation, chaining bugs together - why not? It’s a new world with new remediation expectations. Firefox will release a blog answering community questions.
3. OpenAI released GPT 5.5, which is definitely a move up in capabilities from previous models. We don’t fully know what Mythos can do, but if it hasn’t been matched, it would be very soon. No matter that previous models were already quite capable. Now, let’s wait for the open models to catch up, in… months?
4. CISOs have been briefing boards and risk committees, and the “building a Mythos security program” paper still proves to be solid. Amazing what 250 CISOs working together over 72 hours can achieve by using Google Docs commenting. Thank you again for your trust, allowing me to herd cats on the project along with Rich Mogull and Rob T. Lee.
We live in one of the most interesting eras of history.

And of course, if you look to discover or secure agents, coding assistants, their supply chain (MCP, skills, etc.) or secure AI code, do drop me a line, or check out what we do at Knostic.
Okay. Let’s try this again a year and a half later. Just because it’s one of the most frustrating social media moments in my life.
Can I say, “that looked kinda staged” this time without being told to wait for official investigation and watch my tone?
@hacks4pancakes You mean that the dinner that Trump has historically avoided (after having a national sense of humour failure at one many years ago) just happened to be interrupted / he could get rushed away from...
By an "assassination attempt" - which is a well-known tactic by certain foreign actors to increase support for failing politicians prior to a notable election - which happens in a location / way that can be used as supposed-justification for one of his gaudy vanity projects?
What was on the menu for the dinner? Because something definitely smells fishy.
