"A security researcher uncovered a Twitter vulnerability in its link shortener. The vulnerability allowed an attacker to craft a malicious URL that, if a user clicked on it, would grant the attacker access to the user's account. The researcher reported the vulnerability to Twitter's bug bounty program, which closed the report as not worthy of a bug bounty. So the researcher published the vulnerability. Immediately Twitter takes its link shortener offline for hours while they fix it.But the press is only reporting on an hours-long X/Twitter link shortener outage, and has completely missed the security issues that led to it.Molly White's coverage of the vulnerability (sorry for the Xitter link but that's just the problem, literally no one else is covering this): https://twitter.com/molly0xFFF/status/1734965774517768471 "

Funny story about that!
That man had the stinkiest shits in the universe. His diet of grease and red meat really made itself known. One of my most vivid memories of the early days of Netscape was walking toward the bathroom and seeing one of my coworkers coming the other way, holding his nose.
"Captain's Log", he warned.
@roygreenhilt I really think this becomes clearer if we keep in mind that the original slogan was not “honk if you love Jesus” but “HONK IF YOU’RE HORNY”.
That version of the bumper sticker is obviously a joke, and it’s actually meant to *discourage* you from honking at the car in front of you, by planting the idea in your head that honking at them will communicate to other people that you’re horny.
(It’s also, maybe not coincidentally, a pun — honking is a “horn-y” thing to do)
Noting that the 1912 ocean liner that sank was named "Titanic", and the submersible they built to visit the wreck was named "Titan":
Greek legend holds that the Titans waged war against Olympus, and when they lost, the Olympian gods cast them into the depths of Tartarus as punishment. I imagine they'd take a dim view of mortals invoking their name on foolhardy trips to plumb the dark reaches of the sea.
