I wish all the vote-by-mail-is-secure shouters knew something about cybersecurity. 1) A chain is only as strong as its weakest link 2) Never consider a system "secure" 3) Always look for exploits, test-replicate and eliminate them 4) Practice continuous vigilence and awareness

I love the love and humor here. For the wedding speech: “Every day, Twitter has one main character, and your goal is to not be that person.” Merry Christmas to the six year old, mom and dad… and him!

Good test of your filter bubble: The definitive cause of the January Washington DC helicopter/plane collision that killed 67 people has been determined. Do you know what it was found to be?

If you think you know when the FIRST time was that “Scientific” American endorsed a candidate, you’re right. What a joke this publication has become. Just sell to Mother Jones and be done with it already.

A miracle has happened. The NY Times ran an oped acknowledging not only that the covid virus likely originated in a lab, but that government officials and scientists conspired to keep the substantiating evidence secret. The lab leak theory was censored on social media because

Glad you guys are having fun and getting connected! Lots and lots of K-12 kids at schools still have to eat like this in schools. They look thrilled too, don’t you think?

The complete absence of COVID as a topic from the 2024 election is pretty stunning. There are enormous policy questions around response, origin, lab safety, censorship, learning recovery for kids, institutional reform and more. Not a single question at the debates. The

Not enough info. Depends upon cost of goods sold, and whether they reported it to their insurance company. Profit = Revenue minus costs Assuming the perp walked out with the $70 item and the $30, ostensibly it’s $100. But the $70 item didn’t actually -cost- the store $70,

It was NOT a hard call journalistically, nor ethically. Twitter locked the nation's 4th largest circulation newspaper out of its account for weeks. NPR called it "not a story." That utterly blows up already thin public trust, which will long outlast any presidency.

It was pilot error. The pilot happened to be female. The pilot ignored an explicit warning to fly lower, even from her co-pilot, who had more flying hours. Look closely at which news outlets are reporting this accurately, and which are not.
