I want to eat healthier, but I can’t be bothered to do meal planning or cooking because I have very little appetite. So when I actually get hungry, I find the easiest things to open and eat a handful of. Guess what those are? I need to hire someone to plan and cook meals for me, and then TAKE ALL THE LEFTOVERS HOME with them because my kids won’t want them and I can’t eat them more than, like, twice. Just leave me a measuring cup full of whatever it is.

Came home last night from my last business trip of the year to find one kid had purchased and set up a Christmas tree. The other had used up all the toilet paper in my bathroom and not replaced it. I think we all know which one is getting this in their stocking

My last day of work before 3 weeks’ vacation

I’m sitting here between Airport Margaritaville and the restroom, drinking a Starbucks refresher and trying to get up the energy to head to one locale and then the other. I wasn’t planning to do an EOY wrapup, but this seems to be a perfect summary, so here we are.

It is never an answer. It is merely answer-shaped. Grok offered to summarize my 2020 keynote at RSAC on “Democratizing Security,” and I said sure, why not. EVERYTHING in the summary was what other people statistically tend to say on that topic. None of it was what I actually said in the talk. LLMs are there to be plausible, NOT to be correct.

@wendynather use one password to manage all of your accounts. It's risky to have a different password at every site, because you'll forget them.

Because the more different passwords you have, the more likely an attacker is to discover one of them? You’re expanding your attack surface 😜 View quoted note →

Go ahead, quote me! (WRONG TAKES ONLY)

I get the nicest presents. First my own threat actor name from @npub1eznz...nyq3 and now this from @npub1z92f...ve07 💚

Toxic anthropomorphism. That’s what we’re battling here.
