Keep doing you. Keep helping. Keep striving to be better. Keep standing up for those who can't, whether they can see you or not. IMHO, you never accomplish anything alone. You didn't get there alone. At the same time, know you will forever be standing alone. Make peace with it. Cheers 🍻
💡 Here's the thing about out performing everyone in every job you've ever had: You're an a**hole. You can be polite, giving, humble, compassionate, volunteer your time & own money & have an unrivaled passion for helping others. Doesn't matter. Still an a**hole 'cause they could've done it too. 🙄

Robert E. Lee was a traitorous prick consumed with power & destroying our democracy, just like Trump.
"He says", not every legitimate statistical source including the DOJ, this is just his opinion...which happens to match the statical data, but we're afraid of the orange asshat. And that's the way it is, as Cronkite might say. Would say. Would point at you, call you out by name and say, even.
This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.
Here's hoping it includes a clause preventing convicted felons from running for President. 🤞
I get it, trust me. Left myself until Office 365 (M365) was released. Immediately went back. Minimizing data silos, standardized security, cross-tool integration, enterprise search, Copilot's Agentic RAG AI & more all for peanuts, really. I'm not affiliated & really don't care, just sayin'. 🌐
CNN after a nuclear bomb drops on LA: "Some people don't like that Trump deployed a nuclear bomb to fight homelessness. It could be a gross misuse of his authority, and some say maybe a crime." 🙄
Cracking down on historically low levels of crime is simply performance theater propaganda. 🎭 Using our military to fight crime is against everything our country stands for. Invading cities because of their political affiliation is straight up hate & intimidation 101. Sincerely, Cpt. Obvious 🇺🇸
Oh snap! 💥 He's not happy about the war, at all, now! This is getting serious. People are dying, yes, but it has never affected his golf ⛳ game until recently, when he accidentally had a thought about it while his caddy moved his ball to a better position.
Millions will loose ACCESS to education, states will have vastly different curriculums, private schools will squander tax payer money, and special needs will be left behind. Public education will be decimated. But, I was told kids would have A1 sauce in every class. That means steak for lunch! 🙄
I'm beginning to think the Smoot-Hawley tariff act was a bad idea too, with it facilitating The Great Depression. Maybe. I don't know, still on the fence. I mean, people lost everything but it did make them appreciate things more. Food, water, shelter, health. So there's that. So perplexing.
Here are a few I'm not even sure my son knows about: ⚜ I was a Cub Scout & Boy Scout for a couple years ea. 🪖 I began repelling & cold weather survival training at 11 w/a former U.S. Army Ranger. ⛑ I was a founding member of the region's first volunteer cliff-side rescue team at 14. Who knew🤷♂️
IMHO, there is no value obtained from anonymity in social media. How valuable is it if someone anonymously emails, texts, or calls? Or if a stranger screams nonsense in the middle of a public square? I disagree with their law & any state law like it. I think it's an international/global issue...
❓Anyone want to hear me ramble about Agentic RAG AI enterprise solutions? No, great. Here we go. When considering them, be sure to consider the one you already have and don't know enough about. Got that one from a little birdie. 🐦
Not everyone can afford a lavish bathroom at a resort to "secure" their documents inside of cardboard boxes.
For over 10 years I was the single largest contributor providing answers & support to law enforcement on an international Forensic related email list. So much so that when I showed up to assist an agency or teach, strangers wanted to shake my hand & thank "that listserv guy". ☺️😎
Just think Adam, AI can do everything you mentioned before lunch, not get tired, brag or complain about it. 😔 May the force be with you, Padawan.
If anyone knows fraud, it's a 34 time convicted felon who has been sued for fraud more than most over the years. By our own country, even. Odd that he's so certain without any evidence, but probably nothing to be concerned about until they come after you without any evidence. Good luck 👍
If anyone from New York or California moves to Oklahoma, they have bigger problems than Oklahoma's ignorant ideologies. I can only assume some sort of physical head trauma. 🤷♂️
🇺🇸 And a few weird things from my military service: 🪂 US & Australian jump wings (should've been awarded Canadian as well). 💣 Can I throw a live hand grenade wearing a leg cast? Yes. 🥾 Can I ruck through muck wearing a 35lb ruck for 12 miles w/a leg cast? Also yes. 50lb+ was a norm in commo. 😎
Program Director went through the roof shouting at me when I got in. 😖 When I left his office the station owner stepped out of his, came up to me and said... "That was the best damn marketing we've had in a long time! Let me take you to lunch." 😳😎
Few minutes backstage chit chatting, then right out to intro them & start the show. Intro'd each but kept going back out in the audience to enjoy, as usual. Awesome show. Next day the station is absolutely flooded with phone calls about that a-hole in the Jeep. 😳
🧵 Cranberries & Dave Mathews outdoor concert, mid 90's, I'm late and supposed to intro the bands. Traffic backed up for miles, I'm in a bright yellow Jeep w/our station logo going in the median, down the shoulder, whatever. People honking, waving, screaming & flipping the bird. But I made it.
Donated my web dev services to a non-profit for over 7 years. They decided to contract for the services & paid another dev over $900/mo. Couple years later they came & asked if I could do it for $500/mo. I did, for a few years. I'm greedy like that. 😔
Actually, admonished, then they threatened to bill the non-profit I had been traveling to assist. 😳 "Nah, I got this boss, I'll pay for it."
Mathematically Challenged A company I worked for use to reimburse up to $50/day for meals when traveling. As always, I rarely claimed anything. I decided to claim a single $60 meal, which was a business meal at a steakhhouse during a week long trip. Rejected & admonished for my wastefullness. 🤷♂️
By boring & mundane I mean a lot of it was spent in rooms with no windows, professionally. Rooms all over the U.S., Canada, United Kingdom, Southeast Asia, Asia. Very few windows.
🌐 Remember that time I selfishly created a free online resource for law enforcement, which helped expedite & often solve literally tens of thousands of criminal investigations around the world over the years? For a few years I tried subscriptions to cover my costs. 😖 I can be such an ass.
I've lived a boring, mundane life, obviously. Someday I wanna help people. "In appreciation for your many years of support and service to the FBI and Southern Tier Cyber Predator Task Force. Your professionalism, passion, and tireless work ethic will serve you well in your future endeavors." 🤷♂️😎
Pre-order, coming Sept 9th. (I'm not affiliated) Of course, if you're not into humanity, there's always Musk, Bezos, Cuban, and Altman to listen to. Cheers. 😎
Vouchers = Tax dollars > private schools > private school administrator's friends & family. 🇺🇸 We call it "Trumpanomics". It's sweeping the country & is all the rage for greedy, self-righteous fools everywhere.
Back in my local govt days... "The entire county relied on Larry Compton. Larry’s help and kindness to everyone spoke volumes about the kind of person he is." "In my humble opinion, you are, by far, the brightest person and most resourceful asset the County has (quite possibly has ever had)" 🤷♂️😎
@timbl.bsky.social Pre-ordered. Thanks for all you do. Safe travels, Sir! All the very best, always.
Do what you do because that's who you are or want to be. If it's easy, you're probably not doing the right thing. You went after your Ph.D. and that seems to have worked out okay. Keep doing you & whatever it is that you love.
Not a single mention of the fact that AI is analyzing a voice recording, not just generating an AI report. Zero statistics regarding analyzing that accuracy is a concern, for sure. The other concerns you mention are all generative AI from text prompt related issues & statistics. Barely related.
Starting in "his state" makes sense, unless you've graduated elementary school. Then you might consider where the problem actually started, by whom, & for what purpose, then work to stop it there. Ignore those facts & their impact on our nation, then you're either incompetent, a fool, or corrupt.
Two incompetent, morally bankrupt billionaire narcissists walk into a bar. They say to each other "I want your money & influence!" Then they both laugh and keep f*cking over humanity. The end.
Back when WAP was being first rolled out it was all the rage. Dumb, but the bandwagon was moving & folks were afraid NOT to jump on. Asked @timbl.bsky.social about it at an event & was not surprised he agreed with me. He also explained why to all of the attendees. Legend...wait for it...dary. ☺
"The U.S. is uncertain"? Nah player, Trump & his hate-filled allies are unhinged and uncertain. You apparently don't know wtf the U.S even is if you're uncertain in our role.
Awesome 👌. Good to know I've paid more in federal income taxes than SpaceX or Trump in the last 20 years. Seems appropriate. Also, Mark Cuban thinks billionaires & corporations should be incentivized to help the poor, because why else do it? America has lost it's damn mind on these fools.
Only 33 more felonies to go and he could be President!
Do spend as much time & resources as need to figure out that we already have geographical boundaries called counties. Look it up.
So intelligent & righteous. I wish I spent my life protecting the environment against renewable energy sources. Genius. BTW, you don't have to travel very far in central Oregon to bump into batsh*t crazy "I'm better than you" Trump supporters. Hell, you don't even need a car, gas or electric.
"Built for any planet"...but none of the others wanted them either. An insurance carrier's nightmare that is on pace to sell less than half the units of the AMC Pacer in 5 years, if it remains in production that long. Elon did outsell that Tucker mother trucker though, so there's that. 🤷♂️
I'm guessing you're under 30. Never experienced new, "world-changing" technology implementations before. I have. Several. It's okay to be ignorant, there's just no need for fear mongering. AI has created jobs too, just so you know.
Traded in my Palm Pilot & cellphone for my first smartphone in 2001. Kyocera QCP 6035. If you ask Google Gemini to list some of the first smartphones in the U.S., it's not even mentioned. 🤷♂️ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyocera...
And technically, if you drop the touchscreen requirement, a ruggedized wireless Harris device that used stylus input well over 10 years before that. ☺
What's wrong with this question: "Was your first tablet an iPad or an Android-based tablet?" Windows XP, about 10 years before either of those existed. 😜
"It's not down for people who are suffering violent crime." 🤣 Except statistically, but for someone who has never been violently attacked before it's up 100%!
Makes sense, since Republicans absolutely suck at creating jobs when compared to Democrat administrations over the last 30+ years. Why keep pointing it out. 50+ million jobs created under Democrats compared to 1+ million under Republicans. Republican job numbers suck no matter how look at them.
Equivalent to the child throwing a tantrum in the middle of the grocery store. What a loser. All that money, all that privilege, still crying cause life just isn't fair. 🖕
Very impressive 👏. I hope each does more for humanity than they do for investors. Yes, the likelihood of them even trying is the same as winning the Powerball jackpot. So excited for humanity when I read about overly funded fools, most of whom so full of themselves already...for raising money. 🙄
Trump & Nvidia's CEO both understand pay-to-play. Kudos. This should help cover the costs of gold trim & spinners for the beast, hopefully. 🤞
D.C. is under attack by the convicted felon in the White House. 🇺🇸
www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/v...
Putin is only a war criminal if Trump says so. The ICC is moot when you're a fascist fool. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...
"America first" ideology does have a long history in 🇺🇸. Spearheaded by the likes of Henry Ford, Charles Lindbergh, and Fritz Kuhn "The American führer". Trump would've loved those guys. Ignorant, hateful traitors, everyone of them. www.pbs.org/video/nazi-t...
What a novel idea, the White House "considering" inviting the leader of the country that was invaded to the peace talks. ✌ Very classy. Please don't be upset if Zelensky doesn't show up with a few gold bars, as seems the custom these days, to show his appreciation.
I don’t know who needs to hear this but the Confederates were traitors.
The United States would not exist if George Washington hadn’t ordered his troops to be vaccinated. We have spiraled back 250 years.
I've been there a few times to teach Singapore & Malaysian law enforcement. Highly recommend visiting, if you haven't. Super clean & safe downtown, tons of shopping. One of the world's best breakfast buffets at the Marriott too. 😎
Here's a story on how helping the poor is f*cking useless. - Sponsored by President Trump 👏 I swear one of those toys where you have to fit the blocks in their correctly shaped holes would baffle these "reporters".
How does one turn a state that is a sinkhole for Federal tax dollars into an even more hateful sh*t stain on our country? Vote for Blackburn. 🙄
Wonder why they didn't go with "Treblinka 2.0"? 🤔
The White House wants a new Golden swim spa. Pony up, bitches.
Has anyone asked Mexico what they'd give us for that sh*t hole of a state? All Texas Republicans & diarrhea of the mouth idiots like Joe Rogan could be included for one low cost. Valid only if they keep all of those above for at least 50 years. No returns.

So happy to hear. I was beginning to worry we were running low on future authoritarian narcissistic tech entrepreneur a**holes. Good to know San Francisco is looking out for us.
The former moderate Republican who turned to Trumpism in an effort to leave obscurity behind & win influence, hopes to bring her special kind of arrogant, hateful ignorance into the race for Governor. So exciting. Grab the 🍿 folks. 🙄
Awesome, to hell with judges, they never let you illegally f*ck over shareholders. I don't have time to read this one, but I'm sure Elon will pay it forward & donate all $29 billion to charity. 🙄
I'm pretty sure there was an important reason, like summer camp with their pedophile friends or something.
You can't just go around sharing facts if you're in the Trump administration, even if that's your job, as facts are the enemy of those who are, in fact, sh*tty people with selfish intentions.
If you aren't willing to lie repeatedly on national TV to support Trump's version of reality, you will never be a U.S. Attorney in this administration. You damn sure won't be handling economic, labor, education, national debt, environmental, legal or tarrif related statistics either, silly.
Thought with the recent jobs report & chaos that I'd share this reminder...
Of course he is. If federal employees keep sharing facts about the economy he's created, they're obviously the enemy & need to go. They don't understand. He knows more than everyone AND has never once been wrong. Not even his shitty golf game is his fault. ⛳
Some are going to have to suffer to make 🇺🇸 great. Like McCarthy convincing Hoover to use the military against peaceful WWI veterans protesting in D.C. during The Great Depression. They suffered through war, lost their homes, then were cheated & attacked by their own government. We're GREAT!
Sure there is. It could go on right after his foundation. I don't even know makeup & I know that.
Peter, you classless zealot, Donald can't even spell economics. How about we give him a Golden Dunce Cap?
It's okay, they're pretty far away. If you just don't think about it or go there you can focus on more important issues like infrastructure, such as Golden ballrooms.
That's complete bullsh*t. How the hell are you going to pay for a $200 million dollar golden ballroom if you don't starve children? Besides, if they're so hungry they can apply to work at Mar-a-Lago's spa.
Trump asked Russia to find Clinton’s emails. On or around the same day, Russians targeted her accounts | PBS News share.google/O2OHUBXImHNO...
That's what they get for not donating a plane or several million dollars to build Trump's new Golden Ballroom & Spa.🙄
Well, I would imagine at that price it will also have a spa for guests. My advice, if you're over 15 with a valid work permit, do NOT apply to work there. Just sayin'.
"Don't think we won't charge ourselves 50% more if you don't come to the table & make it look like we agreed within the next 90 days, because we will and there will be zero trade consequences for you! 90 days. Maybe 180, if you need it. Let us know what you're thinking."🙄
Common side effect of only eating cats & dogs.
Court says he's not allowed to defraud Medicare out of hundreds of millions, and now he can't cheat at stocks? WTF is a corrupt, self-serving a**hole in an elected position supposed to do, serve the people? That just doesn't compute for slick Rick. He'll surely figure another way to cheat.
Rewriting history is exactly what hateful, self-serving, authoritarian a**holes try to do each & every day. Trump and his zealots are just following the "How to be a dictator when you have a small penis" playbook.
To be clear, I care, but I'm not here to seek anyone's approval, follows or likes. Also, that last thing wasn't just in NY, as I worked local, state & federal cases from all over the NE. Left NY to spend the next 15yrs working cases, teaching & assisting law enforcement from all over the world.😎
Poor Emil was "the target" of three whistleblowers. 😢 If not for his history of lying and unethical behavior he may never have been confirmed under this administration.
"We were entirely surprised when our hateful, racist ideology actually impacted us, of all people."
You don't, you take a break. Step back. Focus on improving the lives of those closest to you each & every day. Get a few more wins like that under your belt, then ease back into the kaos. It'll always be there. Godspeed.
💰 Literally saved tax payers in NY state millions of dollars. 🌐 Vital to broadband & wireless deployment in upstate NY in the late 90s & early 2000s. 👮♂️Helped pioneer computer/digital forensic child sexual assault investigations, cellphone & video forensics in NY. To name a few. You're welcome. 😎
Also, feel free to discrimate & professionally retaliate against those who don't participate in your self-righteous religious fantasies. The only way to get through to people not like you is to hate 'em. 🇺🇸
Here's hoping Jizzy is exclusively fed expired cottage cheese & water for the rest of her incarceration. 🤞
Sorry, Jizzy. Your boyfriend made a backdoor (no pun intended) deal with a couple of Trump zealots that was never approved by victims of your admitted crimes. Not to mention your pension for lying to authorities, which also typically violates these types of agreements. So sad for you.😔
Even if that was the average IQ there, Trump has proven an IQ above 50 is all you need to be President, so don't let it get you down. Plus, I know a few legitimate geniuses that are complete sacks of sh*t morally, so there's that.
📣 Great news everyone! US importers & companies will now pay 15% more for products from the 27 countries in the EU! It was a hard fought win in a battle against ourselves. At times we would of been paying an extra 30% or more, but Trump saved us from his own stupidity. Woot, woot. 🙄
