Yeah, I've been pretty specific about calling it just "Asset Management" or "Technology Asset Management" when addressing it with my clients. It's also not even a cyber security issue at it's core! It's an IT/governance function!

I haven't read Ruskin, so I'll add that to the list. Your argument here is that the difference between art and tool is nothing?

I don't think this is true. People read books for intellectual or artistic pursuits, people use machines for functions. I don't care if my car was made by machines because I use it to drive (function). I care deeply about who wrote books because I want to understand other perspectives.

It's true, I was in the signal chat where he said he was going to do it.

First date is graffiti, gotta find out if your art styles are compatible.

If you'd like to continue tone policing please do, but the idea that i'm punching down or support state fascism is ridiculous. I also laugh when I warn someone that a floor is slippery, they ignore me, and fall down. Is that punching down?

Where did I support that idea? I'm laughing at a real thing that happened to a real asshole. Would it be better if it never happened? Yes, but I don't have that choice. This is completely and totally out of my control. So I'll laugh at an asshole receiving consequences of their own decisions.

Nobody said they were alright with fascism dipshit. Do you think before you say words or does whatever dumb shit comes to mind just spew out as it happens? Laughing at a fascist getting the consequences of their own actions doesn't mean anyone *approves* that this is life now.

I'm curious how those online betting sites that took odds on how long the tariffs would last are dealing with this. Admittedly not enough to go check though.

Honestly it's something I'm personally struggling with. I'm not able to publicly support Krebs for several different reasons that would terminate my employment at a time I can't afford that. I also feel like a bad person for not speaking up. This fucking blows.

Liberation Monday. Words don't have meaning anymore, so might as well keep the name consistent with the original announcement.
