On the way to fly to Washington D.C. to launch the #DEFCON Franklin “Hackers Almanac” and I passed by about $170,000 SGD of #Whisky at the airport. 😅
I wonder if anyone ever buys them.

Are you saying I need to my lower my expectations for the open bar at the event?

Sadly there are people cheering this on.

I made the mistake of checking Nextdoor the other day (in Texas). eugh

MAGA Feeding Frenzy Has Caused a Constitutional Crisis

The assault is coming from different angles: Project 2025. The feudal tech barons. The America First nativists. It’s not a single master plan – it’s comprehensive chaos.

I don’t think any of this is sustainable as a governing strategy – or even as a long-term strategy to integrate the different MAGA factions. It works right now because they all feel a sense of radical excitement and euphoria. But the insurgency will inevitably slow down, there will be setbacks.
in reply to Thomas Zimmer

Right now, however, this feeding frenzy is unleashing an incredibly destructive potential. Unless it is stopped very soon, it will do severe – and potentially irreparable – harm to both the system of constitutional government and the civil rights order.

The crisis is here.

Getting nuts over at the FBI. Trump is apparently firing thousands of agents, not all of whom even worked on his prosecutions or Jan.6 cases.

The real kicker is all the resignations and retirements of agents that don't get fired, but won't want to deal with four more years of this shit. We're about to get a smaller and less efficient FBI. Can't wait!

Here's the talk I gave at FOSDEM this weekend. It's about my social bookmarking platform Postmarks, the crisis of confidence I had after its initial release, and the fatigue I feel with what I'm calling the "flattened web". motd.co/2025/02/fosdem-2025-po…
