@The_MJF @The_MJF why is it that everyone is allowed to tell Jews what Antisemitism is except for actual Jews like us?

@elonmusk Will one of those dumb things be taking down CC skimmers and accounts pushing cloned cards?

@hacks4pancakes I've been studying Shotokan now for about a year. I ALWAYS feel more comfortable around blackbelts than I do white. Even when I was white. With blacks I knew I wouldn't hurt them and with whites, I would always aim away from their body.

@SwiftOnSecurity It seems to be the trend that security will always be an after thought until a company is forced to co front the gaps either through regulation or event.

I think it's even more true for a f500 company.

Meanwhile Texas politicians and government officials are eating some humble pie.

For giggles I looked at job descriptions. I love how everyone is touting RACF for experience but, not tying it to anything core wise.

Also it's nice to see IAM start to get the attention it deserves. Doesn't hurt that that's what I specialize in for my work place.

Just because I don't want to spend money on making my LinkedIn private doesn't mean I want to accept requests from sales reps and other associates in various marketing positions.

Just read in the news that Godiva is closing their retail chain in the USA. As a result, they're pushing supermarkets and online orders.

Judging from this and other retailers shuttering dur to Covid, will retail last or is it on its last legs?

[Simcha_Neccis @Simcha_Neccis]

@ra6bit @LisaJohnson From what I heard, NH has really botched the response to covid-19. Would you say that's accurate?

[Simcha_Neccis @Simcha_Neccis]

Yesterday was a rather amazing event. What is so striking wasn't the ceremony but rather, how fragile and easy it is to undo an executive order.

The inauguration was pretty spectacular as well!

Well this is horrifying. (thread)

@dvntownsend It also doesn't help that the USA (where I live) is in a major transition period and I got to witness on the new a miniature civil war break out at our seat of government.

[Simcha_Neccis @Simcha_Neccis]

@dvntownsend Hanging in there. I'm fortunate in the fact that I've been working from home since March. Also optimistic because my parents are getting vaccinated next week. Still, like others said, we're not living, we're waiting for life to start back up again.

[Simcha_Neccis @Simcha_Neccis]

Out of curiosity, does anyone know of a news aggregator? Woyld be nice to read everything on one location rather than data scrape the web

[Lesley Carhart @hacks4pancakes]

Oh my god. This is catastrophic.

[Simcha_Neccis @Simcha_Neccis]

@hacks4pancakes We haven't had that problem. Are they real MRE's or are they the camping kind? Where i'm at we can only get the crappy camp kind. Supermarkets are fully stocked though and I haven't seen much in the way of panic shopping.

[Simcha_Neccis @Simcha_Neccis]

@sunmanpatu @hacks4pancakes And therein lays the problem. From what I've read, Trump has suppressed the agencies responsible for protecting the country (DHS) and stacked others with his loyalists (FBI).

I'm hoping that under Biden, this will be cleaned up and these groups will be dismantled.

[Simcha_Neccis @Simcha_Neccis]

You know, it's 2021 already and in the world of tabletop games (Shadowrun and Cyberpunk) we managed to nail the whole dystopian future setting.

Where's all the cool tech though like cybernetics and futurist architecture?

[Simcha_Neccis @Simcha_Neccis]

@dvntownsend Hi Dev,

Doing fairly well actually. My wife and I are forever grateful that we were able to visit you and watch you perform in Boston before Covid hit hard.

In the face of it all, you're one of the few beacons of light out there.
