I wish I could get more people to realize that every time you consume information from the news and ANY online source, and feel negative feelings like fear, anger, disgust, etc. and immediately think that people on the other side of politics are (insert nasty names here), you’re being manipulated!

The media and social media influencers profit only when they can drive engagement by shock and emotional manipulation.

Both sides of the political spectrum are being influenced by half truths and outright lies. It’s only going to get worse as AI makes it easier to manufacture “truth”, or uses skewed information and quotes it as fact. X’s Grok is a great example. After the Texas flood it incorrectly stated that government funding being cut was responsible for the loss of life, before people had to inform Grok of updated information that proved that the weather service was actually overmanned and sent out alerts and warnings of the flooding in advance.

It’s amazing to me how many highly intelligent people are easily emotionally manipulated because they don’t question the information they consume.

And you’re reading this right now thinking that it’s the other side, not you, that’s been manipulated. Yes, it’s you too! You have zero ability to resist being manipulated when it’s delivered via the dopamine drip in your hand.

Open your eyes. Get in the habit of being suspicious any time you feel an emotional reaction to news and social media. The truth is really hard to find and you’ll have to stop using only sources that agree with your world view.

@cyph88 @MicahPW20 @GarandThumb1 They’re using fiber optic cables in Ukraine to avoid jammers.

After reading far too many comments on Reddit, I’ve come to the conclusion that at least half of all users have some form of mental illness or defect. Example: report says jury found no scheme to defraud yet the thread is filled with calls to prosecute because it’s Elon.

Are your AI agents choking on massive HTTP responses when analyzing Burp Suite data via MCP? 🛑 BurpQL fixes this by providing compact, metadata-first search results and built-in recon commands to save your context window.

@moneyjumpscare @SecVetAffairs You’re full of shit. I’m a 70 percent disabled veteran with real physical limitations from the damage. Vets are not getting 100 percent for stress fractures alone. Maybe in combination with other injuries.

[Steve Campbell @lpha3ch0]

@Justino_Manzana @braxton_mccoy That’s bullshit or at least a gross exaggeration. I’m 70 percent disabled and have real physical limitations from the damage and I don’t make that much in disability.

@HackingDave Have you tried https://t.co/6auH5qVudh? A terminal with AI agents built in. You can “warpify” ssh sessions to run agents in remote systems. Also has a cloud agent, “oz”. It’s the best agent I’ve found at running terminal programs, and you can take and give back control at will.

@SNAFU_Sara Sometimes. But they can also worsen sleep if the mask doesn’t fit well or facial hair interferes with the seal. I don’t use one anymore but I used to wake up with air hissing last my ear or with my throat as dry as cotton and gagging.

@eh_pavan @CaidoIO You already can. It’s been that way for a very long time. Read the documentation.

@Behi_Sec HTTP Request Smuggling. While I understand the basic concepts, applying them is a different story.

@0xTriboulet I'm moving to my new account at @cylentsec, BTW. This account will go dark after a while. I wanted to stop mixing the personal and professional here to be better able to filter out all the politics and other BS.

I'm starting to remember why I disliked sharing tools and methodology, and recording videos to share. There's always someone ready to shit on whatever you have to say.

If your new-year's goal is to learn reverse engineering and exploit development and publish CVE, check out https://t.co/hV0wbetTWQ. It's an excellent learning resource. It has it all: video lessons, interactive lab exercises, CTF, and it's free!

@HackingLZ @coffinxp7 That’s exactly what I thought certstream does!

I recently discovered the Yazi file manager and it’s freakin awesome. As amazing as it is on first discovery, dig a little deeper into the hotkeys and what they can do and you’ll be amazed. https://t.co/JKuz086aoU

@SenRandPaul I'm sure we could find a way to fully fund it without raising the age if the government stopped wasting our money. Take a hard look at the NGO's siphoning off the federal budget. Continue the DOGE cuts.
