I just published "A Look at Specific Fraud Claims in the 2020 U.S. Election". I think it's a helpful, fairly quick overview of the claims and their counter-evidence. https://t.co/mmlGcIyEOI

@RepTroyNehls From one infantryman to another, you’re a piece of fucking shit, “sir”.

@FGD135 How’s the senior water aerobics going anyway?

Disaster roleplaying: everyone talks about it, but few really embrace it. It can be hard to get out of our comfort zones and engage in what might seem like a game. Learn approaches and how to get past the roadblocks from @phoebus of @Google at LFI Conf! https://t.co/JsSTpLmZYM

@MaryJMurray7 @JeriLRyan Victim blaming level: expert

[Derek Remund @phoebus]

@PayamMiri @AdamKinzinger That’s not how guns work. If you are shooting a gun at someone it needs to only be if you are justified in using deadly force. “Shooting to wound” and other bullshit like that will *increase* unnecessary deaths.

@Iraqveteran8888 You literally have “8888” in your handle.

@benshapiro Did not go into today expecting to agree with Ben Shapiro…

@LennyDykstra @sofiakinzinger @AdamKinzinger Folks this is what it looks like when someone hasn’t done anything worthwhile since the 80s but is too much of a baby to deal with it.

@CosmosActual @mikesrsic @AndyOstroy Reading your feed makes me sad. It’s hard to fathom how you could be a “professor”, you’ve definitely disgraced yourself as a veteran, from one to another.

@JamesBradleyCA Jesus Christ you are such a little bitch.

[Derek Remund @phoebus]

@lavern_spicer Your party literally set up this process. How much more ignorant can you possibly be?

[Derek Remund @phoebus]

@lavern_spicer No one asked you this. It did not happen.

@nuke83_g @WaifuEliminator @BlizzardCS There certainly are. None of them are perfect. Given that we don’t know much about the attack dynamics (or even if it is one), it’s hard to speculate about what should or shouldn’t be done yet. Even folks like CloudFlare would acknowledge the unique nature of this application.

[Derek Remund @phoebus]

@WaifuEliminator @nuke83_g @BlizzardCS Out of curiosity, can you tell me exactly what steps you’d take to mitigate a large DDoS attack on a stateful, public-facing application within a few minutes of commencement and with no disruption to the user, while maintaining viable economics? If solved you should start a firm.

@DrewHolden360 Please learn what “beg the question” means if you’re going to continue your “journalism” career.

@SteveGuest @davidmweissman @tedcruz Hi Steve: That’s bullshit. You know it, your boss knows it, and this combat veteran knows you’re both cowards.

[Derek Remund @phoebus]

@molly0xFFF This is just about the most anti-journalism tweet you could've mustered.

[Derek Remund @phoebus]

@Hoont I mean by that logic, there are hundreds of millions of guns owned by Americans that aren’t used in mass (or any) shootings.

Maybe we should consider both angles?
