I will legalize recreational marijuana, break down unjust legal barriers, and create opportunities for all Americans to succeed in this new industry.

[Tom Winter @Tom_Winter]

NEW: The FBI, ODNI, and CISA say two videos spread online -- one purporting to show a man from Haiti voting illegally in Georgia and one accusing someone associated with Harris' ticket of taking a bribe from a U.S. entertainer -- are fake. And they say they were made by Russia.

"Ghost job" listings are far more common than you might have guessed. This is just sickening behavior. We need regulations on this just like we have for false advertising.

.@MichelleObama: I hope that you will forgive me if I'm a little angry that we are indifferent to Donald Trump’s erratic behavior. His obvious mental decline, his history as a convicted felon, a known slumlord, a predator found liable for sexual abuse. All of this while we pick apart Kamala's answers from interviews that he doesn't even have the courage to do

If you think the CUPS issue is bad, you should hear about when there used to be a limit of 1 CUP for every 2 girls

Google "2 Girls 1 Cup" for more information

An introvert’s worst training day nightmare:

‘Let’s do a fun ice-breaker’
‘Let’s explore that through role-play’
‘Let’s introduce ourselves to the room’
‘I need someone to come to the front…’

Any others?? 😌

DEF CON can officially end now, as @kilograham5 got the original DOOM running - including sound and save game support - on the @defcon badge! It runs at super smooth 50FPS!

@CircuitSwan Wow you are echoing my feelings.

[!Eirick Ⓥ @tyercel]

@AletheDenis @defcon You are just that good...

[⚜️KirstenSireciɹǝuuǝR☠️ Connector | Volunteer @Krenner]

And let's face it if you get one, you need to get his friend WhaleTale at @ICS_Village

So pop on over early this morning to get one from me before I leave to do my talk 1pm

“Good” only means it sucks less than others.

On the hack of the Trump campaign, I’m taking this seriously & have it on good authority it’s the real deal. You should too.

I tend to not comment much these days for various reasons personal & professional, but this is important, I have a bit of relevant insight & experience, & there’s more coming & we need to be prepared for down the road.

You might not like the victim here, but the adversary gives zero Fs who you like or don’t like. They have their own objectives and guess what, you’re the target. Take this seriously.

But also keep in mind that you’re part of the playbook, they want you to either amplify it or doubt it. Take a beat, touch grass as the kids say, & just vote.

American voters decide American elections. Let’s keep it that way.

[DEF CON @defcon]

Responding to the #defcon32 badge controversy:

DEF CON thrives on community collaboration and has operated for over 30 years successfully working with hundreds of vendors including the dozens that have helped with our badges over the years.

For this year’s Raspberry Pi badges, DEF CON hired Entropic Engineering to do the hardware development and firmware. After going overbudget by more than 60%, several bad-faith charges, and with a product still in preproduction, DEF CON issued a stop work order. Any claims that DEF CON did not pay Entropic Engineering for its hardware or firmware development are false. Unfortunately, we heard that these issues with Entropic Engineering were not unique to DEF CON.

We decided at that point to finish the badge on our own. We paid to send engineers to Vietnam to work onsite to finalize and test the badges in order to ensure they would be done on time for the conference. We never removed Entropic Engineering’s logo from our badge, it is still on the PCB. However, Entropic was not involved in the design and production of the case, and we removed their logo we had added as a courtesy.

We were happy to still include one of their contractors on the badge panel session. Unfortunately, shortly before the talk was set to take place DEF CON became aware that unauthorized code had been included in the firmware we had paid Entropic Engineering to produce, claiming credit for the whole badge and promoting their coin wallet to solicit money from DEF CON attendees above and beyond what we had negotiated.

When asked about the unauthorized code, the engineer said it had been done as a “joke” two months ago and forgot to remove it, and we decided as an organization not to have him on stage while we kept the slides in the talk giving him credit for his work.

We communicated the change in advance of the talk, and this individual decided to show up for the panel anyway. He refused to leave, demanding that our security team remove him. Wanting to ensure that the other people involved in creating the badge were able to deliver their presentation, we complied with his wishes and escorted him off the stage, where he was free to continue attending the conference.

Any issues of non-payment are between him and Entropic Engineering, DEF CON fulfilled its financial obligations.
