<p>I'm a retired, General Officer level U.S. Army Intelligence leader who's been in INFOSEC since the 1980s, when it was mostly mainframes & Novell. Certifications came after, when I was off leading in the PSYOP / counternarrative side of IO, so I don't have any & cannot claim to be any sort of technical expert--but I can still (in sha' Allah) talk intelligently with folks who ARE technical experts & help connect such discourse to strategic outcomes.</p><p>I'm also coming onboard as Associate Director of an academic Global & National Security Policy Institute, a Twitter refugee sold on the fediverse as the most resilient architecture to avoid getting co-opted by billionaires or governments, an observant Muslim & aspiring alim, and a senior EDUCATIONA

"It is often said that Infantino is the symptom and Fifa is the disease. In fact Fifa too is the symptom; the disease is capitalistic fascism, a simple disdain for humanity, a belief that some are born to rule and others are bound to follow." #WhatWouldRobespierreDo https://www.theguardian.com/football/2026/aug/05/gianni-infantino-fifa-president-uefa-world-cup

We got our kids a 3D printer last month. Shortly after they started printing stuff, some (but not all 🤔) of the prints started including these small (usually square; occasionally rectangular) "bonus" objects of various sizes, with a distinctive grille pattern. Wasn't sure what they were, so I started stacking them off to the side, in case they were important for some reason. After a couple days, I finally figured out that every time the printer changes filament color during a prin...

Wanted to make sure folks are aware of a great opportunity upcoming for a short dose of timely (inter)national security knowledge that doesn't require travel!

"Progressives hope momentum by Dr. Abdul El-Sayed will give them a signature victory. Centrists warn that picking him will backfire in November." Kinda seems like thats what "centrists" told us right before their wonderful centrist candidates LOST to #AgolfShitler and his stooges in Congress two years ago.... Screw 'em. Nominate a candidate WHO WILL ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING for 'We, the People' instead of our #AmericanOligarchs. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/03/...

It's just a tad disingenuous to automatically classify all these attacks as "antisemitic" during years when The Jewish State™ is COMMITTING A #GENOCIDE while the nations of the world mostly sit back in silence (when theyre not actively serving as #GenocidesBodyguards). SOME people are likely frustrated enough by that to feel like they have to do SOMETHING, striking the most related targets that are within reach. Make no mistake, these attacks are all still #terrorism. They're...

This is just LAYER UPON LAYER of massively inappropriate. (1) A sitting president (2) who was civilly adjudicated a rapist and (3) HAS ALREADY HAD *THAT* judgment upheld by the Supreme Court, (4) is trying to pressure that court into a favorable ruling (5) IN HIS OWN CASE, (6) when he has an established track record of calling down #StochasticTerrorism on officials who refuse to do his bidding. https://www.cnn.com/2026/07/28/politics/trump-supreme-court-e-jean-carroll-83-million-defamation

Saw this from @TheRaDR@mstdn.social the other day--and it's a great reminder that what I've described as the "Classified Annexes" to Project 2025 *explicitly discuss* harvesting government data on Americans with physical, mental, or psychological disabilities to lay the groundwork for the euthanasia of populations seen as "a burden on the taxpayer" -- i.e., on our #AmericanOligarchs and their billions. First, the #TurdReich came for the undocumented immigrants. Then...

From the article: "This isn't fair competition; it's product degradation driven by a small group of self-serving complainants, with European businesses and consumers taking the hit. Regulation should improve products, not make them worse." No, regulation should improve SOCIETY. If your product instead ENSHITTIFIES it for profit, regulation should hold it accountable.
