@tarah@infosec.exchangeSecurityWeek did one of their CISO Conversations pieces on me. Highlights include getting compared to being mugged by my own career and admitting I fail on purpose about 70% of the time. Also some actual substance in there about why we don't have real incident statistics in this industry and why that's a bigger problem than any single breach.

@inthehands@hachyderm.ioIn classrooms and public events and private conversations, my campus regularly facilitates discussion (often heated) about the virtues and dangers of capitalism and Marxism and every economic theory you can think of, about human rights and AI and abortion access and data centers and civil wars and genocide and myriad other subjects of •extreme• controversy.
We do not, however, make space for and amplify people who believe the Earth is flat, because that would be a f***ing waste of time.
