Interesting and fulsome interview on exactly how NORAD reacted to the plane hijacking in Victoria/Vancouver on Tuesday. They speak to the commander of NORAD, currently a Canadian.
I appreciated the last section most though:
“It's the only bi-national command in the world; it's been a strong bi-national command since 1958, and nothing has changed.
We don't ever talk politics at work. It's not something that we do, nor does it affect what we do.
I would say that we are as tight, and probably tighter than we've ever been. As the world around us gets to be more dangerous, I would say that NORAD is even closer than it's ever been.
But one last thing — we have the watch. That's the slogan here for NORAD.
To give you a great example, all of the assessors, we all live on-base in homes that actually have a safe, we call it the SCIF. It's basically a classified room that has all of our systems. The days that you're on duty, you're either at work or in your house. Because the timelines are so small for answering the phone, you don't walk the dog; you don't do all these other things, and someone covers for you when you're going between work and home.
That's how important this mission is to us down here. It's really important for everybody in Canada to know that at NORAD, we have the watch”

Over the weekend the orange menace decided visitors to the USA must be interviewed in their home countries to apply for a visa. Wait-list can take up to a year. This is insane. He's so desperate for support from the meth-eating sister-humping xenophobic hillbillies that make up his eroding political base that he's turning the United States into Soviet Russia. I've been to nearly 30 countries. Some required visas in advance but none of them, not even Russia and China, required suc…

- Don’t overlook how misogyny amplifies the harm of this breach: user base is mostly female, and one can’t understand how this release of photos personal info home addresses carries threats of harassment, assault, and violence without understanding how our society targets women. In a very concrete sense, you need gender theory to understand the practical security implications here.
