If flight attendants park their beverage cart directly next to your seat and then walk away, do you know that you're legally permitted to claim one free item from said cart for every minute that elapses with you trapped in your row? The more you know. 🌈🌟

My video booted from YouTube yesterday is back (well, at a new URL) with a brief intro from me summarizing what happened. TL,DR: YouTube's AI tools flagged it as "firearms sales content" even though it's (a) there are no sales and (b) there are no firearms. www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-_V...

My latest video about medical supplies — which features absolutely no firearms and contains no links to any firearms and doesn't even mention firearms — has been removed from YouTube for violating their firearms policy.

Have you all heard about the best #DEFCON party ever? 🤘😆🤘 According to this completely trustworthy sign, it is going to be 10:00 p.m. on Friday night. 🍾🎉🥳 SecKC will be doing awesome things in the north lobby and you should all go there. If for no other reason... to flip off a Flock camera! 🖕📷

Thank you to everyone who is being so swell and smiling and offering hugs and hellos and fist bumps in the DEFCON hallways already. ☺️👍 Because some of you are a little timid or felt like you couldn't ask, yes saying or grabbing a selfie is fine.🤜🤛 (Golly, I sound like a douchebag saying that) 😆

The level of white-hot incandescent rage I now feel whenever anything AI related pops up on my screen (especially at the OS level) is nearly indescribable. I can't recall literally ANY new technology that has been so widely hated and yet so universally thrust upon the public. Can you?

I've been here for about an hour now. The instructions were to "Park at the curb and wait in my car." There has been no process of checking in with anybody, however. No paperwork to sign. A couple of COs wandering in the lot have told me to move which spot I'm in but that's about it.

Guess what I learned today? At exactly 7:24 in the morning, the sunlight this time of year is at an angle such that it streams across a chimney roof some distance away and casts this shadow on my window. 👤🪟 My third story window. I was... surprised, to say the least. 😅
Photograph of a small window at the end of an upstairs hallway. The blinds are shut on the window and sunlight is coming through. Because of a structure outside of the window, however, the lighting makes it appear as though a human being is standing directly outside of this upstairs window.

Quick reminder for the many people who still don't understand this concept: If you pull this bullshit at bag claim — standing DIRECTLY in front of the belt, with your giant luggage cart, no less — everybody in the airport hates you. Stand 6' back until your bag is 6' from you. Thank you. 🛄

I wonder if @techconnectify.bsky.social has one of these in his collection. Or possibly two of them. 😏💡💡 (Also how would these even work? How would the bulb tell the difference between "the power to the house is out" vs "the user switched off their lamp"?)

Apparently this Carl's Jr only gets 1 star. People do not recommend. 🤔⭐ (I'm not a fast food person, so I don't actually know... is this theming/branding featured on the exterior of ALL of their buildings? It made me pause and give a confused laugh, either way.)
