The 4 stages of biting sushi
A black and white cat sits on the floor and looks up at a small piece of dangling salmon sushiShe inches closer for a sniffShe opens her mouth a little, showing a tooth. Her eyes look a little booglyFully committed, she goes in for the salmon chomp, mouth wide open and crazy-eyed. Now more shark than cat

I'm excited to teach a Cybersafety class this quarter at UCR. In this first iteration, it'll be offered as a seminar class, but we will switch to a regular class next year. Preliminary syllabus: spalab.cs.ucr.edu/teaching/26s... Looking forward to comments and feedback!

@bsky.app grew tremendously over the last year. Recently, the platform introduced “starter packs” (SP) to help users bootstrap their social graph. Anybody can create these SPs. They’re lists of accounts (e.g., “people creating anime”) that others can then follow. 🧵1/11

My secret hiding place where nobody can see me.
A green-upholstered wooden rocking chair on a wooden floor. There isn't a black and white cat sitting underneath with her head obscured. You can't see her feet poking out.

The website vs app split for Bluesky vs Threads captures the difference in user base and usage patterns beautifully. Bluesky = knowledge sector workers who have it open all day in a tab next to their emails. “Wait what was I doing again?” Threads = normies watching recipe videos on the commute.

Listen here, ham sandwich... You can't escape me, I'm an apex predator!
A pair of black ears poke out above a white plate. Atop the plate, a very white-bread ham sandwich, with two bites taken out of it. Clearly a British northerner took this photo.
