I work in Technology (Cyber Security) but received a degree in Fine Arts. I’ve always felt my background in the arts has made me a better technology professional that brings a different perspective than many of my peers. You can’t judge a degree on what you think its market value is.

If you don't tell your cat how good he is, how's he supposed to know? Is your boss gonna do it? Your neighbor? The government? NO! Take some responsibility and explain to your cat in detail how good he is. That's called good kittizenship!

Can #Microsoft please talk to #Microsoft about Zero Trust?!? The Security side talks about how we should have separate privileged accounts with no mailboxes, etc. But if you want to set up Opal (Frontier) you need GA, Copilot, Intune & P1 assigned to the account.

According to the IEA, we mine ~240,000 tons of #lithium every year. 70% goes into batteries, 70% of which are for #EVs. Over the course of the same year we mine 4 billion tons of #oil, 8 billion tons of coal, 3 billion tons of gas. And then we burn ~90% of it. Inefficiently. Think about that

When a post on your feed reinforces the previous post.

Joel S. @joelhs.bsky.social:
"ICE isn't the Gestapo. The Gestapo was..." (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)
(Picture of a post from that other platform)
Senator Chris McDaniel:
“Lately, some folks have taken to calling ICE "the Gestapo." It sounds fierce. It feels righteous. But it isn't true, and it isn't harmless.
The Gestapo was a secret police force. No warrants.
No courts. No lawyers. And no appeals. People vanished in the night, not because they broke the law, but because the law no longer meant anything. The knock on the door was the sentence.
ICE isn't that. Not even close.”

Next post:
Aaron Ruparo @atrupar.com:
Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color. It has to stop"

But you need the moderates to begin with. Overturning R v. W was decades long effort to move the needle. If you come out of the gate with Abolish ICE you are going to turn people off. Instead why not talk about containing and restraining ICE. Win and then make the big changes.
