Went to Penn & Teller last night. Not a big deal,except it was with an ex from 13 yrs ago. We are still friends, and well it was a wonderful evening. Always funny that you end up asking, “So, why did we break up again?” We will stay friends… 😬🤷‍♀️💋

Oh the fun of #hackersummercamp is real for sure. Except when your health issues decide this week they are going to rear their ugly heads. On the positive side, gave my first ever Skytalks and it went very well! Thanks to everyone who came & so many great questions!!

2025 will be my last #BSidesChicago. I know I’ll cry, but they’ll be tears of gratitude for this community. One final #FlamingoUprising, workshops Oct 31, conference Nov 1. I’ve given my heart for almost 10 yrs - Come laugh, learn, and maybe cry with me at my final @bsideschicago.bsky.social

Debunking Trump's Bizarre Claims About Tylenol & Autism
Of course, scientists and doctors have all responded that Trump's claims are demonstrably false, and to put it plainly, they put pregnant women in danger.

Well, it’s working — the Epstein files stay tucked away, neat and silent. Perfect system: secrets in velvet boxes, accountability in the lost-and-found. Cool. We’ll keep pretending that’s acceptable. NOT! #EpsteinFiles #Accountability #Transparency #JusticeMatters #ExposeTheTruth #NoMoreSilence

DEFCON 33… and why my 30th might be my last. 🧵 I’ve been going to DEFCON since DEFCON 3 — this year was #DEFCON33. Do the math. That’s three decades of heat, chaos, linecon, and watching people discover that “defcon Wi-Fi” and “reliable” are still mortal enemies. 1/7
