#Gaza is in the midst of a #humanitarian crisis and a cascading series of #political crises around the globe. Keep watch.
It's been a long and rough few weeks in my life. How are you, #CosoNauts? What are you #exploring, #learning, or #building this weekend?
#HurricaneOtis is another stark and sobering reminder as to how the world works now.
Not quite #infosec, but I would argue that #firearms and #gunrights are close related issues. Particularly where government is concerned.

I'm super excited for #spookyseason!
#Autumn has finally arrived in eastern #NorthCarolina. Time to put out the cold weather plants in the #garden and make #chili.
How are all my fellow #CosoNauts today? How was the weekend?

update: Signal messenger has investigated rumors spreading online over the weekend of a zero-day security vulnerability related to the 'Generate Link Previews' feature, stating that there is no evidence this vulnerability is real.
"We also checked with people across US Government, since the copy-paste report claimed USG as a source. Those we spoke to have no info suggesting this is a valid claim,"

#jpmorganchasebank CEO says "this is the most dangerous time" for the world in decades.
"Dangerous" to him means losing money, Where he loses money, we lose #financial security, face civil unrest, and experience #community and #environmental degradation.
If you're not ready, get ready.
#Gaza and #Barcelona are sister cities. This is the last communication from Gaza to Barcelona.

Some lessons from #Israel and the recent events there: "There must have been plenty of communications, of course, but maybe they used couriers, carrier pigeons or some other nonelectronic means. Electronic spying doesn’t get everything, and people tend to rely on it too much."
Good Morning #CoSoNauts. Today is all about rest and #greentea for me--what are y'all getting into?
