Crowdstrike sure likes giving hacking groups cool Metal Gear Solid names.
The other thing is, Mimikatz was originally just a practice project for a dude to learn C.
I tried learning C once. I printed out "Hello world" and I was done. I was over it.
You think hacker tools are super secret James Bond bullshit, but then you find out you can find stuff like Mimikatz on Github? It's open source? Just download and run?

This happens a lot and it sucks. Don't trust people who tell you to get arrested for optics.

There's a whole book, called "How to Read Donald Duck," about how fucked these comics were. Like honestly. If it sounds like I'm joking, it's only because of how blatantly obvious the message is for the ~exotic~ adventures of a character named Uncle Scrooge.
We shit on Batman a lot for being a rich guy beating up the mentally ill and the poor, but you know who gets way too slack? Uncle Scrooge. I know we all love his little pogo cane, but c'mon.

So the big Humble Store sale is over, but they're doing an "Encore" now, which means a much smaller selection of titles is on sale for a brief time. And of course there are some Steam and Nintendo sales going on, so here comes a new Games On Sale Recommendation Thread.

Forgotten thing: Rudy Giuliani attempted to suspend elections because of 9/11

Someone asked why “listen to POC” is a problem
The problem is that too many white people take it as a substitute for
A. Actually thinking critically about dismantling whiteness for themselves
B. An invitation to listen to liberal POCs whose writing and words make them feel good but don’t actually dismantle whiteness
Or C. at worst, line the coffers of self proclaimed anti-racist whites like Tim wise or robin d’angelo.
When they could have read the black radical tradition

Sexual abuse
Though "Maggie May" has pretty dreary lyrics. And is about a real thing that happened to a 16 year old Rod Stewart
Sexual abuse
It's the more depressing cousin of "Maggie May"
Sexual abuse
I've been listening to Cayetana's version of "Age of Consent" a lot. I think it's about a younger person coming of age and standing up to someone who has been sexually abusing them since before they could legally say no. Which has been helpful in working through some trauma. I like their version better than New Order's because they put some actual emotion in it.

me, instructing someone how to use the instrument I just invented, which is played like a kazoo but produces notes that sound exactly like Waluigi noises: blow it out the wazoo

9/11
If you must wag fingers, go after people nosalgic for the fever pitch nationalism of beating Sikh cab drivers up for not having enough flag stickers, those who supported invasions, and people like Mayor Pete who use the forever war as a way to build their resumes. We watched the seeds sewn during the Cold War and the hideous imperial victory lap of the 1990s bloom in a society-altering act of violence that destroyed our parents' brains.

9/11
The proto-stage of post-9/11 American fascism was made to stomp out objections to our obscene post-Cold War victory lap across the planet. All Bush's retinue of ghouls really had was an excuse, and the will to actually start crossing lines outside of "special circumstances" and let hypernormalization do its thing.
