It's the afternoon on a Friday. You have checked out and detached from reality. Can I treat you t a "very real thing that actually happened"? I offer you " The 1904 Olympic Marathon" https://t.co/THRidESOXB

You're probably just trying to drink your coffee/tea in peace while checking email But we need to talk about the true story of the "great Canadian raccoon war of 2015" (the trash pandas won) A lesson in over-engineered security by the government https://t.co/vvubQ9tRZj

The flightless birds known as emus won a war with humans with machine guns (not just once) They are the size of a small car and just “ran in various directions” There’s a parable here for InfoSec and red teaming, but i cannot stop laughing long enough to explain it

Did I tell you about the Emu War in Australia? (I probably did. I rant) This sounds made up but was 💯 real Spoiler alert: the flightless Emus won the war after about 5 weeks https://t.co/GChLabFLiS Here is a veteran kangaroo pirate to really drive this fact home

Can I interest you in a blog series where it makes sense that a coked up ferret transcribes legal PDFs into a typewriter and then faxes it back to the law firm. We woke up and decided this was called "CAT-ENT PENDING" https://t.co/reSCQvTyFn

I have logged info 6 web interfaces using MFA I could launch a nuclear weapon against a small country easier than buying a delivery taco at midnight. I will find a burrito that can delivered if it is the last thing I do on this earth.

I just want tacos but bureaucracy, an app, and a website I tried to access on 3 devices is holding me back It has been 27 minutes I am defeated by at least 9 algorithms I’m exhausted and hungry There are still no tacos. #UIUX
