A frame from family guy where Peter griffin is in a ridiculous outfit.  A cop is holding out a color chart of skin tones where whiter tones are labeled “Protest” and the darker tones are labeled “Riot”

“For the CS majors, SWE is -not it- for immigration. Nor is Analytics. The market is way too competitive. Too many young and hungry people already constantly immigrating with CS degrees.

Specialize. Do it smartly.

Legacy. COBOL. ICS. The niches that aren’t sexy that half the planet runs on and the people who installed and maintained them are retiring or dead. Get good at being a computer janitor keeping SCADA and mainframes running. Banking. Hospital tech.

Same with cybersecurity. Entry level analyst market is saturated. Specialize! Cloud certs to fix all the poorly implemented buckets. Dull international GRC. Security engineering for obnoxious and finicky products like legacy SIEMs and forensic suites. Get certs in those, not just Sec+ or CISSP. The sexy jobs got pitched and sold by too many opportunist universities. Be an IT janitor and be damn good at it.”

Here we go.

Certain generals must be removed before any martial law plan is put into action—as Trump and Hegseth are worried there may still be some generals out there who support the Constitution rather than his proposed dictatorship.

This is a political purge intended as a precursor to far more.

All this bullshit immediately crumbles when it's presented to anyone who's not a sympathetic cohost on your podcast

When the Patriot Act was passed, libraries got requests for patrons’ borrowing history. We were prohibited from disclosing those requests.

We deleted and shredded those records and stopped tracking reading history for that reason.

ALSO.

Ignorant question, what is TDI. I am assuming it isn't Turbo Direct Injection, Texas Department of Insurance...

The only time you should ever open your mouth around a cop:

- Am I being detained or am I free to go?

- I do not consent to any search.

- I invoke the fifth. I want to speak to a lawyer.

That's it.
