@R_Chirgwin It’s wonderful.
dev_dsp “The aristocrats” joke format but the punchline is “the infosec community!”
@dsearls Ah yes! So many fields are ripe pickings for this sort of thing.
@R_Chirgwin The research I cited is even scarier. Here’s the HuffPo write-up. huffingtonpost.co.uk/2015/12/04/sci…
“The New Age Bullshit Generator sebpearce.com/bullshit/ works on the same principle but uses a list of profound-sounding words…”
“wisdomofchopra.com constructs meaningless statements … by randomly mashing together a list of words used in Deepak Chopra’s tweets.”

Nah, bugger all that journeying. I’ll have lunch at the local.
@marcuskelson I’m pretty sure I saw them live too, if I’m not having a Trump moment. Powerful performance.
Mobile. Walking in a calm and orderly fashion to Wentworth Falks, then getting the #purpletrain to K-town for lunch etc.
Sun plan: Laundry (in progress); Sunday lunch Katoomba; record podcast promo; certain quiet considerations; Weekly Wrap.
@BXGD There’s some deep human-nature thing at play there.
@BXGD Ta for that. So taking the NJPD stuff at face value, I’m fascinated by how a few people becomes many more in the re-telling…
@BXGD So to get the timeline straight, there was an original WaPo story based on NJPD at the time, later withdrawn?
@BXGD Well that’s shoddy work by them, sure.

@astudentnow Ah, which reminds me, I’d started re-reading David Kilcullen’s (now) Walkley-winning Quarterly Essay a couple weeks back.
@natecochrane @GuardianAus Would it be in poor taste to make a comment about the traditional political role of eunuchs?
@astudentnow Everything is perfect in this the best of all possible world.
@williampart A nadir might be a more realistic goal.

@BundyB This sounds an excellent plan. But sadly your suggestion can’t be implemented today, because I do have a couple things to do.
Sometimes the first suggestions are the best. twitter.com/BundyB/status/…
So, I woke up well before 0500, and I’ve already had breakfast and a 90-minute nap. It’s now 1000. What’s the plan for the rest of the day?
There is very, very little that could go wrong here. twitter.com/jeamland/statu…
@NewtonMark This is not to say that I’m not happy with it. On the contrary. It’s just to say there’s EVEN MOAR in the doco.

@R_Chirgwin Oh good, glad that worked. It’s also a good plan to run a Time Machine backup before each update, ‘cos they’re bootable too.
