I remember sometime last year I heard a vaccine was about to be released, and I thought "Yes! All this is about to be over." Because I never thought things would get this fucking stupid, which is a mistake I keep making year after year. https://t.co/avrxum1BFS

Giuliani was our nation's "cybersecurity czar" for a bit. Remember that? Rudy "I run my personal website off of a four-year-old Joomla version on a box with every service exposed to the internet" Giuliani. Setting cybersecurity policy.

*Jesus* what a bad five years it's been.

I don’t agree with those saying, “Oh, this must have made the senators squirm and the donors uncomfortable.” Nah. Those guys like that kind of locker room talk. The thrill of the transgressive and all that. Trump’s crudeness and vulgarity send a tingle down rich Republican legs. https://t.co/68cshk1wgZ

THE ACTUAL FACTS:
1) The site was ENCODED but not ENCRYPTED. This is cybersecurity 101. The incompetence is staggering.
2) A journalist brought it to your attention & DELAYED POSTING THE STORY so you could fix it before going public & opening the site up to actual hackers 1/ https://t.co/ngeVAQz4Ly

The only argument that really exists about cancel culture is “do I agree with this person being targeted for this thing”.

No one actually opposes “cancel culture”, and the need to perpetually redefine it to exclude when *they* want to use it is ridiculous. https://t.co/Oy3ZGTSeLN
