#introduction

Hi, I'm Dustin Volz, a Washington-based cybersecurity and intelligence reporter for The Wall Street Journal.

My work focuses on the national security and geopolitical dimensions of nation-state hacking conflict, digital espionage, online influence operations, election interference, and government surveillance.

At the beginning of the month, I unlocked my #WarOnChristmas series of posts from last year and put the entire 4-part series (It's a fascinating topic, I promise!) in this newsletter. Please check it out if you have a chance: https://www.readtpa.com/p/war-on-xmas-2022

*Italian science fiction writer sits down and carefully explains to the Italian public what "science fiction" is and why any sane person would ever want to do this

*Italians have been doing it ever since, though they're sometimes hard put to figure out why and what for

*When was the last time you saw someone carrying a large radio or a tape cassette player #deadmedia

@questauthority #law #lawfedi are good hashtags to look at. @icymi_law is a legal bot that boosts content from law and law adjacent folks.

Yesterday and this morning I prepped and baked fruitcake cookies and a shortbread. Never made either, and cookies, despite my being a very good cook, are hit or miss for me. The fruitcake cookies came out good, inconsistent size, not chewy, but taste great. Shortbread has another 30 minutes.

Yes, this is all for me, though I can share the shortbread. Cookies will go in the freezer as a reward for myself!

In a hugely surprising turn of events*, one of the terfs at the hearing decided to expose her gentials to all present. I assume to show how trans people want to... expose themselves in public? or something? Maybe there's just the tiniest bit of projection there?

Classic right wing "accuse the other side of what they're guilty of".

Anyway, good day for trans folk in scotland!

* not surprising at all

have a great day everyone, and don't forget my polls! 💋​
