Every year at Christmas now I think about Christmas 8 years ago when I nearly died with my wife, child and in-laws.
I share this every year over on the Bird Site and will share it here now.
It was Christmas Eve. 9 year old was just 1. We were staying at my in-laws who had an acreage just outside Red Deer at the time. We went to bed a bit late but the night was good. 1 year old wasn’t up too much.
"Christmas, at least as we know it today, resembles nothing of its past. A lot of what happened would shock us today: heavy drinking with rules abandoned in an unrestrained carnival. “A kind of December Mardi Gras,”"

"An apparently credible threat actor is claiming they have the data of 400,000,000 Twitter users and attempting to sell it."
"The threat actor provided a valid sample of 1,000 notable accounts and included the private information of - AOC, Brian Krebs, Vitalik Buterin, Kevin O'Leary, Donald Trump JR, and many more."

Jobs span from risk management, to security awareness, to penetration testing (red teaming – this is the hacking most people think of, but it's actually a pretty small percentage of jobs), to security operations center (SOC) analysts (blue teaming), to security architecture (and a lot more)."

"Bell wrote, produced, and arranged hundreds of songs, most notably with The Delfonics, and The Stylistics, both groups from Philadelphia, and The Spinners. For The Delfonics, he co-wrote hits including “La La Means I Love You,” “Ready or Not Here I Come (Can’t Hide From Love),” and “Didn’t I (Blow Your Mind This Time).”"
"That wasn't the only surprise. Though Hentschel has done freelance work for ABC, she was not there for the network.
At the time, a political consulting firm called Matrix LLC had paid Hentschel at least $7,000, the firm's internal ledgers show."

I would jump in to defend #university #presses here, but that would require me to have even the faintest idea of what he's talking about. And I don't, despite having read it three times. Sheesh.

"10% of the planet's population may become infected over the course of the next 90 days."
No matter where you stand on COVID policies, this is horrible news for everyone.
Every Philadelphian should take Thursday off, you'll be too sad to work.
The countdown to Wednesday, the saddest day in Philadelphia history.
I am taking a 4-week online Cultural Anthropology class for WInter 2022 at Community College of Philadelphia. But what is Cultural Anthropology?
The course offering says "Cultural Anthropology examines the nature of culture from the perspective of anthropology. The course is a survey of language, kinship, social structure, political organization, technology, economic systems, culture change, art and religion. It uses a cross-cultural approach, with examples from literate and non-literate societies of the world. Both economic and cultural globalization processes are examined."

"Discrimination, albeit in subtler and sometimes unintentional forms, persists today and Black patients and their families encounter it again and again."

"“The Sixers did not answer the question,” said Yuming Wang, honorary chairman of the Pennsylvania United Chinese Coalition. “It seemed to me they did not do any study before they wanted to start the project. So they were not able to give us good answers.”"
Again, only one person wants this stadium.
"Loud cascades of boos, shouts and catcalls rained upon a 76ers representative from more than 200 people who packed a Chinatown restaurant Wednesday night to question and criticize the team’s plan for a new, $1.3 billion arena on Market Street, the Inquirer reports."
