I recently fell victim to a crypto job interview scam from @socialspectra where $187k in funds were stolen from my hot wallet Sharing my ordeal & lessons learned in hopes of raising awareness about this type of malware attack alexhalloran.substack.com/p/from-casual-…

We just got robots banned from Southwest Airlines. You’re welcome 🫡 Yesterday we flew our humanoid robot Stewie from Las Vegas to Dallas on Southwest — something we (and others) have tried and failed multiple times because batteries are always the issue. This time we cracked it. Custom lithium pack, spec’d just under the legal limit. Stewie boarded, buckled up, and flew like a completely normal passenger. This morning a Southwest employee leaks us the internal training they just pushed to EVERY flight attendant companywide. Mandatory. Urgent. With a photo of Stewie on the plane as the example of what to look out for. We didn’t break a single FAA rule. Not one. They just weren’t ready for us. Robophobic? Arguably. The robots are traveling whether the airlines are ready or not. 🤖✈️

@rentbotsTX I love his little robot dance

@ScottBornAgain A 12-year old native American will do a better job than 99% of all H1-B workers

@Nebraskangooner That's @pepelangelo !

Now that's what I call art.

@_SEAL_Org I fell victim to an infostealer malware x.com/Alexwashere/st…

@ShardiB2 My pack. Dogs are the best!

How someone can not have dogs in their life (if possible) is beyond me Best animals ever Also, extensive research, including a massive systematic review of over 3.8 million people, suggests that dog ownership is associated with a 24% reduction in all-cause mortality. Save your own life, go adopt a Dog!!

Had an interview with a “crypto” recruiter. We talked for about 40 minutes, and then they asked me to look at some code. Their first instruction was to clone the repo. I didn’t. They seemed surprised, so I told them I wanted a moment to check whether it was safe first. I ran a quick analysis with Claude. Turns out the code had a backdoor. It would copy my environment variables and send them to a remote server. The recruiter went speechless and ended the call pretty quickly. Be careful who you talk to. Scammers are real.

@im_goomba @Pebble I loved my OG Pebble, but I bought a Coros Apex Pro 2 a few years ago The battery usually lasts me 2+ weeks even with lots of workout tracking

I’m looking forward to moving from my Apple Watch to my @Pebble I don’t want an oled screen on my wrist, I don’t want constant notifications, I don’t want to have to charge every day

The amount of @Starlink availability worldwide is mind-blowing I switched over about a month ago and have been super happy with the service

Americans are suffering. It is way too expensive just to live for most families. Our cities aren’t safe. Our country is being transformed every day by foreign migration. Our elections aren’t secure. The SAVE act was not passed and won’t be passed. It’s time to end this war in Iran and focus on our country, our people, our future. Far too much of Trump’s second term has been spent on foreign adventures. It has to end. Turn the attention back home.

@CryptoCX1 @OldMate69_ @joerogan @DrShannaSwan I'm loving Cuts based on your recommendation a while back You should look into EMF exposure as well. @HAVNwear is my go to, great for sleep and travel. Planes are off the charts for EMF exposure

@OldMate69_ @joerogan @DrShannaSwan It’s proven, has been for a long time. Especially when there’s heat or perspiration which forces pores open. I only swapped my gym / active clothes. Not walking away from polyester 100%. Love my cuts shirts and lulu pants.

Alright, this weeks @joerogan guest @DrShannaSwan pushed me to make another big push against microplastics. I ran a comprehensive back and forth with Claude to evaluate everything from bedding, bathroom products what I wear, what I drink out of, etc. Bedding was solid, swapped one bathroom product, swapped gym bottle to stainless. Biggest change was swapping all Lululemon/Vuori clothes out for those in the image below. For gym, sweating and sauna use, do it or check out cheaper alternatives.

Flight delayed on tarmac. Missed our connection. Based on the other flights available, which were also delayed, and the fact that taking a flight tomorrow would require getting back into a security line stretching seemingly for miles, we decided to get a car and drive five hours to our destination. That’s how bad air travel is right now. Driving is faster. Air travel is awful in this country. People don’t realize just how much it sucks unless they have to do it a lot. It’s not just TSA. Flight delays. Air traffic control issues. Service is even worse than usual. Every airport is crowded and slow and worn down and dirty. Everyone brings their dogs. The term “service animal” doesn’t mean anything anymore. Air travel used to be luxurious. People used to wear suits. Working for an airline was prestigious. The employees took it seriously. It sucks now. It’s terrible. This is the kind of thing our leaders should be fixing. Because the most frustrating thing is that it is so eminently fixable. If only anyone bothered to try.

Most of you probably don’t know this, but I used to be a pediatric nurse. I worked on the transplant floor for years, then helped start a dialysis unit for kids. The youngest patient I ever treated was 4 hours old 🤯 After getting everything up and running, I pivoted to trading Crypto. Curious, what do you guys do for a living?”

Runs 24/7. This is what automated distribution looks like in 2026 Reply "BOT" and I'll send you the full setup and a guide for free

@StonkTrump Good doggo

Doggo timeline cleanse

My ancestors buried half their children. All mine are alive. My ancestors' house had a dirt floor. Mine is wood. I have indoor plumbing, I have hot water, I have never in my life hauled a full bucket half a mile and I probably never will. Do you know how rare it is, in human history, for small children to wear shoes? Mine have multiple pairs. I can speak to my relatives who live thousands of miles away, for free, at any time. Video, if we want video. With machine translation, if we speak different languages. The original Library of Congress had 740 books in it. I have more than that. If I run out of books in my home my local public library has 350,000. If I want to take a hundred books with me on vacation, they all fit on a device that fits in my purse. I have heat in the winter and AC in the summer and a washing machine and I have never, ever, ever had to scrub a dress clean by hand in the stream. I can look up recipes from more than a hundred different countries and I've tried dozens of them. I ride a clean and modern train across my city for $4, or take a robot taxi if I'm out too late for the train. I donate $40,000 every year to the cause of getting healthcare to the world's poorest people and even after the donations I never have to think about whether I can afford a book, or a pair of shoes, or a cup of coffee. There is a great deal more to fight for, of course. I hope that our descendants will look back on our lives and list a thousand ways they're richer. Maybe we ourselves will do that, if some of the crazier stuff comes true. But the abundance is all around you and to a significant degree you aren't feeling it only because fish don't notice water.

I’m sorry I just cannot take this guy seriously 😂😂😂

@Aella_Girl Bitcoin fixes this

Payment processors are the companies that govern our free speech. We live in a world where lots of forms of speech that are supposed to be legally protected, are actually not. The government is often the one pressuring these companies (Operation Choke Point)!

@StonkTrump So much variety in yellow, but orange because I hate winter 🌵

Whatcha think fellas…

@im_goomba Loved my OG Pebble Time years ago. I use a Coros Apex 2 Pro watch now as I like having the e-ink display for ~3 week battery life I bought an Xteink 4 e-reader for $60 that is small enough to snap onto the back of my phone and has a surprisingly sharp screen

On my gadget list for this year Pebble Time 2 Steam Machine Iphone Fold (iFold?) Tesla FSD What's on yours?
