This is a monarch butterfly migration arriving in the oyamel fir forests of central Mexico. None of these butterflies has ever been here before. Their great-great-grandmothers left this exact grove in March. By July those grandmothers were dead. The butterflies you're watching are four to five generations downstream, born somewhere between Texas and Ontario, and they just flew up to 3,000 miles to a tree none of their parents ever saw. The brain doing the navigation is smaller than a grain of rice. The mechanism is a sun compass time-compensated by a circadian clock running in the antennae. Cut the antennae and the monarch loses orientation within hours. The clock corrects for the sun's position drifting across the sky as the day moves. Add iron-bearing magnetite particles for magnetic field detection on cloudy days, and a 0.5 gram insect is running redundant inertial guidance. The destination is more specific than the navigation. They cluster on a few dozen oyamel fir groves in the Sierra Madre at 9,000 to 11,000 feet. The microclimate has to sit between 32 and 41°F. Below freezing kills them. Above 41°F burns the fat reserves they need to survive five months without feeding. The right band exists a few hundred meters thick on a few specific mountains. Outside it, the migration ends. One generation each year is built differently from the rest. Summer monarchs live two to six weeks. The fall generation lives eight months. It postpones reproduction, fattens up, and carries the entire round trip in a single body. The map is genetic. Nobody has fully decoded how. A monarch hatched in a backyard in Toronto in September has never seen a mountain, never smelled a fir, never met an ancestor. It flies south for ten weeks, picks the right peak, and lands on the tree its bloodline has been returning to for tens of thousands of years. The forest knows the families that come back.

Comey’s lawyers will copy-paste this right into their inevitable vindictive prosecution filing.

28 years ago today, at 8am, Eric Meyer tapped a few keys on his laptop and launched Netflix to the world. By 10am we'd crashed the servers. By 2pm we'd run out of mailing labels and someone was making a run to Office Depot. By midnight we were sitting on the floor eating cold pizza, watching orders trickle in one at a time, half-convinced the whole thing was held together with duct tape. Which it was. Best day of my career.

SITREP 2 - Cybersecurity - 06APR26 #EpicFury #Iran #cybersecurity Good morning here's the Executive Summary from my SITREP #2 Cybersecurity EXECUTIVE SUMMARY For distribution to senior leadership and boards. This summary is intentionally non-exhaustive. -- Iran has declared and is executing a named doctrine of infrastructure warfare against the United States and its commercial partners. This is not improvised retaliation, it is a structured, sequential campaign now spanning 37 days, 95+ numbered strike waves, and an explicit published list of 18 US corporations designated as legitimate military targets. Six material developments since SITREP #1 demand attention: • Iran's IRGC published a formal list of 18 US companies as military targets, naming Cisco, HP, Intel, Oracle, Microsoft, Apple, Google, Meta, IBM, Dell, Palantir, Nvidia, JPMorgan, Tesla, GE, Boeing, Spire Solutions, and UAE-based G42, with a published list of 29 regional offices and data centers and an evacuation deadline for employees. The IRGC said that a company’s infrastructure would be destroyed for every assassination which occurs in Iran. The morning of April 06, the head of IRGC’s Intelligence Organization was killed. Under the IRGC's declared doctrine, this death constitutes a triggering event for a retaliatory strike against a named entity. • Physical strikes on commercial cloud infrastructure are confirmed and continuing. AWS suffered structural damage to data centers in UAE and Bahrain. A subsequent strike on the Batelco facility in Bahrain, the primary telecommunications host for AWS in that country, disrupted cloud services for a second time. Dubai denied an IRGC claim of striking an Oracle data center on April 2; however, open-source investigators have documented a pattern of UAE authorities systematically understating damage across multiple incidents, and the UAE's own official record confirms the Oracle building sustained minor damage from a strike on April 4. • The campaign has widened from data centers to energy, water, and petrochemical infrastructure across three Gulf states simultaneously. These are not cyber events they are kinetic attacks on energy infrastructure with direct supply chain consequences for any business with Gulf energy dependencies. • Russia is not a bystander. Russian satellite intelligence is guiding Iranian kinetic strikes. GRU-linked hacktivist groups are operating alongside Iranian proxy networks under shared campaign banners. The assumption that Iran is operating alone understates the threat. • A confirmed destructive cyberattack on a US corporation, Stryker. • Gulf states have criminalized documentation of damage. Over 500 people have been arrested across UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait for photographing or sharing images of Iranian strike damage.
