Holy shit. Rep. Crockett is on fire. She just SLAMMED Congress for allowing Elon to wield power: “It feels as if y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty and hand it over to someone who was unelected.“

@TheDarkCow @brysonbort The brain for mostly went away, from what I've noticed but my thyroid is all messed up right now from it which has been causing a whole slew of other frustrations...

@b4b027 @brysonbort Are you still forgetting words? because i couldn't think of the words power brick during the con.... #brainfog

Holy cow, did anyone *not* get CoVID from last week? 🦄😵

@TheDarkCow @brysonbort Big same re:thinking ahead....

@brysonbort Everyone i know who went to blackhat has it. Everyone. I avoided it at Defcon by thinking ahead and catching it in July :/

@Jaku A (former) DC friend chewed me out right before DC (out of nowhere). This made it hard for me to feel like I was safe to be friendly w/o putting myself at risk or being misunderstood. I tried to be open, but was tough to be so this year- bummed me out. Looking forward to DC33.

This DEF CON was a bit weird for me. Honestly feels like the first time I didn’t belong. Hoping it was just a fluke but it felt like every time I tried to engage with others outside my known friend group I wasn’t welcomed. Which is iconic given the theme.

Hey @defcon remember con drop is a very real thing, watch your friends for the next few days / weeks. When the endorphins leave your system you may feel emotionally drained. Take time for yourself, reach out if you need help. Reintegration into the world can be hard. #defcon32

Wow, what a defcon. Thank you all for coming to see us and feel the burn. ~400 people enjoyed some hot peppers. Thanks once again #toxicbbq and @DuncanYoudaho for having us. Until next year, this is peppercon signing off.

@dc_peppercon Still there? #wherethefuckispeppercon?

#wherethefuckispeppercon we're at the vortex bar, right next to the registration table. Come and get it

The #RoadToDefcon is always just a little bit longer than I remember #defcon32

@WCSmokeout will the UC be open for bathrooms and cooling station tomorrow (Sunday)?

@arcisgolf Oh INCLUDING MY BANKING INFORMATION.

work with no credit to the sprint." It's almost as if the agile training did nothing. Spikes still count toward velocity and capacity.... *deep sigh*

tfw your product manager tries to offload a TON work on you, in one single spike ticket, that isn't well defined, worth at LEAST 12pts... and then when you say it needs to be pointed says, "oh well it's a spike." I just said, "I'm not comfortable with doing that much

@NHLBlackhawks pretty disappointed that the only new merch for #HockeyFightsCancer was one new sweatshirt. 25th anniversary should be commemorated and celebrated far better. #disappointed

🚨UPDATE APPLE DEVICES ASAP - PHONES, IPADS, COMPUTERS, WATCHES🚨 @citizenlab found an Apple exploit used in the wild that can compromise to watch/see/hear/spy thru Apple devices. Exploit doesn't require you to click, attacker just sends it via iMessage. citizenlab.ca/2023/09/blastp…

You are human. Not broken or wrong. Not too much, and always enough. Be kind to yourself about the things that are hard and be gentle with yourself as you walk the path ahead. We’re proud of you.

@emilymgraham My cousin got covid when him and his wife had a baby. He had several blissful weeks of diaper changes. Hope you feel better real soon!

Something I never considered in terms of my sense of smell being reduced (thanks covid): I can't tell if I have BO.

@dcskytalks @andrewshumate So far nothing interesting but I'll keep y'all posted!

@b4b027 @andrewshumate Good to see you running a comparison. Any interesting results or data you want to share out of that?

Now up to 232 voluntarily reported cases. We're seeing a lot of people noting negative tests. We're glad to see that, but we're more glad to see people repeatedly testing negative over the span of several days. Keep it up, gang -- repeated negative over several days matters!

@andrewshumate @dcskytalks I've only publically posted one negative but have tested several times now all with different test brands haha. I knew I was collecting them for a good reason!

@dcskytalks Got concerned about so many negative tests that I ordered some different ones to cross check.

I love how LinkedIn is scattered with non-consentual #defcon photos.... be better, folks. #dontbeajerk
