In the language of his QAnon, Diagalon, Proud Boy, #FreedumConvoy pals, #Poilievre speaks of security clearance as an 'oath of secrecy'. Carney is right to call out this paranoid boys club mentality as totally irresponsible and not the stuff of #leadership. https://ca.news.yahoo.com/poilievre-addresses-lack-security-clearance-164734497.html
Doug Ford had $3B to buy votes by throwing cheques at overextended middle class slobs, but the Children’s Aid has to lay off staff for the lack of $20M.
There are three thousand million in three billion.
20/3000 = 1/3 of one percent.
That’s how much he cares.

"[Pike] believes in the central tenets of Starfleet: Service, sacrifice, compassion, and love, and he repeatedly chooses to live those values in both good times and bad. (And whether others can see him do so or not.)
"Pike is basically the definition of a servant-hearted leader, a man who does his best to captain his team in such a way that not only encourages them to do their best work but to become their best selves at the same time."

I keep saying this: the Democratic Party needs to disband in a highly public way, leaving a void to be filled by leaders who can read the room, know what time it is, and understand the assignment.
We are here because the legacy party did none of that.

When we started recording podcasts, Sean Martin and I put writing on pause for a bit—but now it’s back, not just in our individual newsletters but also in our event coverage. I enjoy writing, and I plan to do even more with my Musings on Society & #Technology newsletter here on LinkedIn.
That said…
Here’s my final article (#4) from the ITSPmagazine Podcasts coverage of ThreatLocker’s Zero Trust World 2025 (#ZTW25). In this piece, I reflect on the intersection of society, cybersecurity, innovation, and disruption, inspired by the final keynote from Reggie Fils-Aime, former President and COO of #Nintendo.
"The Disruptive Edge: Innovation, #Cybersecurity, and the Future of a #ZeroTrust Society."
Throughout our coverage, we tackled the evolution of cyber threats, the dark web, supply chain security, #cybercriminals tactics, and now, in this final piece, we turn our focus to the bigger picture.
From Reggie Fils-Aime’s insights on disciplined, disruptive innovation to Danny Jenkins’ closing words on embedding security into everything we build, the event left us with one key question: Is innovation moving too fast for security to keep up, or are we finally embedding security at the core of progress?
For centuries, innovation was slow. Then came the Industrial Revolution, and today, we live in an era of hyper-acceleration, where disruption isn’t a choice—it’s a given. #AI, #automation, and cybersecurity threats evolve faster than we can regulate or adapt. But is this pace making us stronger, or is security still an afterthought?
Are we innovating responsibly? Are we embedding security into progress? Are we disrupting for the right reasons?
Huge thanks to #ThreatLocker for bringing us together in Orlando for these critical discussions and to the incredible speakers who shaped our coverage.
As Danny Jenkins put it best:
"Security isn’t a feature you add later—it’s the foundation of everything we build."

People managers:
Folks on your teams are freaked out. As we all are. And if you lead a team that's doing some kind of social justice work they are going to ask uncomfortable questions about what you're doing to fight.
For the love of Martin and Malcolm, do NOT tone police their fear, anger, and upset.
Yeah, their tone upset you? Well, they're trans and live in a Red state, Susan. They are justifiably upset and terrified.
They're gay-married, George. The entire legal fabric of their family is about to get ripped apart.
Her dad is undocumented, Sally. And she hasn't heard from him in a week.
Jesus christ, people! WTF.
Dig deep for your goddamn humanity.
FUCK.

Today, #Russia’s information #warfare has 3 main goals:
1) End all #aid to #Ukraine,
2) Change #leadership in #Kyiv,
3) Lift Russia #sanctions
Right now, the #Kremlin’s #disinformation mainly focuses on demonizing Ukraine’s leadership, especially President #Zelensky.

#Plutarch #ParallelLives #Pericles 2/
These two men [Pericles and Fabius Maximus] were alike in their virtues, and more especially in their gentleness and rectitude, and by their ability to endure the follies of their peoples and of their colleagues in office, they proved of the greatest service to their countries.
