Alaska Airlines is experiencing "IT issues" and all planes are grounded. This is definitely your standard "IT issues" and not the r-word (it can't be said).

It rhymes with schmansome-schmare

Been having some problems with rodents in my shed. Luckily, a stray cat has been hunting them for me. Anyone know what kind of cat this is?

This image was stolen from Reddit, specifically from the r/spider subreddit. Someone located this large black widow spider in their basement.

I have entomophobia — I'm terrified of ALL insects. If a lady bug touches me I scream. If I saw this spider I'd orbital nuke my property

I'm always watching what mrd0x (co-founder of MalDevAcademy) is publishing because he is the only malware-related security researcher finding new initial access techniques. He's the LeBron James on finding weird social engineering malware delivery techniques.

Bro is up to some funny business

Regarding Black Mass Volume III - making money from the book is cool and badass. However, we are aware pricing isn't the same globally. In some countries, such as Brazil and India, the pricing is outrageously high.

We encourage our friends in countries where the price is high to use the free PDF, go to some printing store, and make a physical copy yourself. Alternatively, if you're someone who simply cannot afford the $13.37, then print it yourself too. Do whatever you gotta do, fam.

Fuck tariffs and fuck import taxes and fuck import "fees". Information and educational content for free and for everyone, always.

Enjoy the stuff. We have more stuff coming (eventually).

Thank you for the love and support.
