I have unfollowed most of the people I used to follow in #infosec and pretty much all of the musicians I used to follow, from Hall and Oates to Jamiroquai to Siouxsie and the Banshees.

Every world tour and every maskless convention selfie is a betrayal... #CovidIsNotOver 🧵
I'm finally in a point in my life where I can afford overpriced concert tickets and some travel if it's something that's really a priority to me.

But fuck no. The musicians I genuinely used to love now will never see a dime out of me ever again...
I BitTorrent their music, because even Spotify and YouTube plays would give them a fraction of a cent each time.

My favourite musicians (musically, at least) aren't even starving artists. Have you seen Jay Kay's car collection?!
As for #infosec, I am never attending an in-person event ever again. You've shown your true colours, cybersecurity. Your understanding of security doesn't extend one millimetre beyond computers. Hacker Summer Camp is a mass biohazard and everyone running shit is complicit...
I even cut off all ties with my coauthor.

If I used to follow you and I don't anymore, it' because you had the fucking audacity to post maskless con selfies. Fuck you.
I'll never think of my favourite musicians the same way either. Every tour date is a mass biohazard, and they are 100% complicit.

In fact, i will never think of 99% of people the same way ever again. If you're maskless in public in 2022, 2023 and beyond, fuck you all!
Inevitably, most of you will either die soon or deal with #LongCovid for the rest of your lives. COVID is a vascular disease. It damages brains, hearts, lungs, immune systems, pretty much everything else too.

If you had the fucking audacity to be in public maskless recently...
You will get absolutely zero sympathy, help, or support from me when you eventually realize that it was COVID that destroyed your body. FUCK YOU. My sympathy and support go to COVID-cautious long haulers only. NO forgiveness to you!
And it's already started... All of these A-list musicians who had zero financial need to go on tour, having destroyed their bodies for good.

No sympathy for them either, they maimed and killed thousands of fans in their path.
I was never a KISS fan. And they don't get a pass from me either. "Oh look, they're touring with anti-COVID nasal spray! Look how smart they are!" FUCK OFF!

I can accept sprays as a layer of mitigation. But a) they're not a substitute for respirators and clean air...
b) they're only protecting themselves. Meanwhile, they're subjecting hundreds of thousands of fans to mass biohazards.

And even if sprays help a bit, it's not going to work as a sole layer of mitigation, especially when playing to huge crowds.
We're going to hear about Gene Simmons with a "mystery illness" very soon.

Here's the list of musicians with "mystery illness"...
Ask @NateB_Panic for citations.

Billy Joel. Stevie Nicks. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. Justin Bieber. Harry Styles (just because he has asthma, COVID can worsen it!). Celine Dion (her illness is probably COVID related), Rod Stewart. Cyndi Lauper. The Killers...
@NateB_Panic WTF are you doing live performances maskless, Avril Lavigne and Daryl Hall? Did you learn absolutely nothing from your chronic Lyme?!

Anyway, I'm just here in my COVID-free skyscraper bunker watching the masses destroy yourselves.

FUCK YOU.

CO2 monitoring, ventilation, and HEPA/CR boxes are absolutely necessary.

But a low CO2 rating doesn't make going maskless in a public space safe.

STFU with your "risk assessments." Just wear a respirator in all public spaces. (Outdoor crowds, too.)
#CovidIsNotOver Hero in Disney cartoon, sitting smugly with dozens of swords
That's like saying airbags, seatbelts, insurance, and traffic lights make drunk driving safe.

NO, THEY DO NOT!
A room with 400ppm of CO2 has little of other people's breath in the air. But it still has some of other people's breath in the air!

Hazel McCallion is dead. I grew up in Mississauga, roughly between 1986-2000. My late father was on the library board and he was the first recipient of the Mississauga Arts Award in writing.

I met her once.

I have thoughts... 🧵
I don't have to look this up. No one in North America has been mayor of a city for longer than Hazel McCallion. Her stint as mayor of Mississauga was at least 25-30 years long.

But she wasn't a great mayor, just a mayor in a very lucky situation...
Her mayoralty started in the late 1970s, she was previously the mayor of Streetsville until all those west of Toronto towns were amalgamated as Mississauga.

During her first term as mayor of Mississauga, the legendary train disaster of 1979 occurred...
