This includes people who haven’t had AT&T service for years. Of course they put this back on the customer for “free credit monitoring” 😑 Fix the structural problems with your systems, don’t put this on the consumer. This is ridiculous.
Breaking: hackers stole call and text records for "nearly all" AT&T customers. Shows which phone numbers a customer called or texted. A staggering and unprecedented data breach. Data usually only available to authorities; now hackers got it www.404media.co/hackers-stea...

Okay I’ve got ten days until one writing deadline and 23 days until another. ✍️ 💻 🖊️ Remembering my Dad’s admonishment: “Write! Write! Write!” The strokes gave him aphasia but he still put power behind the simple phrases.

podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... One of the best episodes I’ve heard recently. MG Doyle is an exceptional Army officer. I LOVE that he speaks in plain, clear language. Same as when he commanded JRTC. Don’t be late to help with the plan. Purpose focused, team builder, team player.

responsiblestatecraft.org/petraeus-isr... I respect Professor Greg Daddis a lot. I’ve read this multiple times now. No resort to ad hominem attacks, he makes a clear argument to disregard the general’s counsel based on the retired general’s performance and record.

Just sent 2 pieces to the Modern War Institute. A book review of Send Me, and one for their War Books series focused on books by enlisted service members. Everyone needs a good editor. Looking toward to their feedback. #milsky #writing

16/2014 I am amazed at how the feelings Joe Haldeman writes about resonate with me, a GWOT vet.
15/2024 Loved it! The tale of how Sergeant Sharpe becomes Ensign Richard Sharpe at the battle of Assaye.

The Forever War by Joe Haldeman is brilliant. I cannot believe this book is 50 years old! Drones, Bluetooth communications, tap credit card withdrawal and deposit, changes in languages, customs, and social mores. It resonates today!
