2 nickels meme: If I had a nickel for every rootkit I've come across in the wild on Windows, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice while learning a malware triage tool.

I am writing to you today with significant concern for Chuck Schumer's leadership in the Senate. In numerous interviews, he has demonstrated a myopic addiction for working with a fantasy version of a Republican party. There is a clear longing nostalgia for an opposition party that can be collaborated with in good faith, and I believe strongly that it is clouding his judgment on how to properly act. I understand the desire for Democrats and Republicans to come together and work together-- that is something we all wish for. But this presumes that all actors are acting in good faith. Time and time again, Republicans under Trump's leadership are clearly demonstrating a lack of good faith. It is time for leadership that recognizes this fact and acts accordingly. Chuck Schumer desires a Republican that acts in good faith, as we all do, but is operating on a reality that does not currently exist. He either needs to adjust his judgment or-- likely failing that-- must step aside as leader. These are unprecedented times. It is time our leadership acts accordingly and stops daydreaming about a Republican party that does not exist in its current form.

A screenshot of a Bernir Sanders tweet. "Elon Musk is wrong. The main function of the H1-B visa program is not to hire 'the best and the brightest', but rather to replace good-paying American jobs with low-wage indentured servants from abroad. The cheaper the labor they hire, the more money the billionaires make."

It's Sisyphus, rolling the rock up the hill, because Windows Defense for malware is a very different landscape and you can't just do drive-by infections willy-nilly on the system and not expect to be caught. Well actually no they don't care about the infections, but you gotta be careful with your payload! FUCK
