Morning everyone. Happy day.

Remember, if you are voting today:

If you have a dog, you MUST take it to the polling station

You MUST leave your dog outside (unless it's an assistance dog, obviously)

You MUST photograph your dog outside the polling station and share that photo as widely as possible

If you don't have a dog, and you meet a dog outside a polling station, you MUST tell it that it is a very good dog, and take its picture, and share the picture as widely as possible

This is THE LAW and it MUST be followed, penalties for breaches will be swift

(oh, and as well as your dog, remember to bring your ID from this list: https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/voting-and-elections/voter-id/accepted-forms-photo-id )

@RolloTreadway I cast my postal vote already, do I have to walk round to my local Polling Station and photograph my dogs anyway?

I don't want to fall foul of the law on this.

The primary adversary most IT/sec shops are intended to defend against is auditors

@jerry Confirmed.

Source: multiple first hand direct experiences of being asked to advise on doing things right, only to see things descoped into doing just enough to address outstanding audit remarks, often scraping through on a technicality.

    @ElleGray This is timely for me - I've spent the past couple of weeks doing statistical analysis on LinkedIn posts as part of my day job and now I just want to distance myself from the tech industry completely.

    No joke.

    I'm going to tell people I'm a people trafficker. It's less embarrassing.

    Hey, Mastodon! Indiana's attorney general has created an anti-teacher snitch portal for people to report school teachers for being too woke. It allows you to upload files and everything!

    There appears to be no safeguard against entering any text you want in any of the boxes, and no location/residence checking.

    Dare I ask you to do your thing?

    Boosts welcome!

    @ergative I hope they enjoy the reference imagery (just so they know what to look out for) submitted by Hugh Janus.
