Just got an apparently fraudulent call from someone claiming to be from @TDBank_US, who knew my name. They hung up when I noted I do not have an account there. Googling, the number in my caller ID does appear to match TD Bank’s customer service line. Spoofing, I assume? — PolitiTweet.org

And a reminder, this has only be come a worse idea with time! When you talk about putting a backdoor into encryption you’re essentially talking about intentionally sabotaging the networks that people now rely on for everything from transportation to healthcare. — PolitiTweet.org

A timely flashback to 2015: when @nakashimae and I broke the news that the Obama admin explored bypassing encryption, but dropped it after basically all of their internal technical experts warned doing that would be a net negative for security https://t.co/OJyxYA3hhs — PolitiTweet.org

@DougMadory They have some aeration through the water feature and I have theoretically oxygenating plants, but may give them a bubble stone soon!

@JakeLaperruque Minnows (our fish baes) are native to this region and very tolerant of a range of water temps! But also it’s in an area with shade for a good chunk of the day. Honestly more worried about winter and considering if I will move them inside or go the heater route — PolitiTweet.org
