For what it's worth, I've just been told that there are a LOT of people signed up for this one. Should be fun. It'll be an event. 👍

So last WE, I went down into the Catacombs of Paris. If you're not familiar, it's an insane anthill-like network of 200 mi. of galleries and chambers, centuries-old, 60 ft beneath the surface. @NewYorker wrote about it in 2019: newyorker.com/news/dispatch/…. Here's a short story.

Let's chat
1. By my count, it's 8 vulns with 7 in Webkit. I think a single vuln that existed in multiple platforms was counted multiple times.
2. That's still a lot. Why? Apple only began including the annotation that something may have been exploited in Nov 2020: <6mths ago.
NEW: Apple pushed an emergency patch for iPhones just a week after releasing iOS 14.5.
Since the beginning of the year, Apple has patched 12 vulnerabilities that "may have been actively exploited" in the wild.
11 of them in WebKit.

Yup.
Black people have been trying to say this for years. Decades. Generations.
This effect has been repeated several times over the past few decades. Which begs the question, "Then why do we do the super harmful, racist, other thing then?"
Great question. But you know why.

I think men have very, very few hardships because they are men that are not caused, celebrated, defended, and/or perpetuated by other men, because they are men.
