Did you work with Bill Binney? I had a chance to meet him once and got the impression he was the go-to "get shit done" guy at NSA around that time. IIRC, he mentioned having a group of contractors that worked with him throughout his career and credited them with his success.
I was 50/49.9/.1 the correction would be Canada being okay with Ontario being nuked, or the target changing to Quebec and Canada still being okay with it.
Quebec is the Texas of Canada, if I recall correctly.
There was a third, though unlikely option of the target switching to Alberta, but it turning out to be okay, because it just happened to coincide with a sudden invasion of hyper-intelligent rats, and the human population had already evac'd.
That being said, thank you. You genuinely brightened my day.
Haha, well I'm not sure how Canada feels about Ontario. I'm sure there a few places they wouldn't mind. However, they would probably still say sorry regardless.
For most companies and organizations, this is absolutely understandable. WFH is challenging, and balancing childcare even more so.
In this case, though, it begs the question - why does US Strategic Command even have a Twitter account? Are they going to post fun and engaging tweets about the nuclear football? Twitter seems like something this agency should not be doing.
Personally, I think my brain gets tired of having to filter non-stop PR. Actual engagement would be fantastic though so as much as that exists I’d claim provides a good potential.
It’s fine to have one, but I dislike how corp/gov accounts inevitably become about their new CEO (don’t care) or Bob from accounting celebrating 30y on the job (don’t care).
Canada’s border agency account likes to tweet pics of them “expediting” vaccine clearances while border holdups are their fault in the first place.
Like, thanks for circumventing your slow process, but let’s not celebrate your on-tarmac releases as an unusual practice.
Meanwhile when they reduce their hours of operation (useful), they bury it on their website because people might (rightfully) complain too directly.
The Canadian government has a culture, which is related to Canadian culture, and both of them have a lot of influence over what is considered acceptable to post on their twitter account. Therefore, a tweet on an account publicly associated with them reveals information about the culture of Canada.
