Really honored to be included on this list! I'm loving my new gig @NASCIO, but it was great to be part of such a driven team at NGA. washingtonian.com/2022/05/03…

Making 50 copies of your house key is probably overkill. Using the same password 50 times is also a bad idea. Use passwords that are strong, long, unique & random for each site or account. staysafeonline.org/programs/… #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth #SecureOurWorld

I just love how this guy talks: “For all of us, mate, if we’ve got people around us who love us and they’re all healthy and we wake up with some purpose every day, we should all be pretty happy in fact with what we’ve got."
🚨Ange Postecoglou on talk of players staying because they’re enjoying life with him as manager: 🗣️"I’m a little bit torn with that. We’re not going in there holding hands and singing songs. It’s how you define the word happiness. My responsibility is to provide an environment for them to fulfil their dreams.” That doesn’t mean I’m always going to be cheery around the place. I think sometimes that requires me to show them the way forward and that way forward sometimes is tough, but hopefully they get enjoyment from seeing themselves improve, from seeing themselves achieve things, from seeing themselves be part of something special.” 🗣️”That’s the kind of happiness I want. I’m really wary if anyone is getting too comfortable, that disturbs me more than anything else, and I feel like I need to give them a push along. I do feel my role is to give them a sense of purpose.” 🗣️”For all of us, mate, if we’ve got people around us who love us and they’re all healthy and we wake up with some purpose every day, we should all be pretty happy in fact with what we’ve got." 👨🏻‍💻[@AlasdairGold via @Football_LDN] #THFC | #COYS | #TOTTENHAM

I hear this was really well moderated.

The news is always like: "America has banned wheelchair ramps because they weren't in the Bible. Finland has made ice cream free."
