baboonjunk asked: Why hasn't the attrition staff been retained as official infosec skeptics by the past 3 presidential administrations. They need a dose of rant. Is it because they're afraid?
The political system is full of negativity. Injecting us into the mix was deemed a potential national disaster. Supply of anti-depressants was not available to medicate every citizen. As a result, we turned to Twitter to depress a few million at a time.
Anonymous asked: WTF is the deal with the squirrels?
Squirrels are vibrant, resilient, adaptable, clever creatures that are survivalists with fantastic tails. They have consistently demonstrated a “think outside the box” mindset (watch the various bird feeder videos). Therefore, the squirrel is the patron animal of attrition.org.

Anonymous asked: Why is quine so goddamned awesome?
Because quine happily plays the part of our Justin Bieber pity mascot without complaining (too much). Besides, he brings a dose of comic relief in the form of “hipster representation” to our merry band.
