Eric Idle tells infosec world to always look on the bright side of life The Wednesday keynote at RSA is often not time for something completely serious, and so it was that Monty Python's Eric Idle got the assembled throng singing along to some of the troupe's most popular songs. The comedian and composer remarked he was born Idle 80 years ago and saw no reason to give it up. But he advised …
Unfortunately for Herr Twitler, being upper class is not just about money.
Given that money is all he has (and he's having less of that day after day), his transition to official lower-class-drug-addict will be officialized soon enough.
Scrooge McDuck will reign supreme once again, just you watch . . .
He [Eric Idle] said he was a bit worried about "Muskolini" and was thinking about staging an intervention.
Quite why anyone would want to make a dangerous enemy of a billionaire stoner, and an unnecessary target of oneself in the twilight of one’s years, is I suppose to be expected and quite typical of a Full Monty Python. :-)
Don’t do it, Eric, ... not even in fun :-)

Musk fans can be dangerous against one person, or a even few people. They are useless against a large number of people. A large number of Twitter users who got a free blue check mark are saying they did not want it and certainly did not pay for it. You do not have to be afraid and Musk is working hard on becoming a millionaire.
Heroes indeed in their heyday, and even more impressive in a time before a more general universal knowledge of the Church's systemic institutional child sexual abuse was publicly known and acknowledged/admitted.
Is there any further word on the actual nature of Eric's proposed intervention. It might very well be that attractive simple old faithful ..... a don't bogart that joint pow wow where/when they can chew the fat and set the world right whilst enjoying the munchies ..... so despised by the status quo because of the problems it reveals yet to be solved by other than any self-serving status quo proposed solution.
Nice one, Eric ...... Just do it. Go for it. What's not to like?
I remember two back to back keynotes at a GSM conference in Cannes, first by Douglas Adams followed by Richard Branson. You can guess which was good and which was bad.
The best line was when Douglas told the audience of phone manufacturers that he had invented the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, a portable device with a tiny screen and terrible interface but he was a fiction writer, what was their excuse?
