The malevolence of cybercrime often seems all the worse for the impenetrable jargon used to describe attacks. Perhaps a “time bomb” blew up your computer, or malicious software turned your smartphone into a “zombie”? Even lower-tech crimes get strange labels: “shoulder-surfing” refers to when scammers nab your passwords by literally looking over your shoulder as you type (sometimes with binoculars). “Catfishing” is when you’re tricked into thinking you’re in an online relationship and unknowingly send cash to scammers using a fake profile (the supermodel who claims to have the hots for you may in fact be a 52-year-old man called Steve).
The Audacity of Joe Biden
February 01, 2021
In her victory speech on November 7, 2020, then-Vice President-elect Kamala Harris spoke of Joe Biden’s audacity in selecting a woman a Black and Asian-American woman, no less as his running mate.
The turn of phrase brought to mind the title of former president Barack Obama’s book
The Audacity of Hope, forming a bridge to the administration in which Biden served so successfully.
Using the word “audacity” to describe a politician with a reputation for “reaching across the aisle” was, in itself, a little audacious.
And it was perfect.
For me personally, Kamala Harris’s words reminded me of a brief conversation I once had with then-Senator Joe Biden.
