“I doubled the size of it you dumb person,” President Trump told a reporter when asked why the cost for the new White House ballroom has doubled. “You are not a smart person.” “I've doubled the size of it because we obviously need that, and we're right now on budget, under budget and ahead of schedule,” Trump said.

@memechaotic He survived, but earned a lifetime ban

This is why you don’t mix alcohol and open water 😭

@simonsarris I wanna know why a cheesburger in the states costs 2x more

why do the Japanese like their buns askew?

@PogasicJim @ryanweather You need accurate and updated information for pattern recognition. If the data is missing (from soundings), the probability of a successful forecast significantly declines.

@ryanweather A forecaster in tornado alley should beable to use pattern reconigition to identify situations when the chance of tornados is higher.. Same at NWS Detroit when they blow forecasts in winter on 6 to 8 inches of snow or miss a tornado warning. Both last year. It is a skill issue!

Former NOAA meteorologists: NWS Storm Prediction Center completely missed Monday's tornado threat in Kansas City because of "missing weather balloon" data upstream. More "surprise tornadoes" likely as SPC forecasters are left in the dark about severe weather threats.

@IntCyberDigest impressive

🖥️🔥 Two inmates at an Ohio prison built a secret hacking operation from behind bars, using computers they were supposed to be recycling, they downloaded and sold porn in return for snacks, built a hacker toolkit with Kali Linux and password crackers, and created fake passes to move freely around the facility. All from two secret computers they built from recycling scraps and hid in a ceiling... Marion Correctional Institution in Ohio housed 2,500 inmates.. In 2014, the prison signed a deal with a recycling nonprofit called RET3 to have inmates disassemble old computers for parts. Inmates Adam Johnston and Scott Spriggs had other plans. Instead of breaking the machines down, they rebuilt two fully functioning computers from the scraps. Johnston hid the two PCs on plywood boards in the ceiling above a closet in a third-floor training room. He ran cables from the hidden machines directly into the prison's network switch. To get the computers there, he loaded them onto a hygiene cart alongside soap and shampoo. He wheeled the cart 1,100 feet across the prison, past a corrections officer, through a metal detector, into an elevator, and up three floors. Once connected, Johnston had full internet access and could remote into the hidden computers from any inmate terminal in the facility. He obtained a staff member's login credentials by shoulder surfing, watching him type his password. That password hadn't been changed in years. The prison's systems didn't enforce password rotations, in violation of their own policy. Using the stolen credentials, Johnston accessed DOTS, the state's offender tracking database. He browsed inmate records, searching for a young prisoner serving a long sentence whose identity he could steal. He found Kyle Patrick. Johnston pulled Patrick's Social Security number and date of birth from the system, bypassing a security filter that was supposed to hide SSNs by simply adjusting the browser's view settings. Johnston then applied for five credit and debit cards in Patrick's name. He texted his mother from prison using a free online messaging service and had her provide a neighbor's address across the street as the mailing address. One card, a Visa debit from MetaBank, was approved. His mother received it in the mail, called him at the prison, and read him the card number, expiration date, and activation code over the phone. Johnston activated the card from inside the prison using the hidden computers. Both the application and the activation were traced back to an Ohio state government IP address. He wasn't done. Johnston had also pulled up a Bloomberg article detailing how to file fraudulent tax returns and have refunds wired to prepaid debit cards. That was his next move. The computers were loaded with a full hacker's toolkit: Kali Linux, Wireshark, Nmap, password crackers like Cain and THC Hydra, VPN software, the Tor browser, proxy tools, and encryption software. Investigators also found articles on making homemade drugs, explosives, and fake credit cards. Johnston used DOTS to create fake passes, giving inmates unauthorized access to restricted areas of the prison. He also downloaded pornography onto thumb drives that another inmate sold to other prisoners for commissary items. The scheme only unraveled because the prison upgraded its web filtering software. In early July 2015, the new Websense system flagged Canterbury's credentials being used for three straight hours on a Friday, a day Canterbury didn't work. More alerts followed on Saturday and the following Monday. IT flagged the activity to the warden. Everyone suspected an inmate was involved. Nobody called law enforcement. The prison's IT specialist, Gene Brady, was told exactly which network port the rogue computer was plugged into. He misread the email and checked port 10 instead of port 16. It took him three days to realize his mistake. When Brady finally traced the cable into the ceiling and found the two hidden computers on July 27, he brought two inmates along to help and had them pull the computers down, contaminating the crime scene. He then emailed the warden: "What do you want me to do with the PCs?" The warden admitted he knew illegal activity was occurring but had no answer for why he never reported it to law enforcement. The state highway patrol trooper assigned to investigate crimes at the prison literally shared an office with the prison's own investigator. Neither one was informed. It wasn't until August 7, over a month after the first alert, that anyone reported the incident to the Inspector General or law enforcement. And only because an outside IT security officer told them they were required to. After the discovery, inmates immediately began wiping other prison computers with CCleaner to destroy evidence. Investigators later found the cleaning software had been run at least 10 times in two days, while inmates still had unsupervised access. Four inmates were transferred to separate prisons and placed in segregation with their phone access blocked. Johnston simply used another inmate's PIN to call his mother five more times anyway. When investigators finally seized computers across the prison, they pulled 308 machines. Of those, 291 had no inventory tags. Brady had been swapping recycling-bound computers into the prison network for years without documenting any of it. The investigation uncovered a cascade of failures: no password enforcement, no IT inventory, no crime scene protection, no reporting of illegal activity, and years of unsupervised inmate access to computers, parts, cables, and network infrastructure. The warden resigned.

@weatherchannel best thing to come from the weather channel since local on the 8’s

No this is not a joke…Retro Weather Channel is officially back! 🎶 Head to weather.com/retro enjoy RetroCast Now for your forecasts in the way you know and love. 💙🎷☀️

@SaveStandard Totally disagree. I honestly don’t care which time zone we go by, just as long as we don’t change anymore. It’s archaic.

“Sun would not rise until 8:40am on Christmas. Georgia would be an hour ahead of New York, and two hours ahead of Alabama. Moving into Atlantic Time is a really bad idea.” Tell your GA state reps to OPPOSE HB 154!

@ohitstarik this is my dream. have yet to find one in the wild

Fun fact: if these things land anywhere near you, you can just go grab them i have like 5 of these things

@EricLDaugh Those are felony acts. If it actually happened, the Secret Service would have made arrests and revoked their WH badges..not just banned them from part of the WH. Do people actually believe this happened?? Common sense would tell you the Trump Admin claim is illogical.

🚨 BREAKING: The Trump administration has just BANNED reporters from a part of the White House after several members of the media were caught "secretly recording video and audio," and taking photos of SENSITIVE INFORMATION without permission. Reporters have also spied on private, closed-door meetings and wandered into restricted areas near the Oval Office, and have been seen "ambushing" Cabinet officials after private meetings. JACKALS!

@StevenCheung47 So you’re saying reporters commited criminal trespass, violated Federal Wiretap Act, took unauthorized photos of classified materials (latter 2 being felonies), and the Secret Service didn’t arrest anyone? No one with any amount of intelligence would believe any of these lies

Some reporters have been caught secretly recording video and audio of our offices, along with pictures of sensitive info, without permission Some reporters have wandered into restricted areas (our offices are feet away from the Oval Office) Some reporters have been caught eavesdropping on private, closed-door meetings Cabinet Secretaries routinely come into our office for private meetings, only to be ambushed by reporters waiting outside our doors Press still has access to lower press where the press team sits and can answer all inquiries Reporters can make appointments to see us in our offices

@Lihartke @Real_RobN She was checked with the wand by a security guard on the other side of the metal detector.

@Real_RobN Did anyone else see the detector turn red when that woman walked through, yet they didn’t even search her?

Here is: Capitol CCTV shows Sen. Kamala Harris exiting the Capitol at 11:21 a.m. on January 6. The unelected, illegitimate government filed indictments in January 6 cases for almost a year falsely claiming that Harris was still in the Capitol building. Kamala Harris: “I was at the Capitol on January 6th. I was the Vice President-Elect. I was also an acting senator. I was there. And on that day, the president of the United States incited a violent mob to attack our nation's Capitol, to desecrate our nation's Capitol. On that day, 140 law enforcement officers were injured. And some died. And understand, the former president has been indicted and impeached for exactly that reason.” — Harris left the Capitol at 11:21 for the DNC. Harris was evacuated from the DNC at 1:17pm after “discovery” of the “pipe bomb.” The 1st breach of the inside of Capitol was 2:12. President Trump: “I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard!” 📝Jan 6 was staged in order to hide the actual crime: the overthrow of the U.S. government on November 3, 2020.

@GolfGalETX @SecDuffy The FAA controls the US airspace, not airlines.

@SecDuffy Airline companies should pay air traffic controllers, not taxpayers!

THANK YOU, to the air traffic controllers who are showing up and working hard for the Americans in our skies. THEIR NEXT PAYCHECK WILL BE $0! Many controllers have to find second jobs like driving Uber, just to bridge the gap and put food on the table. Democrats: open the government NOW so controllers can feed their families!

@DDun93 @NickKrasz_Wx This!

@NickKrasz_Wx All part of the misinformation campaign to guarantee the contract when the right inevitably sells off the National Weather Service. Gotta tear them down while saying what they would’ve done different (sans better)

What an embarrassment of an article from Accuweather.

@McDonalds Not worth the $3, especially if it’s made with the “McCrispy” chicken tenders. Those are default soggy af.

never letting u go again

@SinaHartung @venturetwins So you run a doctor’s office and a patient came in because they happened to hear about the AI business you also confounded?

ChatGPT also saved one of our patients! I run a doctor’s office and it’s clear to me that we’ll need to adjust how we practice in the age of AI. We had a patient come to us claiming she self-diagnosed herself with a super rare disease with ChatGPT. i’m talking a 1-in-a-million kind of disease. We were curious so we ran tests. Crazy thing? Turned out she was right. The disease was stiff person syndrome and a dozen physicians missed it before. ChatGPT gave her the idea! She only came to us because she heard @AskEureka is an AI doctor’s office (yes very much, patients are seeking this type of tech!) Crazy world, changing before our eyes.

Woman has lingering sore throat. Doctor tells her to wait it out, ChatGPT suggests an ultrasound, which reveals…aggressive thyroid cancer. I tell all my friends and family - please get a second opinion on medical stuff from AI. It might save your life!

Post a picture of your favorite sign from today's protests. I will go first. I have no clue what city this was taken in, but it made me laugh. How about you? Show me your favorite sign.

@NWSBirmingham What’s the deal with KMXX? It’s gone down 4 times in the past week. Seems like every time a storm tracks over the radar site, it goes offline.

@EdKrassen Recent? The article she printed out (like a lunatic) is from 2021. reuters.com/world/china/am…

BREAKING: The White House completely loses it over Amazon announcing that they will put a “tariff price” next to every item they sell, depicting how much of the price of that good is the result of Trump’s tariffs. Karoline Leavitt says “This is a hostile and political act by Amazon. Why did Amazon do this… It’s not a surprise because Amazon has partnered with a Chinese propaganda arm.” Americans have a right to know. It's not political. It's logical!

@DongyJammin Try seeing out of your thumb, that’s what they see.

what do you mean blind people don't see the color black all the time what do you mean "they just don't see at all." what does that mean
