Karen McDonald scares the shit out of civil-rights groups, second-amendment advocates, and anyone with an IQ higher than room temperature. Weaponizing her office at a level that surpasses even current AG Dana Nessel, McDonald is far more clever, calculated, and competent. @Stainless31

@MaxBlumenthal Hope you can make it to Rage Against The War Machine 3.0

Trump explains why the US has attacked Iran without provocation, sending the global economy into crisis: "We're doing it to help Israel" and the Gulf dictatorships

HOLY FUCKING SHIT OMG CLAUDE JUST CRACKED THIS SHIT, THANK YOU @AnthropicAI THANK YOU @DarioAmodei NAMING MY KID AFTER YOU 😍 blockchain.com/explorer/addre…

@IntCyberDigest Changing the terminal's wifi network name to (yourname)_optout_nomap theoretically might help at least the location angle.

🚨🇮🇱 Israeli-linked companies have built tooling that can locate Starlink terminals worldwide and, in many cases, link them to real individuals. The Starlink terminal exposes a connection footprint. Smartphones underneath it leak advertising IDs, location and app telemetry through the adtech supply chain. Time and space correlation links a phone to a terminal, then the same ad ID seen on other networks links the device to an identity. - ~1 million Starlink terminals monitored - ~5.5 million connected devices visible through them - ~200,000 terminals already deanonymized and linked to specific people or devices - Map refreshes every ~6 minutes The companies in question: - TargetTeam (Cyprus-based, Israeli owners tied to Rayzone and Cognyte alumni) with a product called "Stargetz" - Rayzone, which sells comparable capabilities under Israeli Ministry of Defense. A TargetTeam salesman, quoted by Haaretz, summed it up bluntly: the ship can hide its AIS, but the crew still needs TikTok. Sold to governments for counterterrorism, sanctions enforcement and security work. Targets shown in demos covered the Middle East, Gulf, Russia, China and maritime zones. Amnesty's Security Lab warns the same capability puts journalists, activists and civilians under internet shutdowns directly at risk.

CIA whistleblower claims the agency “took back 40 boxes of JFK and MK-Ultra files” that Tulsi Gabbard was reviewing for declassification. The whistleblower also alleges the CIA “illegally monitored the computer and phone usage” of Gabbard’s investigators during the probe into the COVID-19 origins cover-up. “These were Americans being spied on illegally while carrying out duties directed by the President and under the authority of the Director of National Intelligence.”

The CIA has 24 hours to return the documents to Tulsi Gabbard’s office or else I will make a motion to issue a subpoena. These documents have been requested by Congress. @DNIGabbard @CIADirector

This is madness—of a historically familiar kind.

🚨TYRANNY ALERT!🚨 Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes have both been named as possible domestic terrorists, according to the Trump administration’s top counterterrorism official Sebastian Gorka. The second Trump administration is now 90% captured by the NEOCON cult!

The man who produced Johnny Cash, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Adele explains why Hollywood keeps making soulless movies: "The audience comes last. I'm not making it for them, I'm making it for me." "When you make something truly for yourself, you're doing the best thing you possibly can for the audience." "So many big movies are just not good because they're being made by people trying to make something they think someone else is going to like. That's not how art works. That's commerce." "Everything we make as artists are essentially diary entries."

It’s sad that a week before this election people are making false and unsubstantiated allegations about me in an obvious attempt to influence the outcome of this election. All of the claims of inappropriate conduct are false. I’ve never offered anyone money in exchange for their silence. I report all of my farm income, including cash, to the IRS. There are no ethics claims filed against me, nor have there ever been any claims filed against me in my 14 years in office. I have consulted legal counsel and we are considering all options.

🇬🇧 King Charles: "My ministers will also proceed with the introduction of Digital ID." Orwell's 1984 wasn't supposed to be a how to manual but rather a cautionary tale. Say hello to mass surveillance and a social credit system. All in the name of your own protection!

An AI bot caught someone attempting to social engineer it into leaking sensitive keys. Instead of complying, the agent trolled the attacker back. 😂

@mullvadnet @cybaqkebm Android team marked as Won’t Fix because they don’t give a fuck about you. @Android @AndroidDev At least @GrapheneOS patched it fairly quickly.

Apple and Google are gradually expanding their use of hardware-based attestation. They're convincing a growing number of services to adopt it. Google's Play Integrity API and Apple's App Attest API are very similar. Apple brought it to the web via Privacy Pass, which Google intends on doing too. Google's Play Integrity API requires hardware attestation for the strong integrity level and is gradually phasing in requiring it for the more commonly used device integrity level. Apple already has it as a requirement. Over the long term, this will increasingly lock out hardware and OS competition. The purpose of these systems is disallowing people from using hardware and software not approved by Apple or Google. This is wrongly presented as being a security feature. Banks and government services are the main ones adopting it but Apple and Google are encouraging every service to use it. Apple's Privacy Pass brought hardware attestation to the web to help with passing captchas on their own hardware. Many people saw that as harmless since few sites would be willing to lock out non-Apple-hardware users. Apple and Google are both likely to bring broader hardware attestation to the web. Google's reCAPTCHA is planning an approach where they use Privacy Pass on Apple hardware, their own approach on Google Mobile Services Android devices and a QR code scanning system to require an iOS or Google certified Android device for Windows and other systems: support.google.com/recaptcha/answ… Banking and government services increasingly require using a mobile app where they can use attestation to force using an Apple or Google approved device and OS. Apple's privacy pass, Google's 'cancelled' Web Environment Integrity and now reCAPTCHA Mobile Verification are bringing this to the web. Current media coverage for reCAPTCHA Mobile Verification misunderstands it and the impact of it. They're bringing a hardware attestation requirement to Windows, desktop Linux, OpenBSD, etc. by requiring a QR scan from a certified smartphone to pass reCAPTCHA in some cases. They could expand it more. Control over reCAPTCHA puts Google in a position where they can require having either iOS or a certified Android device to use an enormous amount of the web. Google defines certification requirements for Android which includes forcing bundling Google Chrome, etc. It's enormously anti-competitive. Google's Play Integrity API bans using GrapheneOS despite it being far more secure than anything they permit. It also bans using any other alternative. This isn't somehow specific to an AOSP-based OS. You can't avoid this by using a mobile OS based on FreeBSD instead. You'll just be more locked out. Google's Play Integrity API permits devices with no security patches for 10 years. The device integrity level can be bypassed via spoofing but they can detect it quite well and block it once it starts being done at scale. The strong integrity level requires leaked keys from TEEs/SEs to bypass it. It doesn't provide a useful security feature, but it does lock out competition very well. Services requiring Apple App Attest or Google Play Integrity are primarily helping to lock in Apple and Google having a duopoly for mobile devices. Play Integrity is more relevant due to AOSP being open source. Governments are increasingly mandating using Apple's App Attest and Google's Play Integrity for not only their own services but also commercial services. The EU is leading the charge of making these requirements for digital payments, ID, age verification, etc. Many EU government apps require them. Instead of governments stopping Apple and Google from engaging in egregiously anti-competitive behavior, they're directly participating in locking out competition via their own services. Requiring people to have an Apple device or Google-certified Android device is anti-competition, not security. reCAPTCHA Mobile Verification will currently work with sandboxed Google Play on GrapheneOS but it clearly exists to provide a way for them to start using hardware attestation on systems without it. People without an iOS or Android device will be locked out when this is required even without that. This isn't about security or any missing functionality. GrapheneOS can be verified via hardware attestation. Google bans using GrapheneOS for Play Integrity because we don't license Google Mobile Services and conform to anti-competitive rules already found to be illegal in South Korea and elsewhere. Services shouldn't ban people from using arbitrary hardware and operating systems in the first place. Google's security excuse is clearly bogus when they permit devices with no patches for 10 years but not a much more secure OS. It's for enforcing their monopolies via GMS licensing, that's all.

@GovMikeHuckabee @Israel Stop lying for Israel. You're supposed to represent Americans, not Israel. The $3.8b is the absolute minimum the US gives. Biden gave $18b in one year alone. The costs Tucker is describing are military deployment costs to protect Israel. And stop worshipping Jonathan Pollard.

The new intern just asked me if I can teach him about our network architecture. Smart kid. Eager. Reminds me of myself ten years ago. I said absolutely, and I've started showing him all our systems. But here's what I'm really doing: I'm training him to handle all the boring shit I don't want to do anymore. Password resets? Teaching him. Basic troubleshooting? His now. Routine maintenance tasks? I'm creating detailed documentation for him. In three months, he's going to be handling 60% of my workload. My boss thinks I'm being a great mentor. The intern thinks he's getting valuable experience. I'm just delegating everything tedious. Everybody wins!

Stop investing in index funds and start hoarding catalytic converters from 1998 Honda Civics. The global elite don't want you to know about the scrap metal arbitrage opportunity sitting in your neighbor's driveway. I haven't slept in 72 hours because I've been monitoring platinum prices on the dark web. My portfolio is currently stacked in the bathtub of a Motel 6. The maid knocked on the door this morning. I hissed at her through the keyhole and slid a twenty-dollar bill under the doorframe. She needs to understand that I'm operating on a higher financial frequency. My financial advisor told me I'm experiencing a manic episode. I told him he's a pawn of the fiat currency regime. Tomorrow I'm renting a U-Haul and heading into the desert. Real wealth is heavy.

Thirteen days from now, Thomas Massie will prove whether or not pro-American politics are allowed in Donald Trump’s Republican Party.

When is everyone going to start realizing that the manic on again off again war/peace rhetoric is really just insider trading? And sprinkle in some murder. Only a select few in the top tax bracket are benefiting from this, and the majority of you ain’t in it.
