I first became aware of the hack when Google called.
The guy who helped got me protected. Said the attempted hack was coming from Warsaw.
Over the next few minutes I found some that had been broken into.
Including X. They sent some naughty pictures to you all.
I would never do that.
Google is the best. Saved me today.
And this was while my friend and I were driving to Tahoe.
Tesla’s full self driving saved my life today too.
We immediately turned around to home.
I wasn’t paying attention the whole way home. Too distracted.
It was a learning day. Wasn’t fun.

Anybody who buys a TV because Dua Lipa is on the image of the tv that’s on the box shouldn’t be allowed to vote
Rob Freund@RobertFreundLaw
Yesterday, Dua Lipa sued Samsung for using her image on TV boxes without permission. She seeks actual damages of at least $15 million. She alleges straightforward claims for violating her publicity rights and false endorsement, in addition to copyright and trademark claims. She cites social posts showing customer reactions to the box. One fan wrote "I wasn't even planning on buying a TV but I saw the box so I decided to get it." Other comments included "I'd get that TV just because Dua is on it."

Christopher Hitchens: ”In 1786, when the United States was barely a country, it was having its sailors taken as slaves by the Barbary states, the states of the Ottoman Empire and North Africa. Tripoli, shores of Tripoli. Ships stopped, its crews carried off into slavery. We estimate 1.5 million European and American slaves taken between 1750 and 1815.
Jefferson and Adams went to their ambassador in London and said, why do you do this to us? The United States has never had a quarrel with the Muslim world of any kind. We weren't in the crusades. We weren't at war with Spain. Why do you do this to our people and our ships? Why do you plunder and enslave our people? The ambassador said very plainly, Mr. Abdul Rahman said, because the Quran gives us permission to do so, because you are infidels, and that's our answer. Jefferson said, well, in that case, I will send a navy which will crush your state, which he did.
Islamic fundamentalism is not created by American democracy. It's a lie to say so. It's a masochistic lie, and it excuses those who are the real criminals, and blames us for the attacks made upon us.”

Let me get this straight…
A man was being publicly destroyed by the entire political establishment.
His character was being shredded on national television.
Every bully in Washington was telling him to quit.
And his response?
"I'd rather die than withdraw from the process."
"I will not be scared. I don't like bullies. I've never run from bullies. I never cry uncle, and I'm not gonna cry uncle today."
That was 1991.
Senate confirmation hearings. Anita Hill allegations. The full weight of the media and the political machine aimed at one man.
And he didn't flinch.
Not for the seat.
Not for the title.
But because he refused to let bullies win.
35 years later, Clarence Thomas is still on the Supreme Court.
The bullies are still mad about it.
i'm not here to make you comfortable i'm here to make you informed.. follow if you want the real story.

Woman who went to work for the social services department said she started out as a full liberal, but by the time she left the job, she came out a Republican.
She says that through anyone’s Social Security number who applied for benefits, she was able to tell whether a person was working, owned property or cars, the status of their bank accounts, and their salary.
However, she says there is a loophole that allows illegal aliens without a Social Security number to also apply for benefits such as food stamps, healthcare, housing, WIC, and childcare.
If these illegals had children, their kids would receive benefits as well. According to her, the department had no way to verify whether these immigrants had income, owned property, or how much money they made.
She claims that illegal immigrant parents would receive $1,200 per child, plus $275 per person in cash assistance and food stamps, not mentioning free housing or other benefits. She also says that some people applying for benefits would show up with their hair and nails done, carrying expensive accessories and driving luxury cars.
Meanwhile, American citizens often would not qualify for the same benefits. She added that this exists especially in liberal-led states like California, where leadership does not put regulations in place and allows this kind of fraud and abuse, while hard-working citizens are left to pay the bill.
If this doesn’t make you angry, I don’t know what will.

The woman who runs Baby2Baby - the NGO that will be funded by state money to deliver on this promise - sits on the board of Gavin Newsom’s wife’s company.
This is just graft hidden in plain sight.

AOC is historically innumerate, wrapped in the conceit of wisdom of her own making.
Andrew Follett@AndrewCFollett
This is Robert Morris, the richest man in America in 1776. He literally bankrupted himself usinf his vast personal fortunate, shipping fleet, and fiscal acumen to pay for the American Revolution. AOC is stupid.

"We weren't allowed to trick voters with a deceitfully phrased measure which was put on the ballot illegally after violating the state's rule that proposed amendments must be posted in circuit clerk offices for 90 days beforehand, so we have to kill you now."

the va supreme court denied the results of the redistricting referendum. scotus gutted the voting rights act and tennessee carved up the last dem district destroying black voter power in the state. those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable

This sounds cool. But wait.
400 diapers will last a family with a newborn approximately five weeks.
The program will cost the state approx. $12.4 million this year alone.
That money will be funneled through a company called Baby2Baby, which will then provide their branded diapers to 400 participating in hospitals (California has over 500 hospitals in total.)
Meaning that instead of lowering taxes and letting families keep their own money to buy essentials like diapers, California takes their money, pumps it through a “nonprofit” that has overhead and whose CEO made $240,000 in 2024, to provide a “free” service available only in certain locations, and that you could have bought yourself for much cheaper.

@matthiasschabel @SamaHoole @mattwridley If you’re talking about Solar Roadways, they would be terribly inefficient. They can’t angle towards the sun. Debris from tire rubber, dirt make it worse. You’d never recover the cost.

@SamaHoole @mattwridley On the other hand, there’s an almost unlimited supply of pavement that we could put panels over that has none of these issues.

Activist: "You can graze sheep underneath solar panels. It's called agrivoltaics."
Farmer: "I've read the brochures."
Activist: "Best of both worlds."
Farmer: "The panels shade the sward. Productive species die back. What grows is what tolerates shade and compaction. Sheep won't finish on it."
Activist: "But the trials show it works."
Farmer: "The trials run three years and measure ewe presence. Not lamb growth rates. Not finishing weights. Not what the soil looks like in year fifteen."
Activist: "It's still better than nothing."
Farmer: "It's a 30% stocking rate, a steel frame I can't plough around, panel-cleaning chemicals running into the watercourse, and a 40-year lease I can't break."
Activist: "But you're getting energy AND lamb."
Farmer: "I'm getting a third of the lamb, a maintenance contract, and a field my grandson can't farm."
Activist: "You're being negative."
Farmer: "I'm watching a thousand-year-old way of feeding people get traded for twenty-five years of subsidised electricity. Negative would be the polite word."
