OK but what if the gay furry hackers released transcripts of their text conversations with Heritage Foundation Director and massive pissbaby Mike Howell?

"Don't let the French have all the fun" is an excellent slogan and I submit it to the committee for wide promulgation in everyone's elections.

This is super important work. And it looks like it's actually having an effect. Normal people learn about Project 2025 and are scared as shitless as they should be. The Nation, The New Republic, Rolling Stone, Boston Review and others are doing the work that NYT and WaPo are neglecting.

It's impressive that on a stage where there's a Monster Raving Loony Party candidate *and* Count Binface (not in shot), the Reform UK guy's suit still stands out as terrible.

THE sentence of the day: A Macronist incumbent in the Marseille region came in 3rd in her seat. She just dropped out to support the left. She said, about why she's maneuvering to block the far-right: "Defeats happen, but you can never recover from dishonor."

/8 At any rate, congratulations to the Federalist Society for an achievement beyond the reach of the British, outside the grasp of bloody civil war, impossible to Nazis and Soviets and terrorists: defeating the American idea.

OpenSSH 9.8 has just been released. It includes a fix for a critical race condition in sshd that could be exploited for remote code execution. It also contains a fix for a minor bug in ssh that saw the ObscureKeystrokeTiming feature work the opposite way as intended.

Werner Herzog directing a Maybelline ad: Perhaps she is born with it. What a frightful notion, to be imbued with the fetters of capitalist commodification from birth. It suggests God Himself is a part of our dreadful pattern instead of a refuge from it.

In "Bell Riots," the dystopian vision of 2024 is that sanctuary districts would be designated which legally permit the unhoused to sleep outside or in derelict buildings, where food is provided and there's an office that sets people up with work. Again, this is the dystopian part of the Bell Riots.

AFAIK Finkel was one of the "embedded" reporters during the Iraq war and I never saw coverage from anyone in that role that wasn't completely one-sided (this was some of the context that was missing) On Winner, I'd go with "negligent" _at best_ as a description of how The Intercept handled it

not everything right: the paragraph around Collateral Murder (IMO the best thing that Wikileaks ever did) is pretty tendentious and omits some pretty relevant information. Likewise the bit about Reality Winner omits the key context that The Intercept basically handed her over to the feds

INCREDIBLY funny if this gets struck down not for violating the first amendment, but because it runs afoul of the Council of Nicaea.

I'll nitpick this a bit. Tesla would absolutely be a more financially successful company but it would also almost certainly be worth less on NASDAQ. Musk's trick has been getting a tech company valuation for a car company, and extorting his investors with the prospect of that going away
