Thrilled to be back on the beautiful campus of USC. I'll be on a panel today about OSINT ethics! @osintconference.bsky.social

I just used this to reverse-engineer the core functionality of an Android app in about 40 minutes. LLMs driving the cost of reverse-engineering any software to nearly zero seems like it could have some interesting and potentially disastrous consequences. github.com/morluto/rea

The thing about being a liberal or progressive in the South is you do not entertain The Noble Savage/Trump Supporter in a Diner thought whatsoever.

The ICE agent seen brandishing an AR-15 at the scene of yesterday’s shooting in NYC’s Marble Hill has a record of lying, excessive force & getting caught by judges. He also goes by “Shooter Cuni” on social media, & posts the same gun he had on him today W/@dmehro.bsky.social @regret.bsky.social

I like AOC as prez but I really want to see Ossoff ask Vance point blank what’s on his hard drive

Any journalists in San Antonio want to do me a favor?

I guess this is just sort of the logical endpoint of this administration’s commitment to fulfilling their supporters’s desire to vicariously consume violence done to other people.

I was just removed without explanation from Ben Shapiro and TPUSA’s event at UT Austin. TPUSA apparently circulated my photo to security, which was waiting to kick me out as soon as I got in.

Even though I investigate neo-Nazis as part of my job, I'm not a big fan of them.

You can be an expert on things you are opposed to. Just because you have knowledge of something and can explain it in detail, it does not necessarily follow that you are a proponent of them

Yo dawg I heard you like Niño 3.4 so I put a +3.4°C anomaly in your Niño 3.4 so your anomaly has an anomaly

Zeke Hausfather@zekehausfather.com · 6d ago

This year's El Niño continues its climb into uncharted waters; Niño3.4 region anomalies are now at a 3.4C above normal (how fitting!), higher than any prior El Niño event on record. September monthly Niño3.4 anomalies also set a record at 2.9C (beating 2015 and 1877's 2.75C).

Neo-Nazis/white nationalists held a "whites only" conference in Portland this weekend with speakers like Peter Brimelow and Jared Taylor. Brimelow was a guest speaker invited by Stephen Miller when he went to Duke. Now Miller is Trumps senior advisor on immigration. 1/

A year ago, @propublica.org told you immigration agents had detained more than 170 U.S. citizens. We’ve updated our count, and we’ve got all the receipts. The tally: At least 506 citizens detained. Sometimes held at gunpoint, handcuffed, or even deported. projects.propublica.org/american-cit...

Dennis Hastert — the former House speaker who was later sentenced to prison time over hush money payments made to cover up sexual abuse of teen boys — has died at age 84.

Gallery of the final heatmaps. Humans pretty indistinguishable from chickens in this view!

Baldwin went on to say "It was Dostoevsky and Dickens who taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, or who ever had been alive. Only if we face these open wounds in ourselves can we understand them in other people."

keep thinking about "personalised" books/art made by AI and remembering James Baldwin's quote "you think your pain and heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read" these AI bros are deliberately doing a psyop on themselves to cauterise their capacity for empathy

it's cool that Bill Gates' own wife thought the Epstein Files stuff was bad enough that she divorced him, but for the Thought Leaders he's still a guy in perfectly good standing

It is convenient that the Venn diagram of "leftists who use the term ZOG" and "leftists who denied Assad's use of chemical weapons" is a nearly perfect circle.

Scoop — I've ID'd the two men sitting behind Sen. Eric Schmitt during his botched attack on Jack Smith this morning. Ethan Harper (left) is Chief Counsel to Schmitt, and Andrew Ceonzo (right) is Counsel to Schmitt and the Senate Judiciary Committee.

A phenomenal moment in the Senate. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta. Smith denies it. Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury. Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland. WATCH IN FULL, UNINTERRUPTED

I went on the BBC to provide some updates and context on Ethiopia's new war and how it broke out in the first place. As I pointed out here, yesterday bank accounts opened in Tigray were collectively frozen, which prevents millions from accessing funds. The situation is becoming increasingly dire.

New: We obtained witness videos and surveillance footage showing ICE parking their cars, arresting an observer, and transferring detainees in parking lots across 4 of Chicago's police districts. Local officials have tried banning ICE from city property. But incidents in the lots keep stacking up:
