We (@gabagool.ing - AKA gabbot) and I updated this with some more recent tomfoolery from this group. They continued the ASP campaign with evidence they responded to our initial publication. They were doing some sneaky calendar stuff that lead to adding a device to the target's O365 tenant.

Los Angeles: if you get tear gas or see other people who have been and someone calling themselves a medic tries to use milk to wash their eyes out SLAP THAT MILK JUG OUT THEIR FUCKING HAND. MILK DOES NOT WASH OUT TEAR GAS. Just use bottled water please.

Russian forces have been building military infrastructure near the Finnish border, according to recent satellite imagery, in moves that could reveal their strategy for what happens after the Ukraine war.

Like I wrote yesterday, it's never been clearer that US aid for the Israeli military is morally indefensible, and there’s never going to be a better time than right now to stop defending it. That's true today, too.

You can no longer accuse Russia of violating the moratorium on strikes against Ukraine’s energy infrastructure — because the Kremlin has officially called off the deal. www.interfax.ru/russia/1021576
