The house purge has reached a level of ancient boxes that have clearly not been opened in a decade or more. Tonight’s finds include my college ID card, my high school varsity letter, a weeble from the 1970’s, and a paper doll of Dan Kaminsky. FML I SWEAR I AM NOT SAVING ANYTHING EVER AGAIN WTF
If you’re a Democrat and plan to vote this fall, please acquaint yourself now with what looks to me to be a highly skilled extrapolation of where that’s headed. Which is by definition not merely a best guess.

Not that ‘responsible’ disclosure shit again 🙄 No vendor uses that term unless they want to call someone irresponsible. Even if someone drops 0day, patch & move on. Going after a researcher is a great way to turn 1 bad relationship into many terrible relationships.
Dropping 0day isn’t the worst thing a researcher can do. It’s not ideal, but at least orgs can take steps to mitigate. Non disclosure is far worse. What drives researchers toward non disclosure? Threats from vendors. Researchers aren’t criminals unless their crime is curiosity.
The lesson Israel has learned, time and again, is that it can commit genocide and other atrocities with near-total impunity. Now it's exporting the Gaza playbook to Lebanon. Israel's war in Lebanon is killing thousands and displacing millions. NO MORE U.S. AID TO ISRAEL.

I'm so sick of people sugar coating the Epstein files. These rich and powerful men raped young girls and boys and the President of the United States was part of it. #ReleaseTheEpstein_Files
‘dynamic pricing’ is one of those things that at the base level i don’t even understand how it can be legal
No one implicated in the Epstein files has yet been held accountable. The victims must receive justice. Keep talking about the Epstein files.

Trump's VA killed a home loan program. Vets are now losing their homes because of it
Foreclosures on VA loans are at their highest level in a decade. VA has a fix but it is months away and could still leave vets worse off than most other homeowners.

The “solution” in search of a problem is thinly disguised plot to sow massive confusion and disenfranchise as many voters as needed to keep them in power. That’s their election strategy to counteract the public’s overwhelming disapproval of their MAGA agenda open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

General reminder that your local cops also do this to women they've arrested. Like, all the time, in fact! Turns out giving men a gun and a uniform and ultimate authority over others tends to enable bad behavior, who knew
Dom Ervolina@dominicervolina.com · 5mo agoThis post is very popular on Reddit today and I figured some people here might like to see it TL;DR a woman was detained by ICE and later one of the detaining officers reached out to her in and attempt to take her on a date He said she he found her attractive because she was "cute" and "obedient"
![I was detained by ICE, one of the agents asked me out on a date and I feel scared
I (26.f) am originally from Russia (Russian mom/Ukrainian dad) and a couple weeks ago at a Target parking lot, I was on my phone speaking in Russian to my mom when two guys in masks, wearing Border Patrol uniforms stopped me.
They asked if I spoke English, I said yes, demanded to see my ID so I gave them my driver's license and passport card.
They asked me questions like what am I doing here, what is my legal status (yes I am a citizen but they should have known that given I just gave them my passport card), what do I do for work (I work for the VA) and how long I've been here, etc. They told me to sit and wait in the back of their vehicle while they checked my IDs.
While I was detained, one of the agents who stopped me told me to unlock my phone and give it to him so I complied. He checked it for a few minutes then gave it back to me.
Now last Thursday night, last week, I got a text from a number I didn't recognize but as I was expecting a call that week, I answered it.
When I answered the guy on the other line asked me "am I speaking with [my name]" and I said yes. He then tried making small talk, asking how my day was, etc and I answered his questions.
I then asked him who he was and how he got my number but he seemed to try and dodge those questions.
He then asked if I'd be free on Friday night or Saturday night.
I told him something along the lines of "maybe but I don't know you". I then pressed him again, asking him how he got my number, how does he know me, etc.
He then admitted that he was one of the Border Patrol agents who detained me and checked my phone. He went on to say that when he was going through my phone, he noticed I had Bumble and Tinder so thought he'd just take my number and try to contact me directly.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:s2jiq5q6f5uhl7ywqbxtsvmu/bafkreigmxvuleocz2q5pvcze3mviph6bvhumrz2xuwjba6cnp6o7qp6a64)
Eight year old Mustafa Bani Odeh. His parents and two siblings murdered in front of him by plainclothed Israeli soldiers, while he was beaten up by them. West Bank. The same unit executed two Palestinians three months ago after they surrendered. Every. Day.
The Secret Agent was robbed. It was such an incredibly well done movie that has haunted me. Highly recommended. Sinners was enjoyable but The Secret Agent was amazing.
the stink of gender resentment coming off Silicon Valley has been obvious for a while. these men hate women because they hate being told no.

I don’t think unconditional surrender is imminent.
the license criminalization scheme in Kansas...stripping immigrants of their legal status... all of this shows, and is meant to show, that the legal rights of disfavored groups are conditional and can be rescinded at will such discriminatory chaos is incompatible with a real inclusive democracy
Looks like Kansas gets added to the list of States where it is a crime to be trans in public, or to drive a vehicle while trans.
