NEW: A series of issues in Apple’s web browser engine — the tech underlying all browsers on iOS — means that Apple’s iCloud Private Relay tool, which is supposed to hide a user’s IP address, in many cases doesn’t actually work. In fact, its exposing users' real IP addresses.

Apple's ‘Private Relay’ Is Exposing Users' Real IP Addresses

Researchers found a group of issues that mean Private Relay isn't actually protecting users' real IP addresses. 404 Media verified the issues do expose IP addresses.

Kyiv. The smell of last night’s attack is in the air. I’m making warcoffee. Reading the news. Warehouses belonging to civilian businesses were on fire. A railway station in the Kyiv region was hit. People were killed.

This Thursday, SpaceX insiders will be released from their first post-IPO stock lockup and can cash out early. As I've been saying, this has all the hallmarks of a Ponzi scheme.

I would like it if evil men with ugly haircuts and spreadsheets simply had less control over every element of my life

Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.

Missouri voters have overwhelmingly rejected Amendment 5, the GOP-backed plan to phase out the state income tax and replace it with higher sales taxes

Missouri voters reject Amendment 4. The Republican-backed measure, designed to make it far harder for citizen initiatives (like abortion rights, marijuana, etc.) to pass by requiring majorities in all 8 congressional districts, has failed. Simple statewide majority rule stays.

I'm still forming my thoughts about this, but I think a lot of what is so powerful about @mollycrabapple.bsky.social's book is putting Jewish and socialist resistance to the tsar, to programs, and to the Nazis in this tradition of armed self-defense.

I think today's liberals in the US are used to a social environment where pogroms are rare and don't realize the role armed self defense plays in that state of affairs www.history.com/articles/red...

Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.

This is precisely why it's a bad precedent to elect a child rapist & career criminal.

TAPPER: Hold on -- hold on, 'cause I'm not done with the list of women who have accused you of violence. Are all three of them lying? REP. MAX MILLER: Yes. And I'm not getting out of the race because in 2016, President Donald J Trump faced the most extreme allegations in the world ...

Part of my argument against new @accgov.bsky.social proposed anti-homeless ordinance comes from @sarahkendzior.bsky.social :

Jesus expressly instructed this “Christian pastor” to feed the hungry. He did not, however, say one thing about LGBTQ people. Honestly, I have jewelry and houseplants that are better Christians than many Christians.

One more interesting point: this spring I sat down with Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes for an extensive interview about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media has unquestionably aided the Trump administration’s cover up here.

Bombshell new report out from my investigators this morning spanning our four year investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s financial records. This report shows exactly how Wall Street protected Epstein and enabled his sex trafficking for decades. Mega thread following with some key points:

Isn't Mitch McConnell legally dead today?

More cops have been arrested for using flock cameras to stalk women than there are transgender athletes in youth sports.

BREAKING: A reporter asked Mike Johnson at a press conference today, “Should we bother asking you any questions about Max Miller, Trump’s latest Iran deal, or his Capital One scandal, or have you not heard about any of them yet?"

Can't think of a thing that will radicalize a generation faster than "you've gotta let that old man in the corner over there see what's inside those pants before you play Kindergarten volleyball."

Gillian Branstetter@gbbranstetter.bsky.social · 2d ago

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

Ah, the olden days.

I wonder if trump drained the reflecting pool to flood a nearby server room that contained video evidence of him obstructing justice.

People are abducted across America & trafficked to be held in concentration camps now. Our head of state answers to no one, nothing in place checks or obstructs him. His power is becoming absolute. Critical infrastructure broken by DOGE, social supports hacked. Many cities under military occupation.

Chantal James@chantalalive.blacksky.app · 2d ago

I be real tired of folks acting like we waiting for the fascist crisis to come. They keep their heads in the future like it's on the horizon to stay paralyzed about how it's right here, right now. We're not waiting for this to be a dictatorship or authoritarianism. You live the disaster now.

If you're a cis person insisting that the prospect of trans children playing youth sports is not only "a problem" but in fact one of the biggest problems we currently face as a nation, I'd be happy to introduce you to literally a million other things that should be worrying you more.

Actually disgusting that nurses were treated like utter shit, overworked and dying during the pandemic and now RFK is on TV telling everyone that didn't happen. I can't even imagine a more thankless, hostile job right now.

Early COVID mitigations showed us the power of collective action. The environment began to heal. People with disabilities were accommodated. An entire flu strain was eradicated. Folks reconnected with their local communities. We worked together & saved lives.

In other words, going from a constitutional right (Roe) to a constitutional state by state decision (Dobbs) to a constitutional rule of no abortions. What is the DOJ/legal underpinning for that? There isn't one. Ladies & Gentlemen, your lawless soon-to-be AG. www.politico.com/news/2026/08...

Do you ever wonder how they’re going to halve the Earth’s population? They’re going to remove public health protections & let diseases we had previously eradicated surge out of control. They’re going to slash social services. They’re going to kill the vulnerable. Eugenics.
