I don’t think I’d archived this before, or posted it, a Dateline NBC segment on #hackers from 1992 that includes a clip from Sneakers and the Legion of Doom and Masters of Deception. There’s also a former prosecutor and an AT&T spokesman.

This is so irresponsible of them. They KNOW people have had unhealthy fixations with their AI crap and it's caused a lot of harm in numerous cases. 😡

I guarantee you i've been going at RFK jr's crap longer than you've been aware he does it. People largely ignored those of us cautioning about the bullshit that World Mercury Project was spreading. This garbage about flouride, paracetamol, YEP those fuckers were spewing that disinformation too.

This has been going on for over 3years now. The longer he stalls on paying, the more likely it is he never will. They need to start selling off ALL his assets, not just some. The amount of psychological torment this guy has left Sandy Hook families with is disgusting.

Supreme Court spurns Alex Jones' pathetic plea, cementing his $1.4B tab for peddling Sandy Hook hoax bile that tormented grieving families. Bankruptcy be damned, the grifter's empire crumbles. #AlexJones

Coffee in the US is now 40% more expensive than before Trump.
The Drink That Americans Won’t Give Up Without a Fight — The Atlantic
Coffee has almost no nutritional value and lots of substitutes. It’s also, apparently, too important to lose.

STING proves its effectiveness once again 💪

As you can see, the opponents are in completely different weight categories — and that’s exactly why our interceptor drone wins.

Light, fast, and highly maneuverable, STING can take down much larger enemy targets with precision.

Pretty much. Both Aedes Albopictus and Aedes Egyptii are more tropical species of Mosquitos and can't usually survive in further north areas. With temperatures getting warmer, and milder winters in some areas, they've expanded a bit in recent years. The virus really sucks but at least death is rare.

If it's outside, maybe not. Or it might take them awhile to bother anyways.

Forcing reporters to pre-agree to publish only government-approved content crosses into (prior restraint,) a red line in First Amendment law. The press exists to scrutinize power, not serve it. When the state controls the narrative, it stops being news, & instead becomes state sanctioned propaganda.

A new Rust-based backdoor called ChaosBot is hijacking corporate networks — and running its C2 over Discord.

It hides behind Microsoft Edge, abuses service accounts, and even checks for VMware to dodge analysis.
