Teen Warned Not To Accept Group Chat Invites From National Security Advisors She Doesn’t Know (The Onion)
The key takeaway from the Signal scandal is that no matter where in this planet or which industry you work, incompetent men incessantly fail upwards while being excused for their most awful mistakes, while top performing women get harassed for sending emails.
Update: since this post is trending, it's my personal policy that I do not engage with trolls. I block. I recommend that you do the same.
In a nutshell:
— The Espionage Act contains a provision that criminalizes the disclosure of national secrets through gross negligence.
— The law does not require that the info be classified, it refers simply to national defense information.
Arrest them. Immediately.
Tulsi Gabbard yesterday, under oath:
“I don’t recall specific weapons systems being named.”
The Atlantic today:
“1215et: F-18s LAUNCH (1st strike package)”
“1345: ‘Trigger Based’ F-18 1st Strike Window Starts”
“1415: Strike Drones on Target”
That’s called lying under oath which *I do recall* is a crime

slowly working on a mega terminal cheat sheet

What stage of capitalism is it when companies report record profits, wealth inequity grows, and taxes are cut on corporations and the wealthy while the WSJ suggests you could save money by starving yourself and your family?
I enjoy some of the hot takes in comments on my recent Bosch dishwasher IoT fiasco (where some features are removed from the latest 300/500/800 series units, hidden behind a required app + WiFi connection).
This especially: "You should've done your research before buying that model!"
I'm sorry... but I never thought in a million years if I bought an alarm clock, I'd have to look up in the owner's manual whether the alarm feature on it requires an active internet connection and a phone app.
After strong reactions from both Greenland and Denmark, the US now scales down the Greenland visit.
Originally, Vice President JD Vance and Second Lady Usha were supposed to see tourist sites and take part in local events, but the program has now been changed to the couple only visiting their own military base in northern Greenland.
“Look darling! Canned food! Isn’t that something?”

As Canadians and Europeans, we grumble a lot. Often for very good reason.
But I think why the US Administration hates and fears both Canada and the EU so much is because they are terrified that one day, their own people will realise that it is possible to live in a society that:
-Takes care of its sick
-Gives people dominion over their own bodies.
-Gives new parents time to adjust to a new baby
- Makes hate speech a crime
-Takes the concept of the rule of law seriously
-Embraces human rights
The Electronic Frontier Foundation has released an open source project called Rayhunter. It is designed to run on an inexpensive (~$20) mobile hotspot and look for signs of mobile spying devices called cell-site simulators. Also known as Stingrays or IMSI catchers, they masquerade as legitimate cellphone towers, tricking phones w/in a certain radius into connecting to the device rather than a tower.

She chose to get on that stump. She said "My fans are waiting, I must give them everything. Photograph me like you've never photographed me."
It is more than just a warning sign when two experts on fascism (Snyder and Stanley) leave the US citing political developments - it's the canary fleeing the coalmine:

The talented people there are always thoughtful, curious & kind. They’ve gifted us Mister Rogers, Carl Sagan, Julia Child, LeVar Burton & Elmo. 
It’s appalling to see members of Congress attack them for political points.
