This one dude who ruined Nikola Teslaโ€™s good name has spent almost 500 **million** to propagandize Texas and buy a Ken Paxton doll
Elon Musk's X account has devolved into a 24/7 exercise in dumbfuckery. This is what truly desperate shitposting looks like. He's losing, he knows it โ€” and the meltdown has been spectacular.

I wonโ€™t share the pictures of decapitated Ukrainians whose heads have been mounted on fences surrounding Russian installations. Or the mass graves with tiny bodies buried under what was likely their parents. Shot last to ensure theyโ€™d witness the massacre of their own children.

Black October Halloween has come early Sci-fi style ๐Ÿค–
they're calling it "Black October" and i don't think people realize how serious this is in the last three weeks there have been more than 20 major cybersecurity incidents. not in a year. not in a quarter. in three weeks any ONE of these would normally be the biggest story of the year PHP: two critical holes in the code behind about 70% of websites. severity 9.2 out of 10. governments pulled their own sites offline GitLab: where companies store their code. a perfect 10 out of 10 severity hole in every version since 2014 Railway: a service that runs apps for other companies was hacked. it told all users to replace their secret keys LiteLLM: an AI tool downloaded about 23 million times a week shipped a password stealer for about two hours Zeabur: an app hosting service says 321,810 accounts were hit. it's shutting down by the end of the year Microsoft: says a China-aligned hacking group used AI helpers against hundreds of organizations. some fully taken over in under 3 hours Ahold Delhaize: the owner of Food Lion and Stop & Shop pulled its websites and apps offline after an attack and that's not even half the list AI helpers are now doing the hacking. one hacker broke into more than 100 companies with them. about $50 a break-in security experts are openly rattled. one at Johns Hopkins calls the internet "dry tinder". a former OpenAI researcher says it feels like March 1, 2020 for online security and asks if internet lockdowns are a couple of months away if you run a website, use cloud apps, or keep passwords and keys saved online you are potentially affected update everything. change your passwords on key accounts. turn on two-step login (2FA) everywhere. back up what you can't lose this is not a normal week on the internet. this is something different

ok this is funny
Sydney Sweeney reveals in an interview that she doesnโ€™t care about the PHP vulnerability because she moved everything to Rust in 2024. โ€œThey said the rewrite would take six months. Weโ€™re on month 30. We havenโ€™t shipped a feature since, but Iโ€™m having a very normal Wednesday.โ€

not surprised his heart is black mold, imo
While Kushner Negotiated for America, the Screen Showed Something Far More Sinister Jared Kushner's hacked phone exposes secret billion-dollar money trail and possible crimes of federal bribery and foreign agents laws if he promised anything in return. In an excerpt published by Vanity Fair from his upcoming book Princes and Thieves, investigative reporter Matthew Cole describes how Dutch military intelligence flipped a Russian GRU hacker in 2017 and used him to access a Russian server holding screenshots from Jared Kushner's iPhone. By early 2018, according to Cole, the Dutch had cracked the device themselves and could watch Kushner's screen in real time. What they observed, Cole reports, was Kushner logging into a UAE bank account containing hundreds of millions of dollars that had been routed through a bank in Azerbaijan. Cole's reporting further alleges that Saudi and Emirati royals ultimately directed at least $2 billion into accounts tied to Kushner. That sum includes roughly $750 million at First Abu Dhabi Bank โ€” where Kushner was allegedly a signatory on an account owned by an Emirati charity โ€” and about $1 billion held in Israel's Central Bank. Jared Kushner is far too compromised to negotiate on America's behalf. His self-enrichment, while pretending to prioritize the country's best interests, is an unconscionable betrayal.

There need to be serious consequences for this cretin. There is compelling evidence to suggest he lied on his citizenship app and lived illegally in the United States for years, so permanent deportation is a good start. But he has also caused deaths, so imprisonment is necessary.

John Roberts gave the president immunity. Nobody gave John Roberts immunity. Congress can impeach a chief justice. Pass it on.
