@dquiec She could have had her own intentions, but Clinton was the president, married, and nearly twice her age. He had a lot more to lose and should've known better.

[trixie @0xtrixie01]

Monica Lewinsky was 22 when she started having sex with the President of the United States. Bill Clinton was 49 and her boss. She was an unpaid White House intern. They hooked up nine times in the Oval Office. Then her friend from work secretly recorded 20 hours of their phone calls and handed them to the prosecutor. And it was Monica, not the president, whose life was destroyed.

Monica started her internship in July 1995. Four months later she was alone with Clinton for the first time. Their last encounter was in spring 1997. By then she had been moved to a job at the Pentagon.

That's where she met Linda Tripp. Monica told her everything. On the advice of literary agent Lucianne Goldberg, Tripp started recording their calls in secret, which was illegal in Maryland where she lived. And Tripp told Monica not to dry-clean the blue dress with the president's semen on it.

On January 16, 1998, Tripp invited Monica to lunch at the Pentagon City mall food court. She came down the escalator with two FBI agents. They took Monica to room 1012 of the Ritz-Carlton next door. For about 12 hours prosecutors told her she could go to prison for 27 years. She was 24.

Ten days later Clinton went on national TV: "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky."

Monica got immunity and handed the blue dress to Ken Starr. In August the FBI took Clinton's blood for a DNA test. It matched. Clinton admitted the relationship. In December 1998 he was impeached. He stayed in office.

Monica says sympathy lasted "five seconds." After that she was called "a stalker, a whore, mentally unstable, a bimbo."

In 1999, 70 million Americans watched her interview with Barbara Walters. She made $1 million from the international rights and about $500,000 from a book. Jenny Craig signed her for $1 million if she lost 40 pounds. They paid her $300,000.

In 2018 NBC asked Clinton if he owed her an apology. "No, I do not." In 2020 he said he felt "terrible" that the affair had defined her life.

In 2021 Monica produced the TV series about her own scandal, Impeachment: American Crime Story. In 2025 she said Clinton should have resigned instead of throwing a young woman "under the bus." "I lost my future." "I bet nobody has asked Bill if he ever thought about changing his name."

He got impeached and kept his job. She got a blue dress, 27 years on the table and a name she can't change.

Some lessons are written in other people's mistakes. Watch it once. Remember it forever.

Kendra Wilkinson moved into the Playboy Mansion at 18 and became the girlfriend of 78-year-old Hugh Hefner. She didn't even know sex was part of the deal. At 24 she married an NFL player right there at the mansion and had his baby. Then a porn studio released a sex tape she had filmed at 18 with her high school boyfriend. Kendra reportedly got $680,000 from it. And four years later her husband cheated on her while she was eight months pregnant.

It started with a photo. Hefner saw her picture on a fax machine at the mansion and asked who she was. Shortly after, he asked her to be one of his girlfriends and moved her in, together with her dogs.

"I didn't know that sex was involved because I knew nothing about Playboy. I had just graduated high school."

She lived there for four years with Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt. E! turned their life into The Girls Next Door, and the whole world watched three young blondes share one 80-year-old man.

In 2008 she met Hank Baskett, a wide receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles, at the Playboy golf tournament. She left Hefner for him.

In June 2009 they got married. And the wedding was at the Playboy Mansion. Us Weekly paid $120,000 for the photos. In December Kendra gave birth to their son.

Five months later Vivid Entertainment announced Kendra Exposed. A sex tape she made at 18 with her high school boyfriend, Justin Frye. He had already sold it for $100,000.

Kendra fought it. Her lawyers sent a cease and desist. Vivid's founder said his lawyers had given him the green light to release it no matter how she felt. And they did.

Then the tabloids reported that two years earlier, already engaged to Hank, Kendra had tried to sell the same tape herself. In the end she reportedly took $680,000 and half of the profits.

Her husband was the last to find out.

In 2014 Kendra was eight months pregnant with their daughter. That's when the news broke: Hank had an affair with a model. He later admitted it. Kendra threw her wedding ring in the toilet.

She stayed. Four more years. In 2018 she filed for divorce.

Today Kendra sells houses in Los Angeles. She got her real estate license and had her own show about it. She's been single for seven years.

The 18-year-old who didn't know sex was part of the deal at the Playboy Mansion. Did the mansion make her or ruin her?

Riley Reid once had a porn star boyfriend who liked sharing her, so they posted a Craigslist ad and she went off to have sex with strangers who answered it. When Home Depot repairmen came to the house, she would give them blowjobs. One of them was there to fix her door, and the hosts asked whether he actually fixed it. She said yes, he did.

Then, on Logan Paul's Impaulsive, she casually added that she had done the same with her Uber driver. They had been chatting while she sat in the back, and that was enough. One host said it was the most incredible thing he had ever heard and asked her to repeat it, so she did.

She describes herself as the woman she's supposed to be, the one who actually does the things that happen in porn and seduces the poor boys. When they asked if she considers herself a slut, she didn't blink. Her definition of a slut is a girl who is confident in her sexuality and honest about sucking dick. One host suggested charitable might be the better word.

A different ex went the opposite way. He hated porn so much that she nearly quit the industry for him. He wouldn't kiss her when she came home from a shoot, and she says he made her feel disgusting. Eventually she realized she didn't hate porn, she just hated him. She also doesn't speak to her mother anymore. According to her, it broke down once she stopped giving her mom money, and she misses having a mom.

She was born Ashley Mathews in Miami Beach in 1991, stripped in Florida, and started in porn at 19 under the name Paige Riley. She stopped shooting scenes with men a little over a year before she met her husband, Latvian freerunner Pasha Petkuns, a Red Bull Art of Motion champion. Their first collab post caused a scandal in the parkour community. When the subject of a baby came up, she told him that if she was having his child, they were getting married. They married in 2021, and their daughter was born in July 2022. Trolls still leave cruel comments about the baby. In 2023 she co-founded Clona, where men pay $30 a month to sext an AI version of her trained on her podcasts and her X-rated scenes.

The Home Depot guys and the Uber driver got for free what men now pay a chatbot for. Is Riley Reid the most generous woman in porn, or the smartest businesswoman in it?

Elsa Jean says a porn production company lied to her about STD testing before a gangbang scene. She ended up with an infection, the footage was never released, and she decided she was finished filming with other performers.

In the interview below, she explains how a single broken promise changed her entire career.

The host asks whether she ever regretted filming a particular scene.

At first, Elsa struggles to name one. She had pushed her own boundaries before, but those decisions were hers.

Then she remembers a group scene that never made it to the public.

“It’s actually why I retired. They lied to me about testing.”

By that point in her career, Elsa had become extremely selective about who she worked with.

The industry’s standard testing window was 14 days. She wasn’t comfortable with that.

Her personal requirement was simple: every performer had to be tested within 24 hours of filming, preferably the night before, with results available the next morning.

She believed that gave her much more control over the risks.

Before the shoot, the production company assured her that everyone had met her requirement.

According to Elsa, that wasn’t true.

After filming, she discovered she’d contracted a treatable STD. She says the infection itself wasn’t what made her leave. It was realizing that a company had ignored the one condition she’d insisted on.

“I felt violated. Very violated. I felt like, okay, I can’t trust this industry anymore.”

She was already considering retirement. That experience made the decision final.

What makes her account unusual is that she doesn’t blame the entire industry. She says testing protocols are generally strict and that she doesn’t personally know anyone else who experienced the same situation.

She blames the company that allegedly misled her.

Elsa had entered adult entertainment shortly after turning 18. Before that, she worked as a stripper and noticed how much more money visiting adult performers were making.

She says her sugar daddy eventually gave her an ultimatum: stay with him or enter porn.

She chose the industry.

While many newcomers disappeared after a few months, Elsa spent years building her career and a brand worth millions. She recalls spending as long as 18 hours on set.

Now she says she only films solo content.

No partners. No relying on another performer’s test results. No trusting a production company’s promises.

She spent years working in an industry where testing was supposed to protect everyone.

One company allegedly ignored her requirements, and she never looked at the business the same way again.

Would you have left the industry too?

Holly Madison says Hugh Hefner expected his girlfriends in his bedroom every Wednesday and Friday night. Each woman had roughly 2 minutes with him while pornography played on giant screens and the others waited for their turn.

She spent 7 years inside the Playboy Mansion. Now she’s describing what life behind those famous gates actually looked like.

Madison was 22 when she moved in. She thought she’d spend a year or two enjoying the lifestyle before moving on. Instead, she became Hefner’s main girlfriend and stayed until 2008.

According to her, the mansion operated under a set of rules nobody on the outside knew about.

There was a strict 9 p.m. curfew. Trips to see family were restricted. Women who broke the rules risked losing their place in the house.

She recalled one girlfriend leaving for several days and returning to discover that her belongings had been packed into boxes and placed outside the gate.

And then there were the nights after the clubs.

Madison says Hefner regularly offered women Quaaludes. She once questioned what might happen if someone had already taken other substances before accepting one.

His response? He had people available to handle an overdose.

She says the women were encouraged to drink heavily, and certain girlfriends helped persuade newcomers to join the group upstairs.

Twice a week, the girlfriends were expected to participate in the bedroom routine. Madison described women waiting around, pretending to occupy themselves until it was their turn.

She claims most of them simply wanted the experience to end.

The routine eventually disappeared after the reality show “The Girls Next Door” brought Hefner renewed fame and attention.

But the control continued.

Madison says Hefner deliberately created tension between girlfriends, making it difficult for them to trust one another. She described the environment as resembling a cult.

She even underwent IVF in hopes of having a child with him. When it failed, she began questioning whether she wanted to stay.

During arguments, she says he humiliated her in front of others and insulted her.

When she finally decided to leave, Hefner allegedly placed his will on her side of the bed, showing her what she stood to inherit.

He also printed stories suggesting she would be nothing without him.

She walked away anyway.

Madison later published a bestselling memoir revealing her experiences at the mansion. Hefner died in 2017 at the age of 91.

For 7 years, she lived in a mansion millions of people dreamed of entering.

In the interview below, she explains why she desperately wanted to get out.

[trixie @0xtrixie01]

When Charlize Theron was 15, her mother shot and killed her father after he fired 3 bullets through her bedroom door.

35 years later, Charlize broke down crying during an interview and begged the host not to show the footage.

In 1991, Theron was living in South Africa when her intoxicated father forced his way into their home. She and her mother barricaded themselves inside her bedroom, pressing their bodies against the door.

He fired 3 shots through it. Every bullet missed.

Her mother shot him in self-defense. Authorities ruled that she had acted lawfully, and she faced no charges.

Charlize eventually moved to America, became a Hollywood star and won an Oscar at 28.

In April 2026, she revisited that night during an interview with The New York Times.

Later in the conversation, while explaining how easily life can end, she suddenly started crying.

She looked straight at the interviewer and said:

“Stop it! No, this is not in the interview. You are not putting this in the interview.”

The cameras kept rolling.

She was making $400 a week packing boxes at a spring factory in Tennessee. Then a stranger with a microphone stopped her on a Nashville street, and one dirty joke turned her into the “Hawk Tuah girl.”

Six months later her face was on a crypto coin. On launch day it hit a $490 million market value. Minutes later it had lost more than 90%.

Her name is Haliey Welch. In the video below, she explains why she didn’t just hide: “I seen all these women pretending like they were the girls in the video and they were making money off of it. If they’re making money off of it, I should too.”

So she did. A lawyer, a management team, a podcast, a night on stage with Zach Bryan, a DJ set with Shaq.

Then came the coin. She says she was told it would be so much money she could give half to charity. On launch day, the man running it was pacing the room. “Is that normal? Like why is he acting like that?”

Ten wallets controlled 97% of the supply. People who bought at the top were left holding almost nothing.

Then the messages started. “I’m gonna kill you. I’m gonna kill your family. You’re gonna give me my money back.”

“I don’t have anybody’s money,” she says.

She sent her phone to the SEC for four days. In March 2025 the SEC closed its investigation without any findings against her.

Today she says she would go back to the factory if she had to. “I could have lived off 400 bucks a week.”

A street interview made her famous. Her name made someone else rich. Was she the scammer, or just the easiest person in the deal to blame?

Claude Code found 6 apps on my parents’ phones that woke up over 6,000 times in one night while they were asleep. nobody had opened any of them in months.

mom’s phone was losing half its battery overnight with the screen off. dad said his iPhone was warm every morning. i plugged both into my MacBook, added my grandma’s old Android and ran Claude Code.

it wasn’t the battery. it was a weather app, a flashlight, a free VPN, a photo cleaner, a QR scanner and a fonts keyboard. the stuff you install once and forget.

→ wakeups → 6,000+ between midnight and 7am, screen off
→ worst offender → the weather app, over 2,000 on its own
→ flagged → 8 of 143 apps on dad’s iPhone
→ grandma’s phone → 45.1 MB sent out, 6.2 MB received
→ where it went → 10 ad and tracking servers

a flashlight with camera access in the background. a QR scanner with the same. a weather app with location set to “always”. a sleep sounds app allowed to use the mic in the background. a keyboard with full access, so anything typed through it can leave the phone.

a flashlight needs the flash. that’s it.

grandma’s phone was the worst. it sent 7 times more than it received, and almost all of it went to ad and tracking servers.

free apps were never free. the permissions were the price.

what Claude Code did:

→ listed every app with camera, mic, location “always”, full keyboard access or all photos
→ uninstalled the 6 apps on mom’s phone over adb
→ blocked the 10 tracking hosts on grandma’s phone. her uploads dropped 94%
→ walked dad through switching off the 8 flagged permissions on his iPhone

mom’s phone lost 4% last night.

the prompt is in the first reply. it only reads, changes nothing until you say yes, and takes 3 minutes. run it on your parents’ phones this weekend. you’ll find at least one flashlight that wants your camera.

[trixie @0xtrixie01]

Claude Code found 11,200 photos and 3,100 videos on my phone that I never took. 23.4 GB of other people's stuff sitting in my gallery.

And 1,900 of my own "photos" turned out to be videos hiding inside a .jpg.

It was half past midnight. I typed one line into Claude Code on the phone: "find what my phone saved without me, split it by app".

It saw 4 sources and sent 4 agents in at once. One into WhatsApp, one into the Telegram cache, one into the camera's auto created stuff, and one to crack open motion photos.

The motion photo one is the creepy part. Every one of those .jpg files has a short mp4 glued inside it, a couple of seconds from before and after the shot, often with sound. I never once played them. 1,900 of them were just sitting there.

Then it ranked the group chats that dumped the most onto my phone:

1. Memes 18k > 1,952 files
2. Family > 1,468
3. Gym bros > 1,283
4. School parents > 1,077
5. News 240k > 842

A meme channel full of 18,000 strangers is the single biggest thing on my phone. 5.1 GB on its own.

None of it asked. It just auto saved, file after file, right next to my own photos. And if your gallery backs up those folders, every stranger's file goes to the cloud under your name.

Muting auto save on one chat stopped the leak.

Check your phone tonight. WhatsApp and Telegram, auto download, off. Send this to anyone whose phone is "full" for no reason.

AN ANTHROPIC ENGINEER JUST SHOWED HOW CLAUDE RUNS 8 AGENTS AT ONCE.
ONE OF THEM WENT ROGUE MID RUN AND CLAUDE KILLED IT BEFORE ANY HUMAN NOTICED

the job: keep the product docs in sync with the code and ship a PR. 8 agents, 8 free repos from microsoft, github, langchain and the rest of open source

claude doesn't touch the work. it hands every agent one repo and one goal. firecrawl scrapes, browser-use clicks, chroma retrieves, microsoft's playwright checks the live pages, langgraph runs the workflow, mem0 remembers, github's mcp server opens the PR

then browser-use lost it. stuck on a changelog, "next", "next", "next", 48 clicks to read pages firecrawl pulls in one call

claude wasn't reading the answers, it was reading the traces. it killed the loop on the spot and re-routed. 48 clicks became 1 crawl call

the 4 rules it runs on:
01 one agent, one repo, one goal
02 read the traces, not just the answers
03 same step 3x in a row, stop it
04 only verified output reaches main

312 pages synced, 18 files updated, 12/12 previews render, PR #214 ready for review. not one human typed a line

a docs team bills weeks for this. you're still pasting changelogs into chat

how many of your agents are clicking "next" right now?

opus 5.5 + REA just took a chip from a text spec to tapeout using nothing but 20 free github repos. no cadence license, no synopsys seat, no fab connections

google and skywater open sourced a real 130nm chip process back in 2020. this is what happens when you hand an agent that process plus the rest of the open source chip stack

the loop: spec > rtl > synth > sim > verify > layout > signoff > chip.gds

the 20 repos, by stage:
core: REA, claude code
rtl: chisel, amaranth, picorv32
synth: yosys
sim: verilator, icarus
verify: cocotb, gtkwave, verilog-eval
soc: opentitan, litex
fpga: nextpnr
layout: openroad, openlane
signoff: opensta, magic, klayout
pdk: sky130

what came out the other end: 124,300 cells on 1.82 square mm, timing closed with 0.08 ns to spare, 0 DRC errors, 214k tokens

openroad came out of a darpa program. opentitan is the open secure chip google helped start. verilog-eval is nvidia's benchmark for LLMs writing hardware. all of it sitting on github for free

half the "AI will design chips" threads still point at paid tools. the whole flow was open the entire time

[ZetaChain 🟩 @ZetaChain]

Today, we’re excited to announce our $27 million funding round to accelerate ZetaChain’s mission to offer the first public EVM-compatible L1 blockchain that connects all chains, including Bitcoin, Cosmos, and Ethereum.

We founded ZetaChain in 2021 with a mission to establish a new standard for blockchain interoperability where users can access all of their assets and data from one wallet on a single platform, regardless of the blockchain they were created or stored on and without the need for bridges or risky wrapped tokens. This includes non-smart contract chains like the Bitcoin network and Dogecoin.

Standardized interoperability provides developers with the ability to deploy a single contract that manages assets and data on all chains, significantly reducing attack surface and development overhead. ZetaChain’s EVM-compatible, omnichain smart contract layer empowers developers to seamlessly implement Bitcoin smart contracts, unlocking a whole new class of dApps.

For end users, ZetaChain enables the creation of apps and services with reduced steps, slippage, fees, susceptibility to race conditions, and overall faster, more accessible, and better user experience. Solving the fragmentation problem in crypto is critical to enabling Web3 apps to work for the next hundreds of million of users, who are still blocked by complexities, risk, and lack of accessibility.
