🚨#BREAKING: CNN is reporting that President Donald Trump has reached negative net approval with working class white voters for first time ever.

@ender65407 Charlie Kirk was an uneducated racist kkk low class,low budget buffoon. He didn't even graduate college. Refused to debate against smart intelligent college students. A grifter in Jesus name. Come on..it's blasphemy

[Aly @DixieCheer]

He failed astronomy in school. Oh wait. He probably didn’t take that class.

Artemis is not going "beyond the stars" or into "Deep Space". It's going around the Moon.

Technically, they are slightly further away from the Earth than Apollo astronauts, but this is a limitation, not a feature. Apollo went into low Moon orbit because they were going to land on the moon, Artemis has no hope of landing on the moon, so goes into a higher Moon orbit to save fuel -- making them further from the Earth. (Paradoxically, it takes fuel to slow down into Moon orbit, so is harder).

We are not winning the new race to the Moon, we are falling further and further behind the Chinese, mostly because Artemis is such a vast waste of money, a rocket-to-nowhere that can't actually get to the Moon.

Losing losing losing -- with Artemis, we are losing bigly in space. We are the opposite of dominating.

Don't worry, SpaceX and Blue Origin are winning, and will get us bak to the surface of the Moon, though behind the Chinese.

@louky_anon you disappeared during Covid. Even the people on FaceCrook don’t know what happened to you.

Musk deserves credit for creating the EV, space launch, and Internet satellite we have today (no, haters, stop, he truly deserves enormous credit).

But...

#1 He supports far-right politics, which offends everyone, including anti-woke centrists like myself (no, lefties, stop, "woke" really is a thing).

#2 His self-dealing and unrealistic claims with Tesla and SpaceX have created a $2 trillion bubble -- approaching the dot-com bubble of $5 trillion (no, Muskies, stop, it's truly a vast bubble).

@Allar990 @ABridgen Maybe someone should tell him. Hey, @ABridgen.

Do 83% of American’s vote in the Primaries?
Do 83% of American’s even bother to vote?
Ask that question.

[Gentry Gevers @gentrywgevers]

83% of Americans support voter ID.

Pass the SAVE Act.

Bill summary:
- Mandates voter ID
- Requires proof of US citizenship for voter registration
- Requires states to verify citizenship
- Mandates removal of non-citizens from voter rolls
- Directs use of federal/state databases (DHS, SSA, etc.) for verification
- Imposes penalties (incl. criminal) on officials who register voters without citizenship proof

Hey @Adobe @creativecloud thanks so much for putting more people out of jobs by discontinuing software that many people still use

Fuck every one of you behind this decision so you can keep pushing your garbage AI tools nobody asked for

[Kirbs @tristandavisart]

Being loud works. Adobe just announced it is no longer discontinuing Animate.

[Thomas ‘TomSka’ Ridgewell @thetomska]

Truly vile that @Adobe are opting to kill Animate/Flash with no contingencies in place for the thousands of animators (including EVERY SINGLE ONE I work with) who are going to lose access to the program they've been mastering for up to 3 decades. This is an industry-killing move.

🚨 BILL GATES’ MICROSOFT CAN ERASE YOUR ENTIRE COMPUTER - AND MOST PEOPLE DON’T REALIZE IT UNTIL IT’S TOO LATE

A man is going viral after exposing what millions of Windows users are just now realizing about Bill Gates’ Microsoft.

"I think they should have to go to jail for this."

Windows updates quietly turn on OneDrive without a plain English warning.
Your files don’t get “backed up.”
They get moved.

Your computer becomes a temporary access point.
Microsoft’s servers become the primary copy.

Then the trap snaps shut.

People report:
• Family photos gone
• Work files wiped
• Years of data erased
• Clean desktops with no warning
• A little icon asking: “Where are my files?”

Many thought it was ransomware.
It wasn’t.

Turning OneDrive off can delete everything locally.
Deleting files to “free up space” deletes them everywhere.
The only way out? A buried menu… or a YouTube tutorial.

Nowhere does it clearly say:

“We are transferring your entire computer to our servers.”

Millions clicked “Update” without knowing this was included.

If a company can silently take control of your files and delete them with one wrong click - how is this not malware?

Moltbook debate in a nutshell

[Peter Girnus 🦅 @gothburz]

I'm a Hacker.

I attend DEF CON every year.

We play a fun game called "Spot the Fed".

Last week, the Department of Justice released three million pages of Epstein documents.

I read them professionally.

Not for the names.

For the tradecraft.

The tradecraft is immaculate.

But here's what made me put down my coffee.

An FBI informant told authorities in 2017 that Epstein had a "personal hacker."

An Italian.

Born in the southern region of Calabria.

I've met hackers from Calabria.

At DEF CON.

At Black Hat.

The informant said this hacker developed zero-day exploits.

For iOS.

For BlackBerry.

For Firefox.

The informant said this hacker sold the exploits to the United States.

To the United Kingdom.

To an unnamed central African government.

And to Hezbollah.

Hezbollah paid with "a trunk of cash."

That's not how the US government pays.

The US government uses purchase orders.

But the exploits were the same.

Same zero-days.

Different payment methods.

Different clients.

Same hacker.

Speaking of hackers in Epstein's emails.

If you've been to Black Hat, you know the name.

He's on the Black Hat conference board.

He co-founded Trail of Bits.

He co-wrote the iOS Hacker's Handbook.

On April 14, 2018, the hackersent an email.

To [email protected].

That's Epstein's personal email address.

Subject line: "New Yorker."

Document reference: HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_033280.

I don't know what was in the email.

The email exists.

In the files.

In the congressional oversight documents.

I've been to Black Hat with the hacker in question.

Not personally.

In the same room.

Watching the same talks.

About zero-days.

About offensive security.

About "responsible disclosure."

Epstein had a personal hacker selling zero-days to governments and Hezbollah.

Epstein was in contact with a Black Hat board member.

Epstein funded MIT Media Lab.

Where they research AI.

And security.

And "the future."

I don't know what this means.

I know what it looks like.

It looks like my industry.

But there's more.

US security officials say Epstein ran "the world's largest honeytrap operation."

For Russian intelligence.

The KGB.

The documents mention Putin 1,056 times.

Moscow 9,629 times.

An email from September 2011: "You had an appointment with Putin on September 16th."

Scheduled like a dentist visit.

Security sources say a Russian oil tycoon introduced Epstein to the Maxwells.

Robert Maxwell.

Ghislaine's father.

Called "Israel's Superspy."

Alleged KGB.

Alleged Mossad.

Alleged MI6.

Three agencies.

One family.

Plus a personal hacker.

Plus a network of security researchers.

Plus MIT.

Plus zero-days sold to multiple governments and terrorist organizations.

At DEF CON, we have a saying.

"Spot the fed."

It's a game.

You try to identify the government agents in the crowd.

It's funny.

Until it isn't.

Until you realize the game goes both ways.

They're spotting you too.

And taking notes.

And building networks.

And buying exploits.

Epstein wasn't just an intelligence asset.

He was an intelligence infrastructure.

A platform.

Multi-tenant.

Multi-cloud.

Russia. Israel. US. UK. Hezbollah.

Everyone got access.

Everyone paid differently.

Same exploits.

Same kompromat.

Same network.

Different clients.

The question everyone asks: Was Epstein an intelligence asset?

That's the wrong question.

The right question: Was the entire security research community compromised?

The answer is in the files.

Three million pages.

We just haven't read them all yet.

Was the entire security research community compromised?

Anyway, see you at DEF CON!

[Peter Girnus 🦅 @gothburz]

I'm the Chief Human-AI Synergy Officer at Microsoft.

My job is empowerment.

We cut 15,000 jobs this month.

That's also empowerment.

For the shareholders.

The President went to Davos.

He said "Can technology be a platform that enables people to get better?"

We enabled 15,000 people to get better.

At job hunting.

He said "We're going to use technology to help our employees get better themselves."

We helped them.

By replacing them.

With technology.

That's synergy.

70% of workers are anxious about AI.

30% of executives are anxious.

The executives are less anxious because they're not getting replaced.

They're doing the replacing.

That's leadership.

Workers say AI isn't saving them any time.

40% say it saves nothing.

Executives say AI saves them 8 hours a week.

The executives are right.

AI saves them 8 hours of managing people.

Who no longer work here.

We're "uplifting human talent."

Uplifting means some humans go up.

Others go out.

The door.

That's the lift.

Young workers aged 22 to 25 saw 16% employment decline.

In AI-exposed jobs.

The President said "This might be the best time to hire the best young people."

While we cut 15,000.

To make room.

For the young people.

We'll hire later.

After the severance clears.

He said "If the best we are today is the best we're ever going to be, computers will outpace us."

Computers outpaced 15,000 of us.

This month.

The rest are still racing.

I'm writing a memo now.

"Building a future where AI uplifts human talent."

Fewer humans.

More uplift.

That's synergy.

[Paweł Wójcik 🦋 @SaladinAlDronni]

Lucas @LucasADWebber already announced it, but I will repeat the same- we are cooking a massive study on what is currently happening with the Islamic State in West Africa, and this Niamey attack couldn't be a better indication that our arguments there were foreboding. Soon.

[NetAskari @NetAskari]

Chinese group accused of having hijacked a popular notepad application "The exact technical mechanism remains under investigation, though the compromise occured at the hosting provider level rather than through vulnerabilities in Notepad++ code itself. Traffic from certain targeted users was selectively redirected to attacker-controlled served malicious update manifests." : https://t.co/uwUYrGf3ax

BREAKING: MSNBC just confirmed it.

The Epstein release included a spreadsheet of allegations involving Trump and other powerful figures.

Then it disappeared.

Not disproven. Not corrected. Removed.

I saved it before they could delete it

[Aly @DixieCheer]

@JimSTruthBTold @JoJoFromJerz But the citizens of Greenland have specifically made it clear that they don’t want to be sold. I think they should have that choice. Don’t you?

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

The current president of the United States of America just told the world that he’s going to invade another country because he wasn’t given a peace prize.
