I just found out that my aunt, a lifelong Republican, voted for a Democrat in California.

This never would have happened if she were still alive.

INDIA JUST PUBLISHED THE EXACT LIST OF WHAT THEY WERE SELLING TO GET INTO AMERICAN WORKPLACES

Not vague fraud. Not "some bad actors." NAMED CREDENTIALS. SPECIFIC INSTITUTIONS. Field by field.

🇮🇳 Medicine — fake medical degrees sold to applicants seeking hospital jobs in the US, UK, France, and Canada
🇮🇳 Nursing — counterfeit nursing certificates with fake seals, fake holograms, fake registrar signatures
🇮🇳 Engineering — forged engineering credentials specifically engineered to pass employer verification
🇮🇳 One institution — 36,025 fake degrees sold while awarding only 5,455 real ones
🇮🇳 Price per fake credential — as little as $1,400
🇮🇳 Total seized — 100,000+ counterfeit certificates from 22 universities
🇮🇳 Suspects arrested — 11, across multiple Indian states
🇮🇳 Estimated fakes still in circulation — 1,000,000
🇮🇳 H-1B approvals going to Indian nationals — 71% of all approvals in FY2024
🇮🇳 H-1B holders who ended up in junior or entry-level positions — 83% during Biden's term

💀 11 arrests
💀 22 universities implicated
💀 ZERO of the credentials targeted military bases or government facilities
💀 100% civilian workforce infiltration — hospitals, engineering firms, tech companies

Every credential on this list was designed to place someone in a job that requires skills they never actually proved they had. Not contractors. WORKERS IN AMERICAN WORKPLACES.

Ken Paxton's investigation is still running. These are the credentials it was built to find.

I'll keep you updated. Turn on notifications. 🚨

@KobeissiLetter Great reasoning

[BeyondMemory Intelligence. @beyondmemory_io]

Well, well, well. The public JSON formatter sites your developers paste production data into have been quietly publishing every paste for about seven years. Naturally, we read all seven years of it.

200,000+ documents. Cloud keys, SSH keys, payment API keys, whole tax returns with SSNs, people's full identities, bank balances. Nobody hacked anything. People pasted it in to make it look tidy, as you do.

Full writeup below. Yes, it's as bad as it sounds.

This is bigger than just tax breaks, it’s a genuine generational inflection point.

$55B Terafab east of College Station isn’t “just” manufacturing. It’s the physical substrate for the next wave of compounding innovation: AI-scale compute, space systems, energy, and materials science all converging in one place.

When a county calls something “generational change” and actually votes to back it… that’s rare. And exactly how real progress compounds. Grimes County just positioned itself as one of the most interesting new nodes on the map. I wish South Australia would do this - it has the makings of it already, with all the space activity conducted there...

As someone who:

> Hacked basically every component of openclaw's ecosystem (harness, skills ecosystem etc)
> Helped lead security, trust & threat modelling
> Found 15 CVE's in the software

Absolutely do not run OpenClaw on your enterprise device.

🛩️ This is so cool: A Redditor living under SFO's takeoff path built a ceiling projection that maps every plane flying over their house in real time, using ADS-B, the open radio signal aircraft broadcast on 1090 MHz. Same feed as FlightRadar24, picked up with a cheap SDR dongle and beamed onto the ceiling.

This is outrageous and infuriating.

On July 13, 2026 Microsoft is intentionally bricking Microsoft Office 2019 for Mac.

It's important to note that this is not "Subscription-based Software".

This is purchased software. Mac users bought a "permanent" license for Microsoft Office 2019 (for a one-time price of $149.99), with the understanding that they then can use that software forever.

But, in a little over a month, Microsoft will be putting that purchased software into "reduced functionality mode"... prohibiting all users from creating new documents or editing existing ones.

There is absolutely no excuse for this sort of deeply unethical behavior from @Microsoft.
