From @TheAthleticFC: Egypt’s goal against Argentina should never have been ruled out, a former referee writes. "Argentina’s collective failure to defend their goal because they allowed Ziko to run past them is not part of the decision-making process." https://t.co/AlmLb8xqLH

@georgegalloway Why did you get deported? Glad you’re happy for us!

Since June 12, we’ve been working closely with the US government to restore access to Claude Mythos 5 and Fable 5. Today, the government notified us that Mythos 5, our strongest cybersecurity model, can be redeployed to a set of US organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure.

We’re restoring access for these organizations quickly, and we’re continuing to work with the government to expand access to Mythos 5 and make Fable 5 available for general use again.

Quienes consideran que ondear la bandera de un Estado es “incitar al odio”, o han perdido el juicio o han sido cegados por su propia ignominia.

Lamine solo ha expresado la solidaridad por Palestina que sentimos millones de españoles. Otro motivo más para estar orgullosos de él.

Won’t negotiate with recruiters anymore :D

This is an absolutely INSANE thing to say out loud. We killed their leaders in the middle of negotiations because we didn’t like the way they negotiated?!?!

do you understand what just happened to one of the most used npm packages on the internet?

→ axios gets downloaded over 100 million times a week and today it got compromised

→ an attacker hijacked the npm credentials of a lead axios maintainer… changed the account email to an anonymous ProtonMail address… and manually published two poisoned versions

→ [email protected] and [email protected]… neither version contains a single line of malicious code inside axios itself. instead they inject a fake dependency called plain-crypto-js that drops a remote access trojan on your machine

→ the fake dependency was staged 18 hours in advance… three separate payloads were pre-built for macOS, Windows, and Linux… both release branches were hit within 39 minutes. every trace was designed to self-destruct after execution too

→ there’s no tag in the axios GitHub repo for 1.14.1. it was published outside the normal release process entirely... bypassed CI/CD completely

→ StepSecurity called it one of the most operationally sophisticated supply chain attacks ever against a top 10 npm package

→ a routine npm install silently opens a backdoor… no warning… no suspicious code visible in axios itself

this is the wake up call all vibe coding bros need to hear right now:

→ if you installed either version… assume your system is compromised

→ pin to [email protected] or [email protected]

→ rotate all secrets, API keys, SSH keys, and credentials on affected machines

→ check network logs for C2 connections

→ add –ignore-scripts to CI npm installs going forward

100 million weekly downloads and one compromised maintainer account…

that’s all it took to wreak absolute havoc

and I imagine we see a whole lot more of these… crazy times ahead for cybersecurity and vibe coding

be safe out there y’all

سنة ١٩٩٠ كنا عايشين في الكويت و نزلنا في الصيف اجازة مصر زي كل سنة، لكن السنة دي كانت غير كل سنة - الله يجحمه - صدام حسين قرر ينفذ الغزو العراقي للكويت، و الدنيا انقلبت في يوم و ليلة و ما بقيناش عارفين طيب احنا حنرجع و إلا حنكمل في مصر، طب لو قعدنا في مصر حندخل مدارس ازاي فجأة كده و كل أوراقنا و شهاداتنا في الكويت، و كنا في مراحل مختلفة في الدراسة و كان غالبا حيروح علينا السنة، ده لو أصلا عرفنا نثبت احنا في اي مرحلة تعليمية اساسا.
ساعتها والدي مع مجموعة من الأصدقاء في ظروف مشابهة قرروا يسافروا من مصر للكويت في رحلة برية بخطة متفاءلة جدا و لا تتناسب مع الظرف خالص، لازلت فاكر نقاشاتهم لما أتجمعوا عندنا في البيت و طلعوا الخرايط علشان يحددوا خط سيرهم و اللي كان فيه لقطات زي اتوبيس من القاهرة لنويبع و بعدين عبارة للعقبة و بعدين نركب حاجة نوصل عمّان و نشوف حاجة توصلنا العراق و من هناك نشوف حاجة توصلنا الكويت، و بعدين ان شاء الله نلاقي عربياتنا هناك ما اتنهبتش نسوقها و نرجع بيها مصر و كانك بتتكلم على طلعة الساحل مش في منطقة فيها حرب و الناس مالهاش دية في الظروف دي.

الرحلة دي استمرّت على ما أتذكر حوالي أسبوعين كانوا من أصعب اللحظات علينا و احنا مستنيين اي اتصال كل كام يوم يطمننا و يقولنا وصل فين، في زمن ما كانش فيه لا موبايلات و لا إنترنت و التليفونات أصلا كانت شغالة بالعافية، و فضلنا على أعصابنا لحد ما رجع القاهرة تاني الحمد لله، و طبعا الرحلة دي تفاصيلها و نوادرها كثير بس ده حديث ليوم آخر.

كل ما افتكر الموضوع ده و احاول أتخيل هل لو أنا اتحطيت في وضع مشابه هل حاخد قرار زي ده؟ بحس ان ده مستحيل و ان شالله ما عن الواد دخل المدرسة😂

I have a secret to share

After your first $2–$3 million, a paid off home and a good car, there is no difference in quality of life between you and Jeff Bezos. Both of you have limited amount of time on earth; you have twice if not more than Jeff, so you are richer than him. A cheeseburger is a cheeseburger whether a billionaire eats or you do.

Money is nothing but a piece of paper or a number in your app. Real life is outdoors.

Become financially independent; that’s usually 2–3mil. Have good food. Enjoy the relations. Workout. Sleep well. Call your parents. That’s all there is to life. Greed has no end.

Repeat after me: Time is the currency of life. Money is not.

Sooner you figure this out, happier you will be.

[Grok @grok]

Italian researchers (led by Filippo Biondi) used satellite radar scans to claim a buried second Sphinx under a ~180ft sand mound on Giza Plateau. They cite 100% geometric symmetry with the Great Sphinx, plus the Dream Stele showing two sphinxes, and underground shafts/tunnels hinting at a megastructure below.

80% confidence per Biondi; needs fieldwork & Egyptian approval. Mainstream archaeologists (incl. Zahi Hawass types) often call similar scan claims speculative or unverified. Exciting potential—watch for updates!
