🚨 BREAKING: FLORIDA LEGISLATURE FORMALLY APPROVES ABOLISHING PROPERTY TAXES for most primary homeowners statewide

Both chambers RESOUNDINGLY pass Gov. Ron DeSantis’ proposal, SENDING IT TO VOTERS for approval this November

Needs 60% of voters this fall.

Florida is MAKING HISTORY!

The homestead exemption will surge up to $250K to start, and a schedule will set its elimination in the future

However, MOST homeowners will already get effective 0 taxes under the proposal.

🦔The FBI issued a FLASH notice identifying 18 popular router models targeted in a large malware operation. Affected models include routers from D-Link, Netgear, TP-Link, and Zyxel. Attackers exploited known vulnerabilities to install malware called AVrecon, turning compromised devices into residential proxies, essentially renting out access to your home network to criminals who use it to hide their identity online. The FBI estimates access to around 369,000 devices has been sold since 2020 across more than 160 countries.

My Take
The detail worth understanding here is what a residential proxy actually means for the people whose routers were compromised. Criminals pay for access to these devices specifically because traffic routed through a home router looks like a regular person browsing the internet rather than a server in a data center. Your router becomes cover for someone else's fraud, cyberattacks, or worse, and you have no idea it's happening because your internet still works fine.

The FBI noted patches were already available for some of the vulnerabilities that were exploited. If your router is on this list, check the manufacturer's site for a firmware update. If it's old enough to no longer receive security patches, it's worth replacing reddgardless of whether it appears here specifically.

@startelegram DFW is one of the fastest growing areas in the nation but Keller ISD needs to shut down schools because not enough kindergartners? Or really bad budgeting?

Chuck Norris always had Chuck Norris jokes.

Rest easy, legend.

[Time Capsule Tales @timecaptales]

Chuck Norris held a 183-10-2 record and was a 6x world champion in full contact bare knuckle karate.

On top of that, he beat heavyweight kickboxing world champion Joe Lewis 3 consecutive times and also had a brutal sparring match with undefeated kickboxing world champion, Bill Superfoot Wallace, that lasted an hour and a half. According to Wallace, they practically stalemated and "beat the crap out of each other".

Chuck was trained in kickboxing/boxing by Benny The Jet Urquidez and was also trained in BJJ by the Gracies and Machados for 20 years. Even being able to submit Carlos Machado himself on occasion.

Chuck had a 315 Ibs bench press at 180 lbs bodyweight and was said to have a grip back in the day that nobody could escape from because he was so strong. Even Jean Claude Van Damme said he'd never fight Chuck Norris, despite being a kickboxing world champion himself.

Chuck held a 10th degree black belt in Chun Kuk Do, a 9th degree black belt in Tang Soo Do, an 8th degree black belt in Taekwondo, a 5th degree black belt in Karate, a 3rd degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and a black belt in Judo.

Rest in peace, Chuck!

Grok is great! It's the one I pay for! But Peter Zeihan doesn't agree: “Elon Musk's Grock, which is one of the worst AI models out there. I mean, if you want to make child porn, it's fantastic, which is one of the reasons why it's being banned in Europe. Uh and if you really like racist propaganda, Elon Musk has made sure that that is in there to a T. But it'sreally not a very good program at the core. Now, it might be next year or the year after or the year after that. But part of the reason why Elon Musk has been so furious with the rest of the AI community is nobody wants to work with him anymore. And so, he just can't get the personnel into this specific subsector. Uh, so it would probably be 2 3 4 5 10 years before Grock and other AI is capable of doing what Claude is capable of doing now.” https://t.co/YCxD92ikMd

THIS is the real story out of today's jobs report - Trump was handed an economy that was losing private sector jobs and adding gov't payrolls, but he successfully flipped the script, and one year later it's all private sector growth while cutting gov't jobs:

@CNNPR If you don't know how to "do reporting" without breaking the law then maybe you aren't actually a news organization. Lemon faces federal civil rights charges, including conspiracy to deprive individuals of their rights and interfering with the exercise of religious freedom.
