Via Eric Columbus:

This is ugly stuff. Judge Juan Merchan comes from Colombia. He moved to the U.S. as a kid.

Remarkably, Judge Aileen Cannon was also born in Colombia — but I doubt Trump knows that.

#Trump: The judge hates Donald Trump. Take a look at him. Take a look at where he comes from

The system has failed to hold Trump, his GOP sycophants & MAGA mob accountable for their threats to witnesses, judges, prosecutors & their families.

If the jury finds Trump guilty, I'm worried about the #TrumpTrial jurors.
SNL satirized Trump mocking a juror's looks. He "joked" how his people will screenshot her face & dox her.
"Her life is over folks. Got to take the kids out of school sweetie."
This is a scarily accurate skit.
We can we do?

[Donald Trump (James Austin Johnson) holds a press conference outside of the Manhattan courthouse and identifies a juror. Text from the skit. You see, they do a terrible thing when you testify, which is they write it down and we don't like that. That was a juror. Did you see her face? Everyone just saw her face, and now her life is over, folks. My people are going to screenshot her face and dox her to hell. We love to dox. Got to pull the kids out of school, sweetie. [ Laughter ] pull the kids out of school. They call her juror 9. But to me she's like a 6 maybe.

An unspecified vulnerability was discovered in an unspecified platform from an unspecified vendor. The vulnerability allowed an attacker to do something.

Yeah, fuck that.

I am never working with Synack / ResponsibleDisclosure.com ever again.

It's been beyond my control, for other reasons, but I'll likely be publishing this tomorrow.

I’ve been in this business, writing software professionally, since I started my first software business at 16 in high school an an Apple ][. That’s 45 fucking years. It would never occur to me to steal other people’s code, let alone their likenesses, voices, or art.

Just eject these thieving “AI” companies into the sun. These people, and the VCs that fund them, are a cancer on the software industry.

In response, I actually looked at their code, identified two security vulnerabilities, and disclosed them to their security@ email.

This reaffirms the opinion I held previously.

So that you know, this video posted today by #SyrianGirl account with description “Yemen Houthi forces Score a direct hit in US destroyer” gained nearly 700k views, 2.3k shares and 7k likes… and it’s entirely false.

Users quickly identified the original as 2013 video from Norway naval exercise. The “Syrian Girl” account only added some subtitles in Arabic.

The account has been posting such fakes for years, starting from inventing incredible conspiracy theories to discredit the official OPCW investigation into #Assad chemical attacks against civilians in #Syria and then every single fake, mostly produced in #Russia.

To use #Tor with #curl, use --socks5-hostname or the socks5h:// scheme for the hostname set with -x / --proxy.

curl has worked fine for Tor transfers for decades.

Those options make curl tell the proxy to do the name resolving instead of doing it itself.

Today #Russia and #China play best friends forever and #USSR had been traditionally placed in the same “communist” basked as China. Some fun facts that especially tankies are getting completely wrong today.^1

Since 1950’s China and USSR were actually conflicted over each other’s interpretations of #Marxism and in 1960’s the conflict nearly escalated into a full-scale nuclear war between the two countries.

China criticised CPSU (Communist Party of Soviet Union) over Soviet invasion of #Czechoslovakia (1968)^2 and “Brezhnev Doctrine” which denounced any Marxism version outside of the Soviet one as “reactionary” (Marxist newspeak for “heresy”). This included both Czechoslovak reforms and Mao’s Cultural Revolution in equal manner. At that time China actually developed complex relations with Eastern Bloc countries such as Romania and Czechoslovakia behind Kremlin’s back.

Essentially, everyone called each other “reactionary” and claimed their Marxism is the correct one. Any resemblance to past religious wars is entirely incidental. 😉 In 1968 Chinese diplomat Zhou Enlai speaking in Romanian embassy in Beijing called Soviets for “fascist politics, great power chauvinism, national egoism and social imperialism”.^3

Does that ring any bells? 😉

Soviets and China had a number of unresolved border issues in Manchuria. In 1968 China started escalating these, actually killing Soviet border guards. Moscow, knowing of China’s nuclear weapons and Mao’s confrontative attitude preferred to deescalate… which only encouraged Chinese.

Does that remind anything from contemporary history? 😉

At the peak of the conflict in 1969 USSR found itself in the position of a country with high-tech army challenged by a low-tech army which relied on millions of conscripts and human wave tactics.

Does this ring any bells? 😉

In 1969 Soviet army managed to push back overwhelming several Chinese offensives near the island of Zhenbao in spite of their overwhelming numbers with ratios up to 1:10 Soviet to Chinese. That was possible primarily due to the technical advantage, such as then-advanced T-62 tanks.

A ceasefire was signed in 1969 - on Chinese side by the very same Zhou Enlai who called Soviets “fascists” only a year before, but the actual peace agreement was only signed in 1991. The conflict was only completely resolved in 2008 (!) when Russia ceded 340 km² of the disputed lands to China.

As you can see, contrary to the mythology carefully constructed by modern “geopolitical realists”, there’s nothing constant in Russian or Soviet policies. Russia can not always win armed conflicts, it can cede territories and in general conflicts can be won in spite of imbalance of power. Oh, and calling others “fascists” was used by everyone and Russia was both an user and a recipient of this nomination.
