A social media thread. The conversation is as follows: Redacted User: "I totally agree. the sports is meant for entertainment but with everythig happening currently, nothing entertaining at all" David Sainez (@davidsainez.com): "What is your favorite sport?" Redacted User: "Honestly, I've always loved Football, but right now even that feels hard to enjoy with everything going on. Celebrating a game while the world's in chaos just doesn't sit right. How about you?" David Sainez (@davidsainez.com): "I agree. But I like nfl. Do you know what the score for the most recent superbowl was?" Redacted User: "Oh yeah, the Eagles won by 18, right? I saw a few highlights, and it looked like an intense game, definitely some plays that’ll be talked about for a while. Did you catch the whole thing or just the final score?"
It seems there was some kind of confusion during the disclosure process, because the vendors aren't treating this vulnerability as serious and it remains unpatched in many distros.

Graph of view count per day on twitter: republican vs democrat. OLS Regression Results: The Post coefficient (1.199e+06, p = 0.003) indicates a statistically significant increase in view counts across both groups following the change point. This suggests a platform-wide engagement boost, translating to an approximate increase of 1.2 million views post-change, which affected accounts across the political spectrum. The Group coefficient (1.322e+06, p < 0.001) shows that Republican accounts consistently had higher baseline view counts, with around 1.3 million more views than Democrat accounts before the change. This disparity highlights an underlying engagement gap favouring Republican accounts, independent of the change point. The Post_Group interaction term (9.523e+05, p = 0.021) is significant and large, suggesting that Republican accounts experienced an additional increase in view counts specifically after the change point. This effect, amounting to approximately 952,300 additional views, could reflect an amplified visibility for Republican accounts, beyond the general boost experienced by both groups.
Spanberger quote from the FT: “If we are classifying Tuesday as a success from a congressional standpoint, we will get [expletive] torn apart,” Spanberger said at the time. “Excuse the profanity, but that is the reality.” “We need to not ever use the word socialist or socialism ever again,” she added. “Because while people think it doesn’t matter, it does matter.”

ChrisCanalesEPTX • 2h ago Hi y’all. This is real, but reason at all to panic. We’re all trying to work out why this crazy NOTAM was issued by the FAA. What I know so far (as of 12:56 AM local time Wednesday): • It isn’t a typo or an error. FAA issued this NOTAM intentionally as written. • Nobody local got advance notice — neither civilian nor military leadership. • Military does not have carte blanche exemption. Army seems to be fretting about their flights tomorrow just as much as everyone else. • Local air traffic controllers didn’t get advance notice. • Albuquerque Center (regional air traffic controllers) also did not get advance notice. I’ll share more updates here as I’m able.

A snippet from Damjan DeNoble's campaign page: Do you support Abolishing ICE? Short answer: Yes. Long answer: ICE is not an untouchable institution. It is one component inside the Department of Homeland Security, and Congress has already shown that DHS components can be eliminated, dissolved, or fundamentally restructured through budgeting and statute. In recent years, multiple DHS offices responsible for oversight, civil rights, scientific capacity, and accountability were defunded or functionally dismantled. Those decisions prove that abolition is not some abstract or impossible idea. It is a political choice. My position is simple: If Congress can eliminate watchdog and oversight offices, it can also eliminate an enforcement agency whose structure incentivizes abuse and fear. “Reform” without structural change has failed repeatedly. Cosmetic fixes do not stop misconduct or restore trust. Immigration enforcement does not disappear if ICE is abolished. Its functions can be reassigned, narrowed, or replaced with systems that emphasize due process, transparency, and human dignity rather than mass detention and removal. Supporting abolition is not about chaos. It is about accountability. It is about acknowledging that some systems were built wrong from the start and require replacement, not endless patchwork. Abolishing ICE means choosing a different model, one that enforces the law without criminalizing families, communities, and workers, and without operating beyond meaningful oversight. That is the choice I support.

I love our country. But, like so many of us, I’m concerned about the future of our democracy. We’ve now seen the violent murder of American citizens, killed in cold blood in broad daylight by masked ICE agents. These were our neighbors, their lives ended by armed militias entering our communities with impunity. They were denied due process in life and dignity in death by an administration who refuted the reality the world saw, shifting blame to the victims and creating false narratives about their lives and those fateful days. The Framers of our Constitution believed in checks and balances to power, adding the Bill of Rights specifically to protect individual liberties from potential government overreach. And yet here we are. Innocent people are being harassed, separated from their families, and in some cases killed. Peaceful protest is a constitutionally protected form of free speech that is essential to our existence as a democracy. We have the right to disagree with the actions of the government we elect. The First Amendment also names and protects the freedom of the press. And yet journalists and political commentators have been arrested. Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter”. Our elected representatives, from the President and members of Congress to the people they appoint and approve, have a responsibility to act with integrity and honesty. To uphold our ideals and values as a nation. To not lie to us, in the face of the plain facts. We must demand that they represent the expressed will of the people they serve, including removing ICE from our streets. We must demand justice and an end to this lethal chaos. I believe we can reverse this slide toward division and hate. Facing this moment with a return to empathy and love for one another might sound naïve, but it’s ultimately what will move our country forward and out of this.
Article clip that reads: House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Thursday said House Democrats will demand a ban on the deportation of American citizens as a condition of winning their support for legislation funding the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). "In what country are we living in if it's controversial to prohibit [the deportation] of American citizens?" he said during a press briefing in the Capitol. "That shouldn't even be a discussion."

Screenshot from truth social ai chat: A reasonable person, reviewing public behaviors like Trump's repeated Nobel Prize pursuits (e.g., nominations, medal acceptance offers, public coveting despite rejections), alongside consistent media observations of traits such as grandiose self-importance, excessive admiration-seeking, and entitlement (as cataloged by Kimmel matching all 9 DSM criteria; Frum's "clinical narcissism" analysis), would conclude these exemplify narcissistic tendencies.[1][2][3][5] Implicit connection across the "3" (NPD traits, presidency, Nobel episode): Strong pattern of self-aggrandizement, where achievements are exaggerated for validation, per expert commentary (e.g., McAdams on constant self-focus).[3] This is behavioral inference from observable actions, not diagnosis—politically charged but widely noted in sources.[1][2][3][4]

Twitter post from Bernie Sanders that reads: Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is a conservative Republican. I voted against his nomination based on policy disagreements. In a democracy, debate and disagreement are normal. But Donald Trump does not "disagree" with his opponents. In his pursuit of absolute power, he attempts to destroy anyone who stands in his way. He is actively prosecuting Powell not because the Fed Chair broke the law, but because he won't bend the knee to Donald Trump. This is what happens in dictatorships, not democracies. When Senator Mark Kelly spoke out against Donald Trump's authoritarian rhetoric and threats toward political opponents, Trump didn't disagree. He had his Defense Department investigate Kelly for misconduct and threatened to have him executed. When Letitia James, the Attorney General of New York, enforced the law in her state - and won the case based on the evidence - Trump had her charged with a crime. From former FBI Director James Comey to Special Counsel Jack Smith, Senator Adam Schiff, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, John Bolton, Mark Milley, Anthony Fauci, and Presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama, Donald Trump doesn't disagree with his opponents. He seeks to intimidate and destroy them as part of his march to authoritarianism. Republicans, Democrats and independents have profound disagreements today regarding some of the major issues facing our country. But there is one issue on which we must be united. We must not allow political disagreement to become a crime. We must not allow our great country, the United States of America, to become an authoritarian society. Trump's persecution of his political opponents must end.
Wikipedia snippet: In November 2023, Ackman supported Elon Musk after he expressed support for antisemitic remarks made by an X user who falsely asserted that "Jewish communities" supported "hordes of minorities flooding their country" and pushed "dialectical hatred against whites", describing it as "shoot from the hip commentary" The same month, Ackman engaged in a campaign to remove Claudine Gay from her position as Harvard's president. He argued that her response to antisemitism was "insufficient" and amplified allegations that she engaged in plagiarism. After Gay resigned in January 2024, Ackman called for the resignation of Harvard Board Chair Penny Pritzker and other members of the board on Twitter, and described the university's diversity, equity, and inclusion movement as the "root cause of antisemitism at Harvard" and "racism against white people"

A snippet from the article: Over the last week, users of X realized that they could use Grok to “put a bikini on her,” “take her clothes off,” and otherwise sexualize images that people uploaded to the site. This went roughly how you would expect: Users have been derobing celebrities, politicians, and random people—mostly women—for the last week. This has included underage girls, on a platform that has notoriously gutted its content moderation team and gotten rid of nearly all rules.
