Oh Mr. China? He just wants to do a fabulous deal, probably the biggest deal in history. Trump holds all the cards of course

Only to the kids. The olds grok it.

According to a threat intelligence report published by Anthropic on September 10, the company tracked the group as GTG-20006 and said its attribution was consistent with public reporting linking the activity to Midnight Blizzard, a Russian state-linked hacking group.

Anthropic said the hackers used customized AI-driven workflows to automate much of the attack process, including reconnaissance, acquiring infrastructure, phishing, maintaining access to compromised systems, and extracting stolen information.

Swexit? . . . No, that ca’t be right

Let’s help them then.

Huh! TIL.

. . . rubber for . . rocket fuel?

Neocities! Niiiice.

WHY

Signal failed to prevent soneone from accessing my unlocked phone and starting Signal! Everything was right there!

QUOTED:

you remember Hung Cao. he’s the Republican who, in 2024, unsuccessfully ran for Senator from Virginia.

there are four things you need to about Cao. the first is that overgrown toddler Donny Convict thinks the name ‘Hung Cao’ is super fucking hilarious.

the second thing is that Cao is a little, um, off. he ran for Senate because, quite frankly, somebody needed to do something about all these witches.

“there’s a place in Monterey, California called Lovers Point. the original name was Lovers of Christ Point. but now they took out the Christ, it’s become Lovers Point — really, Monterey is a really dark place now, a lot of witchcraft and the wiccan community has really taken over there, and we can’t let that happen in Virginia.”

here’s the third thing about Wytchfinder Cao: he hates the shit out of drag queens. here’s Cao covering himself with glory during a campaign debate last year.

“when you’re using a drag queen to recruit for the Navy, that’s not the people we want. what we need is alpha males and alpha females who are going to rip out their own guts, eat them and ask for seconds.”

‘rip out their own guts and eat them’ — doesn’t that sound like the kind of over-the-top hyper-macho clownfuckery that would come out of Pete Kegstand’s mouth?

well, that leads us quite naturally to the the fourth thing you need to know: the juvenile Dipshit-in-Chief who thinks ‘Hung Cao’ is a hilarious name just appointed this unhinged freak to be his Undersecretary of the Navy.

“Thank you President Trump for appointing me as Under Secretary of the Navy and Secretary of War Hegseth for swearing me in and putting me to work. Ready to lead our Sailors and Marines.”

oh, wonderful. for once in his entire stupid life, Donny didn’t hire a flunkie because he looked good on Fox News. no, he this time picked the dude whose name makes him think of a big-dick bovine.

worst. timeline. ever.

FUCK

Well yeah. That’s how it works. Military psyop techniques with readily available datasets = putin-friendly fascist juntas.

Holy Fuck

It was a day that ended in “-y”, yeah

It got a five minute standing O from the Venice festival crowd, and that after the four hour runtime. So I’d say, yeah. Sounds good.

I have. The reasoning is flawed.

?? How - okay

Do you want to defeat the anti-trans laws proposed and in place, as well as the political party responsible for them? I do. If you do as well, you shouldn’t trust Erin Reed’s judgement on this because they are wrong on this point.

I’m not suggesting there aren’t bad actors in the Democratic party - I’ve seen the two gubernatorial candidates from - ohio and illinois I think it was - and they’re bullshit and need to get their shit together or be bounced from the party. But none of that can happen by refusing to participate.

Refusing to participate makes the anti-trans legislators more powerful. WHY would we want that.

There was no major movement for trans people to not support Kamala over Trump due to trans issues.

I don’t know how to define ‘major movement’ but I had several - many, even - interactions with persons who identified themselves as trans who would not be voting Kamala for her supposed transphobic actions as CA AG and other interpreted statements. I do not see a difference here.

It could get worse if both parties were vehemently anti-trans.

Well, true that, and we agree to fight that as much as possible. Trans rights, being human rights, are part of any democratic platform and wherever they are not upheld we have to fix it.

I had to flee my home to escape this.

I’m sorry, that is not okay and no one should have to do that. Defeating this outright fascism is the most important step for all of us.
