People don’t understand, they both speak the same language. They’re both natural grifters… What’s more Musk is probably better at it than Trump was. Trump needed lessons from Roy Cohn, who was a ruthless, damaged, low empathy, closet homosexual and self-hater.

Musk didn’t need that kind of mentor, he’s a natural grifter, and my bet is that Trump is fascinated by him. They do similar things in different ways.

Only in certain scenarios would this blow up, and Musk has already bent the knee to Trump, so those scenarios are unlikely.

Musk is a friendly fellow grifter Trump can use, and has power over, which is what Trump likes.

At best we’ll see Musk become a fall guy for Trump’s shortcomings. But seeing as Trump may later die in office, Musk might also avoid such a fate. Only time will tell.

Finally an electable party in Japan!

Yes, it’s in the air, it’s in what he says, the lies he tells, and whose emotions they’re aimed at. It’s in the American exceptionalism he sells.

That’s the vision the left has to fit into, and it’s been done before. Bernie was doing it in 2016.

Compare that coherent vision of American exceptionalism with this:

Tell lies that make them feel better than the lies the other guy is telling.

Will these stats end up in a trump lawsuit trying to prove he won?

…because democracy is a kind of nice thing to have. It prevents a lot of unnecessary bloodshed.

The article makes it clear that the Chinese botnet is targeting Microsoft azure accounts, usually for large organizations involved with governments, infrastructure, legal professionals, science and technology.

It also states that the attacks can be disinfected by regularly restarting your router, but that this doesn’t prevent reinfection later.

The US intelligence services also says you should regularly restart your phone.

This is Microsoft’s posting about it which other news sources are quoting from: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/blog/2024/10/31/chinese-threat-actor-storm-0940-uses-credentials-from-password-spray-attacks-from-a-covert-network/

It has a recommendations section which suggests “credential hygiene” and strong passwords help.

It would be smart to put conventional explosives in, just enough to make salvage more difficult (and to prove they’re bot making dud systems).

Which country is collecting these when they land? Is there a salvage operation or do they detonate?

No way! Really? Slap my knee, and color me surprised! Who’d a thunk!?

Were they really good ones though?

Oh, so we let Capitalism destroy the planet and the ability to easily grow crops …and then resort to running around in the heat doing cannibalism?.. do we know they were billionaires at this point, or is there just still enough meat on them to make them worth hunting?

That’s the problem with post-Capitalist clarity, it leaves you in a really painful situation, and there may be no other destination possible. It nay be the only place Capitalism ends.

That doesn’t even address whether there’s a market in human meat and wealthy traders… And how Capitalist that market started. Oh Capitalism may not have ended yet in this scenario…

That’s what I’m calling all prison convictions. Because there’s a stigma there. It’s part of why prison labour can be so easily exploited. Because it’s a class based stigma.

He’d cheat.

I think Bob’s burgers was kind enough to throw some work his way, he’s been in a few episodes since the charges were laid.

Whether they’ll do so when he gets out, or whether the class based stigma of the conviction will prevent them, is another question.

Musk is in regular contact with Putin, who makes suggestions about where Star link be turned off, or denied access to.

Bezos prevented the Washington Post from endorsing Kamala Harris.

Netflix is helping Israel dehumanize and erase Palestine and Palestinians.

You can actually point to Trump’s fake electors scandal, or the J6 attempt to taint the chain of custody for the state ballot counts before they could be certified at the Capitol, on the day and at the time the riot was orchestrated.

They’re real world Republican led attempts by Trump and co. to endangered the democratic process.

So what are you going to point to in the other direction? Do you have anything?

…and you better not say the Russian interference claims, because they were confimed by a bipartisan intelligence committee, not the Democratic party. The commitee was even led by Republicans.

It will be important to publicize which side is implicated ASAP - and do so clearly with an authoritative voice.

Get away with the first two, and you earn a warning, is that how law enforcement works now at the DOJ?
