TIL that Iran, under the British / USSR partition during WW2 had an absolutely insane civilian death count. Between 3-4 million. Per capita, that's one of the highest civilian death rates for any nation during WW2.

Riley had a very good way of summarizing this: "LLMs are real, AI is fake." LLMs - chatbots trained on things like CTF logs that can break into servers - are real.

Johnnie Walker and Louis Lopez. If you ever had the privilege to work with them you know why they're legends. Passed away from 9/11 related illnesses. The examples they set and the things they taught me live on long after they left us.

A massive crisis is developing in the west over dwindling water. You are going to hear a lot of bullshit. Just remember this: The solution is to stop growing animal feed & vegetables in the desert. That’s it. That’s all we have to do. Just grow stuff that needs water where it rains on the regular.

I was today years old when I found out that actor Michael Dorn is an accomplished pilot who owned an F-86 Sabre in the 1990s. He once ran out of fuel and made an emergency landing at a military airfield. The base commander agreed not to tell the FAA in return for autographs and two low level passes…

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows a black cat. The text above the cat reads, "For a long time, black cats were said to be evil and working with the Devil."
The second panel zooms out and shows Sarah, the protagonist, next to the cat. The text above the pair reads "But now we know that's not true."
The third panel shows Sarah hugging the black cat.
The fourth panel shows an orange cat behind Sarah, standing with its arms reaching up as a fire blazes behind it. The text reads, "It's the orange cats."

One buyout firm quietly collected Pyrex, Corelle, Instant Pot, and Oneida. Farberware is a name on a 200-year lease. And the pans still worth buying.

It’s worth noting that Taco Bell identified the source before the FDA did, and promptly pulled it from their stores. The FDA didn’t even name the source until Taylor Farms outed themselves, and hasn’t issued a recall. Basically, Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA.

It’s frustrating that we filed and won two federal motions this week to open previously closed court records for the public and it didn’t move the needle on subscribers. We do it because we should. And no one else will. But man, yall love supporting things that sound good but don’t do things
